More Family Fun!

By -
 Garrett and I received a church assignment to plan and head up our ward's youth conference.  We just really really appreciated my mom and my sister's family for being so willing to make the trip out to watch our kiddos while we were gone for the long weekend.  The kids had so much fun and I was so glad that I was able to spend a little bit of time with them before and after the conference.

 
  Grandma Crossley bearing awesome gifts for the kiddos!



We tried to take the kids swimming one afternoon . . . but we were only in the pool for 5 minutes before the lightening came.  Not to despair though, to make up for the lack of swimming time, we took the kiddos to get a shaved iced.  They were freezing in their swimsuits . . . but they looked so cute all bunched up together in the back of the van waiting got their sweet treats.

 Playing at the park

 The kids found 4 baby bunnies in our backyard.  We couldn't believe how little they were!

 Boston snuggling with Uncle Brandon while watching a movie.  He is such a great uncle!
 These 2 babies . . . totally cute together.  I think Camden got a little too much love from Crew, but overall, they were so sweet together!

 Garrett and I introduced the family to the restaurant, "Crave."  It is a unique burger place.  Anyone who comes for a visit - we will take you there.  It will not disappoint.  :)



 A big sleep over with Grandma!  All of the grandkids had a blast sleeping on the floor next to grandma.

  Aunt Laura is the best . . . she was a huge hit when she brought out her big parachute.

 So while Garrett and I were gone at youth conference . . . all of the kiddos went to a little farm.  (Thanks for the great pics, mom!)



















What a fantastic week!  We love and miss you all already!

Belated Bolder Boulder Post

I have loved this yearly tradition of running the Colorado Bolder Boulder with these amazing women.  Unfortunately, this year I had to opt out at the very last minute due to unexpected foot problems (tendonitis).  I love getting geared up every spring and training every Saturday with such a great group of women.  This picture was taken on our annual Saturday breakfast before the run.  I sure hope to run with them again next year.

Lily is Home!

We got to bring Lily home from the hospital last night. It's kinda crazy to think that this beautiful little girl is ours. We definitely have a lot to learn about being parents, but are sure excited for it. We are especially grateful that our families are so willing to help out with everything. My parents are here right now and then Christina's mother and sister will be coming next week. We feel blessed to always have their support. Here are some pictures from the last couple of days. Here is a very proud grandpa spending time with his little grand daughter. He does such a good job with her and it is neat to see how proud he is. Also, here is one of the funniest little videos. So far, her eyes have been very perceptive, but here, I think she got a little overwhelmed. I think her hands mess with her eyes. We have to keep them covered cause she always is scratching her face. But the video just makes us laugh. She is such a cute little girl!!! As you can see, we are very pro...
