Easter Adventures

 We started out our morning with a fun Easter egg hunt!
 This amazing park is about 10 steps out our front door and was the perfect place for hunting eggs!
 The boys split up and each took a side and found all 42 eggs!
 I could relive the excitement of their finds over and over!
 After our hunt we refueled with some lunch and headed to the Fish Hatchery!
 Dads favorite place to take the boys!  Feeding the huge rainbow trout never gets old:)
 And the Metolius River is always beautiful!
 Feeding the fish!
 This beautiful butterfly landed perfectly on Canyon's hat!
 The weather was a perfect 70 degrees!
 Most of our time was spent exploring the surrounding area and finding the perfect sticks and rocks!
 I could pull up a seat and watch this scene for hours.
 We grabbed the bikes to go explore the river further.

 Sometimes the terrain gets tough so you need to carry your bike!
 This huge fallen tree had the most beautiful branch sticking out of it. 
 Canyon easily points out the "artwork" of the trees.
 He sees the beauty in this perfect branch and it warms my heart.
 A perfect day to watch them explore.
 And there's Sawyer who finds beauty in anything that resembles a weapon.  He was born with an imagination that continues to blow us away:)
 I'm so thankful for this view and find more JOY in watching them than you could ever imagine.
And thankful for a husband that becomes a part of their world creating everlasting memories. 
Happy Easter from the Cannells!

Canyon's New Ride

 Canyon got a new bike yesterday so we had to go try it out!
 Shevlin Park is one of our favorite places to go and the views are stunning!

 Tricks!

 Taking a break to throw rocks in the water!


 More tricks!
 Roasting Marshmallows!
 This pretty much sums up his personality perfectly.  Love these shots!
 Racing with daddy!

 This silly tree branch stopped Sawyer right in his tracks!!
Big brother making sure he's safe on the way back home!

Mt Bachelor Boarding!

 We haven't made it up as much as we would like but when we do it's a wonderful time and always beautiful!!
 Getting tips from dad!
 Our fearless Sawyer!
 Love watching him and the mountains in the background make it a gorgeous site to see!
 Canyon learning some new skills!
 All done!
 Playing on the huge snow hills after riding!


 Creating our very own snow hill!
Another fun day!

Bounce and Bears

 For Christmas we received a gift from Grandpa and Grandma Dosmann to make our very own animals!  It took us awhile to get there but we made it and had way too much fun!!  Canyon picked out a bear and Sawyer chose an elephant!
 First we had to play in all the bounce houses!
 
 Watching my brave brother take a turn on the big slide!
 Cuteness!
Not sure who the boy is in the back ground but he could definitely be in our family:)  Bouncing off the walls never disappoints!  It's a germ factory which makes mom quiver but worth the hand sanitizer bath afterwards!!
