One of Crew's favorite things to do when he comes to Daddy's office is push buttons on his calculator! This other picture is to show the family that Crew is crawling and crawling very fast. As for Rachel and I life is very relaxed and slow. The weather in St. George has been rainy and lightning has dominated the skyline this past week. We are looking forward to August and our move back to Idaho Falls. School starts in September and my schedule is packed in hopes of graduating this year.
As you can see from the pictures the littlest things make Crew laugh. Rachel and I can't believe how fast he has mastered crawling. You all need to check out how fast this kid can move. Especially if you consider a few days ago Crew was just getting the hang of the crawling on all fours technique. If crawling wasn't enough Crew is climbing! Walls, couches, kitchen cabinets, and anything that he can put his paws on he some how finds away to stand up. I predict that he will be walking soon. Yesterday he had his first hard fall. He was trying to stand up using the island in the kitchen then he fell and his head crashed into the floor. I thought he was going to have a huge black eye, but he doesn't. Sorry about the windows Grandma we will clean them before we leave.
All right. Crew is growing up way too fast. For those of you that haven't seen him you better hurry before he is walking. Just in the last two days he started waving, sitting up from his tummy, and standing when you only hold one of his hands. Also the hair on the back of his head started standing up. Make sure you zoom in on the pictures when Crew is standing up in his crib so he can see a great example of a white knuckle grip. It is incredible how fast he learns and how much he loves to play. Rachel and I love him so much.
Saturday Rachel, Crew and I took off on a two hour car ride to see the famous Grand Canyon. It was just like the pictures. Sadly after a few hikes we weren't that impressed and ended up leaving early than we planned. We would have to say that Zion National Park was our favorite Park visit of the Summer so far. The views are incredible but you can only stand and stare so long if you know what I mean. I think the problem is with the North Rim the lodge and visitor center are located in such a good spot that you can experience the North Rim of the Grand Canyon from one spot. Unlike Zion's where you have to get out and move up and down the Valley to see the entire park.
Also we weren't prepared to hike for days into the Canyon itself. I guess the South Rim of the Canyon is were you want to go for that anyways.
Also Rachel surprised me with a hair cut when see came back from SLC on Friday. I love it!
Hey everyone. The weekend and national holiday are now over. Highlights from the week are seeing family, family, and more family. I think we saw almost all of our brothers and sisters. We also managed to see all of my grandparents and Rachel's Grandma. Good times. Crew really enjoyed family and all of the love and attention he received. Thanks for loving us. Here are pictures from the weekend. Two of the pictures are of us watching the Fire work show in Idaho Falls. The other picture was taken Sunday after church. Crew for some reason loves eating his tie. He had that tie stuffed in their as seen in the picture for over twenty minutes
