Our Kids

Our Kids

The Cannon Family

I wish I could say the kids are always this loving to eachother, but that would be stretching the truth.. Haleigh is twelve and in seventh grade, Hannah is ten and in fourth grade, Hunter is five and in kindergarten, and Mallorie is now one and in the toddler class.. I will have to say they all love Mallorie a lot and they are always kissing and hugging on her, I know that will someday change but right now it is just so sweet. Haleigh and Hannah fight the most, but would they be sisters without all the drama? We just know we are very blessed to have beautiful and healthy kids.
I hear so many people these days talking about finances and worried about the future.. I would be lying if I said I don't worry about our finances.. I am trying to keep us on a budget and trying to get dept paid off, but when you have kids that is really hard to do.. How do you tell precious babies like these no? I know people tell me, well you decided to have them.. Yea I did, but God had some planning in that, and when I think about this I get a little upset and think should we have not had four kids? I am sorry but there is not any amount of money worth me not having all four of my kids, and God chose us to be their parents..WE ARE BLESSED!!!

Mallorie

Mallorie is such a doll and just goes with the flow of this family, which is a blessing because we are always on the go... She started last week letting us know when she is eating if she wants more or down.. She knows the sign language for more and the kids just love making her do this.. I do have to admit it is really cute..She is just such a ball of fire and she doesn't take anything off of anyone.. She definitely holds her own..

Hunter

Well, dad just thought Hunter has to play flag football, so now we have two games to sit through every Saturday.. Hunter will have his first game this coming Saturday, he has practices on Monday and at least two more times during the week... How are we going to fit all this in??? Not sure yet I am just taking it day by day...

Hannah

We signed Hannah up for the tackle football cheerleader, which will start this coming Saturday..She is so excited I can't wait to see her in action. Because of this we have cheer practice every Monday after school and Saturday until the season starts. By the end of the week I am completely worn out..

Haleigh


Haleigh keeps us busy with volleyball, tumbling, and cheer. Every Monday night Haleigh has a volleyball game, which she has done really well with. She was so disappointed with volleyball in the beginning because she made the B team, I told her that was great considering I never made the volleyball team.. (that didn't help any because I am her mom). Haleigh has since made the A team which she is very happy about..this just makes us have more games and tournaments.. Haleigh is also on a competitive cheer team in Longview - ETAS and we are about to start competitions which means we will now be on the road at least one weekend a month. She is such an outgoing girl with lots of goals and accomplishments. We are very happy for her, if now we can just work on the attitude.. Others tell me I have a long road for this one...
