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!

My Little Boy

Just wanted to put some cute pictures of Tean up because it has been a long time since I've put pictures of him on here. He sure is growing! Isn't he so handsome?

Tean's Girlfriend

So we have some friends that had a baby girl a few weeks after Tean was born. One day they were over playing games with us and we had them laying by each other to play. They reached out and grabbed each others hands so it looked like they were holding hands. When the baby girl started crying, Tean put his had on her shoulder, so it was like he was comforting her. It was pretty funny, but we had to watch them because Tean would shake his toy really hard, so we had to make sure he didn't bop her in the face.

Movie Reviews

So I haven't been doing very well at reviewing movies at the bottom of my blog, but I'm going to try to be better at it, so keep checking if you're wondering about a movie to watch.

Baptisms and Blessings

We had a great weekend with Jake's family, and even though I had my camera with me the whole time, I didn't take any pictures:( Jake's little brother and sister got baptized on Saturday! It was neat to see them take this step in their lives. They really have learned a lot since they have arrived here.
On Sunday we went up to Idaho Falls to see Jake's older brother Josh bless his baby. They had a baby boy in April. While we were there, Tean rolled over! He also was able to hold onto the bench at church and stand all by himself. Tean is growing so much! We are loving watching him change and grow and learn new things.

Free Root Beer Floats

Tonight from 8pm-midnight, Sonic is giving away free root beer floats to kick off summer! I'm not sure if it's at all the Sonics, but it's free so you might as well go try!

Tean 4 months

Tean had his 4 month appointment today.

Height - 24 1/2" (33 percentile)
Weight - 13lbs 5 oz (33 percentile)
Head - 17" (75 percentile)

I hope he grows more and takes after his dad more than me in height and weight. He's laughing and smiling a lot. He can sit up with support. He's trying to roll over, but hasn't quite gotten it yet. He's so very close to doing it. He's a little jabberbox. We're having so much fun with him!!
