We celebrated John's Birthday a little early since family was in town.
Minnie was the one to break it. Way to go!
The guts of the Pinata!
John swings valiantly, but no luck.
Elvin had so much fun swinging at it!
John was showing Elvin how to do it.
Daddy's little helper.
While Elvin was "helping" John, I think he spit more than he blew. Luckily everyone at the party did not mind... I hope.
He got a new UofI shirt.
And some books and games that he had been wanting. Happy birthday John!
We went to the County fair this past weekend and had a blast. Elvin loved just looking at everything. He had fun doing this game.
The prize he chose...of course!...It's a "doggie".
I once caught a fish THIS BIG!!
The Pigs
The cows
And the sheep. He loved looking at all the animals. He kept doing their noises each time he saw a new one.
What does everyone think? The original plan was just to do a few flowers with vinyl lettering of "The Whetten Family", then I got carried away with the glue gun. I am still deciding if I like it or not. Leave a comment and tell me what you all think.
What does this remind you of? Ee er, ee er...
His first pair of underware! He has decided he wants to be potty trained. Still undecided if it is a good thing right now or bad. But he just looks so cute and was so excited to wear them.
The Butikofer's came for a short visit before we left for IF. Quin and Elvin were playing in this car and having so much fun.
The second day we were there, Elvin fell and hit his head just right. It was gaping and he looked so sad. This was the next day after I took off the bandaid. I had to give him a treat for being such a good sport. It took five stitches to close it!
Jimmy was being a great cousin and hailing all the little ones around. They had so much fun playing together.
June, Elvin, and Katie in the wagon.
Camden and his newest cousin. Stella is two weeks older. What a cutie!
Two heads are better than one! :)
Grandma Whetten and Camden. We are so excited that she is so much closer now.
He was just staring up at her so avidly, I had to get a picture of it.
Awww, how sweet is this. Elvin loves to give kisses to his baby brother. We just have to watch him because he gets VERY enthusiastic with him.
Here is John and Elvin at the park. I love watching my boys play together. Elvin just drags John around to each toy that he wants to go on. And if John doesn't move fast enough, Elvin will grab his finger to get him to move.
Elvin loves to swing with his daddy!
Elvin loves to go for picnics in the Park. He got so excited to be able to sit on the bench like a big boy to eat his lunch. He really wants to be a big boy! He also likes to show off his latest trick...every time his diaper comes off, he likes to show mom and dad how well he can pee and aim....
Elvin had some friends over to play and watch his favorite show on discovery kids... Hi 5. Lucas and Ethan have known Elvin since he was born from when we lived here before. They were all so excited to sit together and eat popcorn.
Check out that saggy diaper! He loves his little pool and this car. It has been so hot out that it has become almost a daily activity. Elvin loves the water.
Elvin Rey Whetten up close, and personal. We just did haircuts. Poor baby!
He is smiling for daddy.

Here is Elvin at our stop in Idaho Falls where his friend Quinton lives. They had a lot of fun catching up. They have not seen each other in a year! Elvin had a lot to babble about.
Quinton, Elvin and Elvin's cousins Creed and Piper. They all sat at the big kids table.
Elvin and his cousin Katie are racing up the stairs.
UH OH! Someone found the vacuum! His cousin Creed had a toy vacuum as well. Elvin prefered the real one. But then we had to fight to get it away from him!
We stopped in Manti UT at our friend's house. Jenny and Shem have three girls. Elvin was having a blast playing and dancing with them. Here they are at breakfast. Maddie, Abbie, and Emmy. Elvin is just living it up surrounded by cute girls!
Day after moving at Grandpa and Grandma's house in Flagstaff on the way up to Moscow ID to live so John can go to Grad school. My boys are all tuckered out!
Minnie took a quick family picture of us. It has been a long time since we have taken a family picture of us. And soon there will be one more addition!
There are my handsome boys! How cute they are.
