Computer Class Graduation 2009/2010

Oh what a great school year Ty and Kai'imi had at Computer Class. They loved every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. Ms. Marj is such a great and Patience teacher. This was their second year and I couldn't believe the improvement they made in a years time. Ty, Kai'imi and I can't wait for this coming school year.

If you have a girl, you know what this is like

Yes, Kai'imilani is all girl. She loves to do hair, paint nails, dress up and so on. She always is begging me to do my hair. I let her this one day and then she wanted to take a picture of it. She is sure great joy in my life and I know my hair will never go undone. I love you Kai'imi and am so blessed to have you.

THE Uninvited house guests! 4/7/10

This is a great memory but not ever wanting to repeat it. On Wednesday night Judy was dropping me off and we sat there for a little bit talking. As we were talking we noticed something on the roof bigger than a cat and even a puppy. So we got out and got closer to the roof where we recognize a Racoon. A great big one. I scream and called Bret who was in the house and told him to come out threw the back door. Anyways we watched it go down the chimney into the basement chimney. Well Bret and I never finished the fireplace in the basement we just sheet rocked over it. So there was no way of getting them out quickly. So we looked up what to do and called around. Animal control doesn't work with racoon's, other places would cost over 1000.00 depending on how many were down there and so on. So we read about how other people have gotten them out. So a week later Sunday morning we decided that they were down there long enough and we got the firecrackers, thanks to our neighbors the Tate and we threw some down the chimney and played loud crazy talk radio all day long. Every so many hours Bret would throw down some firecrackers. Lets say that evening when it came dark that mama racoon took her and her babies out and ran. It was a happy day for me, no more dreaming of crazy racoon's and all the possibilities of what they could of done to me and the kids and so on.

All Aboard!

We took Front Runner to Ogden to see the train expo.

Aunty Cassie came along to have fun with the monkeys.

We got on the Front Runner to head to Ogden to see the train expo. Where the kids had a blast. We saw all different types of trains and we even saw trains that were built out of Lego's. It was probably the kids favorite part. Anyways since we rode up on front runner we had to ride back. Long story short on the way back Ty wanted a map (a schedule), Bret told him that when we got off he would grab on for Ty. Anyways well Bret forgot and went to get back on the train and get that map for Ty as he got back on the train took off and so Bret ended up riding down into Salt Lake City and having to wait for it to come back. It was like an hour before he returned home. I laughed so hard and poor Bret was just trying to be the Best Dad he could be. Yes, Ty still has his map. It was a great day and a fun memory.

Trouble?

This is what we call a huge mess of toothpaste. Ilikea loves to brush her teeth and us whoever toothbrush. Well on this particular day she decided not only her teeth needed toothpaste but her whole body needed it too. She took all of her clothes off and create a giant mess. She started to cry when I scolded her and then I had to take a picture. Yes it was fun to clean up as well.

Homework Time

I have tried to do what my kids call homework with them everyday for at least 20 min a day. Ili has decided that she is big enough to do homework as well. Its been fun and I look forward to continuing this with my Children and hopefully I am teaching them a thing or two.

Christmas 12/25/2009

This year we decided to start a new tradition with Christmas. Christmas Eve we had a nice dinner, kids got new PJ's from Mom and Dad, we read the story about our Savior, and tried to put the kids to bed and I mean we sure tried but their excitement was uncontrollable. After they went to bed Santa always rings bells by their window.

Christmas morning has changed for the us, everyone had to be upstairs at the same time in order to go into the front room. The first hour of Christmas morning was spent looking threw our stockings and chatting. Then the next hour they could open one present, clean up the mess and then enjoy what they opened. We have decided that Christmas day goes by way too quickly and they kids don't really enjoy what they receive. So for the whole day we did something for every hour. We opened a present every hour, ate breakfast for one of the hours, went sledding for an hour (actually took 2 hours), made lunch, and enjoyed a lovely dinner as we still wasn't finished opening before the kids fell asleep so the next day we continued with our every hour. Although we went to the dollar theater and enjoyed a family fun day.

I really enjoyed the Christmas Holiday and enjoyed the excitement in my Children's face. I believe that our every hour thing will become a spacial Crockett thing for our family.

Even though we enjoyed the world of Christmas we didn't forget the true meaning of Christmas and we did reelect upon all that our Savior did for us.

Pretty Princesses!

Have you ever played Pretty pretty princess? Oh its a joy at our house, except my girls just want to wear the accessories. Ilikea came over to me and got me dress as a princess today. She kept putting more and more on me. She told me mmama pretty. Oh the joy she brings into my daily life. I love you Ilikeamakapolionalani!!!!

Moments that take your breath away

I just love watching my children sleep next to each other and snuggle each other. They are so cute and amazing. Moments like theses are priceless and make all those other moments of frustration and so on seen like nothing.

As a mom watching they did a awesome job. I love those two!!!

Stocking ??

One of Ilikea's favorite thing to do this year while the stockings were hung by the chimney was stuff herself into them. It was pretty cute cause she would of rather stuff herself in the stocking then see what Santa put inside of her stocking.
