| One of the sweet Oasis' during the desert times of being a single parent while Jason was living in WA before we moved up, He surprised us by showing up at his Niece's baptism. It was a tearful reunion! Just the balm I needed to get through things before we could be reunited permanently. |
 |
| This little cheeser decided to walk the weekend her daddy surprised us! It was so awesome that daddy didn't have to miss his baby girl's first steps. |
 |
| She is going to have the brightest teeth! Her favorite place to be is in the bathroom sink, brushing her teeth! |
 |
| Celebrating Aliya's 1st Birthday! My 2nd time making a decorative cake. It was really fun! I love to bake! Princess Carriage Cake for our little Princess! |
 |
| My little mischievous one! 18 mos and climbing out of her crib on top of the dresser where she found the desitin, its been a love affair ever since...when ever she can find it, its in her mouth, on her face and all over her clothes, or the mirrors, ya know whatever looks the funnest! |
 |
| Got to visit our "new" cousin's, the Oregon Pugmires. We stayed in Kizi's room and Aliya LOVED this little chair! |
 |
| While at the Pugmire's we got to go to their barn and see the horses and Josh got to drive the mini 4 wheeler, which he wrecked! Luckily it was more of just a shake up. A good healthy dose of fear...in the name of being less reckless served its purpose! |
 |
| Meet Farmer Jonathon and Farmer Jason having fun on the tractor. |
 |
| 2 of the most beautiful Cowgirls I know! |
 |
| The day I found out that things on the counter or stove were no longer safe, b/c Aliya figured out how to use her high chair as a ladder. Yes, that is Pure, Sugary, Sticky Syrup that by using the ladle she spilled over the stove, counter top and inbetween all the way down to the floor. It was SO much fun to clean up! |
 | |
| These are some of the coolest and sweetest girls in the tri-cities. I'm blessed to call them my friends. This is us in the theater at the VIP showing of New Moon. Before moving to WA I hadn't even picked up the Twilight books, now I'm a fan. I read the whole series before I went to the show. ;D |
 |
| Yeah that's me and I'm totally rock climbing for the first time! I was so excited because I rushed up as far as I could go and I was within a foot of grabbing the bell to ring it, but my legs were so fatigued, they were shaking and I just couldn't stand up to reach it...so I used my rope and pulled myself of with my arms...don't know if that's cheating but it was a great feeling to ring the bell! |
 |
| Yes, we have no shame! This is "Crazy Hair" day at Girls Camp |
 |
| Our amazing Wingsong Ward Girls! Such a privilege to work with such amazing girls! The theme for Girls Camp was "Heavenly Ever After". I had a blast being a leader with the 2nd years, they even got my tush over the 20' wall during the ropes course. -I also pranked the Stake President into thinking I was one of the girls, he asked where I was going to be attending college. LOL |
 |
| In August we got to make a family trip to Utah for 3 weeks. We got to attend some amazing classes and see most of both sides of the family. Josh loved playing with his cousins. It was a great trip! |
 |
| Grandma Crane went out and danced in the rain with Josh. I love the expression on his face! He's freezing but he's having too much fun to come in and get warm! |
 |
| Josh is such a great big brother. He taught Aliya how to ride on his shoulders. Its one of their favorite things to do. |
 |
| Josh begged me for him to be a skeleton this year for Halloween. I'm too cheap to buy costumes, so with my anatomy and drawing skills, I had fun making skeleton costumes for both Josh and Aliya. I had Josh lay down on an old white sheet to get his outline so it would be the right proportion to his body then drew the bones and cut them out and pinned them to black clothes. :D |
 |
| The kids favorite time is SNUGGLE time with Daddy! They adore him and I love it. |
 |
| As a family, we paid a tribute to our local fire dept by making brownies for them. We weren't expecting it, but they gave us a personal tour of the fire trucks and ambulance. It was really fun. Aliya kept holding her arms out to the firemen to be held. It was very sweet. |
 |
| Aliya, our fashion queen showing off her latest style. Maybe we need to do a lesson on Modesty for our next FHE. :D |
 |
| For Thanksgiving we Celebrated the day with our dear friends here in WA, but after speaking to all the Crane family gathered at Mom and Dad's we just couldn't stand not being there, so with some assistance (THANK YOU! -you know who you are) we were able to surprise the family and spend the rest of the weekend. Sledding, Games, Food and we got to be a part of our Niece's blessing day. It was a great trip home! |
 |
| T'was the Night before Christmas...and we started a new tradition of the kids being able to open one gift, Christmas eve...PAJAMAS! I always loved this tradition from my fam..so we're keeping it going. |

 |
| Mansions and Log cabins with Gummy Bear Nativity was a great activity for us to fill up the days before Christmas |
