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.
