Calvin tag

My friend Shandra tagged me awhile ago, so here's five things about my boy:

1. Calvin eats practically anything. His current favorites include any fruit, pasta, green beans, eggs and waffles. The only foods he's ever spit out are peas and asparagus. I wish I could take some credit, but I'm a pickier eater than he is.
2. Calvin is curious. His latest thing is to point at everything and ask, "What's that?" He repeats most of what he hears and loves to explore.

3. Calvin loves books. He likes to pick them out and put them on the scanner to check out at the library.

4. Calvin may look more like his mom, but he is his dad. He copies Russell's mannerisms, what he says, and how he says it. Sometimes it's a little scary, but mostly it's cute. Yesterday we were outside and Calvin walked over to Russell, sat down right next to him, crossed his legs the same way and did the same thing with his hands. This little boy loves his daddy.

5. Calvin is all boy. He loves sports, anything with wheels, and gathering rocks and sticks outside. His favorite words these days include "ball," "trucks," and "bus."

To pass this on, I'd like to hear 5 things about Max G., Alex & Logan T., Joshua P., & Brooklyn B.

So I gave in and cut Calvin's hair a couple days ago. What was supposed to be a "slight trim" turned into a "major cut," but at least it grows fast. His hair looks darker to me now, but I decided he's still handsome and looks like such a big boy. Here are some photos of the event:

Before.
We were all about this excited.
During.
Calvin kept spraying himself with the squirt bottle, squirming and laughing. This was both entertaining and made it especially easy for an unprofessional to wield a sharp pair of scissors.
Almost done.
A handsome smile.
After.
I can't decide if this look is innocence or guilt...
The cut's a little uneven, but at least we don't have to worry about it for a good few months!

past couple weeks

One of my mission companions, Jenny, and her little boy, Preston, came over to visit a couple weeks ago. Preston and Calvin are just a week apart and had fun playing and eating snacks together. It was fun to finally meet cute Preston and to catch up with Jenny.

Preston was so good at looking at the camera. Calvin, as usual, was too busy.


For Memorial Day, we had a BBQ at my parent's house. Unfortunately, we had rain, thunder, lightning and hail on and off that day, but it was still a good time.
My dad manned the grill under umbrella cover.
Logan, Alex and Calvin enjoyed Grandma's big tub.
AND, Russell finally caught his first three fish. It was pretty chilly, so he and my dad are the only ones that went. This poor little trout was the unlucky one that didn't get thrown back because Russell is determined to eat it. May he rest in peace in our freezer.
