Fun Weekend in Paris

This picture is out of place....This is Kanyon visiting his great Aunt Gwen Ann and Uncle Brad at their shop....He was very happy to see Gwenny again!!! More on this later.

Kanyon and I went to Paris this past weekend for a baby shower. Kanyon didn't go to the shower, he got to stay with grandma. Even though he didn't get to go to the shower, he did lots of other fun things. Of course, I'll tell you about the weekend via way too many pictures.

Here is Avery wearing her Mrs. Potato Head glasses. She was so much fun! Roselyn was out of town, so Avery and Kanyon had some time just the two of them. She was so sweet. She would look at Kanyon and pat his head so gently and then be so excited. She will be a sweet, gentle big sister!

Friday was a HUGE day for Kanyon. Right up there with his homecoming and his first smile. He made his first trip to TACO DELITE! Those of you from Paris know how monumental this is. He slept most of the time, but I know he LOVED it! Here we are outside TD with Mo and Avery (and yes, I cut my hair).

This was his first time to meet his great Uncle Brad (aka Uncle Pee Wee) He owns a motorcycle shop, so it was a good thing Kanyon had been practicing riding his chopper last week with Kory because he got to "ride" on a real dirt bike. Uncle Pee Wee got one just his size.

Kanyon appears to be a little confused as to exactly how to drive this thing.
Uncle Pee Wee showing him how to hold the throttle....
And, like the smart boy that he is, he was practicing holding the throttle (and it looks like he was even making a motorcycle noise with his mouth).
Thanks for the "ride" Uncle Pee Wee!!!

Clint was in and out this weekend, but Rachel and Roselyn were gone the whole time, so he was out at mom and dad's house a lot. So...Kanyon got to spend some QT with his uncle Clint. Here is Kanyon giving Clint his birthday card.

Snoozing in the chair after Clint fed him (yes, he fed him..I was impressed!)
Kanyon woke up Saturday morning and mom got him and went to wake up Clint because he had to leave. When mom got up there, Kanyon and Clint both decided they needed a little more sleep, so they cuddled up and they both slept for a while longer. I was asleep downstairs (thanks mom) but luckily mom caught this sweet moment on her camera.


We went out to the land because Dad and his gang were camping out. Unfortunately Avery and Kanyon got out there and decided they were ready to go back in after about 10 minutes. Just one of those times that you're reminded things don't always go as you plan when you're with little ones.

Sweet smile for Grandmommy Thippy Thappy (long story on that name, but mom won't decide on a name and this one keeps popping up. Its from something we used to say when we were little kids)
Kanyon and Auntie Ali got to hang out some more this weekend.
He met his cousin Lara for the first time!

A special surprise was that great Aunt Nancye came to visit us! We were all very happy, and as you can see, Kanyon enjoyed cuddling with her.

He seems to have a way of putting people to sleep
We all know that when Aunt Nancye comes, she doesn't come empty handed. She comes with gifts that only she could find. She has a way of knowing just what we all "need". Like this furry bear hat. She takes it upon herself to keep us up on Baby Gap's latest inventory....we love it! This hat will be perfect for our Montana Christmas. Kory says it looks like an Ewok from Star Wars.
She also brought this wind-up bath turtle....it makes bath time even more fun. Yeah, can't you tell how excited Kanyon is!?!
Aunt Nancye and my mom gave him a bath. Kanyon got the royal treatment with both of them around this weekend. I got treated pretty great too, with all the helping hands!

One more quick note. We went to the Dr. yesterday to get our first flu shot. He weighed 11lbs. 3.5 oz. Yipee! And another "medical" update...Kanyon had probably his best day of therapy so far on Monday. He is getting so much stronger holding his head up. Me and Celia (his PT) were very proud. Keep it up Kan Man!
