..Krew turns 2..

WOW!! I can't believe my little boy is 2! It is bittersweet! Two years ago today he just got done having major surgery to keep him alive. And look at him now! Who would have thought?! I am SOOO proud to be his mommy! He is the greatest blessing ever! He has been through so much already in his short life and is one brave little kiddo! He is my little Superhero!! :) I love you so much buddy!!

We celebrated his and Gracie's Birthdays by having dinner, cupcakes and ice cream, and opening presents! It was a lot of fun and they got spoiled! Happy Birthday Gracie and Krew!!

It's a.....................

BOY!!!!!!!

We are very excited to be having another boy! Krew is going to be so happy having a little brother to play with! He LOVES babies so we are hoping he loves this little guy when he realizes that he will be here to stay! :) I can't wait to see how different he is from Krew physically and personality wise. It is hard to imagine anything but another little Krew running around! I mean really, I don't think they come any cuter then Krew! Anyways, I hope you enjoy our ultrasound video. You can see his cute little face in the very beginning and at the very end. The middle part is mostly of his body parts. We can't wait to meet him!

And then there were.....

..4..

Yep, you guessed it! Baby #2 will be here sometime around March 20th! We are sooo excited!!

...4th of July and such...

We had a very fun and busy 4th of July! I think it is safe to say that we completely wore ourselves out. We enjoyed some family bbq's, some volleyball games, parades, fireworks, and more fun stuff! It is one of Tyson's families favorite holidays and they have a lot of Independence Day traditions! If you have ever been to the Hyrum parade, you have probably seen all the old cars towards the end of it. That would be his family driving mostly all of them. Tyson's cousins own the new Smokin' Blues BBQ so we were also able to enjoy a fireside/dinner there Sunday night. His Grandpa told some stories about when he was younger. He talked about how they were only able to bath about once a week or even longer and that they all had to use the same water. They had to boil the water before they put it in the tub. Can you imagine having to wait your turn and having to bath in cold, dirty water?! It really made me think and realize how much we take for granted in this age and time. In years past, I haven't really thought about why we celebrate this holiday. I have always known why but I just haven't ever really pondered it. This year I thought about it a lot and it made the holiday that much better! I really am so grateful for all the brave and courageous men and women who have sacrificed so much so that we can have and enjoy our freedom! I am so proud to be an American!!

Grandma and Grandpa bought him a new, cool bike. It doesn't have wheels so he won't crash.

Bear Lake Weekend

Last weekend we headed on up to Bear Lake! We stayed in the cabin with Tyson's parents and brothers from Boise along with their families, and also with my mom and Kirk, Carl and Stacie, and my sisters and their families! To say we had fun would be an understatement! We are going to make it a yearly tradition from now on. We got up there early Friday and spent the day relaxing, and playing games at the cabin. On Saturday we headed down to the lake and enjoyed some time on Kirk's boat, the waverunners, and playing on the beach. Then Sunday, we packed up and enjoyed a few more hours on the beach before getting our Durango stuck in the lake trying to pull the waverunners out! It was definitely a vacation we will never forget! We are so glad we got to spend some much needed quality time with our awesome families and friends! Until next year...

...Mister Krew...

Our little boy is only 2 weeks away from being 1 1/2 years old! I seriously can not even believe it! He seems like such a big boy now! These past 2 weeks he has suddenly turned into a little terror! A VERY cute little terror, though, I must say! A few weeks ago at his last surgery, his Dr. told us he doesn't need another surgery for 6 months. Yippee!! He has even been able to eat more of a variety of food lately too. We are very happy about all of it! We LOVE this little man sooo much and feel so blessed to be his parents!

Here is a little list of things about him at this age:

-He loves taking baths. Every night when I say "Let's go take a bath," he runs to the bathroom and tries to take off his own clothes.

-He loves snuggling and giving wet slobbery kisses. I love it too. He always brings me his blankie and plops down right in my lap.

-If he does something he knows he is not supposed to do, he will run up to me and put his finger on my lips so I can kiss it.

-He loves eggs, hashbrowns, pancakes, and cookies. And of course the chocolate milk.

-He does not like salad. It is the only thing I try to feed him that he refuses to eat.

-He loves playing at the park, being outside, and going on stroller rides.

-He loves dogs.

-He loves to sing. We sing I am a child of God every night before he goes to bed and he hums along the whole time.

-He loves his teddy bear.

-He loves playing peek-a-boo.

-He loves music and he loves to dance.

-He loves to read books.

-He loves playing with other little kids.

-He is obsessed with lights.

-He still loves his daddies guitar and gets mad that I don't know how to play it good.

-He likes to color.

-And he still hates the vacuum. Or anything that is loud for that matter.

We LOVE you Mister Krew!!!
