Progress...i can't think of a witty name for this one.

Just thought I would give a quick update on Crew. He is 17 months now and smarter than ever. He loves to play pat-a-cake, his favorite part is marking it with a "C", He loves to go to the pool and go down the slides. He is practically a fish, no fear of the water. He loves to play outside even if it is 110 degrees outside. He loves it when his cousins come over and has someone to play with on his level. He loves to "help" around the house, he likes to iron ,with his own little iron, help sort the laundry and even "hold" the dustpan. He follows Grandpa around like a little duck most days, they are great friends. We only have one more month before he goes to nursery and we can hardly wait, he has so much energy that church is just plain hard work. Luckily Cody's parents can take him home with them after our sacrament so we can enjoy the rest of our classes. I am excited for him to be able to have those kids to play with. He even knows how to fold his arms and does it for most of the prayer. He is learning new words each day.

He can now say:
Dad
mom
Car
out
NO
yeah
J.C.
chair
cheese(meaning the food and camera)
train
choo-choo
don't
wa-wa (water)
tease (please)
shoes
got it (when the phone rings)
tooth brush
I am sure there are a few more I am forgetting and even ones that we can't understand yet.


He can also locate his:
button (belly)
ears
eyes
nose (he can even blow it)
mouth
head
toes
and sometimes knees

Wow sorry about that long list of things and that it is so repetitive with the "he cans" but we are just so proud of him and how much he has learned. well now that I am sure you are completely bored out of your mind I will stop with the list.

A Few Photos

We were in Vegas a few weeks ago for a Travis and Erin's little baby girls Blessing. Crew had just got up from a nap when Erin was taking a few pictures of her kids and she took a few of Crew crazy hair and all but that is what his hair usually looks like anyway, so they show him in his true form. Here are a few of them. Thanks a bunch Erin. www.mysweetestmemoriesphotography.com

Memories of the way we were...

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

Lighten or Darken?

Never mind the Model i like this color only a little more brown pieces through it.


This is a pic of me last time i colored my hair

I can't decide if I want to go blonde or back to dark mahogany brown. The last time I was blonde-ish was 4 years ago when I met Cody. I dyed my hair dark just before we got married, my hair is in desperate need of a "do" and I am not sure. Dark is definitely easier I can color it by my self which means it only costs the price of a box of color, Blonde will need a touch up every couple of months and I will need to get it done professionally because I did my own blonde in high school and that was just tragic. We won't be doing that again. So tell me what you think I won't be offended if you think I would look bad with these colors. Also my hair is longer than in this pic of me and I am going to keep growing it out, if that makes a difference.

Love you long time!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CODY! Today is Cody's 27th birthday and I just want him to know how much I love him. he is such a wonderful, amazing husband and the best father in the world. He is so happy to come home and see Crew and you can just see his face light up when he walks in the room. He works so hard to support us and does his best to give me everything I could want or need. He is so caring and is always thinking of others, he loves his entire family so much and would do anything for them, He had to work today but I am so glad that we got to have the long weekend to celebrate and spend time together! Love you long time babe. Hope your birthday is a great one.

Happy 4th of July

 

For the Fourth of July we had a nice relaxing day. Cody went to breakfast with his Dad, brother and sister. Then Cody and I went for a little drive to look at some houses. Crew played in the pool, he thinks he is fish. He loves to dunk his head in the water. We went to see Kung Fu Panda, with Greg and Milea Hunt it was a pretty cute movie. That night we took Grandpa Dusty out to dinner at the Pasta Factory. Then Grandpa Dusty stayed home with Crew once he went to bed and Cody and I went out to the Country Showdown at the Sun Bowl, it was so stinking HOT! Brady, Emily, and JC came over and watched with us for a little bit before going to get ready for bed, before the fireworks started. Cody and I stayed and watched the fireworks from the stadium and they were great. They shot some off from the stadium and some from off the red hills. It was so cool, they alternated between the two and had music set to it. It was so loud and the cannons shock your insides. Just the way I like my fireworks.
The next day we got up and went swimming at Entrada with my friend Amylyn, from back home in P.G., they were staying another friends vacay home and so it was nice to get to see here and her Husband, Andy. Thanks guys it was a blast. That night Cody, Greg, Milea, and I all went to Samurai 21 for Cody's Birthday dinner for sushi, then we watched Definitely, Maybe at their house. Thanks again Grandpa Dusty for watching Crew for us. I was such a great weekend.

p.s. Thanks to Lizzy for telling me how to do the picture collage thing.
and sorry this post is such a run-on story.

The big 23!

So Sunday was my birthday and to celebrate Cody took me to Las Vegas. We drove down and made our first stop at Travis and Erin's house to see there new beautiful baby girl Brynlee Grace she was born on the 17th. I was so excited to get to meet her and hold her while she was still so tiny. We then went to lunch at the Cheesecake factory with them.
After lunch we went and did a little shopping at some of the outlets, it was SO----- freaking HOT! Then we headed to the strip to go see the Atrium at The Bellagio, we also went to a few more stores, the New York New York, and Paris. We had dinner at a little burger restaurant at the Paris hotel. We also stopped to watch the fountains at the Bellagio. Then we headed on home on our way as we were getting to valley of fire the Reservation was having a Firework show and I was so excited! I LOVE FIREWORKS! We got to see most of the show as we drove past I could even see it in my mirror once they were behind us. It felt like they were doing it just for me on my birthday! It was such a great day.
On Sunday we went to Church then just had a lazy day and relaxed. Cody made me a yummy spaghetti dinner, then we headed to our friends the Hunts to play games. It was a perfect birthday I couldn't have asked for more! Thanks for the great birthday Cody and a big thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Fonnesbeck for watching Crew for us to be able to spend the day just the two of us.
Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes.
Also a special SWEET 16 BIRTHDAY shout-out to my little sister Emily who shares her birthday with me. Emo Bethie will have to go to lunch to celebrate when I come up this weekend!
