November 2015




We're having a baby BOY in April!
these 2 aren't so sure about adding another boy to the family...
Calvin says no every time I asked if he wants a little brother
it might take some adjusting but they are going to be best friends!


Enzo might actually be relieved once the baby comes..
then Cal will have someone new to pick on


 even though Cal yells "no Enzo" countless times a day
he really does love his dog so much



we had Lynn take some pictures for us
it snowed the day before so Silver Lake was so pretty!







 goodness I love my little family so much!!





Eric and I got to go to Europe for 10 days this 
month with Lynn and most of the other Blodgett siblings


we flew straight to Paris


we shopped and ate some really yummy food that first afternoon in Paris
our first night we were all way tired but we decided to walk to the Arc de Triomphe
which was a short walk down Champs-Élysées from our hotel 
we climbed the 284 steps to the top of the Arc 
and had the most amazing view of the Eiffel Tower


we all went to bed early and had big plans for Paris the next couple of days...
which were cut short because there were some major 
terrorist attacks that night near our hotel!


so we headed to Normadie the next morning 
and stayed in this beautiful chateau
with an a amazing view of the beach 


we drove to Omaha beach + Auderville


the French countryside was absolutely beautiful!
It was like nothing I had ever seen before and I think it was my favorite part of the trip


after a couple days in Normandie we took the Chunnel to London to meet the rest of the family who couldn't get into France


we did a lot of sight seeing that first night


London Eye


Big Ben



we spent way too much time at Harrods
ate way too many macaroons + chocolate croissants 
did a lot of shopping and walked the rainy streets of London



we fell in love with London 


Next stop: Scotland 
we flew in to Edinburgh and stayed in North Berwick  


we stayed in Fenton Tower
which was a legit old castle
it was so cool!



had way too much fun with these sisters! 




we spent our last afternoon in Edinburgh 
and it did not disappoint!
the buildings and architecture were like none other


After being gone for a week I was ready to go home to Calvin
I missed him so much! 
We are so lucky to have family close by that watched him while we were gone-
I don't think he even missed us!
We are also lucky to have a family that loves to travel
what a great trip!


we spent Thanksgiving at the Haywire 
we drove up in a white out 
and woke up to a foot of snow!
the snow made for a Thanksgiving we won't forget
sledding, tractor and horse rides, delicious food and fun times with the cousins!









 We are so happy the holidays are here!

October 2015




we started off October with a fun trip to Lake Powell
i was nervous taking Calvin but we had a great time!
he lived off candy and treats for the weekend



never wanted to take off his puddle jumper
was the center of the cousin dance parties every night
took the best boat naps
was obsessed with the drone
and was brave enough to get in the water 
even though it wasn't the warmest Powell trip








Calvin has become quite the dare devil on his trike
he gets going to fast down the driveway it scares me!
 he loves to ride it all the way down the street and back



we took a quick trip to Malad with our friends 
(we missed the Mulcocks and Abby so bad!)
played games, shot guns, ate Me & Lous and had a lot of fun!
Calvin talks about Ella every day (no joke)
so he was so happy to get to play with her in Malad


 he is currently obsessed with apples 
so being able to pick an apple off a tree and eat it pretty much made his whole life change.. 
he now thinks all trees have apples and wants to pick them haha





Cal has loved all the "put puts" and ghosts around for Halloween this month



he was the cutest little monkey but he would not keep his monkey hat on!



we went trick-or-treating at Goldman the day before Halloween 
I wish we could visit Eric at work more often!




on Halloween we trick-or-treated down our street,
Cal got a sucker at the first house + kind of lost interest after that haha
suckers are his favorite candy for sure 


 


he loves papa's trains


he will do just about anything for some ice




Calvin is defiantly your typical toddler who throws random tantrums
he's a picky eater
he's attached to his mama like crazy
he chases Enzo around + laughs at him all day
loves being outside
could go down the same slide 100 times a day
he started nursery this month and has stayed the full 2 hours a couple times
not going to say he loves it but at least he stays!
he learns new words every single day
current favorites: ambulance, dunk, trick-or-treat + candy
he is still just the sweetest little boy full of kisses and hugs who we love so much!!
