Bathtime Fun

Tonight when I gave Tean a bath, he thought it was so funny when I splashed him with water. He usually doesn't play during bath time, he just kind of tolerates the bath, but tonight he was loving it.

McKee's Petting Zoo

Last week I took Tean to our city's "zoo." There is a real zoo in Pocatello, but you have to pay to go to it and McKee's Petting Zoo is a lot better and it's free! It's our city's pet store and they have lots of animals to see. They even had a camel, but it died a couple years ago. They have a monkey, some ostriches, emus, a yak, pigs, goats, horses, llamas, chickens, lambs, bunnies, dogs, birds, and lots of other animals. He didn't seem super interested in the animals, but I'm sure he'll love this place when he gets older. He thought the monkey was pretty funny.

4th of July

This is the first year we have been in Pocatello for the 4th of July. In the morning we decided to head to the parade. Tean loving to show off balancing on his daddy's hand Waiting for the parade to start It was a pretty cool parade for being a fairly small town. There were a lot of cool old cars that were in the parade that were driving across the country. Tean seemed to enjoy it. At least he was in a good mood during the whole parade. Afterward, we went to Jake's parent's house, where Jake helped his dad work on building his deck. I tried to take Tean swimming, but he was crying a lot and tired, so we'll just have to try another time. That evening, we were going to roast marshmellows, but it started raining like crazy. Today when we went to church there were still big piles of hail from the storm the night before. On our way home from Jake's parent's house we saw a really pretty rainbow. There was a double rainbow, but you can't really see the second rainbow in the picture I took. Luckily, the rain stopped in time for the fireworks. We went to our neighbors down the street to watch them, because they had a better view than at our house. There are too many trees at our house that block the view. The fireworks were really neat. It used to be the biggest show in Idaho, but now I guess Idaho Falls is bigger. We had a great 4th of July, celebrating the great country that we live in.

Fort Hall Fireworks

On the 3rd of July, Fort Hall had free hot dogs, drinks, an Elvis impersonator and fireworks. It was a pretty good show and not that bad of food. The fireworks were awesome, too. Tean did great there. He fell asleep before the fireworks started and slept all through them. He woke up when we were putting him in the car. We were going to buy some illegal fireworks on our way home (the perks of living close to an Indian Reservation), but Tean was getting kind of mad, so we decided to just go home. I forgot to bring our camera (I had it with me until we left), so all we have is a picture of Tean all ready to go in his car seat.

Tean Standing

Our little Tean is growing so much! Here he is standing by himself holding onto the couch.Just yesterday Tean was able to stand on Jake's hand and balance. He's growing so fast!
