July

Wow July was a busy pack month. New baby, birthdays, anniversary, Greg going to Scout Camp, and holidays with the family.
This was Calvin's first 4th of July. It was a busy day for us all. Probably did to much. I was hurting the end of the day. But it is what I love to do. First we tried to get to the parade in Provo (next year we will for sure make it) we just missed it, so we went to the booths in downtown Provo. My favorite part, but it wasn't as good. Not sure if it was due to me not up to myself or that there was a crazy amount of people. So we walked around and eat lunch then went home for a couple of hours. Then we went to my Parents' house to set some fireworks off. The kids loved it. It was worth the rain we had.


We had fun with the sparklers! Hehe... could you tell? Then we got the big ones out.


Here is all of us, it was a little cold, but good. At this moment it wasn't raining. Here are our fire starters. Lol



Here are the oo's and ahh's of the night.



That was our Fourth and we all really enjoyed it.

Jasen and Calvin were buds from the beginning. When Calvin is older I might be just a little worried. They are so cute together. They are Bros all the way.


Now that we have had a new addition to our little family. We got the chance to get new family photos taken. Super cute I love them so much. Here is all of them, but here are some. :)





Calvin was a little stinker. He was having a hard time at this new life. Just a couple weeks old and Calvin had to get his tongue clipped he was tongue tied. Poor thing I am just glad we had it taken care of when he was young. Since he was tongue tied he had a difficult time nursing so we had to fix that. But my little man just would cry and cry. In September I finally got him on anti reflex medicine and it worked, wish we could had done it from the start. I wonder how he would have been then. But I love him, he is teaching me patience. I need lots of patience.Well since it was summer time we spent a lot of time out side. I am so grateful for our backyard. I could just sit on my back patio and watch the kids play. They loved it.


The next couple of weeks was super busy. Greg and I celebrated our 5th year anniversary. He is the love of my life. My other half, I love everything about him. When he doesn't know it I could be caught staring at him. Not sure What I would do with out him. I told me not to get me anything and he got me this.


The following week Greg got the chance to attend Scout Camp with his Scout from our ward. I have some photos I need to get them on the computer first. He had a great time, but I was glad when he got home. While he was gone Jasen turned 2 years old. I couldn't not do something for him on his day so we made a cake, sung to him and let him open some presents.



His Cake!! He just couldn't stay away from it.


One day when I can figure out how to upload a video I will post it, until then Jasen was having a ball by licking his cake.


When Greg got home the following Sunday we celebrated Jasen's birthday with the rest of the family. He got lucky. He was just smile after smile while opening his presents. Thank you for all that came.

The present that he loved the most was Mr. Cow that Uncle Ty and Aunt Melissa gave him. He takes it everywhere with him.


He really enjoyed his birthday. I am glad. Next month we will be blessing Calvin and celebrating my birthday. Glad to share those experiences.

June Baby Time!

June was a fun, overwhelming, emotional, joyful, and life changing. To start off the month I wanted to put Mckenly in some program to get her out of the house and do something new. So I put her in a dance class. She loved every minute of it. Although she does need to work on her balance. She was a cute little dancer. Jasen also wanted to go to dance class. Haha... some days he did more then Mckenly did.


At 3 1/2 weeks left in my pregnancy I was told I was diallated to a 2 and at 70%. I was hoping for baby probably within next two weeks, but that didn't happen. At my next appointment I was ready for Calvin to come. I was told I could schedule my inducing day for the 27th. I was so happy to here that. I just really wanted Calvin in our lives. A couple of days before the kids and I were invited to go to the Gardens at Thanksgiving Point with Amber and her children. (sorry I need to be better at taking pictures) We saw a few fun things that the kids loved.


Now it is baby. On the day that Calvin was born, we were told that we would get a call from the hospital and they would tell us when to come in. We got that call at 6:00 am "We are ready for you." I told her we would be there as soon as we could. We were still in bed and I need to get up and ready. My mother came up to the house since the kids were still sleeping and we were off. After all the paper work and poking of needles they stated my Potocin at 8 Calvin James Rentschler was born at 3:18pm. It was a great experience. We had the privilege of having Tamera Brown our photographer. Here is her link.
She was there like 30 seconds before Calvin came out. Here are some previews and Here is were you can see the rest.



The kids were excited to come see there new baby brother. They got to see him through the glass before Calvin got his bath.


Then they came to see mommy. I missed them.


Then Daddy and Baby


We had lots of visitors, but we loved them :)


The stay was great. I got a few pictures of him myself. He was so stinkin cute. I just couldn't help myself.


When we got home we had a few more visitors. Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa Dorius came to see baby.



Then Great-Grandma Ewell.


What a crazy life, but we have fun.
