YO HO YO HO a Pirate Party for Crew!!!

I thought it was about time that I blogged Crew's 1st Birthday Party and try and catch up in the blogging world!

We celebrated Crew's 1st Birthday on October 23rd. He had a pirate dress up party! It was so much fun and to be honest I have no idea how I could ever top this party. I think a trip to McDonald's may be in order for his 2nd Birthday!!!

Arrgghh Matey!!!

The Birthday decor!!!

It was pretty cold outside so we decided to have everyone eat in the garage. It worked out perfectly!!!

There were so many great costumes!!! I love Halloween so I am going to have so much fun with Crew's Birthday every year!!

The kids played pin the eye patch on the pirate (crew)

All of the kids were so excited for Crew to open presents. It was so fun that Crew's cousins and Aunt and Uncle from Washington and both sets of Grandparents were able to come to Crew's party!!!

Opening the Loot!!!

Crew's treasure chest cake that I made!!! It turned out better than I could have imagined!!

Blowing out his candle!!

The cutest bugs in town!!! My friend Whitney is beyond talented and made these costumes the day of the party!!!

The pirate clan!!!

Crew testing out his Birthday Cake!!!

Crew loved the 4 wheeler that we picked out for him!! We had such a fun party and I can't wait to do it again!!! That will be here before I know it seeing as how it is already June!!! ahh I've got to start brain storming!!!

Gardner Village and a spooky Halloween Cruise!!!

My parents came in town a few days before Crew's Birthday Party for my cousin Brian's wedding. After the luncheon we went to Gardner Village. We never miss a year coming here at Halloween time. I love seeing all of the witches. It is such a cute place!!

These witches were great!!! They were shooting commercials or something! It was so fun watching them!

Crew loved playing in all of the leaves!

Crew looks a little scared of the witch flying overhead!!

My cute parents!!

The next night we went on a Scary Provo Halloween Cruise! They have hundreds of carved pumpkins that reflect off of the water. And they even have a pirate come and attack the boat and tell scary stories! It was so fun to see!!

All bundled!!

I have always loved Halloween but I am loving it more and more having a baby!! Crew makes everything so much more fun and special!!!

Hee Haw Farms!!! 10/15/10

We took Crew to Hee Haw Farms on October 15th. We all had so much fun and he loved seeing the huge pumpkins that were bigger than him!!!

Crew loved this tire swing!

I guess since we've moved to Spanish Fork we needed to introduce Crew to a tractor!!! ;)

He is a born farmer.....such a natural!!

Those pumpkins were gigantic!!!

This was the start to a great month of October!!! So many fun activities to come and Crew's big Birthday Party!!!

September Fun 2010!!!

I am seriously so behind on blogging it is horrible!!! I am really trying to get caught up little by little and the plan is to be caught up by Christmas so I can post all of those fun festivities shortly after!!!

Here is a re-cap of September. My mom flew back to Utah with us after Cabo. We had so much fun going to Swiss Days and playing outside! We went with Joel's sister Janelle and Jeremy to the Thanksgiving Point Farm. Crew loves coming here and we have been here several times this past summer and fall season. Crew's favorite part is riding the pony!! He laughs so hard. I love it!

Cousin Brody loves all of the animals too!

Crew's like, "I'm looking mom, hurry take my picture!"

Jeremy and Brody after a fun pony ride

Brody loves smiling for the camera!!

My mom and Crew

Crew a little tuckered out from jumping in his jumper before church!! I love these precious moments and thank goodness for cameras to be able to capture them forever!!!

My dad was able to come into town, as well, over Labor Day. We went with my parents to Trafalga in Lehi. We played mini golf, rode on the merry-go-round, and played on these fun, push them yourselves, go carts! I love it they are for little kids to be pushed around in. I guess that includes Joel too!! ;)

Crew felt pretty cool in that car!!

Ok, and me too!!

Joel's mom was able to come in town for a few days to help with our new niece Kate that was born on August 24th!!! It was so fun to be able to spend time with her while she was here. We went to the Dinosaur Museum and out to lunch to Cafe Rio! Yum!

We also gave Crew his very first official hair cut. We've trimmed the top before but this was trimmers and all!!!

Before!!

During...

After!!!

Yay Crew doesn't have wings anymore!!! He did great for his first hair cut!

Well that pretty much sums up our quick month of September!!!
