Pictures From Our Week

Our days are pretty much always the same. Jon goes to work. I take care of the baby. He has a pretty set napping and bedtime schedule, it's just what happens between all those that make life interesting. We love to go on walks and we usually always play with the neighborhood kids once a day. If it's a day when Jon isn't working late, we spend the evening before Crew goes to bed with Daddy. We usually try to go somewhere or do something. Anyway, here are some pics from our week:

Naptime selfie on Monday. Crew will only nap if I rock him to sleep and lay right next to him. 

These neighborhood kids LOVE Crew. They were taking turns pushing him on the swing and ticking his feet. 

On Tuesday we had a little picnic outside with the kids. I brought out some carrots, bananas, crackers with ham and cheese, and cookies and we sat on a blanket and ate. They loved it and insisted we have a picnic every day! Yeah, I don't think so.

That night we took Crew to the Bean Museum at BYU. There really wasn't too much to see as they had closed down half of the museum for electrical renovations until December, but Crew loved it just the same. I think he's just happy as long as the three of us are together.

Since we didn't spend as much time at the museum as we had anticipated, we stopped over at a small pond on campus that had lots of ducks and turtles and we sat in the grass and just had fun being outside together. My phone died by then or I would have taken a picture. But we want to go back again soon!

On Thursday evening we went over to my parents house and played in their backyard, more specifically, on their trampoline. Crew laughed and smiled so big! I think we found his new favorite activity! I held him tight and bounced with him and he had a blast! 

Then Jon held him and he watched me do tricks which he thought were HILARIOUS. He laughed until he couldn't breathe! Ha ha. Such a silly little boy! Here is a video of took of Crew while I am doing a flip:

Friday night Jon had to work late but Crew and I attended the reception of Jon's cousin who got married earlier that day. It was mostly just an excuse to see Grandma and Grandpa who we hadn't see in a while. 

Crew loved all the attention he got, both from Jon's family and the other reception guests. He just ate it up! It was too bad Jon couldn't go, but I'm really glad Crew and I got to go!

On Saturday Crew learned a new trick--clicking his tongue! Little smarty pants. He loves doing it all the time now!

Central Utah Gardens

On July 30 we went to the Central Utah Gardens. We've driven by it all the time and have never gone so we finally just went one evening when we had no other plans! It was great because there was no one else there so we got the whole garden to ourselves and it was free! We really enjoyed walking around and looking at all the different plants and flowers. Plus, there were lots of nice places to take pictures which we took advantage of (as you can see below). We love spending time together, just the three of us. You can tell Crew loves it too. He is always so happy when we are together! There is always a definite change in his mood. Not that he is not usually happy, but he is just super excited when we are together. I can't really blame him. I love our little family!

Look at that face!

(Jon thought this pic would be hilarious)

Yes, I know I look gross. But Jon and Crew looked good so I'm okay with 2 out of 3.

July Photo Dump

He's really loving it when we go to the pool!

4th of July!

For the 4th of July we went to my parents house and had some food with some fireworks. Crew only saw a couple because his bedtime is before it gets dark. He wasn't that impressed though.

Sopping wet after Crew splashes me in the tub

I love this shirt.

Those perfect little chubby legs!

Chillaxin' with his feet up for a walk

I brought all our bubble toys outside. We are really getting to know the neighborhood kids! Every time we come out, they come running. They love to talk to Crew and he loves watching them play.

Our little neighborhood friends

Playing in the sandbox

He was so tired after the pool one day, he just laid in my arms daydreaming

We found a caterpillar in the sandbox. The neighborhood kids were fascinated watching it. I took it and put it in a jar and it lasted for a few days but then one day I gave it a little too much water and it drowned in a tiny puddle. Or so I thought. I took it out and laid in on the window sill and walked away. I came back to throw it out 10 minutes later and it was gone! Haven't seen it since.

He likes playing with food more than eating it

Sometimes you just have to roll around on the floor together

More neighborhood kids fun. They came in one day and had fun reading Crew's books.

Julie and Michael came down to visit from Ogden. We went up to the castle in Provo and fed the ducks and sat and talked. This was the only pic I got from that night.

Mamie bought him a new toy and he loves it! He likes knocking down the tower I build..

Thinking about crawling. A little bit. Just thinking about it,

Macho man!
