Jeseppi's first time on a boat!!

We took Jeseppi boating while we were in Idaho. He has on the smallest life jacket I think I've ever seen! He did awesome! He didn't love his life jacket but handled it like a champ.

We both tried inline surfing, you start out with a rope and then when you get the feel for it, you can let go and just let the wave take you. It is so much fun! Mike and I both want to get better at it, although Mike picked it up really fast. It is really such a thrill!

Twin Falls Idaho!

Jeseppi has officially visited another state! We went up to Twin Falls Idaho to visit the Kinghorn's (they are are good friends from the village who just moved). We had a great time!

This is us on a big bridge that goes over the Snake River. We saw 11 base jumpers go off about 10 feet behind us. It was awesome to watch!

Pretty sunset!

We visited Jen's boss one night and she has a lot of animals. She has several horses, goats, dogs, cats, etc. Seppi pet them all!

We learned that Jeseppi really likes dogs!

Seppi's first time Swimming OUTSIDE! We Lathered him up with sunblock and played.

He was very tired after it all!

camping in the Uinta's

For the DePola Summer vacation we took the camper up to the Unitas and camped and fished!!

Mike, Jeseppi and I all slept on the top bunk

Barry Fishing. He was very concentrated!

It was a really cold weekend and EVEN SNOWED in August WHAT?

Jeseppi's first sight of snow. We were all a little bummed,

good thing we took the camper and not a tent.

Mike helped Molly and I get our lines ready so we could fish too.

Even Seppi Fished!

He Loves the outdoors!

Jeseppi's first fish!

Father-son outing!
So cute!

We all cought fish, but I think Mike caught the most.

Seppi Swimming!

Look how happy he is in the water! We went swimming again last weekend and this time he lasted a little over an hour! He's a little fish!

Fireworks and Swimming

On the 24th of July we went with some friends to Liberty park to watch the fireworks, Holy Cow they put on a good show it was about 35 minutes long but packed with great fireworks! We had great spots and a great view! I was a little worried of what Jeseppi would think of all the noise of fireworks but he didn't cry once. We all jumped when they started the fireworks because they started with 3 loud booms almost like gun shots. Jeseppi LOVED looking up into the sky and seeing all the bright colors, he cooed (so did I!! OO-AA) we were so close that we even had ash all over us by the time it was over. we had a great time!

The next night we went up to Logan to visit Mike's Grandma. We decided to go swimming in her community's pool with Jeseppi to see what he thought about the whole thing! We planned on him hating it and crying within 5 or 10 minutes MAX. He totally LOVED it! He lasted like 35 minutes and then was so tired that he zonked right when he was dried off. I'm telling you this boy is so easy going and so adventurous already (its a little scary!). He does LOVE bathtime. We took turns holding him in the water and he would go on his back and his belly, I think he liked his belly the best! He cooed and smiled and splashed and kicked! It was SOOO much fun, I want to go back to the swimming pool soon!

Sadly, I don't have any pictures to prove that these things actually happened (I am so mad at myself for not taking my camera.) but next time I will definately be ready with a camera.

The Love for a Monster!!!

Pure Joy, Need I say more? :-)
