Did I mention...

Did I mention that this beautiful girl will be officially joining the Cannon family next week??

 

We couldn't be more excited!!

Cannon's Soccer Game

I have been feeling like the most terrible aunt having not been to one of Cannon's game this season, but yesterday we were fortunate to make it to one and were not disappointed! This kid has got mad skills already!

Michael's Triathlon

Michael participated in a triathlon a couple of weekends ago and did really well. I was there to help time and cheer on the competitors and got to see him most of the race.

This was how dreary the morning began, but cleared up just at the start of the race.

Sweet Surprise

I am back in full swing, school mode. Stressed out already and came home to this LOVELY surprise :)

My mother-in-law knows me way too well and thought I should kick off the semester right.

San Diego

My mother and father put on, yet again, another wonderfully entertaining family vacation. We are so fortunate to have family that we love to spend so much time with and truly cherish moments like these where we are all together without any distractions. The days were filled with Sea World, beach bumming, paddle boarding, bike riding, ship exploring, flight simulators, game playing, yummy treats and dinners and an inspiring fireside by Dad. Thanks for all the precious memories we can add to our list!!

Garrett on the attack

Yosemite

After finals ended, we headed up north for a few days. I finally got to meet Gary and Melissa's little guy Owen and see there beautiful new home in Fresno. Michael had helped them move in a couple months ago, but did not give me nearly enough details to prepare me for how stunning it is. They truly found a gem!

We headed from there to Yosemite and hiked Half Dome Thursday, A-Ma-ZING! I have never done any part of this hike before and it was breathtaking. Due to the late snow fall this year, the waterfalls were spectacular-seriously. The pictures don't do justice for how beautiful they were.

Here is the journey from beginning to end:
