Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

Happy Thanksgiving!! One of my favorite times of the year except for this year. All of our Thanksgiving plans fell through when Aunt Charlotte got sick. The next day Stanley had an upset stomach and as we were leaving Target, he threw up outside the elevator door. Then while watching the biggest loser Dita threw up, and when I got back from watching New Moon I felt sick and then threw up. So on Thanksgiving we all sat around and slept while our parents attempted to make a nice Thanksgiving dinner. After we ate we watched UP and Annie. Overall Thanksgiving for the Cannon family was okay...

Twins a year already!

We were looking at pictures from when the twins were newborns in the hospital and how small and cute they were. We have noticed a big difference in the way they look now compared to last year.

Lenny is climbing up and down the stairs and enjoys walking around with someone holding on to her hands. For her birthday she got a stuffed monkey, and whenever she goes to bed she always has to have it, she likes cuddling with it. She also throws big tantrums whenever she doesn't get her way!

Josh is a big teddy bear. His hair looks looks like Fabio, long and gorgeous. My mom refuses to cut it although it covers his eyes, and he has longer hair than Lenny (she has gotten a couple of trims). He loves to be held and does not really enjoy walking around. Whenever your working on something he will collapse and tackle you. Its very amusing and painful.

Go Carts

A couple of weeks ago, we had the day off from school, I needed to work on my science project. My dad has an shop down in Indiana, where they sort wood and all that good stuff. Anyways, he took me, Dita, Stanley and a couple of neighborhood kids, Pete H. Isaac N. and Noah and Ruth E. The drive was 2.5 hrs long and when we got there we had to work on the science project, but i wont go into detail about that. After (and the real reason everyone came) was to ride the Go Carts, that belong to someone my dad works with. We rode on muddy and slippery ground. There was an abandond railroad track that we used to ride them on. We had an awesome time!

School & the Amazing Exchange Program!

School started on September 8th 2009. I guess you can say that school is going really well. (for now at least). I started 8th grade at LaSalle Language Academy, Dita started 5th grade, and Stanley started Kindergarten. Both are attending Murray. And the twins, well they are your average almost one year olds getting into everything and crawling up the stairs, climbing out of their high chairs and just getting into trouble.
Starting eighth grade at LaSalle means 2 things. 1 you are the oldest in the school and you look down on all of the little kids even though they may be taller than you. And 2 you get an Exchange student. There are 5 languages at LaSalle French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Chineese. I am in spanish and have been for the past 9 years. In LaSalle exchange students from Spain come at the very beginning of the year, i was lucky enough to get an awsome exchange student that i love so much. Her name is Clara. She along with all of the other exchange students from spain have been touring the city while the have been here. It has been alot of fun! I am also so exited because in Febuary of 2010 I get to go to spain and stay with Claras family for 2 weeks! :) I will upload pictures next post.

Activity Camp!

Dita and I decided to host another year of activity camp. We had a really good time. Some of the people that participated-- Mason & Symmes, Autumn, Whitney, Stanley, Reese, Pete and Grace, Sophia, Taft and Phin, Cali and John and Spencer. The kid's favorite day was party day. We played in the water and broke our homemade pinata. Here are some pictures of our good time.

Stair Climbing!

The twins have been crawling for a while and trust me they get into every little thing. We have to start putting up gates around the house and enclosed area for them to play in. The new thing they like to do is stair climbing. They love to climb up the stairs when we're not looking! One time they climbed all the way up to the kitchen without us noticing, i finally came from outside and i found them playing in the kitchen eating Cheerios off the ground under their high chairs. They are still so much fun to play with & are super cute.

Toby and Josh

Our little cousin Annie got a new little puppy named Toby. Josh loved looking and playing with it. Toby wouldn't leave Josh alone!
