Birthday Boy!

Today is Cannon's 7th birthday! He is king for the day! We sure feel blessed to have Cannon to be part of our family. Here are some of the things that we love about Cannon:

1. His laugh. Cannon's laugh is contagious and really cute. It's hard not to smile when he is does his giggle.
2. Cannon is very thoughtful. He expresses it in his journal to his teacher so, so, so, so much. (That's for Claire :) ) He writes about how much he enjoys doing things with his family, cousins, grandparents, uncles, and friends in many school projects, at church, and whenever he
creates things.
3. Cannon loves to do things with Christian. They are the best of friends.
4. Cannon is a very smart student. He watches Bianca closely and learns the things she is learning when she is doing her homework. He takes his time on his homework even when others rush through with it. The other day he was doing homework on measurements. He had to take steps from 2 different places in the home. He was gone downstairs for awhile and then
I see him coming up the stairs counting 275... 276... Cannon where are you counting from? "From my bed to the front door." He decided to go all the way around the kitchen through the family room, out to the back door and then to the front door. I think it is somewhere around 750 steps. I lost count. Cannon didn't. Silly boy!
5. Cannon loves to be active. He loves playing soccer. We love that he has soccer to release that activeness in him!
6. Cannon enjoys life. He is almost always a happy camper.
7. Cannon loves going to Primary. In Primary his answers are always thoughtful and from his heart.
8. Cannon is a good friend. Most importantly he considers his brother and sisters his most important friends.
9. Cannon learns things very quickly. He tries something and it usually comes fairly easily for him.
10. Most of all we know Cannon to be a follower of Jesus. In his actions he tries to do what Jesus would do.

We love you Cannon and hope you have a Happy Birthday today!
