Adoption...



Here we go... so after nearly 3 years of trying, medication, surgery, artificial insemination, ect. ect. ect. we have decided to put all our focus on adoption. We are SO excited. we are just in the beginning stages and it will still be about 3 months before we are totally approved and our profile will be able to be viewed by birth mothers.

We are going through LDS family services so if you know of anyone who is thinking of placing their baby up for adoption please let them know about us, we will love you forever! Once we get approved we will have a link on the side of our blog  to go straight to our profile. We can hardly wait to be able to grow our family and give Crew the blessing of a sibling and all that comes with that.

serious slacking going on around here....

okay ...I am so far behind I could never catch up so this picture overview will have to do. These are in no particular order. hopefully I can narrate some of the pictures.

 March 17th Crew turned 4 years old! we had a Despicable Me party. My Mom, Dad and brother Ben came down for Crews b-day and for Ben's baseball tournament. My mom made the cutest pin the eyeball on the minion game but of course we didnt get a pitcure of the kids playing it.
 Blowing out his candle
 The cake my mom and i made.
 trying sushi for the first time. he sorta likes it. he does love miso soup though.
 April easter egg hunt in town, mass chaos and over in about 12 seconds.
 with daddy
 all his boy cousins that live here in STG.
 We went to the Art Festival later that day, Crew wasn't to fond of it except for the kids area. He was nervous to get his face painted at first so we made a few crafts then walked around and looked at all the art, got a snowcone and on the way back to the car He decided to get his face painted. he wouldnt tell the girl what he wanted and wouldnt even look her in the eye. After though he thought it was the coolest thing ever.
 the baseball he finally decided on.
 easter egg hunt even later that day at The Fonnesbecks. Where the kids got more candy than they did at Halloween. it was kind of ridiculous
                                      

 showin off our bunny teeth
 haha these things are pretty hilarious
 Easter morning {please ignore is mismatched jammies it was laundry day.}
 crew and dad next to crews basket
 making eggs

the final product and a super handsome boy.
  We went to Vegas in March. We stayed at The Stratoshpere, went to The M&M factory, Bellagio Gardens, took crew down the Strip to see the lights (while trying to keep his eyes from the nasty billboards and advertising) shopping and dinner just a relaxing overnighter as a family.
 Falling asleep at the table, he has gone on strike when it comes to taking naps lately so by dinner time he is usually exhausted.
Crew played Smart Start Soccer, He really seemed to enjoy it and is getting pretty good at his soccer skills.
 Riding his first school bus with his cousins to get to the Kite Festival.

 proof that Cody was there with us. we had a blast, this will  have to be something we go to every year for sure.

 getting his hair cut.
May 4th : Waiting in the E.R. for his very first( and most likely not last) set of stitches. We were at town square where there is a little river for the kids to play and splash around. He tripped and went face first into a large rock. He took a nice chunk out of his bottom lip that required 3 stitches. he was so good for the doc and didn't even flinch when he gave him the shot in his lip to numb it.
 Crashed after getting home from the E.R.
 We spent a few hours watching the Iron Man here in town. We were right there at the finish line when the first place guy crossed the finish line. of course we forgot to take pics of him coming in, but i did get one of the second guy. i will have to get it off my phone and put it up later.
 got a sweet fireman's hat. gotta love the dollar store.
 our ward did an adults "minute to win it" night . it was so fun! not to many pics but i will have to put up the video of Rachelle and I doing the ping pong tissue box game. She got it in like 4 sec. I'm pretty sure her box was rigged!
We went and walked along the river by our house. This is where the trail fell into the water during the flood this winter.  Okay that is all for now I will try to put some Christmas up soon (yes I know it is july... don't judge). We put all our pictures on an external hard drive before I got around to posting them. So I will try but I promise nothing!
