Flashback Friday-2007

Ava Helena
Skyler Lynn

Christopher & Skyler

We are going back to right after David & I were married. We would go up to my brother Chris's house all the time. Somtime's 2 weekends a month. We would help out with the kids so that they could go to work. Or we'd go up to help with the yard even better just to hang out with skyler, ava, chris and leslie. I love that Ava & Skyler would just make really funny faces all the time when I'd take a picture. They would be smiling when I pushed the botton and then I would get picture's like these. But you know what its them so I dont mind. I miss going up there all the time. I will even more miss them when we move but I just have to remember the good times we have had.

My Crazy Family

This is my crazy family. When Madison got baptized in Sept. My brothers came down from Safford & Lake Havsua City. We got family picture's taken. Yes, I know we are missing a brother. But he was Iraq. We miss you Jamie. For any of you that know us, THIS IS US, Got to love us...

Flashback Friday-2007

We are going back to David & Mine wedding. Jan. 6 2007... In the morning around 5 a.m I was up at Holly North house getting my hair done. After we left there at 7 a.m. We got things together to go over and start getting chairs and tables up. About an hour before we got married we started getting pictures out of the way. When we got married it was the best time of my life. To look into David's eyes and say I Do and hear it back from him. It felt so great. It wasn't our best opening. OK, to say who was all in the wedding. My Nephew Skyler, Madison, My cousin Harley, David's Friend Rustin, My dad, me and David of course. So to start it all off, Harley & Rustin walked down first. Then it was suppose to be Skyler & Madison. Skyler wanted a drink then ran off. Madison didn't want to walk alone so my dad yelled at her and grabbed the rings from her. We walked down laughing. And to top it all off. I started putting David's ring on the wrong finger. But you know what for you that know the Crawford Family, that's US. We are all big, loud and nothing happens without people having a laugh. And the Bishop said my name wrong like 7 times. Which is 100% fine cause it was his first wedding. He had only been bishop for 2 months when we asked him. But all together that was the greatest day even with all the problems. I wouldn't change that day for anything.

I Am Greatful For Part 2...

OK, Seventh, All of my Grandparents. First without them I wouldn't have my parents. They showed my parents how to take care and raise a family. They told and showed them how to support and live their children. They stand behind you on different things you want because they want you to faille our dreams. As long as you have a plan, you will be 100% fine.


Eighth, My Uncle's & Aunt's. Yes, Uncle Mike I am talking about you. One thing that uncle mike has always done is not made me feel like a child. He didn't talk to me as one never made me feel like one. He listens to our plans and gives his opinion on it. But doesn't mind if you don't take it. I really didn't know two of my uncles and aunts. We haven't lived that close and really didn't get to know each other till my cousin got married. I am so grateful that I got to see them. I was like 2 or 3 last time we saw them both. Then theirs MY Uncle Nilo. Growing up he was mine and not my brothers or cousin uncle. There's alot of picture's with me and Uncle Nilo. And now he is playing with my little girls.

Ninth, Which is the hardest of all. My cousin Lorin. I am so grateful to have spent all the time I could with him growing up. Yes, we were like brother and sister. We didn't get along really at all. I mainly got along with Brandon. But that doesn't change anything. Lorin became my best friend and a hero fighting the cancer. He made me a better person and made me want to take it away from him and make it all go away. Now that I look at it, it wasn't my time to go back. It was his time to go teach to people that have already gone before us. Yes, I miss him to death. And cant wait to see him again.

I Am Thankful For...

With the Holiday season around, I was thinking about everything that I am grateful for in my life.

For starters, My loving Husband... He does so much for me. I am so grateful for everything he has given me. He has so much love for me. He has stood by my side with all my medical problems. He went to so many doctor appointments even when we were just dating. After going to the hospital so many time and having surgery he still stayed by my side. After getting pregnant I didnt think things would get any better. We were at least in the hospital trying to have the girls at least 3 times a week. And it wasnt a pretty things. All the shots and pain I was in he was always next to me. If he had to work and couldnt get off to take me it just killed him. He gave me two wonderful little girls. Then we walked into the temple a month and a week after the girls were born. I was so greatful to have him across from me. To look into his eyes the whole time. I cant wait to be in his arms again.

Second, my two wonderful daughters. Without them life would never be the same. They both bring so much joy and comfort to me. Just to get up in the morning and see their smiling faces. Even with all the poppy diapers I wouldn't ever want to lose them. They are more world, just like their father.

Third, My Two Wonderful Parents. I would be nothing without their love and support. Without them showing me the way with not only the Gospel but also with teaching me how to take care of a family. My mother showing me how to cook so that one day i can cook for my family and take care of the house. My mother showed me how much love she had for me and my brothers and sister. She stayed home to take care of us even when it was just me and my brothers. The best part of going to school is we were coming home to mom and her love and support. And her questions about school even if we did something wrong. My Father, how can I explain what my father did for me besides in this words, He showed me how to respect, love, care and being supporting. Without my father I don't think I'd be the person I am today. All in my life growing up my father was there but also wasn't. He was at work supporting our family and helping grandpa Morris with the farm on Saturdays. The first time in high school I've every heard my father tell me how proud he was of me was at Skyline High School. I joined JROTC and did my first and last color guard at the last choir concert that I was in. To see my father be so proud of me was the greatest thing in the world. The next time was when I had the girls. With everything going on with them, health wise. The Third was, when David and I went into the mesa temple and got sealed to each other and our girls. My father showed me how much he love and cares for me on those 3 days. And that makes up for everyday growing up. I may not of always shown it to him but I love my father so much and I am so grateful he is my father know matter what.

Forth, which should of come first but, Heavenly Father & Jesus Christ. Cause honestly with them no one would be here. For Christ to die on that cross for me and my family. I am so grateful to him. Just like the song I know that my Redeemer lives. I do know he lives and loves me. Just because you cant see him doesn't mean anything. He is always there know matter what. They will be the only people that will never walk away from you. They love all of us in this world even if we do make mistakes. They will for give you. Never doubt that they love and care for you. In different ways they do come to you and they do show that they are with you. I know that he lives. And I cant wait to meet him again in Heaven.

Fifth, My Brothers. Yes I said my brothers. I know growing up we weren't close at all. But if I didn't have them, I don't think life would of been the same. Yes growing up we wanted to kill each other but deep down we didn't. We really love each other. Get together now when we are older are the greatest days ever. I love all 3 of brothers to death. There are different things about them now that we are growing up, that I want my children to get from them. When that day comes my brothers will know.

Sixth, Madison. Growing up I always wanted a little brother or sister. Then I stopped asking and that's when we got Madison. I guess the Lord was just waiting for me to stop asking. But Madison brings alot into my life. Yes, growing up with me in high school and having a little sister wasn't the greatest all the time but looking back it was so great. Now Madison and I have a great relationship and when we move I am going to miss her alot. The way she is with my girls is so wonderful. She is the greatest Aunt anyone could ask for.

Now there's alot more I could go on about but I am going to stop. I am sure there will be more to come later.

10 Months Old

Our Two Princess are now 10 months old. It doesn't feel that long ago. Anyways, Rosealie Ann, is doing good. She is sick right now but doing alot better today then she has been the last couple of days... She is doing alot of the same things as before but now she is getting more into walking. She lets go and trys to take steps but gets to happy and falls down. She'll take your fingers and walk with you between your legs. The best thing is getting right in front of grandpa's TV when he is watching it, then look for papa to tell her to get down. Its really CUTE to see. Big Bad Grandpa, is really cute and loving with the girls. Chloe Jo, is doing good also. She is starting to stand. She doesn't walk the side of the chairs but she is standing. It happened today for the first time EVER. She will just like sister take your fingers and walk. Which is wonderful. They both hold their bottles by themselves, well until they fall a sleep that is. They are starting to get along alot better lately. They will talk, smile and laugh at each other alot more. They love watching movies together and playing with their duckies. They have Christmas and Halloween and pink ones. We went and got them Christmas dresses. They look so CUTE & ADORABLE in them... I have taken some picture's of them in the dresses.

A Late-Update

The Girls are more the 9 1/2 months old. They will be 10 months on Dec 7th. They are getting so big now. It doesnt feel like they could be this big and old. I cant believe its been so so long. This was their first Thanksgiving and will be their first Christmas. For Thanksgiving, grandpa, grandma crawford, aunt becky, uncle nilo, aunt stacie, uncle mike, nik and harley were all over. We had some food too... We'll update soon...

QCHS Football Game

Heres some picture's that I got from the Football game last Friday Night. From Left to Right... Landon(Jason & Brie's Oldest), Lorin's football Number & Sarah(Jared's Wife)

Things In My Mind...

For all you that are wondering what the ETTE is for. My cousin Lorin always would say that. For anyone that knows Lorin or even has never gotten to meet him, all know how much he loves the gospel and how strong his spirit still is. The meaning for ETTE is Endure To The End. Sitting there today next to Madison at Lorin's funereal, just killed me. To see this 8 year old lose her best friend in this whole world. Yes, it was hard for her to say goodbye and stop crying but something that started making me cry. Was my Uncle Craig told Madison that Lorin is still with us all we have to do is just look up and he is there. Which is 100% true. I just never saw it that way. Here I've been so mad at myself cause I also couldn't say goodbye to him because it hurt way to bad. I also lost one of my hero's and best friends. But Uncle Craig made me see that know matter what Lorin was still next to me. Yes, it may hurt that he is gone but he is still really there. Instead of talking to myself when things are wrong my best friend will be there to listen and help me out. I love Lorin so much. And know that I will see him again someday...

Update on David

Yesterday, David had his final test in baking. Which is one part of his learning at AIT. They had to cook some different things that his Sergeant had asked. After doing the cooking part they got to go study for awhile. Well last night after lights out David called me to say what he got on his final. It was 92 out of 100. Which is GREAT! Today they are starting a different part of the cooking class. Learning how to use the industrial stoves. That will take about 2 to 3 weeks. Then he'll have another final. After that its cooking out in the field, YEAH!! Then home for Christmas.

I lost 1 of my hero's & best friends

For all of you that know, my 18 year cousin has been fighting cancer for the last 4 or 5 months. But the last couple of days has been worse of all. Today around 4:30 I lost one of my biggest hero's and one of my best friends. He was so strong and I am grateful to him for everything he has shown me in my life and has shown my girls. We will always remember Lorin for the greatest person he is and the true spirit that he has. Please still remember to keep he's family in your prayers the next couple of days. We thank you all alot from the bottom of our hearts.

GOD BE WITH YOU TILL WE MEET AGAIN.

He's 1 Of My Biggest Hero's

If you all can keep Lorin and his family in your prayers that would be greatful to us. He isn't doing to good right now and he needs the love and support behind him. Thank you so much for the prayers and thoughts giving for him already. We are so greatful to you all... Thank you... The Football Team came by before their game to see Lorin. That night Lorin said he wanted to go to the game. He was there for just a little but it was wonderful to see him on the side lines with all of the other football members. Cheering them on. There's a song at the bottom for Lorin...

We went to the ZOO!!

On Tuesday we went to the zoo with grandma lamoreaux, aunt jenny, baby rylee, aunt hannah and two of aunt hannah's friends. It was so fun!!! We got to go on the train. We saw loins, monkeys, and giraffe. We didnt like getting our picture's taken but mommy got some of all the animals we saw... Cant wait to go back with daddy...

Great News!!!

David called me at 5:30 am. Which is 7:30 for him so he was thinking I'd be up. He doesnt remember that there's a time difference. But off that yesterday was his first test for AIT classes. He only missed 2. But he got a 98 on his test. He was so happy... I am so very proud of him... I just cant wait to write more great news from him...

So we only have 4 1/2 more weeks till he comes home for Christmas... I cant wait!!! Anyways here is his new address if anyone wants to write him...

Update on the Family

Here is an update on us lamoreaux. Well lets start with David. He is doing a little bite better. He is getting alittle sick but his taking some medicine for it. He will be coming home for break on Dec. 20th and going back Jan 1st sometime. I am so happy to have him home for the girls first Christmas. Me now, lets see. I am doing better. I am still a little sick but hopefully getting over that soon. I am still running on Georgia time, hopefully that end's soon cause its killing me. The girls are doing great. They are back on Arizona time, which is great... Rosealie is crawling really funny, but at least she is crawling. I can at least say she has done that. She is talking alot more since we went up and saw Dr. Andy(Andy Nelson). She loves her Daddy!!! She wasn't to sure about him at first but then warmed up to him after she slept for awhile. Chloe has been crawling for a month or two. She loved Daddy when we were there. Right from the first. She has started saying Dada and Papa since we've been home. So Andy made Rosealie talk and the flight made Chloe talk... Which works out really great... The girls are now 9 months old and are getting so big and fast... This Christmas is their first one and daddy will be home to spend it with them without picture's. Then he will be home for their 1st birthday... But this is our little update on the family. There will be more to come as this month goes along...

Video From David's Graduation

This is one of the video's that I had taken from the opening of David's Graduation... Rosealie & Chloe was loving the opening till the started with all the talking....

GREAT News from David

David called me tonight and was talking to me about his first real day at Ft. Lee. There was of course getting moved into his company and how classes start on Monday and that AIT was only 8 weeks instead of 10 weeks. But he doesn't get to come home for Thanksgiving but gets to come home for Christmas which is great cause Steven & Laura will be down from Texas. But we got great news today. David's Drill Sergeant was so impressed with David that she made him the Team Leader over his platoon. Which is wonderful news!!!! He is so happy for that. He just wishes that the guys in his platoon just start doing what they are told to do... Which I would be mad too. I am so proud of him with everything that he has done with basic training and now this. I am so so proud...

We are back from seeing David

We are back from seeing David. Everything went GREAT! The flight went good. The girls were really great and slept on the flight out. Family Day went good. It was nice and cold. It was about 66 degrees. On Graduation day was even better. It was colder it was 64 degrees. The opening was wonderful and so cool. The only had 4 people pass out. They locked their kneels which isnt good. But I got some great picture's. The one of David and his friends was so funny... Their names are Leighton, David, Millin and King. Millin is from Kingman Arizona and the others I dont remember were David said they where from. But Basic is over and now he is off to Ft. Lee Virgina for AIT... Hopefully soon he will be home...

After Math...

So Chloe has gotten were she loves to eat food. She loves her bottle don't get me wrong but every time someone else has food she'll stare you down... So we gave her cookies and other things to eat. Then it was bed time, yeah! Here is the after math of her eating...

I hate Hospital's....

Last night I ended up in the hospital with really bad lower pain and heavy bleeding. At first all they could think is I was pregnant and it was a tubule pregnancy. And if that was so we would be running up for surgery. I even had an Ivie put in. Well all the blood work came back saying no. So we decided to take the Ivie out. Well about an hour later the nurse came back in and they couldn't really find out what was wrong. So they sent me home and said that follow up with my OBGYN sometime in the next two days. So we'll see what happenes when I go see him...

We only have????

We only have 8 more days till we go out and see David. Everyone thinks I am weired because I am taking twins on a 3 and half hour plane ride. Well I am not doing it alone. My In-Laws are going with me. My mom was going to come but she is having surgery done on the 30th. I think David would kill me if I didn't bring the girls. He misses them so bad. He feels bad cause he is missing their first words, walking, crawling and eating. Which we understand cause he is taking care of our family. But the girls miss him badly. They will look at he's picture's and say Dada... So they know who he is... But I just cant wait to be in he's arms again. And have him hold all 3 of us together....

David calls the girls he's little princess's... So he cant wait to see he's two little princess's. That's what he always says in he's letters that I get...

WE LOVE FOOD!!!

Rosealie & Chloe just love eating now. Today so far we have had crackers and cookies... Later we will be eating more. When they eat before bed time they only get up once each for a bottle in the middle of the night... Rosealie is starting to crawl a little bit. She knows how to get places faster by trying to walk... Today Rosealie got next to the couch and let go and walked 3 steps. YEAH!!! Chloe crawls really fast even in a dress. So we are looking at getting walkers sometime soon. Hopefully soon they will both be up to the same point and on the same sleeping time so that I can get a nap in too... LOL!!!

New Member of the Family... His Name Is???

On Monday we went to Savers cause its 99 cent day. Well Rosealie and I were walking around the baby toys. I wasn't really watching Rosealie I was more looking at the little kids running by cause I didn't want to hit them. Well I looked over and there was tigger not Rosealie. I was to close to the toys and she had pulled tigger into the seat with her. I don't know how cause its way bigger then her and chloe together. So we ended up getting tigger cause I tried taking it away and she would just cry so bad and turn purple. So we have a new member to our family. His name is Tigger and the girls just love playing on him.... I wish i had my camera with me...
