big boy eating cereal

i tried giving crew his cereal 'in a bottle' to minimize the mess AND to speed up the process. but...NO NO NO, crew wouldnt' take the bottle. so i begrudgingly gave the spoon a try, and WHAT DO YOU KNOW??? he loved it AND he was very good at it, surprisingly.

adorable nursery

so i have to give credit where credit is due, be/c i owe the cute decor of crew's nursery to the talanted ones... my friend, dawn, painted the letters and another friend did the letter board, and props to my sister-in-law who painted this 'too-die-for' elephant. she is very talanted and is starting to focus her attention on nursery paintings, so visit her business blog, if you're interested, for more info about how she can costomize your paintings to match the bedding, theme, or whatever you dream! visite http://avividgrey.blogspot.com/ (click on pic to enlarge it)

my 'so-called' journal entry!

i have done nothing today, except blog, change diapers, play with crew, eat, blog, change more diapers, play with crew some more, eat more, and blog again. my dishes have piled up, house is a mess, etc, etc, etc. BUT... I FINALLY UPDATED MY BLOG! HURRAY.
you might find through my blog that my spelling is incorrect, but i will blame that on my sleep deprivation. so please excuse that. this is really fun, i find that i have a hard time getting on the computer even for a few minutes these days. maybe i am a poor time manager, but i can't seem to get on top of anything including buying diapers, i even had to borrow one from our friends one day when i ran out!!!! yikes. i am so looking forward for summer time, when a couple of our neighbor girls asked if they could tend crew while i do stuff around the house!! heaven bless babysitters. i have come to love them even more than i knew i would. this past month jeremy and i have been able to play tennis again togther, take harley on "EVENING" (meaning... after crew's bed time) walks, and get dessert just like the olden days! wow, how life has changed, AND HEAVEN FORBID, I ONLY HAVE ONE. and to think that i am going to have more (i am not making an announcement, HAPPILY). anyway, things have been exciting around here and i love it more than anything. oh happy days!!! well, i put a ton of entries in today, so don't forget to check out the next page b/c there is STILL more from TODAY. talk later!

i thought my baby was tan, until now. crew's 2nd cousin, andrew, is only 2 days younger. it was so fun, he wore himself out.

blissful mother's day walk... turns DANGEROUS!

SO, cottonwoods heights might seem to be a safe, quiet, nice neighborly place to take your baby for a walk, but NOT THE EXPERIENCE WE HAD ON MOTHERS DAY. no, it was one of fright instead!!! the story goes like this... we were walking with our friends, whom, by the way, have a stroller also, (twice as long as ours, as they have twin boys, 2 months younger than crew). anyway, a pimped out cadillac goes racing past us, when our friends wave him (the driver) to slow down a little. the driver proceeds to stop the car, put it into reverse, get out use very fowl language to threaten us with his 9mm gun. yup, that's crazy huh! so, i took off with the stroller and hid behind a bush. he he. we called the cops, but nothing came of it, except for a thrilling story. and we are obviously all safe and sound.

wHAT a sTUD mUFFIN!

OOPS, WE FORGOT TO TAKE THE STIKER OFF. he he. EVEN STILL, CREW THINKS HE IS TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL!

crew's frist trip to the hogle zoo! his cousin, lucas, was the only one out of the three boys that understood anything about the zoo and that there were actually animals to look at. as for crew and his best bud, mason, they enjoyed the ride and the noise of all the other kids. it was really fun for me too! i love to get out of the house and see other mommies and kids.
