Family Picts

 So while we were in St. George our wonderful friends took these picts of our little family. We got some really cute ones that are now hanging on my wall. (That is pretty good for me to have them all up already!)

 Calvi was really good for the picts he even smiled. This is not is normal smile but his "I am smiling for the camera smile" is still cute.

 Jodi didn't really want to do anything. Like I said in the last post she had a hard weekend. But we still got some cute ones.

 I like this one of ty and I cause we are both really laughing at some silly thing that Braeden said.

 This is really what it was like the whole time just a little crazy.

But it was so nice to have some new family picts that I love and Ty loves cause we didn't make a huge ordeal about it. Ha Ha!  Thanks Breaden and Alisha for the picts we love them!

APRIL

 April started out fun for us. We were able to take a trip to Utah for a few days. Tyler had a conference he needed to go to so while we were there we made a few stops. We were able to go visit Tys grandparents for a couple days. While we were there we took Calvi to a train station. He loved it they had a whole bunch of trains just set up and they were so big!

                                                
He really wanted to ride a train so tyler took him for a ride on the Front Runner. Here he is with his tickets to ride. Grandpa, jodi and I met them a ways down the track to pick them up. He loved it and it was one of his most favorite things about the whole trip.

 I wish I could say the whole trip was this easy, but it wasn't,  Jodi was a little crazy the whole time. After we visited the grandparents we went down south to St. George to visit some of our old friends. We Were so excited to see them and be somewhere where it was nice and warm.

 We were able to go swimming outside this was pretty much the only time jodi was not crying.

 We had fun playing with the kids and visiting with them all though Jodi was just ridiculous the whole time.

 Here is calvi getting a ride with Dylan. We went for a walk to the temple a couple times Calvi loved to climb up the stairs.

 This is one of the only good picts we got of the kids together. Jodi did not like me even looking at or playing with Dylan.

Here we are on calvi's favorite stairs at the temple. 

 Here they all are playing right before we left.

Here we are with the kids. We had such a fun time Calvi will still ask me if we can go back there to visit or if we can move down there. Ty and I would both love to we really like it down there but sadly our little vacation was over and we had to go back home. The next day we got back to Rexburg it snowed. 

 This month also brought changes for everyone. (Well accept us) but tys brother and sister graduated. We had a little party to celebrate all the changes.

 Our neighbors had a little fun run obstacle course around the neighborhood. It was so fun to see all the kids go through all the stations. Here is calvi running across the finish line.

 When tys family was here for graduation we kept all the kids during the ceremony. Calvi and Jodi had a lot of fun playing with their cousins. We ate pizza ......

 Had a camp out... and stayed up really late. We had a great time visiting with all the family while they were here.

 We made Jam. Tys Grandma Flint makes really great strawberry jam and so I made some and the kids try to eat it right out of the jar.

 My kids are pretty cool. Here they are getting ready for a bike ride. It has been nice lately that we have been out and about more.

 Jamen came to hang out for a bit here they are playing trains.

 And playing in the sandbox. Speaking of sand....

 Ty and I took the kids to the sand dunes and they loved it. Calvi packed all his sandbox toys and we were there for a while.

 We thought they would like to play by the water and sand more but when we took them to see the big mountains of sand all they wanted to do was climb up to the top. So we climbed up and down for a long time.

 

Their favorite part was that you could run and jump and you would just land in sand and they rolled all over in it. We had a good time this last month with all of our many adventures. 

And we are off to have more great adventures!

March We are behind!

 So our little jodi is so silly I just love her. I mean look at that face i just cant get enough of this smile!

 The kids have been having fun together. It is really fun to watch them grow up and start to build a relationship.

 Sometimes good and sometimes crazy but it is so awesome to be there to watch moments like this.

 Jodi just loves her dad.

 Jodi had been a big copy cat here she is doing her hair.

 It has been finally ok weather outside we took the kids to the park and since it was jodis real first time (where she would actually remember) calvi took her hand and showed her where to go.

 Jodis hair has finally gotten long enough to put stuff in her hair and she will actually keep it in!

 Max calvis dog is a big part of our family. Here he is playing a song on the piano for us!

 We had a fun time visiting with family for Jamens 2nd birthday/Easter party. We had lots of fun playing with cousins having an easter egg hunt and pinita with way to much candy and treats!

 The kids got worn out and so we had a little break quiet time and all the kids piled around Gpa.

 Max needed to put his shoe on to go outside to play in the snow!

 We went to the duck pond with the cousins and all the kids wanted to do was throw rocks in the water. As you can see they had to be right next to the water to do it.

 We went to the city Easter egg hunt at the park. We got quite a few eggs and it was pretty awesome to see a million kids flood the field to get eggs.

Here are the kids Easter Morning it was still pretty cold outside but sunny. We have been busy doing so many fun things I will have to keep going through pictures to get caught up but enjoy for now! 

February Birthdays and Other Stuff

 This Month started out with Calvis 3rd birthday! Where did the time go?! He is such a fun little guy and was so excited for his birthday. He is super in love with trains as I have prob said that before.  He was way excited to get some new trains for his birthday. Here we all are in the morning opening some presents and having birthday waffels. He also kept telling everyone his was 7 while he held up 5 fingers. We will have to work on the whole 3 thing.

 We had a little party for calvi with dinner and swimming with some friends and family. He wanted nachos and his batman cake. He really likes batman and so he was way excited about his cake. Yes I am pretty proud of it cause I made it.

 Jodi really liked the cake to. We had such a fun evening with everyone. We got home that night and calvi walked in the door and said "man that was the funnest birthday ever!"  That made me so happy and glad I went through all the work for my awesome little guy.

Calvi was so excited about all the stuff he got for his birthday he hauled it around all day. It was pretty funny he actually played equally with all the stuff. 

 Here is Tysen helping calvi read his birthday card.

 We had more family come in to town to visit for his birthday that weekend and he was really excited about more cake. He was kinda funny cause he didn't want anyone to sing or say happy birthday cause "it was already my birthday!" so we just had a party NOT a birthday party.

 Calvi is really good with his trains he builds all kinds of crazy tracks it is really neat to watch him. He could play with them all day. My sister asked him what is something that your mom says to you a lot? He thought and said "pick up your trains". That is probably right.

 Little jodi bugs. 

 We have been sick off and on all month and one sunday we were all super sick and didn't go to church. The next day calvi came downstairs dressed like this in his church cloths and said "mom I am going to my meeting. I will go to save you a seat ok mom, and you come to church ok." It was pretty funny and he was super mad when I said we missed church cause we were sick and he told me he was not sick and he was going to church. At lest I guess I have taught him well.

 Calvi has gotten really good at puzzles. Here he is with his mickey mouse puzzle he did.

 One day I found jodi in the dryer and calvi wanted to jump on in to. They thought they were so funny.

For Valentines day we had heart pizzas and Jello. Calvi thought it was super awesome. 

 We had some family come to visit it was fun to hang out with Gma and Gpa Stuart.

 It is fun when the kids actually get along and have fun together. This is one of those times.

 There are a ton of birthdays in our family in February. Here is calvi with Tysen and calvi hangin out at a birthday party.

 It has still been snowing and so we took advantage of it. After work one day calvi and Ty went and make a sweet snow slide in our back patio. We still use it, the kids will be so sad when it all melts. Calvi is so sweet he said "dad made a snow slide with me cause he loves me."

Jodi is so nice she has taken intrest in dolls. Here she is with her baby that I am sure I have wrapped up in a blanket a 100 times a day! But she is being so sweet to them it is fun to see her like girly things.

And here is Jodi with her little piggies. Her hair is growing and getting pretty long. The kids have had so much fun and way to many birthday parties this month. We wont know what to do next month when we are not having a party every other day! Thanks to all the family and friends we have been with or who have come to visit us this last month it has been so fun.
