Big Bro, Little Sis

Thanks to Rock for the big brother and little sister clothes!

McKenna Marie, born 7/1/11

My baby girl is here! When we found out it was a girl I was so excited and grinned ear to ear. Now that she's here it just gets better and better every day, I can't imagine life without her. I can only hope to have a relationship with her like I have with my mom. Only I won't let her move a whole state away from me ;)

Candon is being a great big brother. First he asked if we could put her back into my tummy but now he wants to hold her all the time and gives her the "yum yums" when she cries.

Amanda Andrews took her newborn pictures and I couldn't be happier with them. I have this picture all over the house. Kevin thinks I'm a little obsessed with it!

Candon and Baby Maiah!

I love to hold baby Maiah (my cousin)! Well, for a minute or so, then I try to push her off of me when she starts moving too much!

Bring on Spring!

I am ready for spring! Here I am with my mom and my baby sister (22 weeks), you can't see her though because she's in mommy's tummy!

My dad put me in the washing machine...doesn't he remember that I love to shower? I think a shower would be much safer!

Here I am on my favorite bike! I could ride around outside all day long!

Play Lab

P and his Mommy!

Me and Bray in the tape maze, it was slippery!

Me and Gwamma Joan building towers!


We went to the Play Lab in Mankato a couple of weeks ago with Braylon and Porter and Amanda and Gwamma. We had a lot of fun! The tape maze was awesome!


This weekend Braylon and Porter and Ben and Amanda came to my house! We got to go to the Children's Museum and to Chucky Cheese! I will keep asking my mom when Braylon and Porter and Ben and Amanda are coming back to my house, if I ask her every day, maybe they can come back in March! I hope so!

(Message from Mom: Candon says their names like that, listing them all with "and" inbetween)

It's a Girl!

Candon and mommy (almost 19 weeks) put stickers on our babies! (Candon says there's a baby in his tummy too!)
Candon being difficult - he wouldn't take a belly picture with me!

Candon's Bro/Sis

Tomorrow we get to find out if Candon gets a brother or a sister! I'm sure the anticipation is killing him as he sleeps soundly in his Mickey bed with his Pooh humidifier! Stay tuned!

Gotcha!

geez I love this winter wonderland thang

It's Christmas time!

I sat on Santa's lap but I wouldn't look at him! Mom said I wanted choo-choos. When we were leaving I did yell "Bye Santa" and waved at him. I should get some credit for that right? I think I should be on the good boy list!

I smiled very nicely when I was a penguin! I was just happy because Daddy gave me hot chocolate in a sippy so I could stay nice and warm while we walked through the Rotary Lights. Yum!

For Rojo...

Here you go Rojo! "I help Dad!"

I loved decorating the Christmas tree with mom and dad! Now I know why mom wants to decorate on November 1st instead of waiting until after Thanksgiving! I'm waiting for my advent calendar so I can eat chocolate before dinner every day until Christmas!

I spent a week in New Ulm because my parents went to Mexico without me! :( But I had a great time with Gwamma, Gwampa, Ziggy, Braylon (and Baxter and Maddie of course). It was so fun playing at Gwamma's and going to the cabin for Memorial Day that I was kind of sad to come back home! THEN, to make it worse, I had to start a new daycare when I came back! So, mom says I've been a bear ever since! I'm getting better, I think...maybe... :) She still loves me though :)

Daddy looooooves his garden. And he should, it's pretty awesome. Today I helped him plant some sweet corn. He planted the first row in like March mom says! We have to plant them at different times otherwise mom says corn will be coming out of my ears! That sounds scary! My favorite part of the garden is the dirt. Mom actually lets me go in there!

I don't smile nice for my mom for pictures. I figure if I do then she will never put the darn camera down. But, I did let her trick me. She made me show her where my teeth were! How can you do that without smiling?! Tricky mommy!

My daddy puts me in trees!

Where's the tato?

I make my mom crack up. I push her away from the kitchen counter when she's making dinner because I want her to play with me instead. So tonight she gave me a pan and a potato to play with. Little did she remember, that in the end, I'm still just a boy.

Candon giggles are the best medicine

Howdy Partner!

Happy Halloween from Rough, Tough, Cowboy Candon!

I'm a lean, mean, lassoin' machine! I had spurs, a lasso, a gun and holster, cowboy boots, all the rest of the stuff you can see in the picture. I didn't like my hat too much, but the rest was awesome! I kept trying to lasso me a Keeber but mom kept saying "be nice to Keeber"...she always says that! I love my cowboy boots, I would wear them everyday if I could!

Slugger Candon

Watch out! I'm going to hit a homerun! Mom said she wanted to put up the Christmas tree but since it was 68 degrees out we got to play outside instead! We went to the park too...actually 2 parks because I cried when we left the first one so Mom took me to another one :) I'm so sneaky!
