Memory Tag

This is my first time doing a tag, but I thought it would be fun.

1. As a comment on this post, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you know me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty fun to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

I love making memories. :D Hopefully we've had many happy ones together. :D

In the words of the Beattles " Help! I need somebody, Help!...

So, I started a project and realized now that it is WAY OVER MY HEAD!!! Jason's little sister is coming to live with us Labor Day weekend. She's allergic to Dakota, so its given me the PERFECT opportunity to make her an OUTDOOR dog (yea!!! I've been trying to convince Jason to let me do this for a couple of months now). So in order to "detox" our house we have to get everything out of the basement...but I needed to start with the garage. So Jason's bro came and helped me pull everything out of the garage on Tuesday and I've spent the rest of the week working on the rest...yeah...way to big for 1 person to do. So I'm calling in the troops...I need some back up. If any of you can come and help me I would GREATLY appreciate it. We have 2 new students coming from Ecuador on Monday night, so I'm kind of in a crunch. We'll be working on it all day today, tomorrow and Monday. Call me and let me know if you can help me. Thanks so much. Love ya!!!

American Idol Live Tour

We had such an amazing time at the concert. I seriously couldn't believe that I was there! I've never been to a big concert like that. The energy in the arena was high voltage! I got chills when David A. sang his song "When you say you love me". He cried at the end and it was so sweet. Seriously there was more energy in that arena than I've ever felt. At first Jason wasn't terribly excited to be there..for the music. But as the concert went on...he loved the rockers...Michael, Carly and of course David C. He even liked Syesha's song "Listen". I really loved the whole concert...except for Ramielle...sorry I'm not much of a fan of hers. I think that she has a beautiful voice, but she's not much of an entertainer. Chekezie started out the show and he puts on a great performance. They all got to do atleast 3 numbers. My favorites were Christy(surprisingly- she sounds better in person than on the show), Brooke, Syesha, David A, David C. I was so grateful to have won those tickets! It was a great date for Jason and me. Great memories!!!

Just plain Silliness

After looking at our pictures....by the way I LOVE having a digital camera!!! I realized we are just silly! Especially Josh. He loves to grab the camera and just take silly pictures of himself. I love Silliness....its just good fun. ;D

Summer Fun with Cousins

More catching up...Pioneer Trek

So here's a slideshow of our great kids that we had on the trek. We played a lot of get to know you games on our bus ride up there, so that's where the silly names come in. We had such an amazing experience preparing for trek, and spending time with these great kids; even though it was stunted. I'm so excited though b/c I will get to continue my relationship with them, especially the girls b/c I was just sustained as the new YW President in our ward. :D We meet as a stake b/c our numbers are so few. A bit overwhelming, but very exciting!

Crane Family Reunion 2008

Wow! We had a fantastic Family Reunion this year. Because we were doing it over the 4th, our theme was all about patriotism and why we're so lucky to be Americans. Mom did a great job at the activity ideas. We did a flag raising ceremony, and Lewis and Clark expedition in canoes, a patriotic play, and kids parade. We went down to Payson to have fireworks and a marshmellow shooting war, and a ride on a 4 wheeler. We also shared our personal stories of when we've felt patriotic. Plus the usual camping favorites of campfires, smores, dutch oven cooking, and getting DIRTY!! We did a family birthday party and ended the fun with a trip to veterans memorial pool in Provo. Here's a slide show of some of our adventures. Hope you enjoy!
