Finally Official

Yes, it is finally official!! My little sister is getting married and I can't believe it! Chad and Lindsay grew up in the same ward and Linds liked him for so long. We teased her about him in high school, then all through his mission, then he got home and came to his senses. They are great together cause he is just as crazy fun as she is.

Congratulations you two!!

Mater...........my 3rd boy.

Mater is getting big and this is his favorite place to be.

Itty Bitty Baseball

Canyon got to play baseball for the first time this year. It was so fun to watch him interact with the other kids. He was pretty good at hitting, better at throwing and struggled with running the bases. It was cute. (I know, these pictures are horrible. My camera sucked in the gym.)

This was the day............

When Crew was born I remember thinking that Crew was so little and Canyon was so big they would never be able to play together. They seem so far off in the beginning, but this was the day I actually started to realize they are going to be best friends and I love it. They are starting to play together, laugh together, feel left out when one is doing something the other wants to do, and fight together!! It is so fun to watch and I can, but can't wait tell they are older to watch them do more and more together.

I love being a MOM!!!

Look who's walking!!

Yep, Crewser! 13 months old and finally walking. It's funny how they are so close for so long then one day they decide their ready.

They are in love with dads hats

Thanks to his older brothers example

I couldn't help but laugh. He saw Canyon doing this one day, so he is now doing this. I love the cereal stuck to his forehead when he comes up.

Love the Summer

Random pictures of the first warm weather we had. My nephew Austin is the cute guy with my sunglasses on.

He did exactly what I told him to do.

Crew's 1yr stats

Crew weighs 21 lbs- 23%

Height 30- 67%

Head 31%

He has one tooth on the bottom, is almost walking, loves to eat, and is for the most part a very happy little boy.

We love you Crew!

Crew is 1

Crew turned 1 on April 2 and we had a little party for him. All of our family came to celebrate with us.

I have a lot of cake pictures so bare with me. I added commentary because I just knew what Crew was thinking. :)

"What is that light? Am I supposed to touch it?"

I know what your thinking, trust me. The cake was supposed to be orange because I intended on making a basketball but it flopped and so did the frosting. I couldn't bring myself to buy a cake that was just going to be torn into and thrown away. I should be embarrassed to show you, but I figure when Crew looks back it will be funny for him to see that his parents gave him the ugliest, coral color cake for his 1st birthday. O well.

"Is this a trick? They never leave food on the ground on purpose. What's going on?"

"Can I touch it?"

" I am just going to sit here and look at it. Why is it a coral color? I'm a boy."

"I'll taste it. Can't be that bad."

"Why is everyone standing around staring at me? What do you want me to do?"

"Oh gosh, they are making my touch it. "

"I am just so sad, my hands are dirty. "

"Now I am just plain pissed! Everyone is just sitting around watching me get my cake all over me and it is not funny! How would you like to be naked and showing all your fat rolls while covered in food? Get me outta here."

This was the final cake when he was finished. He was mad! Ha Canyon didn't want to touch his cake at one but he was a little more picky with what he ate and did. I really thought Crew would just dig in and eat as much as he could. It was fun for a minute.

After the traumatic cake, we opened presents. I got him this walker and he loves it.

"Now I am happy. When I am standing the rolls look much better."

:)

I know I am a dork.

My Boys

The heard the boys all laughing and came to see and this is what I found. They were playing with Mater.

I just love these guys.

As if a dog wasn"t enough to potty train......

Yes, I decided to potty train both Mater and Canyon at the same time. :) I figured while we were going to be home a lot we would try and do it. He has done really well but it will definitely be a process. We had him run around in his "big boy underwear" all day for a couple days. Thought he was pretty cool. ha

Newest member of our family

We got a boxer, his name is Mater. (like on Cars). He has been so fun to have around but a lot of work. Chewing on things, potty training, etc. He is only 7 weeks old so he is still a little clumsy. He loves Crew! He likes to jump on his back when he is crawling and bite his ears. I think he feels like he is the closest to his size, so he likes to pick on him. Canyon loves him, but is a little nervous around him when he is in the playful, jump around mood. ( Which is pretty much all the time.)

The bowl is huge. He won't be small forever.

Soldier Hollow

Jon's parents came in town from China for a week and this is one of the activities we did. You can't come to Utah and not experience the snow. :) This was our first time going there and I thought it was so fun. Canyon loved it.
