Wishing that...

These 2 will be best buddies...Crew has shown bits of jealousy about having his place of baby of the family taken from him. This last week has been a challenge and I can see that my Crew bug is still wanting to have all the attention. I hope as soon as Creed is moving a little more, that Crew will fall in love with his little brother. I love the brotherly friendship that Colton and Cannon have and I hope that Creed and Crew will develop the same bond SOON!

Creed is 4 months old...

Creed 4 months




Creed 4 months 2


Weight - 14 lbs. 13 oz. 31%


Length - 26.25 inches 88%


Creed is definitely one of my everyday highlights! I don't know if it is because the pregnancy was so difficult, or if it is because we had our little scare with him when he was only 2 months old, or if it is because I think he is my last...but, I can tell you I am smitten with this guy. The things that never get old to me are...kissing his cubby little cheeks, smelling his sweet little smell, holding his little hand and looking at his fingers while I nurse him, and looking at his smiling face or hearing his cute little giggle. I can't imagine my life without him. All his little milestones are so fun to watch. He is our little angel!


-he loves to be held, so he is not rolling over and doesn't spend much time on the floor.


-if he is on the floor he loves to lay on his back looking up at his toys hanging from his toy mat


-he is starting to suck his thumb and fingers...the other day he fell asleep sucking on 3 fingers.


-he doesn't like his binkie as much as he use to


-he gets up consistently once a night to eat


-some days he just doesn't want to nap


-he is sleeping a little more in his bed, but will still sleep in his carseat


-he hate to get dressed or undressed


-is very ticklish and loves to giggle when he is tickled

Spring Break...

Our spring break started a few days early as we headed to Utah to watch the NCAA sweet sixteen and elite 8 games that the Energy Solutions were hosting. Thanks to my parents for buying the tickets and letting us use a few. We had a ton of fun and saw 3 close games. Colton was in heaven and loved cheering on his teams he had chosen in his march madness bracket. Creed was an absolute angel and was so easy to take along. We put earplugs in Creeds ears, so he didn't get scared with all noise. We had some interesting moments when the ticket workers insisted that Baby Creed needed a $184.00 ticket to enter...WHAT! Luckily we were able to get it all worked out and they let the little Creed in.

My other two sisters were with us, but I guess I don't have pictures of them :(




Then we headed to Salt Lake to stay for a few nights in the hotel Staybridge Suites that has an indoor waterslide. The kids loved it and enjoyed every minute they were able to spend in the hotel pool.

Creed was bundled all up and sleeping through his stroller ride through the zoo!


We also took a tour of the Conference Center on Sunday...The kids actually loved it, especially loved going up on the roof and seeing the landscaping they have done on top with the trees and the water!
