Last Oregon adventures

Here is Calvi in his hotel bed with his little buddy! He is funny he loves to tuck his animals and himself in bed it is pretty cute!
We took a trip to the Oregon coast since we were so close. We headed out one morning and our first stop was Tillamock Cheese factory. It was fun to see how they packaged the cheese and it was also good to taste some!
Then we drove up the coast and stopped at a few beaches along the way. This is us at Twin rocks. The weather was actually really great for being January. It was only really breezy when you were right up to the water. It was overcast all day but it never rained till it was dark and we were eating dinner.
A really fun thing that we got to do was feed seals some dead cut up fish. Calvi thought it was fun to feed them. When you ask him what a seal does he will slap his chest cause that is what the seals did cause they wanted the fish. It was one of our hi lights of the trip.
I liked calvis foot prints in the sand. He had a lot of fun with tyler getting close up to the water and running super fast when a wave came up to not get wet.
Here is the fam at haystack rock at Cannon Beach. We had an awesome day running around on the beach. It was one of our favorite outings while in oregon.
This is how we brought on the New Year. We started a fire in the fire place and watched movies and ate good food and snacks! Whoooo! Notice calvi and i have matching shirts! ha ha
Here are the boys at the Portland temple. Calvi like the water ( the water ponds).
Here is a really huge and awesome play park jungle gym in Washington park. Calvi loved it and the whole thing was perfect for his size!
This is where we spent a LOT of our time at the mall stairs. Here are the kids playing and jodi just hangin out!
We took a trip to krispy Kreme doughnuts. It was fun to see them make the doughnuts and calvi loved eating them!
Here is a cute pict of the kids sleeping on the couch calvi likes to cuddle up and be by jodi sometimes.
Calvi just discovered a love for the tub! he loves to play in the tub especially when we get creative and throw in all kinds of random stuff.
Here is my mom and gma. My mom brooke and her kids came to see us the last week we were there. We went to visit my grandparents for the week then went back to portland spent the night and packed up and headed out. It was a lot of fun to have them come up and join us.
I had a lot of fun while on our adventure in portland. It was a great experience for ty and our family it made us really appreciate how close we are with our families back in idaho. It is so nice to have so many people who care for our kids and are a part of their lives. This is jodi back at home while we un packed the car. Calvi was so funny he got inside and said "mine own house!" he just kept saying it over and over he was so excited and happy to be home!

Ducks, Horses and Boys and a Girl!

Here is our Jodi bugs she is getting pretty chubby we just love her! Calvi likes her shirt he kept saying cupcake cupcake!
We found this really awesome park that is not to far from where we are staying. It is a dog walking park so there are a lot of people and their dogs which calvi likes. There is also a big duck pond.
I have a cousin who lives not far from where we are and she had 2 boys, they are so cute. Calvi has really been missing his friends and cousins and so it is fun for him to hang out with these boys. He cant say their names so we call them the cousins. We took the boys to this carousel that is in the food court of a mall. They really liked it and we got there a little early and they were excited to get on.
This picture is so cute! Jacob likes Calvi and wanted to sit by him. It is cute cause Calvi will just follow him around and they get along real well. I also thought it was cute that they were both wearing camo jackets i kept getting them confused. We also took the cousins to the duck park where they saw ducklings as Jacob would say.
Ty has been working hard here we have gone to the office a few times to be with him while he was working and here are the kids camped out in the office. Calvi likes sitting in jodis seat it is like a little rocking chair. He will sit there for a long time and just watch mickey mouse.
And end with a little more Jodi bugs. I love that she still has long hair. Some of it has fallen out but it already has started to grow back in those spots.
