Whats been up

This is what we have been up to the last week! All smiles most of the time, the rest of the time Calvi has been a super sleeper!! no joke he sleeps all the time! He is just a growin boy i guess.
Here is Calvi and ty out watching the cars in the front yard. Calvin could do this all day, he is an outside kind of guy!
And this is just silly, the other day this is how i found my little boy. I put him in this chair cause he was kinda whinny then the next thing i know he was trying to get out! He looked up at me like hey mom just hangin out!
Something new, the other day i put calvi in his highchair and i looked over and he had a bink in his mouth. Not just any bink but his cousin Claras bink!! he has totally confiscated it and he sucks on it all the time. Family germs i guess?!
And last the other day i made these little socks so give me your opinion to girly or is this ok? I have seen lots of babies with them and i think they are so so cute but are they ok for little boys? Tyler thinks they are ok but he doesn't usually ask questions when it comes to dressing him unless it is flowery pink.

Yes we went to Athol Idaho

This last week we spent in Athol Idaho for a family reunion on my moms side of the family. I thought about it and i have not been to a reunion on that side for like 10 years!! It was a lot of fun hangin out with all the family. It was an 8 hour drive there and back and the kids did great on the trip! This is what calvin looked like for the big family pictures, he slept through them all!
We stayed at this huge house it was super nice and really awesome! The weather was nice the whole time we went for a little hike, played in water, went to the Spokane temple. Here we are outside with our potato car for the potato car race we had. We didn't do do hot but i had a cool car!
Jill taught me how to jet-ski. It was super fun, we had an awesome time swimming at the lake. Calvin just LOVES water! he gets so excited when he sees water his legs start a kickin and he just gets all excited! it is so cute!
He loves to chew on stuff, here he is eating some watermelon. No he didnt eat it all i did and he ate the leftovers and loved it. it is so cute how it just drips down his tubby belly, ha ha!

Here is calvin just sitin on the beach lovin life! We missed Tyler on this trip, he was working but we love him for all the hard work he does for us! We had a great week and now are adjusting to being home again!

Fun in the SUN!

Yesterday we spent the afternoon with uncle Tysen and Grandma and Grandpa. We played and went swimming it was so fun. Here is Tysen pulling Calvi around the house while we were getting ready to go swim! It was so funny to watch calvin just hangin out in the back of his raft just lovin Tysen pulling him.
Today we went to Rigby lake with jill and kyle, brooke, domino and clara it was so much fun as you can see. Clara had more fun playing in the sand/ mud than in the water!
Tyler had this great idea to put the stroler in the water and have calvi just sit in the water. He LOVED it! it was so funny calvin would just kick around and watch everyone.
I have this huge huge ball that we were throwing around it was really fun, Clara couldnt even really play with it! We had a great time and on the way home we got an ice cream cone yum!!

Last of Trip

So here we are a cute family pict! Those dont happen to often so i love every one!
We hiked to the dixie rock and it was a super sweet lookout! Tyler wished he didnt have such a bum leg, or he would have been all over climbing those red rocks.
Here we are just headed back it was i nice little hike, we could drive up most of the way so not to much work for such a great view!
On the way back home we stopped to hang out with Uncle Andy! He took us out to lunch at a super great sandwich place we LOVED it! Thanks Andy, Calvin also thought he was pretty cool!
And her is little Clara, this is not part of our trip but she is just so silly, crazy hair and all! I love her big eyes just lookin at me.

More on our trip!

We went skim boarding on a river. It was really fun and this was calvins favorite spot to go swim cause it was super shallow! He just sat in the water and kicked away! he LOVED it!
On Sunday we went to tour Brigham Young's winter home. It is really neat to look at all the old stuff that was there.
We also went to the St. George temple and to the visitors center. There was a lot of fun stuff to look at there and it is cool how they built things back then.
Here we all are in front of the temple. Weird that we were all wearing yellow shirts! ha ha!!
And yes there were palm trees we had to have a picture! I wish palm trees grew everywhere, they are so awesome, probably because i didn't grow up by them!

St. George Vacation

Here is our little guy hangin out in a pool. This last weekend we went to St. George Ut. to hang out with some of our friends Alisha and Braedon. It was so much fun and so so so hot! like 110!! crazy compared to what we are use to here in Idaho with highs in the 80!
Here is Calvi he is so tubby! He is growing so fast! Calvin loved swimming we went a few times cause it was perfect weather for it!
Here we are at Zions National Park! It was really fun to ride up through the canyon on the shuttle, we stopped a few spots along the way to see the sights! I loved the red rock , new plants and other stuff we dont see here in Idaho.
Here we are at the Weeping rock! It was really awesome cause there was water dripping out of the rock, it was like it was raining under the rock. This was one of the many cool things we saw there. I would love to go back and do some more hikes and explore it more!
Here is Alisha hangin out with Calvin. We had so much fun being with the Cooks! Thanks so much! There are more picts they will come soon i can only do so much blogging in 1 day!

Just the Beginning

On Saturday Jill and Kyle came to hang out will all of us. We went to the splash park and here we all are walking back to Brookes! It was such a nice day we had a lot of fun!
