Newport Vacation!

Much to our dismay we are back from our vacation! We had such a fun time! We have been going to Newport for one week every year since I have been in the family and it is a week that we all look forward to! Bailey absolutely loved the beach! She played all day every day on the beach and never took a rest. The girl was so worn out from playing on the beach and lack of sleep! She got to share a room with her cousins, which I think was just as exciting as the beach! She got pummeled by waves a couple of times, but that didn't bother her one bit! She got right back up and was ready to keep playing! Her Aunt Lanae took her for walks on the beach to find sea shells, which she really enjoyed. On one of those walks they found a crab and much to my suprise Bailey thought it was kinda cool. She didn't want to touch it, but she sure liked to look!



The last day we were in Newport, the girls all went to get pedicures and the little girls just got their nails painted. This is the color Bailey chose! Bright green! She went right for this color and then wouldn't change her mind. I kept trying to talk her into pink or red, but she had her little heart and mind set on bright green! She got floweres put on her big toes, but they got a little smudged because she had a hard time sitting still!

For some reason Spencer is always able to get our children to fall asleep with him. I must be too anxious all the time because I can't ever get them to fall asleep unless I am bouncing them! I just thought that was such a cute picture of SWBy and Spence.

Above is a picture of SWBy with Grandpa and Grandma Crabtree. Friday after our Newport vacation we drove down to Escondido to see my family before driving back to Utah! Lucky for us they babysat Bailey and SWBy so Spence and I could go see "The Dark Knight!" We loved the movie!

We had such a fun week! Above is a picture of SWBy with his cousin Emma! She is such a nice cousin, always wanting to hold SWBy. Below is a picture of Bailey with her cousin Eliza! Bailey sure enjoyed seeing her cousins and loved spending the week with them!

4th of July!

So our 4th of July pictures are a little delayed! My mom got Bailey this cute outfit a while ago and it just barely fit her. Perfect for the 4th. We had a fun 4th. Spencer's oldest sister came for a visit so we went up to Perry to celebrate with them. We BBQed and then watched fireworks put on by neighbors. At first Bailey was a little scared, but not for long! After she got over the loud noises she really liked to watch the fireworks! I think SWBy enjoyed watching them as well!

Tomorrow we leave for Newport for a week of FUN with Spencer's family! Hope you all have a great week!

Little Spence!

I took these pictures today and I thought they were so cute! Little Spence is such a happy baby! He is such a joy and a blessing! These pictures show his typical mood! He never really fusses or gets mad, except for when he has to ride for long periods of time in his car seat!

Arizona/Houston

Spencer, his dad and brothers at Minute Maid Park to see the Astro's!


Unlce Ev, Spence, and Bailey!



Last week Bailey, little SWB, and I took a little vacation to Arizona and Spencer went to Houston with his dad and brothers. My mom flew into SLC and drove with us to Arizona. It was a really nice week. On the way to Arizona we stopped in St. George to see my Grandma Crabtree and I missed a great photo opp because I left the camera with Spencer to take to Houston. It was so nice to visit and catch up with my Grandma. Last Friday my mom took Bailey to see High School Musical at Gammage and the poor girl was so tired that she asked to leave shortly after intermission. By Friday Bailey was so exhausted from a full week of visiting, playing, and a lot of nights where we missed our bedtime that I think for once going to bed sounded so good to her! It was so nice to see family and friends and catch up with them. So thank you everyone for making time to spend with us.





Spencer was lucky enough to join his dad and brothers for a baseball trip to Houston. The purpose of the trip was to visit stadiums and catch a few baseball games. His dad and brothers started in Chicago to see a Cubbies game at Wrigley Field. The Cubs are Spencer's favorite team and due to work Spencer couldn't go to Chicago. Had Spencer not been there before he would have been really, really disappointed to miss that part of the trip, instead he was just disappointed to miss that part of the trip. Spencer was able to meet them in Houston to see Minute Maid Park and go to a couple Astro games. They had a fun time and Spencer really enjoyed himself. Spencer's dad and brothers brought Spencer a lot of Cubbies souvenirs. He is now equipped with four foam fingers, a Cubbies duffle bag, a Cubbies blanket, souvenir cups, and Cubbies flip flops! They also brought all the grand kids Cubbies shirts. Spencer has Bailey trained to yell "Go Cubs" and that is exactley what she said when she received her shirt! Thank you grandpa, Uncle Ev, and Uncle BJ!

Last Saturday Spence flew into AZ with his dad and brothers and met up with Bailey, little SWB, and I. That night we got together with Spencer's family for a BBQ and swimming. Bailey is a little fish. She sure didn't want to get out of the pool. After she put floaties on she thought she was invincible. She tried to jump into the deep end after we took the floaties off!
