This was my favorite picture (So far) this week. We went to Zion (partly to make good use of my mom's free pass but it turned out it was "no fee" week anyway) but it was absolutely gorgeous! Just kind of one of those deals where I sigh and think how did we not come here more when we lived here. 

Oh the week. I can't remember much from the weekend, Saturday family naps are always a highlight. We went to a park and Blake and Isaac played wiffle ball/home run derby. The kids ran around and had fun. Sunday Isaac ended up going on visits which was kind of a bummer just because we took off Monday and won't see him for almost 2 weeks but that's one of the things I love about him, he's so willing and happy to go. It was a long time but really when he got back we had so much fun talking about some people he'd met, and what they already knew about he church and all that fun stuff. It was good. Monday we had a pretty good travel day-we had to wait an extra hour at the Shreveport airport because they were replacing an engine sensor...just a sensor but still when they say something about the engine over the PA system it makes ya swallow kind of hard. Cannon's getting the sequence down pretty good. The things he ends up saying are: Drive Shreveport, Airplane, Las Vegas, Grama, Grama's house and such. Then I ask who will be there and he says "Poppa Cheep (Chip)", Ann, "Poppa Drreat (great)" When we told him Grampa Great probably wouldn't be there that he was up to his house he said "Oh,...Darn!" it was SO Cute! But good news for Cann Man he actually had come down to see him so he was here when we got here. Cannon was so excited when we walked in the door he didn't know what to do. Play with Ann? Give Grampa Great knuckles? Play with the dogs? Or Maybe Grampa Chip? He was so excited and had so many options it was too cute and to funny. Cannon still loves the dogs, the feed yard the Rhino and everything but this trip he totally fell in love with the little metal backhoe, he'll hardly let it out of his hand.

He liked it just 3 weeks ago when we were here but this time its like if he's going to watch Curious George he has to have it on his lap. He's spent hours digging with it out back, one night I brought it back in and sprayed it off and convinced him that he should get in the bath too because the backhoe had already had a bath. Oh he gets so dirty-just filthy especially when he and grampa go drive the tractor -for hours- and stir up all kinds of dust and the kid is just in HEAVEN. Naps and eating are bothersome events that mom just insists on and keeps nagging him about there is just too much fun to be had! I only have pics from when he convinced me to take him to the feed yard but that's not really when the fun times are, my dad is so awesome, he comes home from work and Cannon knows the fun is ON! They feed the horses and check on Grampa and Drive Drive Drive the tractors and who knows what else but they're usually gone at least of couple hours or else make an least a couple of trips (in the Rhino, with the dogs, per Cannon's request...or insistence) 

Fun with Ann: a walk to the park, "shaking" with Sugar, and a few episodes of Curious George

Grampa's (well Klem's) piggys. 

Other events from the week.
Grandma and Grandpa Ison got their mission call and they are going to Columbus OHIO!!! (ps I guessed right on the guessing game)
We got in on one of Klem's Stir Fry's. MMMM and we got to visit with Coach Allen, we just chatted and chatted about anything and everything it was so fun.
I got a new phone. Yeah
Isaac went to OKC and got our new car :) This is really the only pic I have but I'm so excited!! He had to drive through Shreveport to get home and offered to leave it for us but I declined. But, if my initial excitement is any indication-we're going to love it!

He's busy with school-even though I think he only has one in class final next week, then the week should slow down for him. We have plans to "see" little bro :) and Grama and Granpa Ison are going to sneak down tomorrow. So we're just soaking up the fun and the beautiful weather and enjoying life!
