Bring it on Sin City!!!

My brother, Tommy, got his LDS mission call to Las Vegas, NV! He reports to the MTC October 6th! He is going to be serving for 2 years in the desert heat while teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We are so proud of you Tommy!

(This pic wasn't taken when he opened his mission call, but on his 19th bday. He was visiting me and Jess from BYU-I...you think he'll lose the gun by the time he gets home?)

Family Pics (Catch up)

My sister, Whitney, took soooo many pictures while she was here for Bridget's wedding. She was so "pictured out", but we were lucky enough to get some family shots. Check out her website if you haven't seen any of her pictures. She is so good!

Some family shots:

Like I mentioned before, Crew LOVES his dad. I think these pictures say that pretty well...

Some pictures of the double cousins. I love this little girl.

I think that they're going to be best cousin buddies.

Love his eyes. oh ya, and his cheeks.

Bridget's Wedding (catch up)

July 21st my sister in-law and new brother in-law, Bridget and Tommy Rigby, got married in the West Jordan Temple. I love going to weddings. They really are so special. I especially love going to temple weddings because it really does a good job of putting my life into perspective. Their wedding was absolutely beautiful! We couldn't be happier for you two!

the freshly-married couple: so happy :)

stopping to strike a pose with the double cousins, payton and crew, (who sadly look not a bit alike).

my sister, Whitney, took all the pictures. Check out her website to see them! They look AMAZING.

Most of the grandkids. Boy was it a task to get them all together at the same time. Especially since there were 5 babies that were not. happy.

I was so worried Crew was going to cry and scream while I was inside the temple, but look at this happy boy! I need to have more faith in him.

If I were to tell you that that mini cooper in the background was mine, would you believe me?

Poor Crew zonked out at the reception...thanks Doug for playing daddy.

Lindon City Pool

For those of you that live close to the Lindon Pool, GET UP AND GO ALREADY! We had the funnest time taking Crew. It is decently priced and has so many fun things-even a lazy river just as good as Seven Peaks. It even has a few water slides and a separate kid area.

We couldn't really tell if Crew liked the water park (I think I was giddy for the both of us)...he didn't smile or laugh, just stared. oh well, at least he didn't cry.

I think it's about time I get a new swimsuit (and a tan)...3 years and going strong.

Both Jess and I took Crew down the big water slide. This picture was taken right before he went down with his dad. I was so worried he would choke on water or scream . It was so funny, he didn't even make a peep.

Below are some videos of the day. So much fun!

Eating with Crew...

...is hugely messy, although quite entertaining.

He got the "Baldwin-loving-licorice gene"...that's ok, more chocolate for me :)

Practicing his sippy skillz.

cant.

quite.

reach.

Boys and Girls...

...this is what happens when you get in a fight, or in Jess's case "break up a fight".

7 months

Crew is 7 months old. Gosh, WHERE does the time go? I was looking back the other day of some really little baby pictures of him, and he looks completely different. I thought he was so cute them, but this kid has got the cuteness thing down!!! This picture was taken by my sister Whitney Baldwin. At 7 months, Crew:

-Is SO good at eating his baby foods and big boy foods.

-Can FINALLY roll over!

-Still HATES being on his tummy...maybe that's why he has no desire to crawl.

-He still spits up everywhere...on the way to the church building on Sunday, *splat* right on the sidewalk where everyone was walking...I just walked away and pretended I didn't see.

-Still on his Prevacid.

-Loves to grab at everything. He dive bombs for any kind of paper in sight. This gets quite distracting in Relief Society when your neighbor has a bright purple piece of paper she is fanning herself with.

-He loves his dad...like seriously LOVES him. He is all wiggly and jumpy when Jess gets home from work.

I am one lucky girl to be his mommy.
