August

 I just love my little kids so much and lately I have been finding Calvi sneaking into bed with jodi. It is so sweet and i just have been taking a pict every night it is so cute. Here are just a couple.

 The kids were having a cookie party

 We loved the sun and we were outside every day! The kids found a love for corn on the cob and they will eat it before I can even cook it!

 I made a little pad for jodis car seat and she just loved it and wanted to sit in it forever cause it was PINK!

 We took the kids bowling for the first time with some cousins and they LOVED it! It was fun to watch them have fun.

 We went to Rigby lake with some friends and they loved swimming and playing in the sand.

 On really fun thing we did as a family this year was we got some tubes to float in the water. There is this canal river thing that flows right through Rexburg and we floated trough it. The kids had fun we stopped along the way to fill up with rocks to throw out along the way.

 We went to the St. Anthony Sand bar and played there the kids loved the super long slide they had.

 We got to spend a really fun weekend with Tys family going camping, boating and just hanging out.

 The kids loved the water and the ride on the tube.

 We found a really fun, pretty spot to camp.

 The kids had fun playing and being outside! We all had a lot of fun even though the mosquitos were SUPER bad! We had so much fun This summer and there is still more pictures to come!

July Catch Up

 So we have been very behind this time mostly cause I got a fun new phone that I have been taking the majority of my pictures on. I have been trying to get them onto my computer and Tyler finally put them on for me after having 300+ pictures!! So we had a great time for the 4th of July watching the parade.

 The kids really loved the sparklers. They went through a box each! My mom came up that day to hang out for the weekend at a family reunion.

 We took the kids camping and they loved it as you can see. They pretty much played in the water and in the dirt the whole time.

 Here are the kids playing with their friends. They all wanted to play doctor at the same time.

 Calvi loves temples and so we took him to see the Idaho falls temple. He had a hard time going to nursery by himself so we told him if he could figure it out we would take him on a temple trip. He did really well one week so we took the kids for a little short trip. They loved it. We have planned to go see all the temples in utah in a few weeks!

 Calvi and his matching robot! He loves robots and his gma got him one and it happened to match him!

 Calvi found an old reunion shirt and he knows his dad has one. He loves to wear it when tyler is so they match!

 My friend Heather super surprised me by coming to visit. They moved to Pennsylvania a few months after our boys were born. Her boy was born 3 days before calvi so it was so fun to catch up and see her kids!

 Calvi has enjoyed riding the carousal this summer especially when he could ride it with his uncle Tysen!

One of calvins favorite accomplishments of the summer was climbing up this bad boy! He was so excited when he figured it out he could not stop.

June

 We had been having so much fun this summer! Here are some of our adventures. Calvi got a black eye in nursery. That is what you get for playing super heros with your friend and dont see the garbage can. He thought it was cool.

 Jodi found out how to climb out of her crib so we put her into a big girl bed. The first few nights she didn't really get the whole bed thing and we would find here here by her door wanting to come out and eventually falling asleep. She is now a pro and loves the bed.

 Calvi is still lovin the bike some days his bike is a bike some days it can be a train or an airplane. He is pretty creative with it.

 Calvi has also found a new intrest in air planes. He went to the airport museum in Rexburg with Tyler and he loved it. Now he can spot them in the air and lets everyone know about it.

 One rainy day calvi came to me and said mom I want a super hero cape. So like any awesome mom we made it happen. Not only did calvi get a new outfit but so did Max!

 Jodi loves the water!  She loves going to the splash park and runs around more than calvi.

 This is what calvi likes to do. He will play in the water for a bit then run and sit by us to get warm.

 My little sister has now moved far far away to Maryland it is sad but before she left we got a few fun times in. They came to visit one last time in Rexburg and we played at the park. Thanks to aunt jilly calvi loves to spin on the swings.

 Here we are after we packed most of the stuff up for them to go. We love the buffets! Where else can the kids get cotton candy and cookies on a stick for lunch!

 Here is grandpa and Gubby. He is so cute and has an awesome smile!

 Here is our truck with just some of the things that we brought back that jill could not take with them. Brooke and I had a HUGE yard sale for her it was really fun but we did have a ton to sell.

 Tysen was able to come hang out with us for a few days and we had so much fun. As you can see he is awesome with the kids and they love to have him here. He is such a great help.

 Jilly made this awesome jungle gym and the kids have had so much fun with it. We drilled some holes in it to make it a water gym. These guys have loved to play in the water. We have just had so much fun outside in this wonderful weather this summer.  More picts will come of all our adventures!

May

 So May has been a little crazy for us. We have all been sick in some way or other and there has not been 1 day this whole month that all of us have been well at the same time! Ya I am pretty tired of it all but we did manage to get out and get some fresh air.  It did rain a lot this month and the kids had fun playing in the rain they got super wet but it was really fun for them.

 Since we have been inside a lot when there is a nice day the kids just want to be outside. Here they are reading books in our tent we made.

 For mothers day weekend we were able to go visit our family in twin. We had fun seeing everyone and playing at our grandparents house. We had a fun bbq with tys family and my whole family was able to be home to talk to my brother Andy. This is the last time we all got to talk to him cause he is coming home August 27th!!!

 Here is one of all the kids it is getting harder to take good picts of all these guys.

 We also had fun riding horses with Grandpa.

 Just hangin on the fence waiting for our turn to ride.

 Calvis new thing is riding a bike! My mom found a bike and we took it home and put some training wheels on it and he just took off! It is so crazy to think he is big enough to ride a big guy bike and he loves it. He has ridden it most days since we got it. We all went on a family bike ride to the park and he had so much fun and was so proud he was able to do it!

 The kids have likes to just play in the front yard we find all kinds of random stuff to do out there.

 Jodi is such a little girl. Here she is just posing for the camera. She started to ask for a bow every day. she will grab my hand and drag me to the bows and say "bow, bow, bow" till I get her one.

 Calvi giving Max a ride on his bike and Jodi riding her bike. She likes to ride bikes and points them out when she sees them. She wants to be just like her brother.

 Laying out in the sun that finally decided to show up.

 We took the kids to the river to throw rocks in and just got on an adventure. We sat by the river to take a break and calvi just ran back to the car to get this train book that he got from the library and has not been able to put down since he got it. We decided that jodi is our adventurous one cause she was getting into the water and loving the adventure while Calvi just wanted to read his train book.  It is so funny the different personalities they have.

Here is what Calvi wore to church today. He wanted to wear matching ties with his dad and so he picked out 2 blue ties. Also if you look close at his eye he got a black eye in nursery today. He told me that his friend was being superman and he was being batman and they were flying around and somehow he fell and bonked his head on the garbage can.  Silly guy he just will look tough for a few days. We are so excited for the warm weather to hopefully be here and STAY! Many more adventures to come!
