HAWAII IN FEBRUARY!

2011-04-30T09:38:00.000-07:00

We went to Hawaii with two of our friends in February. Chris and Heidi Beck and Nate and Alice Anderson. Is all I can say is it was the best vacation I have ever had. We will definitely be back.

Just a little side note. Scott is blind for all those who don't know and can't wear contacts, so when he surfed and boarded he wore his prescription snorkel glasses. We laughed pretty hard as so did many others I'm sure. At least he could see and had fun.

CHRISTAMAS 2010!

2011-01-13T14:46:00.000-08:00

This year Christmas was at my moms house. Scott got his deer mounted, which he actually won't get back until April. I basically got money for Hawaii, Dax and Rhett got a train table, books, some DVDs and a whole lot of chocolate. Christmas was very relaxing which is just what I wanted. We had an awesome Christmas!

FIRST HUNT!

2011-01-13T14:05:00.000-08:00

Dax had his first hunting experience with his dad. He loved being outside walking around the river bottoms. The first thing he said after Scott shot the rabbit was, "Can I take it home and put it on my wall?" Scott has a bear and some deer hanging on his wall downstairs in his room and I guess Dax wanted to be just like dad. Pretty cute!

HEADLIGHTS, DUMP TRUCKS, BLANKETS

2011-01-13T13:59:00.000-08:00

This year Dax got quite a few headlights. He's made forts with them, he reads his books in the dark and for whatever other reason he can come up with to have it on his head, he does. Rhett and Dax love playing with their dump trucks. Rhett loves to go on rides and Dax loves to push him. They both are little dare devils. They think it's funny to stand inside the truck and yes both of them have got bruises to show they got bucked off. Both Dax and Rhett love their blue blankets. Rhett likes to tease Dax and steal his as soon as he lets go.

BIRTHDAY BOYS!

2011-01-13T13:42:00.000-08:00

The boys birthdays came and went really fast. Dax now three and Rhett one. Dax and Rhett both loved their cakes, except when it got too messy. Dax particularly loved his train pinata. I can't believe how fast they've grown and how they get funner and funner the older they get. I love my two boys a lot and I am excited for what else is to come. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

HALLOWEEN 2010!

2010-11-12T15:13:00.000-08:00

We had a fun Halloween this year. Dax was (in his words) a big bad red dinosaur and Rhett was a tiny little turtle. We took pictures with his cousins on Scott's side of the family. Jett was a skunk, Baylee was a witch and had an awesome nose, Addison was Snow White and Maddex was spiderman. All great costumes.

SUCCESS!

2010-11-12T14:35:00.000-08:00

Scott got a good size deer this year. He wasn't able to go out a lot, but in the end he came out with an awesome deer.
Luckily there is a girl at my work who loves deer meat. She begs me for it. GROSS! But it's awesome that she loves it so I don't have to eat it.

Scott kept the head and for Christmas he's getting it mounted which he is super stoked about.

Great job babes. And might I add, he shot it at 514 yards away. Amazing! I don't know a better hunter than Scott.

Potato Harvest!

2010-11-12T14:23:00.000-08:00

Scott took Dax out one night to drive tractor with his Uncle Chris in the potato field. (Scott's brother) He wanted to drive all by himself, so Chris let him drive 150 ft all by himself. Dax was pretty proud of himself.

Dax doesn't have his hat on in this picture, but he wanted to wear a red hat just like dad. If you look in the picture above he has one on just like Scott. Pretty dang cute.

ROSS PARK!

2010-09-05T15:27:00.000-07:00

We had a lot of fun going to the swimming pool this year. We were only able to go a couple of times, but enjoyed it. We look forward to going again next year and hopefully more than we went this year.

FRESH PEAS!

2010-09-05T15:11:00.000-07:00

This summer we loved to pick peas out of our garden and sit on the grass to eat them. Both Dax and Rhett loved them and would eat them by the handfull. I'm pretty proud about my garden. This is the first year I've done it all by myself and it turned out pretty good.

CAMPING IN ISLAND PARK!

2010-09-01T14:22:00.000-07:00

In August we went camping with Scott's family in Island Park and had a great time. Dax loved fishing with his dad and pulling Rhett around in the wagon. He also enjoyed riding his bike with all the kids. Our camping trips always include card playing, floating the river, fishing, riding bikes and enjoying the campfire with s'mores.

This year we were able to go see the play of Beauty and the Beast put on in West Yellowstone. What a treat. It's not the best picture of all of us but we enjoyed our time there. Dax was a little scared of the Beast but warmed up to him at the end. What great memories we have of camping.

AIRSHOW!

2010-07-30T14:33:00.000-07:00

Scott took Dax to the air show on Saturday in Idaho Falls. The Blue Angels came. Dax hasn't stopped talking about them since. In his prayers he always makes sure he blesses the blue airplanes in the air before he finishes the prayer.

2010-07-30T13:53:00.000-07:00

Dax loves vacuums. He loves to get them all out. And yes we have four vacuums. The two on the ends are Dax's and the two in the middle are mine. Dax loves vacuum so we vacuum any chance we get.

Rhett thinks he's big enough to stand up to things now.

He also thinks he's big enough to climb. He'll climb his crib, the tub, the stool, the stairs it doesn't matter they are all fun.

Dax thinks he pretty cool to be able to feed Rhett. He's such a big brother, feeding, rough housing or just giving loves.

DAX AND RHETT!

2010-07-30T13:44:00.000-07:00

RHETT!

2010-07-30T13:41:00.000-07:00

DAX!

2010-07-30T13:37:00.000-07:00

NEW HELMET AND SUMMERTIME!

2010-07-06T15:41:00.000-07:00

This is Dax's new helmet. His uncle Randy gave it to him. He is set to go ride the four wheeler with Daddy's shoes and his winter gloves. He loves this thing, he can even put it on all by himself.

This is Dax with his friend Blaze. We had them over the other day to play in the water. They went back and forth from the slip and slide to the pool.

It was so funny to watch them run on that slide. It was extra slippery for some reason, so they couldn't run on it without biffing it. Hilarious!

They even got to eat outside. They had to eat fast though, because some ants decided it looked good too. They had a blast! We love being outside especially in water.

FIRSTS!

2010-04-23T21:34:00.000-07:00

First time riding his bike for the year. First time feeding the ducks in Island Park and seeing a muskrat. First time riding snowmobiles in Island Park. First time putting his coat and gloves on all by himself. First time flying a kite. First time eating oatmeal cereal.

Easter 2010

2010-04-23T21:10:00.000-07:00

This year Easter was a lot of fun. Dying eggs, egg hunts, candy and more candy, a great dinner and finding a basket with all sorts of cool things. Dax really enjoyed all the activities, still not understanding the whole Easter bunny thing. He was very proud of his football Easter egg that we dyed. We stood in line at the fire station in Wellsville waiting for the egg hunt to begin. Snow and rain, it doesn't matter. Easter egg hunts are the best. I do have to say that seeing the fire truck was probably his favorite.

TIRED BOY!

2010-04-23T20:46:00.000-07:00

I find it funny how kids can fall asleep in the funniest and most uncomfortable places.

The black four wheeler

2010-02-27T13:41:00.000-08:00

Dax loves to climb on the side of the couch and pretend he's riding his black four wheeler. I know it's probably not the best thing to teach your kid that it's okayto climb on couches, but he loves it. At least he thinks of safety gear. No one can ride without their helmets.

This would be called a side wheelie.

Dax pretends to crash into trees and fall off. Do you recall him doing crazy tricks on his bike? Well he does them on the couch as well. Scott is a good sport to play with him. They can do big jumps if dad plays.

Football helmet and gloves

2010-02-27T13:36:00.000-08:00

Lately Dax has to wear his "football helmet and gloves" ( also known as his snow hat and gloves) to do anything. He'll run up and down the hall all day with his gear on. He thinks that it protects him when he crashes on the ground.

Look at those ears. They look the same as when he was born.

Two cute growing boys

2010-02-27T13:30:00.000-08:00

Dax and Rhett

2010-01-15T13:39:00.000-08:00

I was over at my friends Katy Murdocks home the other day and she just got our her camara and started taking pictures of Dax and Rhett. They turned out awesome. Thanks Katy, I love them.

More pictures

2010-01-15T13:38:00.000-08:00

Getting Creative!

2010-01-15T13:25:00.000-08:00

On Sunday Dax did not want to eat his pasta. After an hour of struggle Grandma decided to give it to him with whip cream on it. You get to a point were you'll just take whatever works. Dax loved it and he got some extra calories which he can use.

New Years in Logan!

2010-01-06T13:22:00.000-08:00

We went to Logan for New Years. My sister and her family were here from Spokane with their two boys. Scott and I had a lot of fun. When we left we both said we wished we had more time. The funnest parts were staying up late playing games, (we even got my mom to play one game called Buzz word and I know she had a good time) and taking the kids four wheeling and sledding.

The kids were way fun to watch go down the hill and it was hilarious to watch Jake and Dax try to run in their snow gear. Oh and we can't forget the stories that Grandpa told. If I could speak for Dax he would say " that's a nice story grandpa."

One night all the kids slept under the Christmas tree with Grandma and Grandpa. Dax really enjoyed doing that. He thought it was so cool to sleep on the floor with a sleeping bag.

More sledding pictures!

2010-01-06T13:21:00.000-08:00

Christmas in Blackfoot!

2010-01-06T13:09:00.000-08:00

We stayed here for Christmas and went over to Scott's parents house that morning. Grandma and Grandpa got Dax this cool toy story couch that folds out with a sleeping bag and 3D glasses to go with it. Dax thought it was awesome.

They got Rhett this Tonka truck. Dax got one last year. He's put a lot of miles on that thing. Now Rhett can drive right along the side of him. In a year I guess.

Here's Maddex and Dax chillin in front of the T.V. watching the new movies they got for Christmas. It was fun hanging out with family, playing cards and eating good food all day.

Christmas at home!

2010-01-06T12:59:00.000-08:00

Christmas this year was a lot of fun. It was fun to have Rhett with us this year. Dax still didn't quite understand the whole idea but once he saw gifts he new it had to be awesome. Dax loves his new train and I think Scott was most excited about Rhetts' new 270. Dax got one his first year and so Rhett just couldn't be left out. I think he was pretty excited about his bear rug too, although he won't get that back until April. In a few words, Christmas was great this year!

RHETT SCOTT POOLE

2009-12-11T13:15:00.000-08:00

Rhett Scott Poole born Wed. December 2nd at 7:03 am Weighing in at 7lb 6oz and 19.5 inches long and very healthy.
We went in to the hospital Tuesday night, well I guess Wed. morning at 3:00 after contracting all day long and at 6:30 they took me for a repeat c-section.
I was very anxious this time around, I'm not quite sure why but after he was born all that was replaced with excitement and joy. The only bummer was that Dax was not able to see me for three days with not being aloud in the hospital because of H1N1.I was so excited to get home to Dax. He met me with a big hug that brought tears to my eyes. I missed him so much.
My mom was able to stay with us for a week which was awesome. She was so much help. Now my sister Stacy is here till Sunday, my parents will come pick her up then. I forgot how overwhelming it is to have a new baby but I've really enjoyed this last week, even through the emotional times. I can't believe a week has already gone by.

Here's a picture of our fun little family. What cute boys I have. All three of them.

HAPPY NUMBER 2!

2009-11-24T22:10:00.000-08:00

Dax turned two on Monday so we had all of Scott's family out to our house for cake and ice cream. He loved the balloons and the football cake and the many many gifts. He wasn't too sure about everyone singing to him but I think by the end of the night he realized that it was an important and fun day for him. Scott and I enjoyed being with him that day and remembering back two Thanksgivings ago. I can't believe it's gone by so fast. And let me just say that Dax is all boy. He's so fun to be with. Happy Birthday Dax. We love you.

KITCHEN FLOOR!

2009-11-24T21:53:00.000-08:00

If you haven't heard our tile drama the short story is that a week after we put it all down in our kitchen and entry way the tiles came loose, they popped and cracked and all the grout chipped away and broke off. I don't have the best pictures of before but you can see in the background how they are all loose and the grout is missing in a lot of areas. A disaster and heartache to say the least. But three years later we have a awesome wood floor. We love it! It's nice to know that I won't have to sweep grout up three times a day anymore and Dax can play trucks on the floor and not have them get stuck on the tile.

CHOCOLATE PUDDING!

2009-11-24T21:40:00.000-08:00

Dax helped me make brownies the other night and what kid doesn't get to eat the beaters after helping mom? Dax called it chocolate pudding and loved it.

Not sure what cheese grin he's doing there but pretty cute.

Scott showed Dax himself in the mirror afterwards and Dax totally did the chin drop of "Whoa, what's all over my face?" It's been a week now and he still asks to see the chocolate pudding on his face on the camera and talks about it none stop. Just out of the blue he'll say, "Chocolate pudding, face, mirror, funny."

"I scared mommy."

2009-10-30T13:45:00.001-07:00

We picked out this tiger costume for Dax and for some reason every time I'd show it to him or ask him to put it on he'd say " I scared mommy." For the longest time he would barely even touch it. But after much coaxing, reading books about tigers, making tiger noises and showing him that he looked silly in the mirror, he finally loves it. He loves the paws the best and pretends to scratch you while he makes a tiger noise. I tried to paint whiskers and a nose on him but every time he even saw the pencil he'd run and say no. Oh well still a pretty cute little tiger.

We went over to Scott's moms house and took pictures of the kids. Maddex is Nemo and Jett is squirt the turtle. Pretty dang cute. Maddex pretended to swim in the leaves.

October Fun!

2009-10-30T13:32:00.000-07:00

Dax and I went and saw my sister Amy and her family in October. Our trip was very low key and relaxing (greatly needed). Dax loved playing with Aidan and Jack. All three of them ran up and down the halls, played trains, watched Handy Manny and Dinosaur Train. It's always fun to see cousins play well together.

Friday we went to the annual Harvest Festival. Aidan ended up getting sick and wasn't able to come but Dax and Jack still had fun. The Harvest Festival was more fun this year with the boys being older. They enjoyed it all; the hay maze, the pumpkin patch, the tractor, the jump and bounce, and air filled catapillar and mostly the pumpkin doughnuts. I think we ate a dozen and then took a dozen home. They are that good. Dax picked out his own pumpkin and we carved it a little later that week. Dax thought the pumpkin guts were "ewe yuck" so he enjoyed drawing on it.

I always have a good time when I visit my sister. It's nice to visit, relax and watch the kids play. Some of Dax's other favorite times there included; watching baseball and football with Mike, playing with the "big truck", playing with but watching from afar the little dinosaur that walked and made noises (he wasn't quit sure) and waiting to eat breakfast with Aidan and Jack.

BUMPS AND BRUISES!

2009-09-29T09:44:00.000-07:00

The last five minutes of nursery Dax and I were hanging out by the door ready to go. As the door opened he turned, tripped on his foot and slammed into the door leaving this bruise. Before I could even pick him up it was already this swollen and blue. I'm just glad it didn't split. There was a lot of pressure under that bump.

He was pretty tough. He didn't cry for very long but kept rubbing his head and saying ouch. He even had a smile for me. Not too many things slow him down.

CRAZY D!

2009-09-29T09:36:00.000-07:00

We found this clip of a little boy doing crazy tricks on his four wheeler. They call him Crazy P. Dax loving four wheelers right now will watch this clip over and over again. You can tell as he watches it he's figuring out how he does his tricks. Sure enough here's Dax copying his crazy tricks. Dax can do the one footer, the wheelie (whee whee), standing, and of course we can't leave out wrecking. I think that's his favorite. He purposely wrecks most of the time. This is our Crazy D. It's fun to see how brave and crazy he can be.

Manito Park

2009-08-25T11:05:00.000-07:00

I went to visit my sister Amy, AGAIN. We went to this really cool park. Inside it had different themed gardens. A few that I remember are Japanese Garden, Rose Garden, Lilac Garden and English Garden which is the picture I have here. As you stood on the top of the stairs, it looked like you were looking at a picture out of a magazine. Each garden was so pretty and they smelled so good with all the flowers they had. It was really neat. Dax and Aidan loved the water fountain.

They had some playground toys. This little one was perfect for Dax. The rock climb, the slides, everything. He loved that he could go down the slide all by himself and not crash into the ground at the bottom. They had ducks there at the pond that we fed a lot of bread to. After our bread was almost gone we saw the sign "Do not feed the waterfowl. OOPS!

Being there was very relaxing. We really enjoyed spending time with family.

TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALLGAME!

2009-08-25T10:20:00.000-07:00

We went with some of our friends to a Salt Lake Bees game a couple of weeks ago. We decided to make a weekend of it, so Friday we went to the Bees game and Saturday we swam at the hotel in the morning and then went to Hogle Zoo.

Dax was a huge fan of "The Bee". Just at a far distance though. Up close, not so much as you can see.

Here is Jake, Heidi, Case, Me, Dax, and Scott. Hoss and Chris were taking the picture and Chris was holding Kate. The boys got sword balloons but by the end of the night I think all of them had popped. They were giving out free bike helmets for the kids. All the kids got a bike helmet including little Kate. Dax enjoyed his hot dog and ice cream in a baseball cap. He still points to it on his shelf and says "ice cream" .

Here's us three, well I guess 4. I'm looking pretty pregnant there.

Hogle Zoo

2009-08-25T10:19:00.000-07:00

I forget how big Hogle Zoo is. And how much stuff there is to see and do. We were able to see the giraffes. One of them just had a baby which was nine days old, so we felt lucky to see that as well. Dax loved the monkeys the best I think. Each time we left the monkeys to go see something else he'd throw a fit. He tried to mimic the monkeys. You could tell he really enjoyed it, which made it fun for Scott and I.

We rode the carousel. Dax could have rode that thing all day if it was up to him. By the first time I was done.

Here's the whole group of us that went. It was fun to be able to go and do something with our friends. We had a really good time. Kids make it hard to do things sometimes, but all in all, they make it much more fun!

MORMON BEND CAMPING!

2009-08-04T13:08:00.000-07:00

This last week was our annual camping trip with Scott's family. We go to Stanley and stay at a campsite called Mormon Bend. They have paved roads which makes it nice for the kids to ride their bikes. Things we enjoy doing while we are there for a week include: floating the Salmon River on our inner tubes, eating great food, fishing, going to the hot pools, relaxing, playing cards and sitting by the fire after our kids go to bed and just enjoy being able to visit and watch the kids play well together.

We look forward to this camping trip all year and we're sad when it's over. Next year there will be a couple more kiddos running around that we'll have to chase. It will be lots of fun.

VISITING MY SIS!

2009-07-22T14:19:00.000-07:00

This last week I was able to go see my sister Amy in Spokane. Thanks to a conference I had for work, I didn't have to pay for anything. I feel really lucky.

Our first day we went to Greenbluff Drive and picked raspberries. The kids loved it. Dax helped a whole bunch but wasn't sure about the taste.

We had raspberries for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We even made some raspberry freezer jam. It was awesome.

The next day we went to the city pool. Admission was only $1 for me and Dax was free. Can't beat that fun. The kids are all water rats.

Continued

2009-07-22T14:18:00.000-07:00

As you can see the back seat was crammed, but it worked out really well. I think poor Aidan got the bad end of the deal, but he was a sport.

They loved playing outside in the pool, riding their bikes and pushing little toys around.

My conference was Friday and Saturday, so Amy watched the boys. That couldn't have been easy.

What cute boys we have. They are so much fun. I'm glad that I'm able to go see my sister as much as I do. I'm going again in August, so there will be lots more pictures then. I think my favorite parts of this trip were picking raspberries and staying up way past my bedtime to watch Bones or CSI NY or any movie on TV.

NEW NEWS!

2009-07-10T10:22:00.000-07:00

Wednesday we went to the doctor and found out that we are having another boy. YEAH! We're really excited to have another boy in our family. Now Dax will have a little buddy to play with. He'll be a great big brother. He already loves babies and is really soft and gentle with them. That might change a bit once he sees all the attention the new baby gets. But I still think he'll love him tons.

4TH OF JULY!

2009-07-07T15:33:00.000-07:00

For the fourth we went down to my parents house. We left Friday morning. We first went to Brigham City pool with my sister and her kids and swam all day. Scott and Dax had a blast going down the big slide and Dax loved the little slides that he could do all by himself. I was impressed with how long Scott was willing to stay. He's normally good for about a half hour and that's it. This time he said, "It's a lot funner with a kid". So yeah, I get to stay longer and I have someone to chase Dax.

That night we went and watched Logan's fireworks in the mall parking lot, ate pizza and was able to visit with extended family. Saturday we woke up early to make it to the Lewiston parade. Dang that parade has a lot of candy which is super fun for the kids. We had a picnic lunch at my mom's house and later that night we went to Logan's old car show The Cruise In. We ended the night lighting fireworks at my parents house. Little Jack got scared so he went to bed but the rest of us enjoyed all of them. Dax kept saying again, again.

We left that night to come back to Blackfoot. We didn't' get home till 12:30 but we had a really good time. The fourth of July was a lot of fun this year.

Water Fun!

2009-06-26T10:42:00.000-07:00

Yesterday my friend Katy and I took Dax and Maddy to Ross Park. I wasn't sure how Dax would do, it was a little windy but still warm. We were there for about two and a half hours. Just perfect I think. Dax loved it. He walked all over the kiddie toys, up and down the stairs, played in the shooting water, went down the slide by himself and followed Maddy wherever she went.

I think Dax had the most fun counting to three and running in and out of the pool. They did this for a good 45 min.

Here's Maddy showing us here floating skills. Very good Maddy! I can now say that Dax is a water rat. Thanks for going with us Katy.

More pictures!

2009-06-26T10:41:00.000-07:00

It would only let me do four pictures on that last post for some reason but I thought they were all cute so here's a few more.

Four wheeling with Grandma!

2009-06-26T07:40:00.000-07:00

Chris and Crystal bought this little four wheeler for Baylee and lets just say it has gotten its use lately. Its been over at grandmas and grandpas house so every time we go over Dax begs anyone to take him for a ride. He's even kind enough to bring you your shoes and jacket. He loves this thing.

Dax has now learned how to use the kill switch, where the key is and how to accelerate. His driving definitely needs some improvement, you kind of get whip lash while driving with him. His little finger just isn't strong enough to hold the gas down for very long.

Grandma's always a good sport to go out and play with the grandkids. Thanks Kathryn.

Baby Animal Days!

2009-06-24T09:04:00.000-07:00

I know this is kind of old, but I've either been too busy or too exhausted to do anything. We went to baby animal days here in Blackfoot at the fair grounds. The kids as usual loved it. We were able to go to two animal days this year, one in Logan and one here in Blackfoot. Chris and Grandpa Poole weren't able to be there but we had fun hanging out with Grandma. We rode the horse ride, tried honey fudge, got balloons and ate some dang good hot dogs. What a fun time of year.

WISHING!

2009-05-13T09:14:00.000-07:00

When Scott was getting ready for his bear hunt Dax wanted to try on his pack. Wishing he could go with I'm sure. He loves being with his daddy especially when he's in his room doing boy things, or reading a new hunting magazine. He looked super cute as he stood there all big boy like.

He kind of looks like an army dude decked out and ready to go.

Someday he'll grow into it. Probably faster than I would like. Time does fly when you're having fun!

DUCKS AND TRAINS!

2009-05-13T09:02:00.000-07:00

Behind my dad's house there is the Wellsville Dam which has lots a ducks. Ever so often we'll take the four wheelers and some bread and go feed the ducks. Dax loves ducks now, any picture he sees of a duck he says "duck,duck". When I ask his what a duck says it's "duck, duck".

My nephew Aidan loves trains so while they were here we road the train from Ogden to Salt Lake. It was pretty adventurous. Dax wanted to get down and walk all over the place which was fine but when the train stopped and took off he'd tumble to the ground. More than anything it was fun be be with grandma, grandpa and cousins.

TREEHOUSE MUSEUM!

2009-04-24T10:53:00.000-07:00

This last week Scott went bear hunting so Dax and I went down to my mom's. My sister was there with her two boys. We decided to go to the treehouse museum in Ogden. The kids had a blast. There was a million things for them to do and play with. It was so kid oriented that I didn't have to tell Dax "no" fifty times. It was awesome.
Some of their rooms were life size chess pieces, an art room, a music room, dinosaur room, block room, puzzle room, medieval room, geography room and many more. Way fun, I totally recommend it to anyone with kids.

EASTER FUN!

2009-04-24T10:40:00.000-07:00

Our Easter started off by going over to our wards Easter egg hunt. Each kid got to make a sack for their eggs they found. Scott did and excellent job at helping Dax with his. I love the bunny. Next we went to Scott's parents house and cut out and decorated sugar cookies. Each kid got their very own. It was such a nice day that all of us went outside to play. What a perfect Easter weekend.

Sunday Dax found his Easter basket and loved the football eggs more than anything. Next we were spoiled with dad being able to be with us the whole morning. We ate crepes and dyed some Easter eggs. Next we were off to the Easter egg hunt in Dax's bedroom. Dax thought this was way fun. He loved it and totally got it. He'd gesture with hands where's more? After church we all met back at Scott's parents house and took Easter pictures. For the most part the kids were awesome and as you can tell Dax really loves his cousin Addison.

Bear Down!

2009-04-23T20:29:00.000-07:00

Spring time means bear hunting. This spring was no different. This is my third year trying to get a bear. Turns out it was my lucky year. The picture below is the country we were hunting. It is steep, rugged and very pretty. No fourwheelers, no pickups, just as far as your own two legs can take you.
This is a picture of my hunting buddy's father in law and myself. He used to own a hunting lodge near here and guided for steelhead and bears. He was gracious enough to take Casey and I out on this hunt. He is 72 years old and climbed the hills like he was 20 (I was going to say 30, but he outhiked my butt!) Just in case anyone is wondering, I'm the one on the right. We hiked for a couple of hours and finally got to the top of the mountain. We glassed for about a half hour and finally found a bear. Casey and I both shot once and both missed. The bear ran into the trees for a minute, but came out into another clearing. I fired my second shot at 458 yards and the bear dropped in its tracks. This is Casey and I admiring our bear.

When the bear went down it actually ended up rolling down the hill about 300 yards. This forced us to hike out using a different route than when we came in. We soon realized this new path would require us to cross a creek. That made for some interesting moments. I thought for sure someone was going to go for a swim. This picture doesn't really do the creek justice. It was running VERY fast.

We finally got back to the boat and called it a day. The bear is at the taxidermist right now. I'm going to do a rug mount and hang it in the living room. (Just kidding Athena) I had a great time. I was able to hunt with my brother for two days and really enjoyed his company. I got my bear the third day and saw even more beautiful country on the fourth day. Overall it was an excellent weekend.

27th!

2009-04-10T15:00:00.000-07:00

For my birthday on Thursday we had Scott's family over and my mom and dad came up from Logan. We had a little barbecue, ate some cake and watched the kids be hilarious. Thanks to everyone for coming. That was really nice. What a great birthday. Thanks again.

Dancing Fools!

2009-04-10T14:42:00.000-07:00

This is a video of Dax and Baylee dancing to the card that Chris and Crystal gave me for my birthday. They absolutely loved this thing. It was pretty entertaining to watch them dance.

ONE YEAR PICTURES!

2009-03-21T11:13:00.000-07:00

I've been trying to download these pictures so I can have them on the side of my blog but I get an error every time I try to do it. I think I have to change the name of the file or something. If anyone has any input it would be greatly appreciated.

SUNSHINE!

2009-03-21T11:00:00.000-07:00

My friend Gretta and I went for a walk yesterday. I can't believe what a nice, warm day it was. No jackets! Spring might just be here. After our walk we let Dax and Jasper play in the front yard with their footballs. They loved being outside and running free. They both got a kick out of the fence. It's so cute to watch your kids play with other kids. After dinner, outside we went again. We had a good day. Dax is going to love summer.

ST. PATRICK'S DAY!

2009-03-18T06:40:00.000-07:00

Our St. Patrick's Day started off by having green eggs and pancakes. I could eat the pancakes but I just couldn't bring myself to eat the eggs. They looked really disgusting. Scott and Dax liked them at least. Later that day we made sugar cookies. I brought out Dax's bumbo and sat him on the counter, he even helped me stir. He did a great job. He liked being right up there with me. I'm sure I'll use his bumbo more so he can take part in making dinner or whatever. After lunch we delivered some cookies to our neighbors and then we went into my work and did the same.
For dinner I tried to come up with something clever to make like green rice and meatballs, but I didn't have all the ingredients for them. We ended up with tacos and green beans. At least I had something green. Overall we had a great day! Scott was able to be home with us. We did our taxes and hung my temple picture that I got for Christmas. More than anything Dax loved being able to play with his dad all day.

Q-TIPS

2009-03-18T06:28:00.000-07:00

Two days ago I was in the kitchen making lunch and I noticed Dax was being very good. Well, too good. When I went to check on him this is what I found. Q-tips were everywhere. I had them in a plastic bag and somehow he opened it and dumped them all out. Notice where he's putting the Q-tip. That's a little scary.

I thought I had picked them all up and yesterday he kept finding them. I lifted up our rug in the bathroom and found a ton more. What a funny kid. And what great memories little kids have. Dax remembers a few days later where a ball is that rolled under the couch.

SNOW SHOEING IN JACKSON!

2009-02-17T14:26:00.000-08:00

This year for Valentines I did something way out of the ordinary for me. All the girls from the O.R. went on their annual snow shoeing trip. This year was my first. Well at least the snow shoeing part. I went last year but Dax was only two months old, so I stayed in the cabin with him. This year was in Jackson right across from the elk refuge. We had such a blast. Friday night entailed playing Apples to Apples, eating as much junk food as we wanted to and laughing till our bellies hurt, or was it the food. Either way we had a great time.

This is Trish and I a little ways into the trip. We went to the Teton National park up by Bradley Lake.
As you can see we started bundled up and about a half mile into it we all started shedding clothes.

This is Becky and I. Her and Trish I got the most kick out of this trip. They were hilarious!

Here's the final picture on the lake. A small storm was starting to roll in. It was a very gorgeous hike. This is where we ate our lunch and then started back. I've already started my count down for next year. Snow shoeing here I come.

HORRIBLE CUTTING SKILLS!

2009-02-17T14:25:00.000-08:00

So a couple weeks ago Dax's hair was getting a little long to do anything with so I decided I would just take the buzzer to it to make it a little shorter. After I was done I got looking at it and decided that it didn't look so good but I left it alone. It will grow back right?

Well last Sunday I was doing Dax's hair again and in the back by his neck his hair was just a little long it kind of did the flip out thing even with gel. So I decided I would get some scissors and just cut it off in a straight line. Not that hard. That didn't work very well either. In fact it looked so awful that when I got to church Scott's first words were "What did you do to his hair?"

That night I asked his mom if she would help me fix his hair, just buzz it to even it all out. With two giant holes later in the back of his head I decided I'd had enough and took him to my hair lady. She so kindly showed me how to use the clippers and then take a comb and some fine scissors to get the stray long ones. But I am not to do this without the help of my husband to help distract him. Dax has officially enrolled into the military. We are such proud parents!

Date Night

2009-01-27T15:40:00.000-08:00

Saturday we went out with a few of our friends. We ate at Olive Garden and then went bowling in Idaho Falls. We had a great time. Laughing and enjoying each others company. I love date nights. We don't do them very often but love the times that we are able to.
Thanks Chris and Crystal for watching Dax for us. We had a great time.

Look at that form. Wow! Is he professional? Oh wait, I think his wife beat his score! He He!

Rough Weekend

2009-01-27T15:18:00.000-08:00

This little boy had a rough weekend. On Thursday he ran into the bed post and gave himself a black eye. On Saturday he was pushing a stroller and went from carpet to hardwood and biffed it, giving himself a fat bloody lip and also bruising his gums where his teeth come out. Luckily they were not loose. And then to top it off on Sunday he ran into grandma's bedroom with the lights off and ran right into the corner of the dresser giving himself a bigger black eye with bruises that go from his forehead to his upper lip. I'm so sorry bud. Thankfully he had his one year checkup on Wed., otherwise mom might be in trouble.

Even though all those things happened this weekend, he was still a pretty happy boy, only cried a little. It didn't' slow him down in the least bit.

CATCHING UP!

2009-01-21T13:04:00.000-08:00

My friend Holly came to Wellsville to stay with her parents for a little while from Alaska. North Pole to be exact. I thinks it's cool that that's her address. Dax and I went down to eat lunch with her and her girls. Abby 4, Avery 3. Scott stayed home. He had a basketball game Friday night and then he wanted to go hunting on Saturday and not feel guilty about not being home with us. Holly's husband wasn't there either had had already gone back to Alaska.

We went to Firehouse and each got a ice cream cookie. They are to die for. We both agree that when you move away, they just don't have the restaurants that home had to offer. So anytime we come home we have to eat somewhere that Alaska, or Blackfoot doesn't offer. I think our favorite spots to catch up have been Sizzler, we both waitressed there, Formosa a Chinese place, and Firehouse.

We tried to get a picture of the kids but they didn't feel like cooperating. They still turned out cute though.

Thanks Holly for taking some time and spending it with Dax and I it was great to visit and catch up. Your girls were adorable and so big I can't believe it. I love Avery's expression in this picture. I'm so glad that we're able to do this every once in awhile. I miss ya and I'm glad that everything is going well for you.

ODD SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS!

2009-01-16T10:26:00.000-08:00

Lately I've been finding Dax in some unusual positions. Here's one with his feet in between the bars. That can't be comfortable.

And here he is laying sideways, blanket in mouth draped over his face. Even in the oddest positions, they still seem to sleep excellent. Wish I could sleep that good.

LAVA HOT SPRINGS!

2009-01-16T10:19:00.000-08:00

Last Saturday we decided to take Dax to Lava Hot Springs. We had a pretty good time. The water was really hot, so Dax didn't like it as first but after he got used to it he had a blast playing with his toys on the steps splashing away. What a fun family memory. We've really enjoyed Dax lately. He's getting to the point were he can understand us a little better and we can understand him a little more. What a fun age.

SURPRISE!

2009-01-16T09:58:00.000-08:00

So the other day Scott came home from his meeting and said, "you stay here I need to take Dax to go get something." The next thing I heard was "go find mom" As I waited anxiously I saw Dax peek around the corner with a present in his hand. I looked at Scott in confusement (if that's a word) and I found an iPod in side. He's known I've wanted one of these for a long time. I was very excited. Then he took Dax to get another gift. I unwrapped it and found a gift card for iTunes, and then another gift which was the car charger, wall charger and radio adapter. HOW FUN!
Come to find out instead of going to his meetings, he went to his friends house and downloaded a bunch of songs for me. What a great surprise. This is probably the best surprise I've gotten since we've been married. I have such a great husband. You did awesome babes. Thanks.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

2009-01-01T21:13:00.000-08:00

For New Year's Eve we went over to our neighbors house with a few couples from the ward. We ate a bunch of good food, the ribs were the best by far and the meatballs. We played rock band on the wii and was able to relax and visit.

This picture was taken at like 10:30pm. I'm surprised that Dax was still kickin around. He did awesome. He played so well with all of the kids. We watched the ball drop in New York at 10pm and called it good. We had a really good time.

CHRISTMAS IN BLACKFOOT!

2009-01-01T11:12:00.000-08:00

After we got back from Logan, we went to Scott's parents house on Sunday. Chris and Crystal and the girls came out. We ate yummy ham and and mashed potatoes with ham gravy. It's the best ever. We opened gifts and watched the kids get so excited. Grandma and Grandpa got Dax this little vacuum. He loves that thing. He pushes it around everywhere and gets mad when he gets stuck. They also got a red wagon and of course they all needed a ride. Chris and Crystal got new ski goggles and the kids wanted to try them on. They looked hilarious. We were sad Tyler, Katie, Maddex and Jett weren't able to be with us, but next year will be tons of fun with five little kids running around.

CHRISTMAS IN LOGAN!

2008-12-31T15:18:00.000-08:00

This year all of my family was home for Christmas. My sister Amy and her family drove from Spokane, Stacy was there, and Mitch and his fiance Tiffany were there. We were able to do alot of things together. On Christmas Eve we went to my Aunt Susan's house and ate and did gifts. I think the funnest part was sledding behind her house. I don't know what Dax thought of it, in fact he biffed it a few times face first in the snow.

On Friday we did some shopping and ate at Olive Garden. That night we went to my Grandma Hyer's house and did some more eating and opening gifts. I think Dax liked the boxes the best. Any box he could find to stand on even if it was only two inches off the ground he did. Stacy got guitar hero for Christmas and I swear that's all we did on Christmas day. I think one period of time was six hours straight.

It was so fun to be with family during the holidays. Dax loved playing with his cousins Aidan and Jack. And we all enjoyed getting to know Tiffany better. Thanks mom and dad for all that you did for us that weekend. We enjoy coming home and visiting. We love you.

KATIE AND TYLER'S NEW BABY

2008-12-31T15:01:00.000-08:00

Tyler and Katie had their baby on Dec. 9th. Jett Neil Hone. Scott's parents were in Hawaii so Crystal and I went over to help her out till her mom could get there. We had a really great weekend just spending time together, talking, getting/giving advice, entertaining kids and truly confiding in each other.

Here's another picture of Jett. He's pretty tiny and dang cute. He looks alot like Maddex. Weighing only 5lb and 8oz. He is such a good baby. He eats well and sleeps well, which I'm sure makes Katie happy.

Maddex and Dax played pretty well together. I'm sure they both enjoyed having someone their size to play and interact with.

I think they were both watching Cars while sitting in Maddex's Car couch. Pretty cute!

Thank you Katie for letting us help you. I had a lot of fun and enjoyed being able to talk with you. We love Jett and all of you so much.

FUTURE DRIVER

2008-12-05T06:44:00.000-08:00

Dax loves pretending to drive. He thinks it's the coolest. Before we know it we'll have these same pictures only 14 years older. Still the same grin.

This is just a picture of Dax when he fell asleep after a long day of running errands. We came home and before I was going to put him down for his nap, I thought I would give him a snack. I was doing some bills and noticed he was being very quiet (which is weird). I looked over and zonked, out cold. He didn't eat much of that apple as you can see. Tired boy!

THANKSGIVING WITH FAMILY. THE BEST!

2008-12-05T06:36:00.000-08:00

This Thanksgiving was with Scott's extended side of the family. The Poole side to be more specific. It's always nice to visit with the people you don't see very often. Later that evening his mom's sister and family came over and we played Bunko which was way fun. We blocked the kiddos in the living room so we didn't have to worry about them while we played games. I felt kind of bad but it was nice not to have to worry about Dax going down the stairs.

Scott's sister Katie and her husband Tyler and boy Maddex came over from Boise. It was so nice to see them and have the kids all play together. Katie is due at the end of December. We can't wait to see her little boy and have another cousin to play with.

BLACK FRIDAY

2008-12-05T06:21:00.000-08:00

Ever since Scott and I have been married, I've gone shopping the day after Thanksgiving with his mom and sister. It is such a blast. I love it. I can't really sleep the night before. Just thoughts going through my head all night. I kind of compare it to the night before Scott goes hunting. Kim is always a good sport and comes with us to stand in line while us girls shop. Thank you for making it such a fun day.

ON THE MOVE

2008-11-25T14:36:00.000-08:00

Dax has been trying to walk for the longest time. He'd take a few steps here and there and then fall. Now, he's walking like a champ. When he does fall he'll crawl over to the wall, stand up and take off again. He loves it. He gets so excited when he walks for a long time. We're so proud of this boy.

1ST BIRTHDAY

2008-11-25T09:41:00.000-08:00

I can't believe one year has flown bye. Wow that was fast! It has been an awesome year. Dax has been so fun. We love him so much. We got him this suit for his birthday. He looks like a little boy now, no longer a baby. He looks so adorable in these pictures. The second picture shows how big his top teeth are getting. Who needs chicklets?

For Dax's birthday we had our families over for dinner. My mom made delicious cheesy potato soup. Yum! Thanks mom. We opened gifts and watched Dax dive into his first cake. He wasn't so sure but he did like the icing. What a mess! He got lots of fun toys from everyone and a cute outfit from Chris and Crystal. Thank you everyone for coming and sharing Dax's birthday with us. We love our families and are grateful for their love and support.

Lovin the music

2008-11-25T09:40:00.000-08:00

Dax got this toy for his birthday. The kids got a kick out of it. They thought it was so cool. Dax loves the music. Anytime he hears music, wheather it's a toy, the radio or the Friends theme song playing on the T.V. he has to dance. Way cute!

TWILIGHT

2008-11-21T08:49:00.001-08:00

For all you Twilight fans. Last night was the night. My friend and I went to the opening show at midnight. I can't believe I actually stayed awake. It was awesome. Not as many people dressed up as I thought they would. I definitely did not dress up. I really thought the movie was done very well. I didn't like Edward at first, I thought his haircut made him look like Frankenstein, but at the end I really liked him. The kiss scenes helped a bit too.

Now for the rest of my day, I woke up at 5:30 and went to the gym, I'll drop Dax off at the babysitters for a couple of hours while I go to work from 11:00 - 1:30 and then we're going over to our friends house to watch Get Smart. What a fun day. I have to say I haven't done something like this in a long time. And I really enjoyed it aside from the fact that I'm so tired. Oh well I'll sleep tomorrow. Have a good day!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BAYLEE

2008-11-21T08:33:00.000-08:00

It was Baylee's birthday in July but we got a kick out of these pictures. She got a lot of cool stuff but the coolest thing was the swim gear she got from Grandma.

Everyone had to try them on. It was pretty hilarious.

Even Addison wanted a turn. They are way cute girls with lots of personality. We love it!

Sometimes we just don't know where they get it from.

Oh, yeah we do! That's a nice look for you Chris. You look awesome.

GO BATTY!

2008-11-01T12:09:00.000-07:00

For Halloween Dax was a little bat. He was so adorable and he left his hat on the whole time. He loved it.

This was Dax's first Halloween. We had a full day. We canned applesauce in the morning. Dax took a nap and I made pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. We visited my work, Scott's work, Scott's mom's work and Scott's brother Chris's work. Crystal, my sister-in-law came with me. Her two little girls were way cute as well. Later that night we put our tattoos on our pumpkins. We opted for the tattoos because Scott thinks that carving pumpkins stinks. He can't stand the smell and I figured Dax has many more years to come of being able to feel the goo inside the pumpkins. We also had our ward party that night, with chili and cinnamon rolls, with a trunk or treat at the end. To wrap up the day we visited Scott's Aunt Elaine, his grandparents and then his parents. Dax was hammered by the night but I think overall he had a great day. Oh except he did puke three times that day. Still happy though. He's such a good boy. We love him.

These two pictures were taken at Scott's moms house at nine o'clock. All of the kids were already in their pj's and had to get back in their costumes. They were not the most cooperative or the happiest. But say cheese. Happy Halloween.

A FUN FILLED WEEK

2008-10-31T10:21:00.001-07:00

This last week I was able to go see my sister Amy in Spokane. Dax did excellent on both flights he slept pretty much the whole way. We had such a great weekend. We did some shopping, went to a harvest farm and hung out till the late hours of the night. Amy is a night owl. The rest of the time we entertained our kids.

The boys played so well together it was fun to watch them entertain each other. We tried so hard to get a good picture of them all, but this is the best we got. Aidan tried so hard to keep them sitting up and smiling, he's so cute.

Here we are at the harvest farm. Dax is eating the pumpkin doughnuts they had there. They were to die for. We each had three! Yikes!

Dax's smile is so cute in this picture I thought. What a cute boy!

Jack and Dax loved the pumpkins and the hay they were sitting on.

We had such a great weekend. I love spending time with my family. Aidan and Jack are so fun, what cute good little boys. Thank you for letting us come visit, we loved it. Hopfully we will be able to do it again soon. Maybe Scott will be able to come next time. He wished he would of been able to be there. We love you. See you in December.

2008 DEER HUNT

2008-10-20T21:10:00.000-07:00

Scott and his brother Chris went hunting this last weekend over in Rockland, Idaho. They left Friday day and came home Saturday night. They had a way good time. Scott really enjoys hunting with Chris. This is some of the terrain they hiked through. Pretty steep is you ask me.

Here is Chris with his bag of sandwiches that his wife made for him. What a lucky guy.

Here is the poor deer, or is it poor Scott for carrying the deer. This was a good sized deer and Scott proudly hauled this thing up a steep hill and then down to the truck. Way to go Scott! That's my husband for you. Hot and tough. I think he got his workout for the month.

Here is his deer hung up in the tree. We put it in our front yard and high enough so animals wouldn't get to it. On Monday on my way out the door to work, I look at the tree and the deer was not hanging there anymore. It kind of freaked me out so I got Scott and this is what we discovered.

Our two neighbors thought it would be hilarious to kidnap Scott's deer and replace it with this stuffed animal. I think it's a kangaroo but it worked. We suspected it was our neighbors so Scott thought it would be funny to have a cop who is in our ward show up with his lights flashing and take pictures and be professional about the whole thing. Well as soon as our neighbor saw the cop car he comes barreling out of his house down the road yelling at Scott "It's alright I took your deer!"

I have to give our neighbors credit, they did a really good job at dressing up this animal. The had a white shirt to represent the white bags wrapped around the meat, blue tape around the belly to represent the strap, and a pencil in between the legs for the stick. Well done Bret and Kent.

It was pretty hilarious, but I think in the end Scott got the last laugh.

GROWING UP!

2008-10-20T21:00:00.000-07:00

GROWING UP!

2008-10-20T20:52:00.000-07:00

We can't believe Dax is almost one. Time does fly when you're having fun! We've really enjoyed our little boy and are excited to continue to watch him grow. He thinks he's pretty big now, getting out of his bumbo, trying to walk, climbing stairs, and can you believe he has FOUR teeth. He sure has a lot of personality and alot of expressions which has been so fun to watch. We love you Dax!

HALLOWEEN TREATS

2008-10-20T20:39:00.000-07:00

Grandma and Grandpa Hyer sent Dax a halloween package. In it was a cute halloween book and lots and lots of treats. Thank you grandma and grandpa. We love you and miss you.

FAMILY CAMPING

2008-09-15T18:44:00.000-07:00

In August we went camping with Scott's family to Mormon Bend Campground just outside of Stanley, Idaho. Like always, we had a really great time. A lot of work goes into it all, but once we get up there and situated we're able to just relax and enjoy each others company. This was Dax's first camping experience and besides not sleeping at night he did awesome. It gets really cold up there at night. Even Scott and I froze. During the day when it was warmer we fished, floated the river, soaked in the hot pots, played cards till late at night, ate good food and visited Stanley Lake. In years past we've always gone to Red Fish Lake so we decided to go to Stanley Lake this year. It is so pretty up there, the scenery is amazing.

Our tent is kind of scary looking. We started out in the grass but then the camp manager said we had to move since the tents can only go on the tent designated area, so we moved to the black top. With no place to tack down our tent we jimmy rigged it to the trees. Pretty sad looking. We're just glad it didn't blow away.

Maddex enjoyed pulling Dax around in the wagon, Baylee and Addison enjoyed the water and playing in the dirt. Overall we had a great time and look forward to going next year.

THE MANY FACE EXPRESSIONS OF DAX!

2008-09-10T21:29:00.000-07:00

THE MANY FACE EXPRESSIONS OF DAX!

2008-09-10T21:10:00.000-07:00

Eastern Idaho State Fair

2008-09-10T18:20:00.000-07:00

The Eastern Idaho State Fair came to Blackfoot. It was a blast. We enjoyed being with our friends and family. My family came up from Wellsville to spend the day with us. We loved the petting zoo and of course the food (curly fries, tiger ears, funnel cakes, teriyaki chicken rice bowl, pepsi by the gallons, fried snickers bar and much much more).

Catching up

2008-09-08T17:56:00.000-07:00

We thought we would catch everyone up since it's been awhile. We've really enjoyed these last few years in Idaho. We bought a house that needed some TLC. We've remodeled the entire inside and hope this next summer to work on the outside and yard.

Idaho has been a great place for Scott to do the things he loves (hunting, fishing). He has hunted coyotes, deer, bear, elk, doves, rabbits, and mountain lions so far and is really looking forward to shooting something. Turns out he is a better hiker than hunter. Scott works at Spudnik which is a company that sells potato harvesting equipment (www.spudnik.com). He works in their finance department and has really enjoyed his job. He is 2nd counselor in the bishopric and really enjoys his calling, but sometimes wishes he could be home a little more.

I work at Bingham Memorial Hospital in the Operating Room. I work only two days a week which has worked out well for us. I like the people that I work with and have made many friends there. I've really enjoyed my job, but wish I could be home with Dax full time.

Scott played city league softball this summer where he played pitcher and 2nd base. Some of the other things we did this summer were swim in the the city pool, camp, boating with friends and family and just enjoyed hanging out.

Do I dare? I'm going in.

What did you give me? I don't know about this.

Nope, definitely don't like limes!

Dax's hat

After a lot of time, frustration, and patience I am happy to announce that Dax's hat is finally finished. YEAH! It turned out really cute. It only took me 6 months to complete. My sister Amy was great to teach me and to help me out, even through the frustrations. It's kind of big but I'm hoping he can wear it through the winter. He kind of looks like a king with his crown on. What a cute boy!

I found pin covers at the hospital and put them on the ends of my sticks, because if I dropped another stitch his hat probably wouldn't have gotten finished.

Look mom no hands.

Dax has been putting things in his mouth lately and crawling

around with them in his mouth. He thinks he is pretty hilarious

or at least his mom and dad think he is.

Here's another picture of the same thing. Some of the objects that go into his mouth are blocks, pens (that's probably not the best idea), rubber fish, and toothbrush.
