Food, food, food!!

Okay, we all knew blogging would eventually include food in some form- hey, it's a Crowley gathering, even if it's online. So, I started a "recipe blog" so we can post all our favorite recipes. Brooke, you can create a link to the blog on this blog so we can click on it and go straight to it. I think you have to do it since you started this blog. And I've invited everyone to post, so hopefully it will work. Anyway, tell me what you think! Go to http://crowleyrecipes.blogspot.com/

A Gift From Brett

well, Brett gave me this gift yesterday. He thought it was pretty funny, as do i. By the way this is not a picture of me wearing it; i am working out frequently here but not that good! This is just a picture i found online. Anyways, i thought you guys would find it funny because i sure as heck did. By the way, the dating scene is going good. Brett and i do go on dates a lot but i have gone with another guy a couple times too so we're pretty open with our relationship. Plus, Ben is still a stud! :)

Happy Birthday Devon!

I've never posted a video before, so we'll see if this works!

My camera is not very high quality, so it skips a bit, but you get the jist of it!

Best Friends of College!

Hey family,
I thought that you might like to see the girls that i hang out with all the time, they are all super cool and we do lots of crazy things together!

From left to right and where they are from; Katy from Boise, Kaylin from So. Cal and Brandee from Arizona. They are all awesome!

"I'm not Superstitious....I'm a little stitious"

Okay...so let's hear everyone's reactions to The Office last night. I personally was so mad at the beginning when I thought they were just going to play off the whole Jim/Pam thing- but I was pleasantly suprised. Meredith getting hit with the car was way funny. Anyway, your thoughts...

Kids say the Darnedest things

So tonight I went to a baby shower. I told Caitlin I was going to a party just for mommy. Tonight when I got home I hear her door open (she's supposed to be asleep but heard me come in). So I go in to tuck her back in bed and give her a kiss goodnight. She says "Mommy did you go to your little party?" "Yes, Caitlin." "Did you take my car?" Isn't that funny? First calling it a little party then taking ownership of the car...

A Post from Carrie

I wish I had something cool to talk about, but I just wanted to post something! This picture of Grandpa and Lizzie is from Lake Tahoe; I sent it to Grandpa for his birthday. Isn't it way cute? I'm already really excited for Christmas. This seems to happen earlier every year. I've already told Caitlin in that in a few months we're going to Grandpa and Grandma Crowley's. She's excited. We made two collages the other night, one of pictures of all the Lambourne side and one of all the Crowley side. She liked doing it and gluing pictures all over the place. Then we taped them by her bed. Voila!

Audrey and her bed buddies!

Here is what Audrey does when she goes to bed: she loads her bed with tons of 'treasures' or 'stuff' as she calls it and then somehow wedges her way in between everything and goes to sleep. Troy and I have to unload her bed before we go to sleep. I took a few pictures of some recent nights. It's so weird!

Emergency Preparedness?

So...we had this FHE tonight about food storage and emergency preparedness. Usually I just decide that that is something I don't need to worry about, but I feel like I don't have an excuse anymore. Especially considering I live right by a park called Fault Line Gardens... anyway, so they gave us some good pointers and ideas, but I'm just wondering if any of you wise elders of mine have good tips for getting started.

p.s. ARE WE ALL EXCITED FOR THE SEASON PREMIER OF THE OFFICE THIS WEEK???? (Dad and Mom- you can read all about it on the blog on Friday)

I think this is great. Good work Brooke. So

things are good here in Utah. Here's a picture I took after we beat UCLA last week. So, I'm officially a Ute now! I'm really liking SLC (not in a permanent kind of a way, but for now).

Here's Dev with a fish Cam caught when Troy and Uncle Nathan took them fishing over Labor Day. They keep asking me to cook it. I will never cook a fish as long as I live....

Okay everyone, I thought it would be fun to start a family blog so we can all post and share pictures and whatever is going on in our exciting lives. I am totally neglecting my children while I set this up so I hope you all appreciate it! But darn it, I am going to do something other than clean up poop, repeat myself, cut waffles, nurse and break up fights.

Here's a pic of "Little A" or "A Bomb" as he's usually called, I'm not sure why. He's got the cutest little smile but won't do it when I have a camera in front of my face! I'll keep trying. He's growing so fast!
