Birthday Boy

This bus was from Aunt Eliza. Crew picked it out all on his own. He can ride on it, push it, and dance to it.

We got him the red Dirt Devil vacuum. Vacuums are his favorite thing.

Of course dad had to get him something to do with sports. And Crew loves it.

Notice the Elephant slippers. He got those too.

More Birthday Pics

Glenda taught and helped me make the cakes.

Crew didn't quite go after it like we thought or hoped he would.

But he did enjoy the taste.



And this is all the damage that was done.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CREW!

I can't believe that 1 year has already passed. It seems like just yesterday that we brought Crew into our home. He has been nothing but a blessing and more fun than Dev and I ever imagined.

He has learned so much from his father. Including hard work. He's a great helper.


I love to read to Crew and I love it even more that he lets me and loves it too.


His favorite is when dad gets home from school or work. Forget mom and all her kisses it's boy's time.

Growing Up

Finally, my son has conquered the stairs. After over a month of pulling his body down each step he has caught on. Mom wasn't doing it for him he needed grandmas help. And after he got it last night he went down on his own. YEAH! Not only that but the last couple of weeks I have been amazed at how fast he is catching on to talking. After dada and mama he was saying ball and book, was that and was it, keke for monkey, vacuum, Za for his aunt Eliza, please, and even a little Spanish - mass which means more. And thats only to name a few. Note to dad: start watching your P's and Q's cause your son is following your every move.

B-Y-U COUGARS

We traveled to Utah over weekend to attend the BYU vs. UTAH football game. BYU walked away with the victory for the second year in a row. YEAH!

My wonderful friend Kim was also in town from Arizona. So after the game we met at the Garden. It's a restaurant at the top of the Joseph Smith Memorial building.

Then we enjoyed a cold but beautiful stroll around Temple Square to see the lights. Crew couldn't get enough of them.

Happy Thanksgiving

I know I'm a day early but we are heading to Island Park today were we will have no connection to the outside world. No cell phones, computers, or x box. Just a lot of food, lounging and spending time with family. I can't wait. Before I go I wanted to say how thankful I am for my all of you. I have such fabulous families and friends. I am surrounded by so many wonderful people. I feel so blessed to have such a hard working, loving husband. And for my little Crew who brings a smile to my face everyday. Especially for the gospel and the daily comfort I receive knowing who I am and what my purpose is in life. I love you all and hope you have a wonderful Turkey Day.

I will be home in time to feed you Dinner!

Crew i know that this picture was taken shortly after I feed you dinner for the last time. I know that according to your sweet Mother this would be the last time I get to feed you because of the mess we made. But since I was gone for a few days maybe Mom will let us have some fun one more time.

I dont know what to say here

This picture was taken recently. Now that the weather is cold we have to cover up Crew's feet with socks and shoes. As you can tell from the picture Crew isn't to sure about this new procedure.

So you think you can Dance?

I thought I would publish this video to the blog for all those family members who wont be able to make it home this Thanksgiving. The toy making all the tunes in the video is possibly Crew's favorite toy in the world. As you will see Crew has some pretty good dance moves. Crew is going to have a birthday November 29, 2007. Make sure you catch up to Rachel to know when and where the birthday party will be.

Nothin' but TROUBLE!

How many times in one day can you say NO to a child? I think it's about every other word out of my mouth. I use to think it would be so much easier to have Crew walking but boy was I wrong. Every cabinet has to be opened and every drawer emptied. He loves to watch the look that creeps on my face when he's getting into something he knows he's not suppose to. He loves to keep us on our toes.

Grandpa's Yard

Crew had a fun time last week enjoying the sunshine and exploring in Grandpa's yard.

He just had to taste test the hose.

He loves to find all the little places that he can squeeze threw that mom can't. Cause then of course he's getting away with something.

Hopefully he's not allergic to pine like his dad.

Another day with BOB

Crew and I were able to enjoy another wonderful day in the sun. BOB, our running stroller, was a huge part of our summer and fall. After taking Crew out in him nearly every day this summer, Crew took one of his final rides today. I'm not sure what we'll do summer of 08'. I can barely run while pushing Crew now. He's really going to miss it.

Thanks so much to Mama and Papa Belnap who gave us the stroller. Crew has been able to see and experience many great things from his rides.

Happy Halloween

We got together with some of my family to celebrate Halloween. This being the third time Crew has had to wear his costume. The good sport that he is he hardly fussed at all. And as you can see the head had to be modified with extra velcro and elastic in order to fit his well rounded head. As for Dev and I, we were tourist on a safari checking the hippo out. Were looking forward to next year when Crew understands the whole trick-or-treating thing better.
