CrEw'S bLeSSiNG...

This Sunday Crew was finally blessed. He was almost too big for his blessing outfit! I don't know why we always wait so long? We had the blessing at home. Matt was the one to perform the blessing. I am so proud of him. This is his first time ever doing this. In the past we have had his Dad do it. My brother Tye, Step-Dad Dan and our Bishop Beck were in the circle. Matt did an amazing job. Crew did great. He didn't even cry. It felt great to finally have that done. After the blessing we all met up at my aunt Peggy's house. We had Sunday dinner with all the cousins. It was a great evening! Landen was around he just would not let us take his picture. Goober!

So things have been going relatively good around my house. But this past few days I have had three sick kiddos. Not bad sick, just runny noses, ear aches, coughing, and whining. Things are getting better. Cody seems to be over the worst part. Landen just has a major runny nose and Crew, who is usually a very mellow, chill baby, has been very cranky. He has cried so much the past few days. This is not normal for him so it has been hard for me trying to figure out what may be bothering him.

I am also home bound. I have not had a car for 2 weeks now! It has been good, as far as me going out and shopping. But I am really getting sick of not being able to just go when I want to. Matt and I did get all of our Christmas shopping done last weekend. It was so fun shopping for the boys. I get so excited and want to buy them everything. Good thing we had a set limit that we could not go over!

Over the weekend we also went to my cousin Swen's home and had dinner with him and played the Wii. That was so fun. Cody was so good at it. I did not give him enough credit. I for some reason thought he might not understand how it all works. I was way wrong! And my sis-in-law Shari was so fun playing too. I have to admit that was the craziest I have ever seen her get! She kicked butt and beat everyone at Wii Bowling!

Last Friday my brother Tye graduated from the police academy. That was very exciting. I am very proud of him. He is now highway patrol. So all you in Colorado better watch out!

On Dec. 5th Crew had his 2 month check up. Hi now a whopping 12lbs. 9oz. ! I feed my babies very well! He is smiling all the time. Loves his brothers! They are always in his face singing to him. Landen loves to sing the Apple Bottom Jeans song to him (a.k.a. Low by Florida) Cody makes a new song up every time. Crew can hold his head very well. Is starting to roll over one way. Is trying to laugh. You can get a little squeal out of him sometimes! We have also given him TWO hair cuts now! One on Dec. 1st then again on Dec. 12th!




We had a snow day on Tuesday. The boys have been wanting snow so bad! This is the first time we have had enough snow that they could actually go out and play in. Cody has no snow pants so I put mine on him. It was so funny. They were huge! I had them rolled up, tightened up and folded up much as a I could. But they were still bulging out all over. He Kept telling me that he looked so crazy! But they worked and that was all that really mattered to him.






We got a surprise visit from Grandpa Jay Monday night. It was great to see him. The boys go absolutely crazy when he is here. I always feel a little bad for him. He walks in the door and gets bombarded by them. He played with them until Matt got home then Matt and Jay worked on the Eclipse. They were able to get the brakes fixed but Matt still has a little work left to do on the car before he can start driving it again!
P.S. Be sure to check out my Mom's blog. She is always putting up cute pictures of the boys that I don't have or get around to putting up!

We usually put Crew in the shower with Matt. It just works better and Matt can spend some time with Crew. But today me and the boys gave him his first bath in the kitchen sink. Cody was the photographer and Landen was my helper. Notice the pink spoon! That was him helping!? I don't know either. Crew was so cute. He seems to love the water. All my boys have. It was some "GoOd ClEaN FuN!!!"

I just want to start by saying I know there is a million pictures but I could not narrow it down! So just enjoy!























We had a great Halloween! Cody was so excited to wear his costume to school for the parade and party. He was so cute! This year he was Batman. We borrowed his costume and it is way to big for him but he did not care and there was no talking him out of it! Landen was a pirate. Also borrowed. I do not buy costumes. I can't shell out the money for one night. So we like to borrow! That does however narrow down their choices. Landen did not want to be a pirate. But once the day came he was all about wearing his costume. He turned out to be a very cute pirate and his shaggy hair was perfect for it! For Halloween night we went trick or treating around the neighborhood. It is crazy here. There are so many kids. I have never lived in a place like this. It sure makes it fun though! The weather was great. Crew slept in the snuggly the entire time. Oh, he was a teddy bear. Very cute! It was fun showing him off to everyone. When we would go up to houses with scary decorations Landen would turn around and say to me, " I'm not afraid Mom. It's not scary!" Too funny. Cody was always a house or two ahead of us. He had no patience and hated when I would stop and talk everyone. Matt had to work late so he missed out again. He missed last year too. Good thing I have good friends to go with. We stopped about 7pm and headed home to hand out our candy. Cody was so into this. He would get all sad when a few minutes would pass and no one had come. We ended Halloween night with the boys throwing candy all over the living room. When I said something about it to the boys Landen said to me, " it's the candy forest!" I had to laugh. We extended our Halloween fun to Sunday. We had a Halloween/birthday celebration. It was so fun. We were celebrating Shari's, my Mom's and Dan's birthdays. My Mom had he place all decorated. The boys wore their costumes. We had a delicious dinner. Cody won the guess how much candy is in the jar game! We took goofy pictures. Enjoyed yummy cheesecake. And had a great time being all together. I love so much having my Mom close by. She makes the holidays so fun! Oh, and today is Crew's ONE month birthday! Holy cow that went fast!
