The Joy of Winter...

2010-01-13T08:00:00.000-08:00

Went sledding at Mount Dell Golf Course at Christmas!!! It was a lot of fun and Great exercise for us all except Lexi she had it easy!! We spent a few days and grandma and grandpa crossman's time share in Midway. Nice little vacation!!

Fun Christmas Day

2010-01-13T07:54:00.000-08:00

This year's Christmas was a lot of fun!! I don't know if it was the excitment that we saw in Isaac or the fact that we kept Lexi busy all day long with her new doll toys. It was pure enjoyment to watch my kids this year!! Maybe I'm realizing that they won't stay little forever and that I need to soak up each moment I have!! That is why my blogging has been a long time coming.

Princess Kylee and her dance performance

2010-01-13T07:37:00.000-08:00

Our dear sweet Kylee had her second dance recital in the beginning of December!! She did amazing and was so excited about it!! When she came to sit by us after she got done dancing the first words out of her mouth were "where are my flowers?" Like I knew you got me some so you better be giving them to me now!! She loves to dance and she is definitely ALL GIRL, attitude and all!!

LEXI....

2010-01-13T07:27:00.000-08:00

Yes in the top pictures she does have make up on!! Lately we've had issues because Lexi has figured out how to open doors!!! Ugh

A few months ago we found out that Lexi had a popcorn husk in her bronchial tube and that is why she had been wheezing for 6 months!! Can you imagine having something stuck in your airway? It was close to going into the lung, but very luck it didn't and that she didn't get pneumonia from where the husk was.

Anyway we are always on our toes with this little girl around!!

Halloween

2010-01-13T07:22:00.000-08:00

This was a fun time at Halloween for all of us Crossman's!! We had the Swine Flu the week before Halloween. Luckily Lexi didn't have it too bad and the rest of the kiddo's were pretty mild as well!! However I had it the worse and Robert he didn't get it...though I was hoping he would because he had a work business trip the next week!! Halloween was very mild as we were all recovering from lack of energy!!

Happy Birthday Lexi!!

2010-01-13T07:13:00.000-08:00

Lexi turned 2!! She had a great day as if you can't tell!! Her favorit bday gift was her princess scooter!! I love this age. I just hope I can enjoy every moment of her before I no longer have a baby....Oh wait she really isn't a baby any more is she? She is so cute with Isaac and Kylee!!

Getting Ready for the BAPTISM....

2009-07-17T20:34:00.000-07:00

I had awesome pictures taken of Isaac and my family last week!! I seriously don't know where the time has gone!!! I remember as if it was yesterday trying to get him born, now here it is 8 years later and I just pray that I have taught him everything he needs to know at this crucial time in his life. I ask him questions and I'm surprised at how much he knows and understands. He seems to understand far greater than I did at this age.

Baseball has come to an END!!

2009-06-10T08:30:00.000-07:00

This year has been lots of fun for baseball. Isaac has had a great year and a great team. His coach was amazing to have such dedication at this age for baseball. We have seen Isaac improve immensely!! We are so proud of him for doing his best. Robert also made a deal with Isaac that if he hits it into the out field that he would pay him $5 for every time. I think he got paid at least $20 this year. Here are some fun pictures that we took.

Graduation

2009-05-25T08:11:00.000-07:00

Okay some how we lost our camera battery charger and that is why this post has taken so long because I wanted to download the pictures. Knowing Lexi she most likely threw it away in the trash can.

All I can say is WOW!! Kylee had Preschool Graduation this past week. Everything was done perfectly!! If you are looking for preschool I would recommend Riverton High School. They have done a wonderful job with everything. When I told Kylee that today was her last day of school she got all sad, not only for her friends that she had made but the teachers.

Good Times....

2009-04-30T09:53:00.000-07:00

We went on a little trip to St. George this last weekend!! It was a much needed getaway!! We rented a house with our best friends the Thomason Family. As we were driving home Robert and I were shocked at something Kylee had said. It was Isaac's turn to pick a movie to watch and he made the comment that it had to be something that Kylee didn't like (she couldn't have any pleasure in it). So Kylee proceed to tell Isaac that she hates the Barbie Mariposa movie!! She was smart enough to tell her bro that she didn't like it so that he would put it in. However Isaac saw right thru that one because he is no dummy either.

Mess after Mess with Lexi around!!

2009-04-18T15:46:00.001-07:00

Isaac left hot chocolate on the counter after a cold practice of baseball. However as I have told all my children that they can't leave any drinks on the island or dinner table because Lexi can climb up and get anything on them. It seems like we keep having these issues and I don't think they will end unless my kids face the facts that nothing is sacred!! Part of me feel like they think it is funny almost intentionally!! See mom scream and see her clean it up and don't forget to laugh as mom carries Lexi to the tub!!

Easter

2009-04-13T10:19:00.000-07:00

This is at grandma's house with cousin Izzy

Easter is done!! The dresses are done and I'll have to make some miner adjustments but all is well!! We took the dresses off after church and then off and on again two more times for grandmas to see!! They turned out to be really cute. I'm glad I attempted to make them and for my mother's help!!

This Easter thing isn't that bad!! I love Chocolate!!

What is this Easter thing about?

When your tired...

2009-04-13T10:02:00.001-07:00

When your tired and looking for your Binky...sometimes you just have to give up the fight!! Lexi fell asleep while looking for her Binky. Robert and I were noticing the house was too quiet and went to check to see where the trouble maker went. To our surprise she was fast asleep under the crib!!

Kylee's Happy Birthday!!

2009-04-06T06:46:00.001-07:00

My sweet Kylee is turning 5 today!! Where does the time go? From the moment that we found out that she was a girl we have loved every moment with her. I can't believe she will start Kindergarten in the fall this year!! She is pretty easy going child and has been her whole life!! Heavenly Father knew that I needed an easy child between two more challenging!!

Time.....

2009-03-30T12:29:00.000-07:00

Okay so maybe I was thinking that I had too much time on my hands!!! I decided that this year instead of spending $50 a piece on Easter Dresses I would learn how to use my sewing machine that I got a few Christmas ago and make the Easter dresses with my mom's help!! As you can see in the picture we are close to being done!! However I really should have chosen easier fabric to sew with. But I couldn't make a dresses that looked homemade, plus I knew when Robert told me not to do it that made it a challenge. Easter is a couple more weeks and I am headed for the finish line!!

Lexi....

2009-03-19T11:09:00.000-07:00

Yesterday while I was checking email and Kylee was at preschool Lexi went into Isaac's bedroom and found bubble gum tape. She shut the door to his room and when I went to find her there was gum every where with tiny pieces and a huge wad of gum in her mouth!! I tell ya she is going to be the death of me. She goes from one thing to the next. She is pure trouble!!! She is smart to so don't give me that she is innocent!!

Have you ever taken a 7 year old and 4 year old skiing??

2009-03-17T16:11:00.000-07:00

You might want to reconsider when about to go on this adventure!! This was my second time going skiing and the first was 7 years ago when Isaac was a baby!! Really I was not much help to Rob. He had both Isaac and Kylee in between his legs while trying to do the tow rope at Alta. Isaac has been skiing before but apparently it had been too long. We did the tow rope until 3 pm and then two of the lifts were free so we attempted that. The first time Rob and I went down and then he took Kylee down. They had a small problem when Kylee's ski's crossed over Robert's and they instantly were in trouble. Kylee told me that her dad landed on her and her face was in the snow. Then Isaac and Rob went down and they did great. However we were in a rush and it was a battle to get the kids to the car because they were done and unfortunately we parked on the wrong side. We had only and hour to get home change pick up Lexi and go to Disney on Ice that started at 6:30!! Our good friends Spencer and Kelsey were there too. Both Rob and Spencer said that it is well worth it for ski lessons and that they would do that next before attempting this again. Click here to see the adventure!

Shoes may go...and come

2009-03-16T20:54:00.000-07:00

If any of you truly know Robert then you know where this one will lead you...
Saturday morning we rushed to get ready because we had a full day planned!! As I held Lexi in my arms, about to put her in the car seat to go rent ski's for Isaac, Kylee and I. Robert willing took her and put her in as doing so he put Lexi's shoes on top of the car. When we arrived at Sports Authority and hop out he says "Kim did I give you her shoes?" I replied "NO". He casually says "oh well she was out growing them anyway."

As we load back in the car and are headed up 118th South, he quickly pulls over to the side to get out and chase the shoes that he miss placed. As he is running across the street Kylee says "Look at that cop he is going to run over Lexi's shoes." She is getting really upset and then Isaac says to her "Kylee it is Dad's fault for putting the shoes on top of the car!!" Needless to say we recovered the shoes and not even a mark was on them after their journey.

Sometimes we are faced with hard things...

2009-01-27T11:00:00.000-08:00

This is my dad in the hospital on Christmas... He spent several days in the hospital when his finger became swollen and red with red streaks going up his arm. As many doctors tried to figure out what was happening with his finger it started to turn black at the tip. Needless to say with many hours in the hospital and even after getting out of the hospital with IV treatments and Hyper barrack Chamber treatments for two weeks after the visit in the hospital they have decided that tomorrow is the day that they will amputate the tip of his finger. I am amazed at my dad and how well he has done through all of this. I know this is an extremely hard thing for him to go through right now seeing how tax season is right around the corner. I just hope that all goes well tomorrow.

Good Old Time... Happy Birthday Ya Old Man!!

2009-01-07T09:43:00.000-08:00

Our dear friends from high school got together on Robert's birthday!! Ryan and Ember live in Denver and decided that they were going to rent out this bounce house in Sandy for the night. It was so much fun to see everyone. It has been a long time since we have seen a lot of them. We had a great night and Robert really enjoyed his birthday because he could act like a kid and hang out with friends!!

Have any of you ever had to call Poison Control?

2009-01-07T09:12:00.000-08:00

Last night I had the great adventure of calling poison control. Isaac came into the family room last night with a bottle of Listerine. I asked him what he was doing and he replied I am going to use this. When he had his surgery he had to use it to keep his mouth clean. I told him that he had to go put it back. If you all know Isaac he didn't put it back. However I told him that he need to be in the bathroom because you don't swallow it and need to spit it out. I went to go check my email and Lexi came into the office. I picked her up and she smelled of Listerine. I quickly asked Isaac why she smells and he gave me a lame excuse that her elbow got in it. A few minutes went buy and I went to give her milk and noticed the smell directly from her mouth. Again I questioned my seven year old son!! Yes he finally said I gave her a syringe full of it. With the urge to strangle a seven year old I quickly grabbed the bottle of Listerine that says keep away from children and if swallowed more than the dose then call poison control. As I sent Isaac to his bed I dialed poison control to find out what I needed to do. The lady was very nice and said that I need to keep her awake for an hour to watch her. basically she was drunk from the alcohol in the Listerine and I need to make sure she wasn't too sleepy. While watching her she would run into walls and was walking wobbly. Lexi seemed to be fine but I don't recommend giving Listerine to a 14 month old. The lady at poison control said what would make your seven year old give her Listerine? I said well it is Isaac. She laughed and said that maybe you should talk to him a little more and say whatever isn't good for you is not good for your baby sister. Word to the wise stay clear of Listerine.

2009-01-07T08:54:00.000-08:00

This is the best picture that we have of Lexi. She doesn't like to sit still long. I waited too long to find them Christmas dresses this year. We had to piece them together from all the different stores to make them work!! At least I saved money!!

Isaac got a new suit for Christmas this year. The girls always get new Sunday Clothes but Isaac never gets them for Christmas. He was so pleased with himself. I think that he totally loved it!! We don't have long before he gets baptized!!

Lights at Temple Square

2008-12-16T09:43:00.001-08:00

Last night for family night we went to Temple Square to see the lights. It was very cold but fun to see the nativity and to feel the Christmas spirit.

Dancing Kylee!!

2008-12-16T09:34:00.001-08:00

Kylee had a dance performance on Saturday!! It was what she had been waiting for all month. Her teacher Ms Lindsey told me that she was the leader of the group!! She knew all her dance moves and even practiced them at home by pointing her finger at her baby sister saying "You don't know what were going to do!!" Unfortunately we had a little problem with recording the performance due to error by her father who accidentally turned the wrong button on the camera!! We have yet been able or wanted to tell our daughter that we don't have it recorded!! Wish us luck when we have to tell her!!

Gingerbread Houses at Grandma's

Happy Birthday

2008-11-22T10:28:00.000-08:00

Today has started out great!! I got breakfast in bed by my family. I also got several phone calls from family and friends to wish me a great day. However my favorite was my brother's phone call because he said that life will go by faster and I said yeah I know it already seems to be getting faster as is. Then he said like when you turn 40 and then I said yes and you'll be 52...He stopped right there and didn't want to go further. It is nice to be the youngest in the family!! My husband got me the WII fit that I had been wanting. We've been trying it out and I am loving it. It has been a great day so far the only thing that would make it better would be BYU beating Utah.

Rivalry Week

2008-11-21T13:14:00.000-08:00

Here comes down to the final and most important game BYU vs Utah. Late last night we had a neighbor sneak into our garage and put a licence frame around Robert's car plates. I do have to admit that I did help and really it was quite fun. My neighbor called to see if Robert has been out of town because his car is usually parked on the driveway. I said no last weekend we moved bikes to the shed so that he could fit his car in the garage. To her dismay they had been planning this trick for sometime. Being the great neighbor and friend that cheers for the same team I agreed to leave the garage open. While I and others went to the midnight showing of Twilight my neighbor came over and snuck under the garage that was slightly opened. The timing couldn't have been better because as he was putting the final touches on, Robert opened the garage door to throw away a stinky diaper when he noticed that the garage door was up a little. He went to shut the door and that is when the neighbor rolled out just in time. I waited and wondered when Robert would see his new addition to the car. Around 10:00 am I started to get phone calls from him. I was on the phone and didn't answer the other line. When I finally talked to him he said who did it? I tried to lead him astray but it didn't work. He knew exactly who it was... I said when did you noticed it and he replied when I went to get my laptop out of the trunk of my car!! I think it is great because little do you know that Robert was planning on giving them Utah cups but changed his mind because he liked the cups too well to give them away. Now my only fear is that his retaliation will be a lot worse than just a licence plate frame!!!

Surgery for Isaac!!

2008-11-06T14:44:00.000-08:00

Today was the day that I had been dreading for at least three weeks now. Isaac had surgery on his mouth where he had a growth on his gum. The Dr. told me to prepare Isaac for his surgery date so that he could act like a big kid. Knowing Isaac anyone of you might laugh at this task, just ask anyone who has seen him freak out at cutting his toenails!! He went in nervous as all get out. When the time came for us to separate from him he did really good. The nurse said that he did great when they hooked up the IV. When he woke up he was funny because he was seeing double. He said "Dad you have four eyeballs!!" Somethings I just couldn't stop laughing. The Dr. said that they took some of his bone on his lower teeth and that hopefully the body will take care of the rest. I guess you don't grow more bone there. We go back in a week for a checkup. For now Isaac is on a liquid and soft food diet!! He also gets to do cold pack every other 20 minutes that he is thrilled about and a bandage that goes around his head that he has to wear for two days!!

2008-11-05T13:42:00.000-08:00

Robert and Isaac were helping my dad grout the new rock put on their house. It was really cute because Isaac was a hard worker. Then after it was done Isaac goes up to my mom and says grandma are you going to pay me for the work that I did? Totally embarrassed I said that she didn't need to pay him. My mom then informed me that she told him in the beginning that she would pay him. Now I knew why he didn't stop to play and kept on working. Isaac loves money!! He even gets the neighbor Chris to throw him the football for money. Grandma Ronda also feeds his frenzy of money when he goes over to visit she allows him to count her pennies in her big jar, then depending how many he counts he gets to keep some. Now the harder part is for Isaac to save the money and not blow it on whatever he see next at the store!!

Halloween 2008

2008-11-03T18:08:00.000-08:00

Halloween came and Isaac was not feeling good the night before. He threw up Thursday night and I knew that his Halloween experience was going to be changed. He didn't sleep much that night so it was hard to wake him the next morning. Depending on how he felt I wasn't going to make him go. However he knew that if he showed any signs of being sick I would indeed keep him home from school the biggest day of the year when you have a party. I made him his oatmeal and he just sat there staring at it. I knew right away that he wasn't going to stay home by his lame excuse of it isn't the right oatmeal. Any other day Isaac would stay home in a heart beat. As we proceed to getting ready he keeps laying down on the floor. I said Isaac maybe today isn't a good day to go to school. Then he whined I am fine I want to go. I drop him off at school and I gave him the rules to call me if by an means he can't make it. Time goes by and I don't hear from him while he is at school. I pick him up and he seems to be doing okay.

I had made a doctor visit for Lexi and also scheduled the kids to get their flu shots. The only thing is I decided not to tell them about it which is very unlike me. Isaac and Kylee fell asleep on the way to the doctor. We see Dr. Dan and Isaac is very lifeless. Very unusual for him for anyone that knows him. The nurse comes in to give Lexi her one year old shots and the two flu shots. Isaac noticed how she said shots and then who wants to go first. I sheepily smiled and said hey guys we are going to get our flu shots today. The screams burst through their little bodies. After the screams were done Isaac said that he would go after his sister. Kylee fights it a little more and then I held her for the nurse to give the shot. Isaac now knows it is his turn and starts to cry again. I then picked him up (As most of you know Isaac is almost the same size as me which makes it difficult to pick him up). The nurse says do I need to go get Dr. Dan to help us and Isaac screams NO.... he then pleads with the nurse not to put it in all the way. So she explains it one more time and how fast it is. Sure enough as soon as she put it in he stopped crying and says "that didn't hurt at all." And he was done, no crying, nothing. The nurse gave them treats because after all it was Halloween and this is the only day that they would get treats from the doctor office.

We headed home and again Isaac falls asleep. We get home and he lays on the couch and goes back to sleep. We have dinner and he doesn't eat anything. All day long I don't think he ate anything. It starts to get dark and his cousins are on there way to come go trick or treating. He lays on the floor and we get him dress and he says "Do you think Kylee will take my bag and get candy for me while she trick or treats." It just broke my heart that he had to be sick on that night. He did ride around in the stroller. By the end of the night he was ready to get into his bed!! Hopefully next year he won't be sick!!

2008-10-29T09:44:00.000-07:00

Isaac had his last fall soccer game last Saturday. He played really good. I love to see him improve. The whole team really played good this last game and we can't wait to see what happens in the spring. I'm glad that Isaac got the chance to play and have great friends on his team. Now we have to get ready for Jr. Jazz basketball which is always fun and entertaining.

2008-10-28T12:24:00.000-07:00

We went to the school Carnival on Friday night. Isaac was a pirate, Kylee was a witch and Lexi was tinker bell. We spent two an half hours there. Let me tell you that the kids had a blast. Isaac and Kylee both came home with different colors of hair. We decided that painting Kylee's face wasn't fun and now we know for Halloween night not to do that.

2008-10-28T09:32:00.000-07:00

Lexi started walking the night Robert was out of town. She just walked everywhere that night. It was a lot of fun to see her. She has been standing up in the middle of the floor for at least two months now. Our trouble at the Crossman household will surely be higher now that she can walk.

2008-10-20T09:06:00.000-07:00

Alexis first birthday

2008-10-20T08:07:00.000-07:00

It doesn't matter how much you don't want them to turn 1, it still happens. I didn't realize how hard of time I was going to have with this moment. But it is here and we try to capture every moment that we could. We went to Gardner Village to see the witches on her Birthday. It was very fun to be there and enjoy the atmosphere as everyone was out and about. Afterwards we went to the pumpkin patch. Lexi has brought a lot of joy into our family and we are very grateful that she is apart of us. I keep thinking back to last year at this time, the sweet baby that I held in my arms. Isaac asked me this morning as we were taking him to school is Lexi still a baby now that she is one. I said yes but I didn't know if that was because I still want her to be little.

Kylee's First Day of Preschool

2008-10-06T09:19:00.000-07:00

Today is Kylee's first day of preschool at Riverton High School. She is so excited to go to the same school as Derrick her older cousin!! We cut her hair on Friday and it made me want to cry as I saw five inches of her hair on the ground. My baby girl is getting so big and she is looking really old now with her hair cut.

Spending time in Denver

2008-09-16T09:38:00.000-07:00

Lexi loved the music part of the museum

All the kids loved the air coming out of the holes

Kylee really liked the puppets

Most of all Isaac really liked to play with his old friend Katelyn

2008-09-16T08:52:00.000-07:00

She has a real cheezy smile sometimes!!

We went to Denver last week. While we were there I got Lexi's 9 months pictures taken. Yeah I know she is almost 11 but at least I got them done!!

I Love To See The Temple

2008-09-04T19:07:00.000-07:00

Kylee was in one of her singing moods. I captured this with my camera and decided to share it with you. Most of the time you can find Kylee dancing or singing!!

We have butterflies in our tummies!!

2008-08-26T13:50:00.000-07:00

Day at Lagoon!!

2008-08-26T13:37:00.001-07:00

We went to Lagoon. It was a lot of fun. Both Robert and I haven't been for 10 years. It was a lot of fun to take Isaac and Kylee. They really liked it.

2008-08-10T20:51:00.000-07:00

We have done a lot of fun things this past week thanks to Robert's job. We went to Discovery at Gateway, Hoggle Zoo, Kennecott mine tour, Thanksgiving Point and Clark Planetarium. It was fun to see everything and be together.

2008-08-10T20:48:00.000-07:00

Allison and Baby Owen Charles on August 4th. He is really cute and looks like his brothers!!

2008-07-23T09:42:00.000-07:00

Isaac played machine pitch baseball for Herriman. He loved hitting the ball and sliding into bases. His Dad was the assistant coach and Jeff Andrus was the head coach. It was a lot of fun to be on the same team with Miles Andrus and Coleman Chidester.

2008-07-22T21:20:00.000-07:00

This is us para sailing in the Caribbean. It was a lot of fun and the best part was that Robert got a little scared when it was time to go back in the boat.

Finally!

2008-07-22T16:44:00.001-07:00

Our blog is up and running!! Yay!
