Cannon's 12th b-day "cake". Frankie made Cannon a delicious chocolate chip cheesecake for his actual birthday. However, a few days later we invited his best friend since forever, Madison, and her family over for a celebration so Jewel and I surprised Cannon with a donut cake!. Cannon is OBSESSED with donuts so he LOVED his "cake" (I stuck barbecue skewers in so the donuts wouldn't unpyramid).

I really wish Cannon hadn't jutted his chin up and had a glare with his glasses b/c this would have been a really good birthday pic.

Frank has gotten me hooked on a series, "Robin Hood". I think it is on the Sci-Fi channel, but I'm not certain since we get it through out program at Hollywood Video (very similiar to Netflix"). I enjoy having shows that Frank and I can watch together late at night after the kids finally fall asleep (sometimes Frank and I fall asleep before they do, but oh well, we're old now we've accepted it.

Cannon wrote a poem about G'ma Rose for school. I'm posting it with his permission.

Rose

She would give me sweets as Halloween treats

She always smelled nice like sugar and spice

She had a nice smile like a crocodile

She was so religious she was overzealous

She was a volunteer and did it with great cheer

She was very loving and did a lot of journaling

She was very giving while she was still living

And she gave me a cross a reminder of my loss

Cannon still thinks that poems should rhyme. I liked the poem because his sentiment is so sincere. He and his classmates were told to write a poem about anything-he choose G'ma Rose.

Have a Blessed evening.
