Jodi is 1!!!

 Here is calvi on one of out adventures throwing rocks in the river.

 So Jodi just turned 1, I cant believe how crazy fast the time has gone by.  We had a lot of fun this last couple weeks. My mom came down the day before her birthday and the kids had a lot of fun playing with her. Here we are at the park riding bikes and going on a walk.

 Jodi is such a fun little girl to have in our lives she has a very fun personality. As she is getting older the little girl is coming out in her. She loves to dress up in necklaces and bracelets and play with babies and puppies. She is also very dramatic but so loving and smiley.

 She does love puppies so here she is with her puppy cake she thought it was pretty fun. She likes the cake but was not sure how she liked everyone looking at her and singing. She actually started to cry out of embarrassment or fright I dont know.  It didn't last long she got to eat cake so everything was happy again.

 She did like the cake she loves the sweets!

 We had fun with all the family and friends who were able to come. That Saturday we had everyone come and eat lunch and go swimming. Here are all the kids as soon as we got to the clubhouse the kids ran right to the pool door and wanted to go in.

 Eating lunch!

 Here is dad with the kids I can not get over how silly calvi is. He is wearing his "ee-bow-als"(overals) and his ridiculous juice mustache! He thought it was pretty cool so we just let it happen. Jodi was opening a present we found she is pretty good at that.

 Here is her cake on saturday, the boys couldn't wait to get some cake!

 I just thought this was such a cute little pict of her in her swimming suit just waiting to get in.

 And yes this is a puppy I am laying by. My sis got a puppy and brought it down so we had 5 kids and a puppy running around my house it was crazy but fun. Archie was such a great dog he was good with the kids and he was so cute and cuddly. Thanks to all the family and friends that helped celebrate Jodis big day we had a lot of fun.

 So I need to throw calvi in this post, this last Saturday the primary in our ward got to go up to the temple to walk around and go in the waiting room. I had to go so I decided to take calvi with me. He was way excited he is always asking to go into the temple. As calvi put it, it was awesome to get to put his church cloths on and go with mom to the temple. It was such a great experience for me to be able to take him there. I am so grateful for my family and it is such a blessing to be able to know that I can be with them forever and that my 2 wonderful kids can be with ty and I forever. There is such a wonderful feeling that comes from going to the temple even, if it is just as simple as walking around with a little boy. I am so thankful to have temples in our lives.

Here is calvi just sitting on the steps at the temple. That was one of his favorite things walking up and down all the stairs. He also liked the corner stone with the gold numbers and letters.
