Happy Birthday Andrew

Andrew turned 4 years old today! We took a couple of friends to jumping jacks and then we had  family over for pizza, cake and presents! Happy Birthday Andrew!!!

A Week of Firsts......

The boys are growing up so fast. Andrew is now a Sunbeam and he gave his first talk in Primary this past Sunday. I kept trying to get him to practice all week long, but he would not do it! On Sunday morining I was sure that he was going to refuse to give his talk, but Andrew really pulled through. He got up there and gave his talk like he had practiced all week long. We were so proud of him!

Dallin got his first hair cut this week. He went from this-

 

to this!

Dallin loves to crawl all over the place! He learned how to pull him self up this week and now

he stands up all of the time. Another First!

We sure love our handsome boys!!!

Christmas 2009

I cannot believe that it is already 2010! This year Christmas came and went so fast, but we had a great time and we were able to do a lot of fun things over the holdiay's. We held to our tradition and went to Salt Lake for the Mormon Tabernace Choir Christmas Concert with Mom, Marianne, Cade and his family.

.

We went to Lane and Adrianne's Christmas Party and made gingerbread houses. Andrew had so much fun and he was so proud of the house that he made with his Mom!

We spent Christmas in Cedar City this year with Mom, Dad, Shelly, Billy, Samantha and Malia. We have a wonderful family and it was great to be with them over the Holiday's.

Andrew was so much fun this year! He was so excited for Christmas all month long. He learned a lot of the Christmas songs at day care and he would sing them endlessly. He loved all of his presents, but his favorite was his new train.

Dallin had fun playing with the wrapping paper, and Andrew was more then happy to help him open all of his presents.

Curt and I also had a wonderful Christmas. We finally got us a hot tub which we have really enjoyed!

Malia got totally spoiled, but who wouldn't spoil this adorable girl? We sure love baby Mia!

On Christmas day Grandpa, Grandma, Aunt Laura and all of her family came for Christmas dinner.

Grandpa had fun playing with Andrew's new helicopter.

After Christmas we went sledding with Grandma LeeAnn. There wasn't much snow, but enough for us to still go sledding. Andrew and Dallin both had a great time. Andrew learned it was more fun to bail out and go tumbling down the hill then to actually sled all the way down. He is such a boy!!!

We had Grandpa & Grandma Crofts, Candace, Chanc and his family over for dinner after Christmas. We opened our presents to eachother and had a great time seeing everyone.

Happy Birthday To You.........

Happy Birthday Curt- December 2nd!!

Blessed.....

We were able to go to Malia's Blessing in Cedar City this past weekend. Billy did a great job and gave her such a beautiful blessing. We are so thankful for this beautiful girl and the blessing she is to all of us. We love you Malia Elizabeth!!

Trick or Treat

Our Halloween was full of fun this year. We started out by going to see Thriller at Tuacahn. The boys had so much fun decorating our house and carving pumpkins.
The day before Halloween we went to Andrew & Dallins school party, our Ward party and then over to Lane & Adrianne's to decorate sugar cookies. On Halloween we went trick-or-treating in our neighborhood. The boys got tons of candy and had a great time dressing up!

Good Times

We went camping at Kershaw Ryan State Park in Nevada last weekend with Dad, Mom, Shelly & Malia. Our camp was close to a train track and Andrew had a great time watching the trains go by. We went to an old train station in Caliente and he was in heaven climbing all over the train.
Andrew had a great time looking for geocaches (he calls it treasure hunting).
We did some hiking while we were there and we saw some petroglyphs.We also went and explored an old ghost town. Curt had a great time finding things with his metal detector and exploring the old mine shafts.

We always have such a great time camping with our family.
