July 2012

 We started off July by taking the kids on a canoe ride at a really fun spot near our house. We had Gma and Gpa and Tysen come along with us it was a lot of fun.

 For the 4th of july we helped out some of our friends with their float in the parade. Here we are all loaded up on the float ready to go. The kids thought it was fun to be in the parade.

 Later that night we found a really cool place to watch fireworks just right by the fair grounds in Rexburg. We got there a little early and calvi played with pops and we had some dinner. It was really fun cause there was not a ton of people. The show started at like 9:30 and it was actually a really good show, we were home by 10 it was so awesome!

 Calvi did ok with the sparklers but not for long he might still be a little young maybe next year.

 We took a few trips to Twin here is me and calvi geting a ride with Gpa in his tractor.

 Calvi is helping Gma water her plants.

 Then after all that we played in the water on the front lawn the kids loved just splashing around.

 So Calvi likes, Loves soda. He is just like his dad.

 We went to a reunion with my mom to cascade lake it was really pretty and we had a lot of fun.

 Here are the kids on the dock right before bed time.

 We also went to another reunion in Buhl we did a lot of fun stuff there. Here we are getting ready to go rafting. Calvin loved it and wanted to go on more bumpies!

 One of Calvis favorite things to do was the slippy slide! He thought he was pretty cool going down with the big kids.

 Here is Ty and calvi on the knee board. Tyler remembers going on it with his dad when he was little and was so excited to be able to take calvi for a ride. Calvi liked it but he would have liked it more if ty hadn't smashed his finger trying to get up. But it was all ok when he got in the boat and gpa gave him a bandaid.

All the fresh air wore jodi out.

 Then the last ride we did was with the tubes and that was calvis favorite part of the trip. You can see he has a huge smile on his face and he kept telling gpa to go faster!! It was so much fun he even got grandpa to go by saying "Hit it grandpa!"

Here we all are on the tube ride all the kids accept jodi she was crying on the dock. We had a really busy July and it is still crazy. We have had a lot of fun with all our family and friends.

We are behind this summer!

We have been really busy this summer. There are so many things that we have done i have been so behind on my blog. My computer being broken doesn't really help either but here are all my picts i have piled up on our random adventures this summer.

Here we are at bear world. We have some friends with a pass and so we got in for a good deal. Calvi loved it hanging out with his friend kate and riding the little rides they have there. He was nervous at first but really ended up liking them when i was sitting right next to him. 

Calvi and Kate at Bear World

Calvi has some monster teeth he loves to wear. He came down one morning and said "I am a monster mommy I am awake!!"He is so silly!

 Tysen has come to hang out with us, calvi always has fun with him. Good thing he has his uncle around to show him how to look cool!

 Here they are camping out in the living room watching a movie and eating grandma popcorn.

 Jodi is a very independent little gal. Here she is feeding herself squash that is the only way she will eat it!

 We have gone to great grandma and grandpas house to play on the see saw, and merry-go-round.

 Here is calvi next to his plants we planted, he put a little nome in with the flowers. He loves the garden and picking peas.

There was an air show at the airport that is right by our house. We watched it form the front yard and colored with chalk. Now when we go out the front door calvi still talkes about watching the airplanes.

 HAPPY FATHERS DAY!! Here are the kids on fathers day. Tyler is such a great dad and we all love him so much. Calvi was showing us his picture for dad.

 Just a couple of cousins playing. It is fun to watch Jodi play with Gus.

 Grandma and Grandpa brought Kai to come hang out one weekend. We took the kids to the zoo and they stopped to hug a penguin and this happened!

 Here is Calvi and Kai in the newspaper! ya it was crazy this guy just came up and asked for their names and wanted to put them in the paper. It was such a cute pic i am so proud!

 We also all went fishing they caught a few fish it was fun to just hang out on the pond it was a really great day.

 Here are a couple of kids hanging out with their dad.

 We also went to St Anthony sandbar. Calvi had fun watching everyone jumping in. We also buried him in the sand.

 We have had a lot of fun at the splash park. Here are the kids having fun in the water. This year calvi finally has been having fun running around. Jodi loves it she wants to just be put down to crawl wherever she can get splashed with water.

 After the water we dry off on the swings.

And I love these pictures cause it proves that even though my kids fight sometimes they do love each other. There are a lot more picts to come but here is an overload for now. In the meantime we will keep having a great time!

These kids are growing up

 Hey here we are just a couple of kids who are growing up! Jodi and calvi have a lot of fun together.

 Here is my big guy ready for church. He likes to pick out a tie or bow tie each sunday.

 Here they are in daddys pickup. We were gathering some wood to make a fire in our back patio. Calvi thinks it is fun to just burn the marshmallows he doesn't really like them cooked but it is something he can put in the fire.

 We have a tummy sleeper! Jodi is usually found sleeping like this in her bed I will go and roll her over and she just rolls back.

 Ok for the big news calvi is trying to use the potty. We have been at this for about a week now and he is pretty good so far. He only really has a hard time going first thing in the morning and then once he remembers he will go all day. Here he is with some pirate undies he picked out and his jar of taffys. He will make himself go potty just to get a taffy!

 Ok for Jodis big news yup here she is just pulling her self up to stuff! I went out of the room today and walked back in to find her like this. She will be 7 months and is already moving at a faster rate than her brother did. He is realizing how fast she is growing we already have fights about "no jodi give it back" or "no jodi move away!"

And here is our happy litte girl. She is usually found with this silly little smile and fuzzy hair. It is just so crazy how fast they are growing up and how different they are. We love them both so much!

family pictures 2012

 We took some family photos. It is super hard to take picts of little kids but we did manage to get a few good ones. I also have a bunch of pictures from the past little while that i needed to catch up on.

 The kids just watching cartoons in the morning. They are so funny together!

 Calvi had some dental work done a few weeks ago and my mom came down to help out. Here is calvi just resting it was nice for my mom to be here cause i got to spend the whole day just taking care of calvi while she took crazy jodi to play with cousins. The kids just love their grandma!

 Tysen came to spend the night and we set up a tent in the living room. They loved it and both boys fell asleep and stayed there all night.

 Just a couple of cousins being silly. They are fun to watch they can talk to each other now and it is fun to hear what they have to talk about.

 Crazy that is snowed this was a while ago but it was the last time it snowed for the year. It was the most awesome snow i have ever seen. It was like styrofoam balls and it was not cold at all, calvi and i just had fun catching it in buckets and eating it. It was really fun and calvi loved it!

 Here is calvi wering daddys jacket. He just looks like a huge brown blob.

Calvi got a kitchen from a friend and he loves it. he got it a few weeks ago and has not stopped playing with it. he got some other stuff from his gma and he is always making us food. He loves it so much he the night we got it he didnt want to go to bed and in the middle of the night i found him downstairs sleeping on the couch by his new kitchen. He is such a goofy guy and very creative and helpful.
