Christmas and the New Year

Crew and Cody on Christmas Eve

Cookies and a letter for Santa

 

Crew in front of the tree with his King Car, the only thing he asked Santa for. Not even 3 hours later and he left it in the gas station in Cedar on our way up to Grandma and Grandpa Eldredge's house. Lucky for Crew, Santa was able to get Crew a new one.

Coloring book he got from G&G Fonnesbeck

Crew in his pink snow clothes. They were the only ones we could find at DI, but they kept him warm and dry and that is all that matters.

Outside of my parents house be fore we left to so sledding. Crew loved it he was a total dare devil. he wanted to go down the big hill all by himself. He was such a trooper he hiked back up the hill no problem. I didn't get any pictures of us sledding but my Dad did I will see if I can get some from him. We had a great time at my parents house we were there from Christmas day until the sat after New Years. It was great we partied nearly everyday with family Christmas parties and Ben's 13th Birthday and New Years.

i went pee-pee on the potty...

It is official our little Crew is now a BIG BOY! He is doing a pretty good job with it he has only had one pee accident in his underwear, we are still working on going #2 in the potty but he will get there. He gets so excited every time he goes potty! we do the potty dance, and sing "went pee-pee in the potty!" and he gets to put money in his piggy bank. How cute is he?! 

{now if only they made the undies a little smaller like just a 2T not a 2-3T}

they sag a little bit and we have to roll the waist band over. He loves his Lighting McQueen and Buzz Lightyear ones. 

Halloween {just a little late}

Listening to the rules to the Candy game

Making the traditional Haunted Houses

Aunt Mindy and Grandma did a great job with the party this year. Mindy made spooky snacks like mummy dogs, bones and blood, and cheese fingers. They played games and decorated our haunted houses.

...................

Then on Halloween night we went to the Washington City Trunk-or-treat,with our best buddies the Mortensen's, which was a complete bummer {not the Morty's the trunk-or-treat}. I could not believe the amount of moochers that showed up... So the point of  a trunk-or-treat is, you had out candy from your trunk and then you go to the other trunks and get candy right, well we got there about 10 min before it was supposed to start and there were only about 3 other cars that were set up to give out candy. We got all set up and people started showing up, not to give out candy but to get candy. ARE YOU KIDDING ME, only 5 cars actually showed up to give candy and about 2000 people showed up expecting candy, then they had the gall to get mad at us when we said we were out of candy. We were so bugged so we packed the kids up in the cars and headed out to find a neighborhood to go door to door in.

At the BYU Game at UNLV we had a great time!

If you couldn't tell Crew loves cars of any kind he loved this yellow "race car"

He also love the "rocket ship place" {the mall} He love any and all mall rides kind of gross but if it keeps him happy for the rest of the time at the mall {bribery never hurt anyone, right?}

Crew at Fiesta Fun after his hole-in-one

1 year ago...

One year ago today we closed on our house. We can not believe how fast this year has gone by. it still feels so new, we are so thankful to have a home. We are loving it here and love the neighborhood and our ward. So of course we went out to celebrate our "ANNIVERSARY" at cold stone. we will take any excuse to "CELEBRATE"!

Also Crew turned 2 1/2 today! YEAH!



Now if we could only get him to go on the potty! He is getting so big and he is so smart! We started a mommy and me class this month and he loves it, he tries to learn the songs, hand motions and dance moves. He loves to ask questions like, "where did that come from?", "what comes next?", and "what are you doing?". He also likes to tell anyone and everybody "My mom's Annie" or "my Dad's Cody" He also tells me all day "my dad's Cody, at work, his school, football work." He is constantly talking, sometimes he will say the same word or phrase over and over again, we have to tell him "crew, say something else now" he sounds like a broken record. We love our little chatterbox.

this kid has the best memory

{just a cute picture of my little man}

Last week Crew was in my room watching a cartoon while I was getting ready for the day. When I was getting dressed He walked over to me and this is the conversation that took place.
Crew:"what's that for?" {pointing to my chest}
Me: {thinking} "okay do I tell him it's nothing or tell him the truth" (I decided to just tell him what they are and what they do.) I said,"well they are called Breast and only girls have them, and when they are mommies they have milk in them to feed the baby."
Crew: "can i try them?"
Me: "no you can't and shouldn't touch any until you are married."

That was the end of that conversation, but fast forward to yesterday, Crew and I are in Costco and trying out all of the samples. He calls it "Costco Day!" One of the samples was cereal, with out the milk. I handed it to crew and said...
Me: "try this Crew it is Cereal, but with no milk in it."
Crew: {pointing at my chest} "get some milk there?"
Me: {laughing} "no Crew there is not any milk in there, and it is only for babies."

He Cracks me up most of the day and amazes me with the things he remembers.
