Tuesday's with Crawford #8

This Tuesday with Crawford, Jason is out of town at a training and I am playing momma, daddy, substitute teacher, receptioninst, maid...etc, etc, etc! Hopefully, though, this is the last time Jason has training for a while. April for us is a busy birthday month. This past week, we drove to Tyler for a quick dinner with some of the April babies. We met Lolly, Grumps, Uncle JJ, Aunt Holly, Ellie, Asher and Brooks at Shoguns. If you have never been to Shoguns--GO! It is a Japanese steakhouse where they cook in front of you. It was Lolly's, Uncle JJ's, and Ellie's birthday along with Lolly and Grumps' 31st wedding anniversary. Crawford hasn't been to one of these places since he was little, so I was anxious to see what he would do. Our chef was awesome, even remembered Asher from last year when he had his mohawk. The boys were kind of scared of the man with the knives, but they did pretty good with the chopsticks. It was lots of fun and the first time we have been together since Christmas because of Daddy always being away at work. So, it was a nice celebration. We still owe Grammy for her birthday and her's and Poppy's anniversary is this month also. Hope you are all having a great week.

Poppy's Pickles

This is one of my favorite pictures from Easter Weekend. Last year, Poppy and Grammy had a great yield in the garden and with that came pickles, salsa, and lots of good veggies. Crawford is a pickle condesuier if you can imagine. He likes the big ones that you can get at Sam's in the plastic jars that last forever and ever. If we go to any kind of sporting event, he must have a pickle. So, when we were making sandwiches for our lunch at Poppy and Grammy's house, of course he thought he wanted to jump off into eating one. Well, I have had Poppy's pickles, so I knew what was coming. I grabbed my camera and got the above reaction. It was too funny. He loved them though, I think he ended up eating 3 or so of them. Hear's hoping Poppy's garden has another successful year.

Easter 2010

Easter this year was at the Roesner's house in Magnolia. Lots of food, family and fun. Crawford enjoyed playing with all of his cousin's; hunting Easter eggs, playing football, swinging on the swingset, and his favorite of all was dying Easter eggs. Crawford got to get ice cream from the ice cream truck that came down the street. He picked a spider man ice cream bar. He set through Mass for the most part Easter Sunday and then he got to run free as soon as we got back to the Roesner's and didnt stop for anything. It was lots of fun and he is still an attention stealer. We hope you all had a great Easter also!!!

Tuesdays with Crawford #7

For our new house, we got a rose bush from the Roesner's and Cman helped us plant and water it. He also got to pick something, ANYTHING, from Wal-mart out for going all day in his big boy underwear and he picked out a beta. Now we have a beta, named fish. Suzee is a little jealous. We have made it Crawford's responsibility to feed it every morning and at night. He loves to watch it. It's home for now is on the kitchen counter by the sink so it can get sunlight. This Tuesday Crawford is all about being responsible. He is completely potty trained (cross your fingers) and is having lots of fun playing outside in the backyard every afternoon when we get home basically until it gets dark. Jason is having fun in the yard too. Mowing, weedeating, watering plants, cleaning sticks off of the roof. I think he is really enjoying the house. This weekend, we are headed to Houston for Easter. So more pics to come next week. Hope everyone has a wonderful Tuesday with Crawford!

Cousins for Life

This picture was just too cute not to share with everyone. Friday night we made a mad dash to Van so we could go and watch my brother's baseball team and so Asher and Cman could play together for a little while. We picked Asher up from daycare and headed to Lolly and Grumps for some playtime in the beautiful weather. The boys played on the swingset, played soccer, rode the 4 wheeler (kawasaki power wheels...no freaking out people!!!), played inside on the stairs and in the playroom and just lounged around and watched some tv. Then we headed to the baseball game and the boys had to of course be dressed like baseball players. So, Asher and Cman were all dolled up in their baseball pants, shirts and helments. It is so much fun watching these boys play together. I know they are cousins by birth, but I also know they are going to be best friends for life. I am so thankful they are so close together in age and can enjoy playing with each other. God bless us all when they turn 15!!

Tuesdays With Crawford #6

Technically, it's supposed to be #7, but I missed last week! (Sorry Mrs. Sherry!) Crawford had a great birthday party (see last post) and is off to a new start playing with all of his new toys from his birthday. He has been wearing me and Jason out playing soccer and baseball. But, right now, his favorite thing to do is sit down and put on a concert for me, Jason and Suzee. He will pull up his chair (in front of the TV so we can't watch) and get the microphone, his cowboy hat and his guitar and get after it. Yesterday to school he wore his levis, new boots, his fishing hat, and a baseball shirt. So when we got home, he took off his fishing hat and put on his cowboy hat and the concert started. It lasted all of 5 minutes, then it was time for soccer and baseball and running with Suzee. I can't wait to see what he decides to be when he grows up. (Not that I want him to grow up!!) He is sooooo much fun to be around and is constantly entertaining. Hope we get to share him with you all much and often!

Birthday Parties are fun!!

Well, we are over half way through March and rolling right along with 2010. This past weekend, we had Crawford's third birthday party at our house. It was great, despite the temperature dropping like crazy the two hours everyone was at our house. It was nice to have almost everyone together. We had a great crowd. Daddy (Grumps) could not make it in from work and Granny Roesner has an infected toe, but other than that, the crew was there. We had lots and lots of fun. The kids got to play inside and outside and around and around and in and out. Crawford got loads of gifts that he has strewn throughout the house in various places already and we are in the process of switching around toys, clothes, books and all that since he is getting so big. He got a soccer goal and ball,gator golf, a real guitar, a real baseball uniform, new boots and cowboy hat, fishing equipment, hot wheels and lots more. Thank you everyone that came and spent the time with us. It was fun!
