Jake's little brother, Getu, decided that he wanted to raise chickens, so a few months ago, be bought some baby chicks and raised them. 
They are getting pretty big, and Tean loves to get food to feed them and to hold them.
When ever we go up there, one of the first things he says is, "I need to go see the chickens."
On the 4th of July we went to the parade here in Pocatello. While we were waiting for the parade to start, it started to downpour. 
Luckily we brought our umbrella and were sheltered from the wind and rain. It stopped just as the parade came along. Tean loved being able to get his candy. He loved waving his American flag. He had an awesome time at the parade.
All the girls made some flip flops. And we made tie snakes for the little boys. Tean loved his snake. 
We also did another 4th of July craft. We went swimming a lot at the pool. 
After getting used to his tube, Tean loved being in the water and having us push him around. 
Tean loved being around his cousins and holding Eilee. Jake played some tennis. We had lots of fun hanging out with my family. 
Tean loved being able to be outside all the time and playing in the rocks and the dirt. 
Jake enjoyed riding my brother-in-law's dirt bike. 
Tean loved playing with all his cousins, especially his cousin Brody. In fact, after he woke up one morning, the first thing out of his mouth was, "I need to play with Brody." We had a great time at Bear Lake with our family and missed those who couldn't make it.
We went miniature golfing. Tean loved hitting the ball (and kicking it). Tean would pick up the ball and then put it by the hole and then hit it in. 
Sometimes he would just drop it in the hole. There were also rides there to go on. 
Tean loved the dragon rollercoaster. We had to say that it was a train so that he would want to go on it, so he called it the dinosaur train. We went on it probably 10 times. 
There was also rollerskating. When we were there, we were the only ones on the rink. Tean even put on some skates and skated around with Jake. There was also a magician that came and performed. Tean had an awesome time there.
For the past school year, we have had Marta, a foreign exchange student living with us. On June 14, she went back to Spain. 
The night before, we hiked up Red Hill in Pocatello and went and saw the "I" on the side of the hill. We had a great time having Marta with us, and we'll miss her, especially Tean. The day after she left, Tean said that she was in an airplane and now he says that she is in Spain.
Last week, Jake's Dad's ward had a father and son campout, so Jake took Tean along to his first father/son campout. 
Tean loved being up there with his dad. They didn't get very much sleep. When they were putting up the tent, Tean was inside it and Jake pulled on the tent to stretch it out and it scared Tean, so when it was time to go to bed, he didn't want to go in the tent. Jake didn't start putting him to bed until 11pm, and then Tean didn't want to go in the tent, so he asked Tean if he wanted to sleep in Grandpa's car. Tean said yes, so Jake put the seats down and got the sleeping bag in there. Then, they laid down to go do bed, and Tean kept saying, no, here, and wanting to sleep in another spot. So it took a long time to go to bed. 
Then they woke up pretty early, so they only got 4-5 hours of sleep. Tean even helped them with their service project and carried the wood to the wood pile.
He had a great time up there.
At the beginning of June, our library had a sensory safari, the same one that we drove to American Falls to see. 
Once again Tean loved it. We went twice, once alone and once with his friend, Anna. Tean loved seeing all the animals and petting them.
This is what I saw when I came home from work today. Tean, sleeping standing up at the couch. Poor kid ended up being sick today. I feel so bad when he gets sick, but it does mean more snuggle time for mommy. 
When Tean sees our camera, he'll bring it to me and say "Smiles." So, yesterday we had to take a picture of him and his bear doing "smiles."
He loved to sit inside them. He thought they were the coolest things. He got mad every time that I took him out. 
Tean is sad here because I took him out of the fire truck to get a picture of him by the fire truck and he wanted to still be IN the fire truck, not sitting by it. Tean had a great time at the fire station with his friends. 
Isn't he cute with this little girl from the ward? He was so excited to go to the fire station with her, but sad that they didn't get to ride in the same car. 
Watch out Pocatello, here comes Tean driving the fire truck! 
On Saturday Jake, Tean, and I went to the fire station again. This time we went with Jake's little brother and sister and his mom. 
Tean had a great time going around with Getu and seeing all the fire stuff. 
He was even willing to put on his fireman's hat. He thought the real hats were a lot cooler than the hat that they gave him. Tean still didn't want to dress in the fireman's clothes. 
Tean with Sparky the dog. Tean kind of ignored Sparky. 
Tean also got to squirt the fire hose. He thought that was cool and didn't want to let go when he was done. Tean loved being at the fire house and loves it when ever he sees the fire trucks. We had a great time!
