Jodi is 1!!!

 Here is calvi on one of out adventures throwing rocks in the river.

 So Jodi just turned 1, I cant believe how crazy fast the time has gone by.  We had a lot of fun this last couple weeks. My mom came down the day before her birthday and the kids had a lot of fun playing with her. Here we are at the park riding bikes and going on a walk.

 Jodi is such a fun little girl to have in our lives she has a very fun personality. As she is getting older the little girl is coming out in her. She loves to dress up in necklaces and bracelets and play with babies and puppies. She is also very dramatic but so loving and smiley.

 She does love puppies so here she is with her puppy cake she thought it was pretty fun. She likes the cake but was not sure how she liked everyone looking at her and singing. She actually started to cry out of embarrassment or fright I dont know.  It didn't last long she got to eat cake so everything was happy again.

 She did like the cake she loves the sweets!

 We had fun with all the family and friends who were able to come. That Saturday we had everyone come and eat lunch and go swimming. Here are all the kids as soon as we got to the clubhouse the kids ran right to the pool door and wanted to go in.

 Eating lunch!

 Here is dad with the kids I can not get over how silly calvi is. He is wearing his "ee-bow-als"(overals) and his ridiculous juice mustache! He thought it was pretty cool so we just let it happen. Jodi was opening a present we found she is pretty good at that.

 Here is her cake on saturday, the boys couldn't wait to get some cake!

 I just thought this was such a cute little pict of her in her swimming suit just waiting to get in.

 And yes this is a puppy I am laying by. My sis got a puppy and brought it down so we had 5 kids and a puppy running around my house it was crazy but fun. Archie was such a great dog he was good with the kids and he was so cute and cuddly. Thanks to all the family and friends that helped celebrate Jodis big day we had a lot of fun.

 So I need to throw calvi in this post, this last Saturday the primary in our ward got to go up to the temple to walk around and go in the waiting room. I had to go so I decided to take calvi with me. He was way excited he is always asking to go into the temple. As calvi put it, it was awesome to get to put his church cloths on and go with mom to the temple. It was such a great experience for me to be able to take him there. I am so grateful for my family and it is such a blessing to be able to know that I can be with them forever and that my 2 wonderful kids can be with ty and I forever. There is such a wonderful feeling that comes from going to the temple even, if it is just as simple as walking around with a little boy. I am so thankful to have temples in our lives.

Here is calvi just sitting on the steps at the temple. That was one of his favorite things walking up and down all the stairs. He also liked the corner stone with the gold numbers and letters.

Grandmas house and Adventures

 So here are the two silly kids. Calvi got into the freezer to sneak a snack.  He thinks if he gets one for him and one for someone else it is being nice so he wont get in trouble. I had to laugh when he brought our 2 frozen corn dogs and shared one with jodi!

 Here is calvi fast asleep with all his cousins around him he didn't even wake up when they stopped by.

 We took a trip with our Gma, Gpa and Tysen to daddys Gma and Gpa Stuarts house. Calvi entertained himself while in the car he had m&ms and he put them on his ears and thought that was pretty goofy.

 The kids had a lot of fun playing with all of the fun things at their house.

 We got to see and play with cousins.

 The kids also got spoiled by Gma here is jodi making a mess of a Popsicle.

 Jodi likes to show off her tricks to everyone  She would climb on the top of things and just start yelling out and waving her arms she thought she was pretty cool.

Calvi and Tysen getting ready for bed while listening to some of Gmas records. Calvi really liked the 3 little pigs.

The kids before church. We had a really fun time with all the family and are glad we were able to go.

Here is jodi just playing in the leves. 

 So we have been taking mini adventures before church on sundays since our church is at 1:30 it is the best way to get the kids and tyler and I out to get some fresh air.

 They love it we will just find someplace to go and walk around and see what we can see.

 This time calvi found a puddle to fall into and he got all wet and we had to run back to the truck to get him warm. He still had a good time and loved to be bundled up in the blanket.

And here it the little bug just loving taking a tub.

Halloween and the SNOW

 Here are the cheesy  kids hangin up the few halloween decorations we have.

 Kitty cat Jodi and Batman Calvi ready to save the day!

 We had a lot of fun for halloween we got lots of candy so much that at one point calvi said, "mom cary my bucket it is to heavy!"

 Our pumpkin carving experience was interesting. Jodi thought the pumpkin guts were awesome, as you can see she is wanting to eat them. Calvi on the other hand thought the guts were super grose and would not even get close. Thanks to mom cleaning out the pumpkins and dad carving them we got some pretty fun ones.  Calvi wanted a scary one this is the face he showed us.

 We went trick or treating with Gma Gpa and Tysen, Cavli was so excited.

 I made a fun halloween dinner for the kids with mummy dogs, brains, fingers, and other silly stuff. They thought it was pretty awesome.

 So here is the snow!! WHAT ya it was crazy this happened the weekend before Halloween. Calvi woke up one morning and yelled from the top of the stairs "MOM it snowed! I need to go make a snow ball like this" He was so excited we headed out at 7 AM to go play in the fresh snow.

 As you can see it was still dark outside and still snowing. It was a lot of fun that the kids were both old enough to enjoy it.

 I did have to scramble to find some snow gear i was not ready for that so soon.

 Calvi loves to throw snowballs. Here he is getting ready to throw one at Jodi. It is a good thing she loves the snow and doesn't mind when it is thrown at her. She will just eat the snow off of her like no big deal, it is pretty funny.

 This is how much Jodi loves the snow.  I kept thinking she was falling down face in the snow so i would go pick her up and she would just cry.  She didn't want me to help her she is eating snow off of the ground. This is how i found her most of the day.

We had a lot of October fun! You better watch out when you are with calvi in the snow or he will get ya! SNOWBALL!!

October - Halloween= this post

 Here are the kids hangin out with tysen they love him so much. They always go and hang on him and talk to him he is a great uncle!

 Here is our little princess just lounging on the couch with her favorite remote.  She loves this remote and it is the main one for the tv so we try to not let her find it.  To take it from her involves a huge tantrum!

 Here is calvi building a tunnel with gpa flint.

 We had the flint family come to visit one weekend and we had a lot of fun. Here we are at the straw maze it was fun accept we kept getting lost! We had a fun halloween party and enjoyed having everyone together.
