Flint Family Reunion

A few weeks ago we had a Flint family reunion by Yellowstone. The evening before we left we had all of tylers family at the house. It was so much fun to have everyone there. The kids had fun playing with all the toys as you can see.
We headed out the next day to this Hebgen lake. It was so pretty there. Here is Calvi and tyler riding in the boat around the lake calvi thought it was pretty cool.
One day we went to Yellowstone. Here we are by some waterfall for a family pic.
We saw old faithful calvi only thought it was neat for a minute then he was done. It was a pretty hot day.
Here is tyler walking calvin. We do have a little backpack leash thing but we left it in the truck. Calvi is so independent at the wrong times so we had to keep him close somehow, that is why we used tys belt. We did get some funny looks but you do what you have to sometimes.
The last day we were there we went to cliff lake it is such a pretty lake. Calvi had fun sitting on the shore throwing rocks in the water. We were only able to stay for 3 days cause tyler got super sick so we went home early. It was a lot of fun to go camping and hang out with the family for a few days.

Baby Gus

My sister Brooke had her baby boy August Hyrum Domino (Gus). He was born on July 18th. He was so little it was crazy to think of how calvi was ever that little. Gus is such a cute little guy and i am so excited he is here.
My mom and sister came down to take care of him and Clara. Here they are with all the Rainsdon grand kids. We were at the hospital and calvi and clara needed some extra entertainment, that is why they are suckin on suckers.
We had fun busy week hangin out with Jill and Jamen for a few days and then my mom was there for a while. We had fun going on walks and hangin out in the park with Gma.
She even brought a candy necklace that calvi loved. He was so funny eating it, it was always hangin out of his mouth.
We took the kids to the pioneer day parade in St. Anthony. It was even better than the 4th of july one. We got TONS of candy. The kids did really well again they would not get off the blanket and so my mom and i would go out and pick up the candy. We had a really fun week.

A trip to the Zoo

We took a weekend trip to Twin so the boys could go boat riding. Here is calvi waiting on the dock to go out. He had a long hot day and ended up just falling asleep on the boat. Tyler did get to go out on the water and had a fun time.
Here is calvi sippin on a fresca playing in the pool on a hot summer day.
Tyler missed out on our trip to the Idaho Falls Zoo last summer and has been wanting to go, so we took Gma and tysen to go see the animals.
We had a really great time even though it was super hot!!
Here is tysen and calvi just taking a break in a chicken nest.
This is how calvi spent most of his time at the zoo. He actually did really well and didnt try to run off. He loved just walking around and seeing all the animals.

4th of July

So i know these picts are a little late. Ok like super late, but i still wanted to share these pictures. Here is Calvi and Clara waiting for the Rexburg 4th of July parade. They did really good through the whole thing and loved it.
Here is our family. Calvi did really good he just sat on the blanket the whole time and stared at everything passing by. He didn't even try to run out in the road to get candy.
Later that afternoon we went to Idaho Falls to hang out with our friends. Here we are playing with sparklers.
Here is where tyler was trying to help calvi do snaps or pops whatever you call them. He didn't really get it, he couldn't throw them hard enough. He wasn't so sure about the real fireworks we did, he didn't really like the loud noise.

We has a really great 4th of July with all our family and friends. Here is calvi just chillin in the back patio just eating lunch. Happy summer!

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.
