Camping

We have been camping 2 times this summer. The first time we went to twin bridges. It was really fun Calvi even did really well. His favorite thing to do when we are camping it to sit and drive dads truck. He LOVES his dads truck and he will just sit in there and have a blast.
Here he is helping his dad start a fire. He is sometimes a little to helpful.
The second camping trip was to Jackson and the Teton National Forest. We spent the night in a camp ground right out side of Jackson, it was really pretty. The next day we went driving around the park. We stopped to see the lakes along the way.
Here are the boys doing what calvin loves to do throw rocks in the water.
Calvin loved the stuffed animals. He went crazy when he saw the elk in the visitors center he just kept pointing at them like do you see this guys!
Here are the boys by the famous antler arches in Jackson. It was so hot and we had a lot of fun. We have been having fun with calvin showing him all the fun things there are to do in this world. It is so much fun to follow him around and watch him learn and discover new things.

Finally Summer

So it is finally summer here in Rexburg. We have loved being outside as much as possible. I thought this was just a cute pict of calvi. As for the baby #2 ITS A GIRL! We are so excited to have one of each and things are going well.
Here is calvi rockin his swim suit. He has been wearing a them a lot lately. We love to go to the swim park or just run through the sprinklers in the yard.
Uncle Tysen has also been out of school for the summer and the boys have been having fun wrestling and hangin out together.
Aunt Cori came over and played outside it was so much fun. Calvi is not wearing pants cause he sat in the pool and they got soaked. It is much more fun to hang out in a diaper anyway.
And what is better than eating ice cream with cousins. Calvi loved his ice cream not so much the cone. We love the summer!!

Sunday drive

It was so nice this weekend we were able to get out of the car on our Sunday drive. We went to this place we have gone camping before and walked around. We found that calvi loves to throw rocks in the river. We stayed while calvi threw a bunch of rocks in the river he was laughing and having a great time.
Here he is he fell down and got his hands dirty. He has been doing this thing where when he gets his hands dirty he will show me and want me to wipe them off. What a goofy kid!
We were close to the sand dunes and so we let Calvi play in a huge sandbox. He just laughed as he ran around on the hills. He would sit and bury himself in the sand.

First nice Saturday

This summer ty and i have a project. There is a neighbor who has a garden spot but is to old to do anything with it so we are planting a garden there. It has been really hard to get things together to get things going, but i am happy to say that now it is all planted and hopefully ready to grow some stuff.
We had a lot of family visit this weekend. My little brother went through the temple in Idaho falls. It was so wonderful to have all the family there in the temple together. Here is the guys hard at work at the garden. Tyler got it all tilled.
Here is Calvi reading his favorite book to Uncle andy.
Here we are at the water park the twin cousins. Calvi had so much fun at the water park till he got caught under some water. It didn't take him long to get back out and play.
Here is Clara and Andy she kept asking him "ride on the horses Uncle andy?" How could you say no to that.
Calvi went for a ride with his gma and gpa. He kept wandering over to the carousel and had such a fun time riding it with all his cousins.
Here he is with Clara going back to play in the water.
Calvi got so tired he just crashed in the park and took a nap for a little while.
Here is clara again with Andy. We had such a great time with all the family in the wonderful sunny weather.

May

So we finally started to have a few days of warm weather and we are enjoying it for sure! A few weeks ago Ty found out he had a meeting in Chicago for a week. Iwas not going to stay at home alone for a whole week, so i called my mom and said that i would take a trip to Oregon to visit my grandparents. It was 10 hrs both ways but it was worth it! Ty dropped us off at my parents house and then he went east and we went west.
Here are my wonderful grandparents. We had such a great time with them having a fun relaxing visit.
Here is calvi reading books with Gma.
They have a jacuzzi tub and calvi LOVED it he had fun just playing in all the crazy bubbles.
This is what calvi spent most of his time doing, going around and around my gmas garden, he loved it rain or shine!
He also liked to play on the bed. He was such a great boy on the whole trip it was great. He is such a wonderful boy. then ty came to pick us up and calvi missed him and has been attached to him ever since.
We went to cousin Kais birthday party at Gerties in Twin and here is calvi riding one of the little rides. He thought they were pretty fun. He was so worn out by the end of the week we all just crashed when we got home.
Here is calvi the next day all ready for church. since it has been getting warmer outside we have been going for a walk before church to get all the wiggles.

Babies

So here are the Rainsdon cousins. Jill came over and the kids loved their new cousin. We had fun hanging out and going swimming.
Here is Calvi riding a new little calvi size saddle his Gma and Gpa got. We put it on the dog to try it out. What a great fit!
Here is Calvi just playing in the grass it is what he does best! This is a long time coming it is finally getting to be tolerable to be outside.
PS- Speaking of babies we have baby #2 coming November 1st! We are so excited!

Easter and running

In the last month calvi has really learned to walk. One day he just figured it out and has been walking well running ever since then. I love that he can walk it is so nice that he can go where he needs to and it also entertains him just walking around.
We spent Easter in Twin with our families. Here is Calvi and Ty taking a ride on the tractor. Calvin LOVES tractors, and trucks so going to Twin it a real treat for him.
Here we are at Gma and Gpa Flints decorating Easter eggs. That is about as far as he got.
Tys aunt brought 2 little pug puppies and Calvi was in heaven. The little guys would run around him and lick him and tackle him, he loved it. Here he is with his cousin Laynie and the dogs on the easter egg hunt.
Here is Calvi and ty on the tire swing at Gma and Gpa Rainsdons house. This guy likes to be outside.
He had such a great weekend he was so tired on the way home this is what happened. It was so much fun to see all our family. We had a great time.
