Saturday was my sweet little baby boy's first Birthday. So exciting yet so sad. I have such a hard time letting them grow up. I love, love, love the newborn stage. Did I mention I love it! So fun! I do love to see them grow and learn and discover as well. But there is something so precious about newborns. So fresh from God. A little piece of Heaven here on earth. This year with Crew has gone by so incredibly fast. We sure love & adore this little guy. He is so sweet and usually mellow. He does like to tease and will totally go after Landen. Cody & Crew have had a special bond since day one. Anyway...moving right along! We celebrated Crew's Birthday at our home. It was just family and that was just perfect. I had so much fun decorating for his party. I made all the decorations & cupcakes, cakes, etc. We served dinner first then had cake & ice cream after. It was such a great night getting together with the family. We love and missed all of you who could not be there! Thanks everyone for all the gifts too!

Another milestone reached tonight! Crew can get up and stand all on his own now! He tries to walk but forgets to move his feet or takes one step, then down goes Fraser! He was so proud of himself. It was the cutest thing you ever saw. He would stand up then start clapping hands and squealing out in delight. He will be walking in no time! This boy is too cute!He is taking after his brothers in every way. They already have him digging in the dirt and crawling out into the road. He likes strawberry milk. Has a puppy stuffed dog that he loves to snuggle. He loves to destroy things. He gets water EVERYWHERE when taking a bath. He loves to read books and dance to music. Wants to be outside as much as possible. Likes Legos and Transformers- he has no other choice! I can keep going but instead I will let you enjoy some fun pictures of him from the past few days.

Last weekend was the Simcox family reunion down at Lake Powell. I have not been since Cody was 18 mo. old and had the opportunity to go. But I felt it would be more fun for Matt & the boys. I of course stayed home with Crew. In the past 6 years Matt has been to more of the Lake Powell family reunions then I have. Go figure! I am flattered that he enjoys my family so much that he still wants to go when I can't. They were down there for Sat, Sun. & Monday. It was a quick trip but fun none the less! Matt works so hard and is gone most of the week. He never gets much time alone with the boys. I was excited for them to be together all weekend. Boys need their Dad. They had beautiful weather and got lots of playtime in. They played in the sand all day long but took a few breaks here and there for tubing and the slide. Cody was the adventurous one. Landen who seems more adventuresome is not! He is still young-so we will give him that. Matt got some good pictures but if anyone else got some-like of Cody tubing-I would love to see them!
