Silly Cannon

 Cannon says funny things


Mum mum when you die I’m gonna be a lot sad and a little happy because I’ll get as much money as I want from your wallet. but if dad takes it he might get all that money but when he dies we will get all money for us.

Back to School 2020/2021



I didn’t do a good job of taking the first day of school pictures, we didn’t really have an official first day of to start- but I would say it was after  Labor Day we “started” school... and since then we’ve been doing more and more each day and the kids are pretty good about getting all of their work completed. Some days are better than others, but I’m okay with what we do and the ability and freedom of our time and how we do things together- lots and lots of learning time together.
So here is my attempt at taking pictures of the kids at the start of the school year late Sept/Oct 2020

Cannon is 4 years old

HAP- HAP- HAP- HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
After telling us for weeks what he wanted for his birthday, we had a fun party up in Star Valley with Grandma and Grandpa Hoopes in Fairview. We even sang the Perry Gripp birthday song 4 times and let the birthday boy blow out his candles 4 (or more) times. We are so happy for Cannon- he is our fun little buddy. He says the cutest things and always makes us smile at his enthusiasm for life.

APRIL- EASTER, Spring Break, Brielle birthday, and short cuts PART 1

Our April was pretty busy with lots of the activities, visitors, and celebrating!

SCHOFIELD BARRACKS SPRING FESTIVAL
Usually a couple times a year, there is a huge party here on post at Weyland field. There are food vendors, carnival rides, and inflatable bouncy houses. We like to take the kids right when they first open in order to get some free "stuff" (sunscreen, fans, pens... more junk) and also to take our free picture with whatever seasonal character they have. It is one of my favorite things... and it is just funny to see how the picture turns out with my crazy crew. We let the kids pick one "ride" and this time they chose the battle balls/orbs. I think they all had a great time running and crashing into each other.

EASTER
I had to make sure we put together baskets this year because Necha & Josh and Maggie and Tessa were here! I think the morning was fun, but I will NEVER buy flarp or any substance that resembles a gooey mess. Also the indoor "sand".... uh... no!  So on the bright side, there was a plethora of candy and sugar-induced hyperactivity from the children while we watched (or tried to listen to) General Conference- now that was really wonderful this year!

STORY TIME with CANNON
We love going to hear stories from Miss Terry at the local library. She reads a few stories and then plays some songs with actions and the little toddlers and kiddos try to follow along. I think Cannon is the cutest kid there- very attentive and does well at following instructions!

BRIELLE BIRTHDAY
For a few years now, we have had cousins or Grandparents around for Brielle's birthday which is pretty lucky for her! Last year we went to the dole plantation and got the BIG treat with 3 tall spirals of dole whip with cherry, chocolate, and butterscotch sauce all on top of a 1/2 of a pineapple. It's expensive, but big enough for the group to share so we splurge a little! So of course that has been what Brielle has talked about all year and we had to go again this year. We walk around and look at the different varieties of pineapples, take a few fun pictures, and then we leave. It is a tourist destination after all, so we don't like to spend too much money there ;)

PCC FIELD TRIP
Brielle's Kindergarten class was able to go to the Polynesian Cultural Center and I went along as a chaperone. This is really one of the best field trips learning about the different island cultures and watching the presentations. Brielle is fun to watch in the group. She is excited and smiling, happy to be where she is. I'm so glad to have my parents here so that I can go and be part of the adventures with my kids while they are in school.
