Cousin time in Boise

Potato harvest is in full swing over in Rexburg, and that means the kids get out of school. So, Mandy and her kids came to visit us! It was SO. MUCH. FUN! They came on Sunday and stayed until Wednesday morning. It was so perfect because all the kids in Boise were still in school. So everywhere we went, we pretty much had the place to our self. It was 3 days of non stop playing, laughing, dress ups, eating, shopping, and more laughing. Thank you guys for coming! We are already excited for a repeat next year!

Starting off the festivities at Linder farms! It was raining when we got there and we almost left. Im so glad we didn't because the rain stopped and we were the only people there. It was awesome!!
Before we went, we made a stop at wal-mart and found some rain boots. We would not have survived without them. It was the best purchase we ever made. They were perfect and saved our lives!!

The kids favorite part was the corn pit. They all loved it!

These tractor bikes were hilarious! and a serious leg workout

Tuesday morning we went to jump time. Another huge success- because we were basically the only people there!! It was so fun!

Tuesday night we made "haunted houses" and watched wizard of OZ. Any excuse to eat a lot of candy :)

Jett

And just like that, he is one :(
 
- 22lbs 8 oz (65%)
-30 inches long (48%)
- head -18 inches (54%)
-happiest, most smiley baby. If you smile at him, he will smile back
- He is so ticklish. And has the cutest laugh.
-He finally sleeps though the night! He wakes up every once and awhile and needs his binki, but that is nothing compared to what it use to be.
- we are always calling him animal names. Here are a few of our favorites:
    *bear cub- because he is so cute and cuddly, but strong and solid/heavy
    * puppy- he crawls around following avy like a little pup
    *Shark boy- because he approaches everything with a open mouth trying to bite. And if he bites you, you  will cry...
   *monkey- He is such a good climber! Its getting dangerous
- Not totally walking yet, but so close. He can take 5 or 6 steps. He is such a fast little crawler so he doesn't need to walk!
- He can say mama and dada so good! I cant translate the rest of his language yet, but he is sure talking all the time. And he knows how to tell us what he wants
-He likes his binki for bed time but not during the day. awesome!
-He is the best eater! He loves everything I put in his mouth.
- He will throw his head back when he is having a fit. Its a little dangerous sometimes because he has a big head!
- He loves Avy and thinks she is so funny. They are pretty good at entertaining each other
- He Loves going outside. And will cry at the door ( like a puppy) to go out
- Now has 4 top and 2 bottom teeth.
-Has the most beautiful blue eyes you will ever see
- Loves bath time SO much!
- He is pretty attached to me and chris. Its hard to get him to go to anyone else
- Still likes to pull my hair and pinch my face. Good thing he is so dang cute...
- one nap a day
-he is just full of happiness, smiles and love. He has made our lives better in every way. We love this little guy so much!!!


These pictures were taken on his birthday
