UPDATE...bc I haven't posted in a year

Summer 2011:

1. July 2011: Beaver, UT.  Jess took Crew down to Beaver for Pioneer Day.  Bridget and Tommy tagged along, because if I remember correctly, this lady had to work.  

2. July 2011, Attended an *unofficial* Baldwin Reunion. We went up to Tyler Bye's family's cabin in Heber. HUGE cabin, TONS of people. It was fun.  

Mr Crew was obsessed with using rocks as baseballs. scary.

Ivy Lou, Easton, Hannah, Olivia.

Chilling around the fire

I'm pretty.

3. August 2011:  Went up to Idaho to see Grandma and Grandpa Sparks. Visited with grandparents, aunt/uncle, cousins.  Good times.

Had a looong layover in Boise and had some fun at the airport. 

 Went on Papa's boat. Rode on the tube with Olivia, was afraid I was going to damage my spinal cord (dang, nursing).

Ran around and went to a pretty sketchy "zoo".

Fall 2011:

September 2011: Jess went back to school. (NOT me!)

October 2011:

          Got a new car! 2007 Ford Edge. We love it!

          Halloween festivities included crew throwing up in our new car, going to the ward Trunk or Treat, 

 Attended Haley and Tyler's annual Halloween party. 

November 2011: Made a quick visit up to Idaho to visit family and then Thanksgiving spent at Baldwin home. Orem, UT.

Winter 2011

December 2011: Crew went to see Santa and was sooo excited to wrap his arms around him. HA! I could not restrain him enough. Christmas was spent in Orem this year.  I actually had to work a lot this holiday season, but I would rather pay my "dues" when Crew is little.  The overtime was nice though!  I was soooo tired on Christmas but it was a blast to watch Crew open up all his gifts  and get really excited. I also managed to make my mom's french toast bake. Delish!

We had a great time going up to Riverwoods shopping center. It was so incredibly cold, but worth it. Crew kept telling Santa that the fire was "hot". 

His favorite presents BY FAR were the puzzles and the stacking blocks.  

We got to talk to Elder Sparks and it was fabulous!

Elder Sparks and his companion got to have dinner with one of Jess's best friends, Aaron Lancaster.  His family lives in Henderson, NV where Tommy was serving. SMALL WORLD!!!

       Crew's 2nd Bday: Dec. 31, 2011    

 Crew is now 2! We had a birthday party with the family and mom ordered a

Yo Gabba Gabba cake per his request. 

       

Taking a swipe @ the cake before we sang.

January 2012: Kind of a dull month. Laura turned 18! We had a surprise party for her. It was awesome.

Crew got to play in the snow and help make his first snowman. 

February 2012: I got so so so so so sick. Spent Vday in the hospital. Boo.

Took a week's hiatus and traveled up to Idaho for Phoebe Faye's blessing. Got some fun bowling in. From that day forward Crew has been obsessed with bowling and continues to call bowling ball, "boinka ball". I turned 28 while we were visiting as well. WOW!

After the trip I went back to work, but then got so so so so  so sick again. Back to the hospital.

March 2012: Still sick....had surgery.  Mom came into town to help with Crew. Getting better. Sick again!!! Hospital again!!!

April 2012: Home again, no more hospital stays!

EASTER: He loved the concept of finding eggs or "eggies". He loves candy so of course he had a ball. 

Sorry, Crew, no pic with the Easter Bunny this year.

 After Easter, went back to work, moved out of our place in Provo and Jess tied up another semester.

May 2012: Still healthy :) Weather is turning "summerish". Working like dogs. House hunting!!! Jess working full time @ assistant mgr at American Eagle. Lacy still works at Trinity Mission Health and Rehab as an RN :) Phew! Any questions?
