Kirin's Visit

My Nephew Kirin came to stay with my mom for the week and my mom ended up having to wokr most of it. So he got to hang out with the Jones gang for most of the time. I felt bad I wasn't very entertaining. He is pretty quite so I had to really push to get some of his personality to come out. We decided that it would be fun to take him up to Mesa Falls. He acted like he really enjoyed it, we kind of got in a water fight and I don't think he has ever seen anything like those falls, they are huge! He doesn't like to have his picture taken and I was taking alot. I think he was about to hurt me! So most of the pictures that I actually did get were of his back!
My Dad's side of the family were all going camping up at Warm River for the week and so we decided to take him up with us. He had a good time just floating down the river. I don't think he has ever done that so I think it was quite the adventure for him!
He also has never feed a baby, so one night I decided I would test him out. I let him feed Eyan a bottle! He was terrified you could see it plainly on his face! Poor kid. He was so stiff Eyan could hardly eat! He eventually calmed down a bit but then it came time to burp him and I decided to give the poor kid a break. The next day I let him hold him and he was ok with it but then Eyan spit up on him and then he would hold him again! Poor kid!
Overall we had a great time and we hope that he did too! We can't wait to spend more time with him in the future!

Memories of me...

My friend had this on her blog and I thought it was really cute and fun!
Here are the directions:
1. As a comment on my blog, post one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or alot, anything you remember.
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you.

Pioneer Day!!

So I guess in St. Anthony Pioneer Day is HUGE!! They had a play going all week long, Rodeos and Parades! We started the week with the Rodeo. Carmen, my Mom, Cahlin, Eyan and I all ventured out to see the grande event! Cahlin had a GREAT time! He loved playing the dirt. Someone left a pop on the bench and so he dumped it out and started to make a mud pie. I didn't really care he was all ready dirty! Then he started to put dirt down this little girls shirt. She was SOOO upset! I felt horrible! So the dirt games had to stop. He decided that it would be fun to climb under the bleachers. So I made him sit on my lap for the rest of the Rodeo. He wasn't very happy about it and he was a little bit crazy from lack of sleep. I pretty much did not have a very enjoyable time! By the end of the night I swore I would never take him to another Rodeo.

So the next night I packed him up and.... took him to the Rodeo!! :) Not even kidding! I was a brave soul. I had a plan though. He was so much better and I was so glad that we took him. He got to go out and chase a calf around the arena to see if he could get the money tied to his tail. He had fun but he was pretty mad that he got dirt in his shoes. He stopped and asked the clown to help him clean his shoes. We missed Kevin pretty badly that night I knew that he would really want to be there. But I took comfort in knowing that if he could have been here he would have been on the fence cheering Cahlin just as hard as I was.
Early in the morning there was a parade. I have never seen such awesome floats. They were beautiful and they were all centered around the church!Cahlin got a ton of candy it was crazy. He would wave at the people and they would throw him candy and then he would yell Thank you and they would throw more!
I still can't load any picutres but I will the second that I can!

Robert's Wedding

It is final! He is married! Their wedding was so beautiful. The Sealer was amazing. It was such a great experience to be in the Temple with them and all of our family. Robert and Sabrina only had 3 days to be together before Sabrina went to Eurpoe on a school trip. Needless to say he has been very sad and depressed. He swears he will never let her go anywhere without him again. She won't be back until August 12! Almost a whole month apart! Sad!! :(
Rober just took a job with the Guard and is moving to Alaska tomorrow. So we probably won't get to see them for a long while. Kevin has yet to meet Sabrina! But we hope that their journeys are great and they come back to us again someday!

Day with Grandpa

My boys, Carmen and my mom decided to go out to my Grandpa's farm and see the new animals! Cahlin was very excited to see the horses and cows. Grandpa had a brand new colt and it was so cute! Cahlin wanted to ride it but he settled for the bigger horse. I was really suprised, I thought that he would be scared once we got there but he wasn't! He climbed right on and was very excited. ( He has been asking to ride Carmen's dogs.) :) Then we decided to go see the calf. He was kind of far out so Grandpa decided to take Cahlin on the tractor with him. Cahlin was not having that! He was brave as a lion for the horse and he was terrified of the tractor! The only way he would ride on it was if I hung off the side with him! But eventually he found some courage and he went out with Grandpa on his own. We had such a fun time seeing the animals and Grandpa and Grandma. We can't wait to make a habit of coming over for visits! This colt was born on the 4th of July!
Cahlin was dieing to ride a horse. He kept saying that this was the daddy horse.
Melt my heart!!
Cahlin and Grandpa went on the tractor into this field to find the baby calf that was just recently born.
I was hanging on the other side of the tractor because Cahlin was to afraid to ride by himself. It was great fun but after awhile I had to jump off because my arms were SCREAMING!

Random

I decided that I was still going to post things even though I wasn't with Kevin. This way I can let him know the fun things that his kids and I do during our time without him. We miss daddy so much and we hope that this will help him feel closer to us!

We also had a little photo shoot for Eyan and Cahlin. They look so cute! It is amazing how they both change so much every month!

Home at Last!

On Tuesday of this week we ventured out on a 4 1/2 hour plane ride and a 5 1/2 hour car ride home. We were so excited to be home in Idaho! The boys did great on the plane ride. Cahlin was given a set of wings and he was very excited so he just kept on flying his plane around on his seat. When we took off he kept saying " We're going to fall. We're going to fall!" Eyan did great as well, I don't think he cried at all! He did however spit up all over me and blow out of his diaper on me! I guess that's what goes with being a mom!
We are staying at my sisters house. She has 2 dogs and they terrified Cahlin at first but now he absolutely loves them! She also has a four wheeler and he has never liked it. We decided that we would take him on a short ride around the block everyday so that he could get used to it! He somewhat likes it now. It's still not his favorite thing in the world to do but he tolerates it! I can't get pictures to load on my grandma's computer so we will have to wait for a little bit to get the pictures up and going! Sorry!
