Just a couple of kids

Here are the kids. I just love them! This is the best pict i have of them since they are so wiggly and calvi didnt want to hold jodi for to long.
Jodi is all smiles she really is happy a lot.
This is how pictures usually are. Calvi is just takin off his shoes and jodi is done taking picts. These pictures are the ones that really make me laugh cause that is what it is usually like when i want to take a nice pict.
Calvi loves jodi so much. He really looks out for her. She was here sleeping on the couch and then calvi saw her and i looked over cause i thought he was poking at her and this is what i found. he had to lay right next to her. He calls her his jodi bugs.
Here we are on calvis favorite walk here in portland right on the river. We always see the choo choos and boats, buses and bridges. There is a lot going on down there.
This is one of calvis favorite things to do is the mall stairs. It is so cute sometimes in the day he will just say go mall stairs and play toys. He likes to ride the stairs and then play on the toys they have at the mall.
One day we went to this beautiful place Multnomah Falls. It was really pretty and we even went up and walked across the bridge. We are really enjoying all the green and trees. it is defiantly a change from the idaho desert.
And end with another pict of Jodi. I feel like she is turning into a mommas girl since she has really had no one accept me to hold her all day. She did ok with my Gma and cousins at Christmas but I just cant wait till we get home and there will be so many people who will need to take their turn holding her!

Merry Christmas 2011

Hey i hope everyone had a great christmas we sure did. We did a few activities around here and one of our favorites was going to a place called peacock lane. It was a street where everyone on it decorated their house with lights it was really fun to walk up and down and see all the awesome lights.
Since we are here in Oregon we were not able to make it back to Idaho to be with our familys wich we really miss. We were lucky to have my grandparents and cousins who live in Eugene about 1 1/2 hrs away to go be with. We got there friday evening to start the festivites.
My cousins came to my Grandparents house every night to play games. It was fun to visit with them and Gma had enough candy, and snacks to keep us plenty full.
Here are the kids in their christmas pj's. Calvi had mickey mouse he was so excited and he just went around saying mickey mouse. It is crazy how i got them a little big and they were falling off sometimes but i know it only takes a matter of weeks before he will fit them just right. I already had to go through jodis cloths cause she is growing so fast!
Me and the kids in our red and green!
Christmas morning was fun this year calvi acutally got excited and went through everything. We just took our time with things he would stop and play with everything for a while and we didnt even end up opening presents till after lunch and church! he would open a present and play with it for a while then go to the next thing. it was hard to get him to keep opening them so we just took our time.
Here he is with some of his christmas loot.
Santa came!! All our stockings ready to get into!
And end with our sweet little girl! She also had a great christmas. She is just such a happy smiley little girl!

More Excitment!

If having this sweet little baby wasnt exciting enough we have more to come. Jodi has been such a good girl. She sleeps great eats great and is pretty good except when she eats sometimes she gets really bad tummy aches. Calvi went through the same thing so we are just trying to get through that. But she really is a happy little girl.
For Thanksgiving this year we spent it at our friends house. This is Calvi and his friend Cake (Kate). They have a lot of fun playing together. We had a great time and had really good food.
We also went to Twin Falls and saw our family. Here is a pict of us at Tylers parents greenhouse with all the christmas flowers. We got to see a lot of family and had a great time with some more good food.
Ok here is for the big news, we are currently living in Portland Oregon. This is calvi reading a tractor book from his grandparents on the ride. Tyler is here helping a company get their IT department working better and we will be here till at least the end of the month. We found out that we would be moving there 2 days before Thanksgiving so we also spent that day packing all our stuff into our car. We live at a Marriott Hotel it is actually a fun experience. Our room is pretty big it has a full kitchen and living area 2 bathrooms and one room. Since we will be here during Christmas i brought a few Christmas things and our stockings are hanging by our fireplace. There are a lot of perks living at a hotel like an awesome continental breakfast every morning, dinner 2-3 days a week, and a lady who comes to clean the place everyday. It is pretty fun and we live right next to a very large mall so we go on walks there and play on the toys and stuff there.
Here are the kids just out of the tub. They are so cute together. Calvis new thing is to go to Jodi and tickle her tummy he is so soft and he just thinks it is so funny.
It is nice living in a big city we have found some fun things to do. Here is Calvi at the Portland Childrens Museum. They had a ton of hands on things for kids to do ages 6 months to 10 years. One of Calvis favorites was the Water Works center.
They had a big lego display going on and here is ty and calvi by a super awesome lego knight!
And here we are in the big frame. It is funny i dont really have any picts with Jodi in them cause i am always caring her in the backpack. She loves it and always falls right asleep.
Living here we are really close to my Grandparents in Eugen and so we went to visit them this last weekend. Here is calvi next to their singing christmas trees Calvi loved them! My grandma had fun holding Jodi all weekend even if she was fighting the tummy troubles.
I also made a bunch of cookies while we were there for Christmas cause i dont have all the stuff to make all the yummy treats that i want. We have NO room to bring anything home and so i have been trying to cook with the least amount of ingredients as possible. Here is clavi worn out after making cookies. He also had a couple bad falls and scraped up his face. Ty did not want to take him in public cause he was afraid that someone would think he beat his kid.
We live right by a huge mall and they had a Santa thing going on one day. They had a puppet show with a bunch of fun things for the kids to do. Calvi colored a pict and they put it in a little frame he got some fun prizes for playing games then santa came and read the kids a book and he brought milk and cookies for all the kids. Calvi loved it and he kept saying santa ho hoho. So now whenever we go to the mall he thinks we are going to see Santa Hohoho.
And here is Portland. It has been about half and half of foggy and sunlight. It is defiantly different weather here. We are having fun and finding lots of fun Christmas things to do.

Jodi Flint is finally here!!

Our little girl was finally born 9 days late on November 9th. It was a super fast labor 9 hrs in the hospital and she was born at 3:14 AM. She weighted 7lb 4 oz and is 19 in tall. She is so sweet has lots of dark hair and looks a lot like her brother.
Calvi has been really good with her. He says Jodi but it sounds like Judy. It is so cute he know she is his sister and he will give her a kiss and hug on demand. Hopefully that will last a while. He is so cute when she makes a noise he will go and check on her or he will say sister or judy?
Here they are at the hospital it is crazy how calvi was so little and after holding Jodi calvi just weighed a ton! He is still my little man but he seems so much bigger! It is crazy how Jodi was born a lot bigger than Calvi was and i can really tell a difference between the two. Jodi has been so good about eating sleeping and for the most part seems pretty calm. She does like to be cuddled and when i put her down sometimes she will just whine a little till i pick her up and then she is ok.
It is crazy how our little family is now a family of 4. It is so great to have such cute little kids i love them both. Tyler is such a great help especially through the delivery i am pretty sure his hands are broken for life but he still hung on. We have had lots of family and friends come and see us and it is so much fun to be able to share her with everyone.
Here is a pic of me and my sisters dont worry that none of us are holding our own children. crazy how within less than 3 years there are 5 kids!! We are all home and doing great everything went well and i am feeling back to my normal un-pregnant self!

Summer is OVER

So here is out last picture of summer. The days of eating watermelon at the park is over. It snowed for the first time this week CRAZY to think. Oh well here we go again i had to get out our coats and warm stuff and i actually have to wear pants now.
This last week we went to celebrate Grandmas 90th Birthday! It is so crazy to think what has happened in the last 90 years i only hope i can live a great long life like her.
Here is Calvi watching conference sitting in between his Gma and Pa flint. He had fun running them around and playing with trucks. We had a great time visiting with family and Calvi had fun playing with the cousins and Grandmas and Grandpas!

Catching up September

Here are my favorite boys. They are so cute. Ty has been working so hard getting things done at work we have not seen to much of him, so I love these moments that we have! Calvi loves his dad!
We also had a great time watching one of my long time friends kids for the day. They are so sweet here is her little boy he is only like 2 months older than calvi and they had so much fun playing together. She also has a sweet little girl. Now the question is why dont we live closer they are so cute!
We had the chance to make it to the Idaho State Fair. Calvi had a lot of fun looking at animals and getting a famous Culligan hat with a feather.
Calvi has been spending a lot of time at the park. He has gotten really good at climbing on all the toys. He also loves to swing. Here he is "I lost my hat!"
Crazy time here the boys went to their first father son camp out. I was a little crazy to think that our little guy was old enough to go out by himself to hang out with the big boys. Ty just took him for the evening and he said he wished he would have brought stuff to camp cause Calvi didn't want to leave. Calvi had such a great time hanging out with his dad and the other boys in the ward. I spent the evening helping my friend make a blanket it was fun. Crazy to think next time i will have a little girl to hang out with while the boys go on their adventures.
Here is a funny shot it is sad but this is not the first time this has happened. He is so funny sometimes he gets so worn out he cant even eat. It does make for a peaceful dinner.
Aunt Jilly came to visit and brought her wagon. The kids had fun going for a ride. That thing is big it fit Clara, Calvi and Jamen. The summer is coming to an end.

puppy kisses

Last month we spent some time in Twin with family. Here is calvi at my parents house getting kisses their puppy tina. She is such a great dog with kids calvi loves her. My mom found some cowboy boots that use to be my little brothers and calvi wears them everywhere. Also the medal that is a toy that is at the house and for some reason calvi always finds it and has to wear it.
Here we are playing in the water with gma and Andy. Andy left on a mission last wed and so it was fun being able to spend some time playing with him.
Andy is one of calvis buddies he takes him on 4 wheel rides and lets him play with his phone. He really likes Andy, they are just chillin watching some tv.
Here is my whole family at least one of the best of the 6 picts that were taken. It is hard to get my family to take a picture, i have a family full of boys who dont like pictures. It is nice to see how the family is growing, look at all the kids!
Here are some random picts of us around the house. Calvi has a problem he keeps opening the oven, the thing is that he always puts a hot pad on his arm. He has not gotten hurt yet but i really need to figure out how to lock it.
Here is calvi going for a ride in gmas wagon. it is funny when ever he needs a nap we just throw him in the wagon and it doesn't take long. He loves riding in the wagon with little scooby.
Calvi also likes to help out with the laundry and has recently found out he can climb inside! He has been having so much fun growing up and figuring out all these new things.
