The 411 on Calvin

So Calvin is growing up so fast I cant even believe it. He is 3 months now and there are a few things we have figured out about our little guy. Here are a few pictures to show what we have learned. Here is Calvin just snoozin away in his car seat. we have found that when Calvi gets tired he starts to get restless and the way to instantly calm him down is put something over his eyes. Anything works blanket, burp-cloth, cloths, really whatever is handy at the time.
It is really amazing how fast he just calms down when his eyes are covered. It really is a wonderful thing we have discover. Next in these pictures you will notice a silly little yellow duck, he loves his Mr. Duck!! It is just a silly duck that when you pull the handle it rattles and i clip it to everything and he just smiles and laughs like crazy at it. Mr. Duck can entertain for hours!!
Here is just an example of how really anything works here he has his pj on his head and he is fast asleep.
We have this little play mat that he loves. Whenever he gets fussy Tyler says send him to the farm, and this is what we he is talking about. there is this little barn with a cow that moves and it plays music (which we both have memorized by now) he LOVES it. He is just laying there in the barn with his Mr. Duck and his eyes covered fast asleep what a life!!!
So there are a few things about our little Calvi, eyes covered, Mr. Duck and the farm barn. And what the heck happened here, where did my little 5 1/2 lb baby go!!! What a little chub we just Love him!!!

A day at the ZOO!!!

Yeah for the zoo. Jill and Kyle called up on Saturday morning and wanted to go to the Idaho Falls zoo. Brooke, Clara, Calvin and I all went on down to meet them. I was impressed. For a zoo in eastern Idaho it was awesome! I would totally go again it was so much fun! here is calvin he just hung out like this the whole time he loved it.
Here is us girls (now i cant say that because Calvin) hangin out in the kids petting zoo section. they had toys and stuff clara liked crawling all over them!
Here is kyle, Jill clara and Brooke all looking at these huge birds we saw so many animals i dont know what they were. There was lots of animals at this zoo, tigers, lions, flamingos, birds, zebras, penguins, otters all kinds of fun stuff. it took us a good 2 hours to go through the whole thing. it was really fun.
This silly little goat kept sticking his tongue out through the gate and he almost licked calvin! It was a great day at the zoo!!

Just Another Day

So it is still a little chilly outside so we have been still hangin out inside for a lot of the time. Calvin has sure turned into a happy little guy it is so fun to just have him lay next to me and we just talk laugh and wiggle! It is so much fun to hang out together, i love every minute of it!
Our newest excitement is this sweet ride! Tylers parents had this bike tailor in their garage so we got it down and hooked it up and Calvin La La LOVES it!! We put him in it the first time and you could not measure the smile on his face it was so big!! We have really only been able to ride it around for 2 days since we got it and we have a great time!
Here is Calvin just hangin out in his car seat in the back yard. I have been working on getting our back patio just the way i want it and it was a nice day and he just sat there talking to me in his cute little baseball cap!
Here we are with tylers mom and bro. We took Calvin for a walk around the neighborhood and he loved it just talking and giggling along the whole way. He has been becoming more vocal the last couple weeks and it makes me so happy, but sad at the same time cause he is growing up so fast!

Calvins Blessing Day!

So today was our little mans big day! he was so cute! he had a cute little tux that his Gma Rainsdon got him and we had to do some taking in! Calvin has been eating so much the last two weeks so he did good to fit in his outfit. everything fit ok accept his suit coat. so he wore the shirt, vest and bow tie.
Here is our little family, Calvin was such a good boy and let everyone hold him.
Here is my family the Rainsdons.
Here is Tylers family the Flints and...
the Stuarts.
Here are a few of our friends that came to the lunch, the Congers and Dustin. We had breakfast for lunch with waffles, pancakes, sausage, fruit, juice! it was great. It was so nice to have everyone there to support our little calvin! thanks to all of you who were able to comedown and spend the weekend with us. And for those who woke up so early to come to our church at 8:30 to be there for the blessing. We are so lucky to have such a wonderful family and friends who support and love us! thanks!!!!!

What the Heck!

So here is an April shower for ya!! On Monday I went for a walk with my jacket scarf and gloves, by the time i got to my sisters house all I had on was my t shirt! It was such a nice day!! So then on Tuesday this is what happened! I wish spring was here, just the other day there was no trace of snow, now today it is warm again so hopefully by the end of the day it will all be gone!! i just dont get the weather!!
Here is my little guy! This morning he woke up early so we came downstairs to hang out while dad finished sleeping. Tyler has been really sick this last few days, so hopefully he is getting better!
So I finally took pictures of Calvins Monster room! I was so excited when I found what I wanted to put in his room. My mom found this cute fabric for me to make a blanket and crib sheet. I took the little monsters out of the design and made the stuff for the wall. It was so much fun I love how it turned out!
I really love the colors in his room, they are so bright and fun!!
There is my rocking love seat I found at DI for 30 bucks!! I am very happy with how the room came together!

Easter Weekend 2010

This last weekend we went to Twin Falls. We left Friday morning and that night my family and Tylers family put together an awesome baby shower for Calvin. It was so much fun, there was lots of family and friends who came. My family is so blessed to have so many people come and celebrate with us. We got such wonderful gifts Calvin is so spoiled!! Thank to everyone who helped out with it and came to party with us, it was a lot of fun!!!
Here is Calvin with his dad and cousin Kai! Kai really wanted to hold him and he said he is heavy!! it was so funny, he likes calvin it is so cute he talks to him in this little high pitched voice like he hears everyone else do when they talk to a baby!
We spent the night Gam and Gpa Flints house. On Saturday we had a really good Easter dinner and we colored Easter eggs. Calvin even made one and as you can see it wore him right out!
Gma Flint wanted to take a pict of her grandbabies and so we put calvin in an Easter basket and Kai was holding the handle of the basket. We also took picts of Kai giving him kisses it was so cute but the picts i had you couldn't see Kai's cute little face very well. Kids are so funny!
On Sunday we hung out at Gma and Gpa Rainsdons house and sorry dad i couldn't help but post this one it was so cute! Here is proud Grandpa with his little grand-kids. He spent the last week building 2 tire swings, a big one out of a regular tire and then a small one out of a 4 wheeler tire to put on the swing set! They are so so cute!! My parents also put together a really fun Easter egg hunt we got lots of candy and other fun toys! Thanks! We had a really great weekend hangin out with all of our family and friends, it is so nice that we are able to live so close so we can take fun weekend trips to visit.

Cosmetic Surgery

So here I am do you see that thing on my neck? You have probably noticed it before well it is no longer there I had that poor thing cut off last week, I would put up after picts but right now it doesn't look to hot. The doctor asked why I wanted it gone and I said kids mostly kids, he just laughed. It is true though my niece Clara just loves that thing she would pull on it and pick at it it was so weird and in primary to have all the kids say what is that thing on your neck?!! so I decided it was time for it to go before calvin got older and made friends with it. So my cosmetic surgery was cutting off that skin tag as the doctor said.
Here are more picts of my boys Calvin is jsut so stinkin cute when he sleeps i cant help myself. He probably had a million picts of him sleeping he is growing up so fast and really chunkin out!
He has also been having gas problems lately. (I am referring to Calvin not Tyler) He gets so mad and screams and then he is fine. I feel so bad because this is really the only time he ever gets really mad or cries! So this is his favorite position right next to dad, Tyler will hold him tight and he will just fall asleep it is so cute!
