8 Months!

This bushkin is 8 months! Isn't he turning into such a little man??? This might sound bad, but I think by 8 months I actually enjoy staying at home with him (as opposed to wanting to escape from constant crying.) He is just the cutest. He is my best little buddy. There's nothing better than feeling needed. We love him.

At 8 months, CREW:

-Started crawling! (well scooting). On August 31st (his 8 month birthday) he did his first scoot and Jess and I pretty much did cartwheels (yes, we're first time parents).

-His bottom two teeth have sprouted (around 7.5 months).

-He has mastered his pincer grasp while chomping down his cheerio treats.

-Still LOVES his daddy.

-LOVES LOVES LOVES dogs. He cracks up whenever one gets close to him. (Too bad his mom is a dog hater).

-LOVES stuffed animals

-Recently has begun to cry himself back to sleep when he wakes up in the middle of the night. I hate hearing him cry, but we all get better sleep that way.

-Tries his very hardest to pull himself onto things, but still can't muster the strength/balance.

-His cheeks are still chubby.

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!
