A new toy

Calvin got a space ship (don't tell him it's really just a walker)! He loves it and so do his parents! Calvin is a very busy boy these days. He crawls (actually on his hands and knees now) everywhere and is really quick. He also pulls himself up on everything he possibly can. Most mornings, he is standing up in his crib just talking (or yelling to get retrieved). This is a really fun age, but needless to say, we enjoy it when Calvin flys in his space ship so we know what he's getting into. He's also sprouted four new teeth in the past few weeks, bringing the grand total to six. We learned yesterday that they actually sell 0-12 month toothbrushes, so Calvin got one of those, too. Russell was thrilled that he chose the blue one with ducks over the pink "My Little Pony" model.

Close Cousins


All five of these cute boys on the Perkins side were born within one year - Max, Joshua, Calvin, Alex & Logan. This picture is a couple months old, but it wasn't as easy to take as it looks, so I thought I would share it. Thanks to aunt Lyndy, the photographer!

Cabin Trip

Jamie and Rich invited us to visit their cabin in the Uintas the first week of August. It was beautiful and a great time to relax and spend time with family. We missed Heather, Ephraim, & Max this time, but not the snow and broken water pipes that we had when we all went last year!


Russell brought his marshmallow shooter, which of course was a hit with Sam, Jacob, Ethan & Jonah.
Count them...4 baby backpacks. Those boys had the best seats for the hike!

Fishing at Pass Lake on the way home (no, we still haven't caught anything, but it was fun)!


Thanks so much to Lyndy for taking snapshots! As usual, we forgot our camera.

A good laugh

Calvin often thinks the weirdest things are really funny. Here's an example from the dinner table...
