4 years and counting!

Jason and I celebrated our 4th anniversary this year.

Yeah for us!

I love you Jason Blair!

August at the Crofts

August has been a great month! Here's what we've been up to...

The heat and humidity finally arrived in full force. Luckily David loves the swimming pool, and the sprinklers, and somtimes even the squit-bottle will work.

David and I took a trip to the fire station with our friends. We got the see all the big fire engines 'whee-oh whee-oh' and David even climbed inside! (of course I forgot the camera, but he still looked cute with his hat and badge.)
We took a little trip to Raccoon River park. Despite the rain, we had a great time on the playground. (We aren't tough enough to swim in the lake when its raining.)

Summer Fun

Since Jason was about to start school we decides to cram in as much fun as we could the last few days. A couple of our favorites were a trip to Ledges State park and Racoon River Park. Here are our pics from Ledges. It was beautiful there! David's favorite part was, of course, playing in the water. He also liked climbing all the stone steps. Racoon River was probably his favorite though. There's a lake with a 'beach' and he had a blast swimming. Again the water thing. At least I know what will make him happy. Now, Jason's back to school and we'll have to save the trips for later. Summer is too short.

Idaho Vacation!

We're Home! We had a wonderful vacation to Idaho this last month. It was quite the drive, but well worth it. Thanks to Davie for being mostly good in the car. David was completely spoiled by both sets of grandparents, and even some great grandparents. He thought it was great. We had tons of fun with all the family their. We even went swimming and camping at Island Park. Now we're finally home and have a few days to play still before Jason starts school again.

Little Boy

I've decides that David looks so much like a little boy lately and less and less like a baby. He is growing up way too fast. Very handsome though. Check out some of these adorable pictures!

Tweet Tweet

For a few days last week Jason had been saying that he thought we had a mouse in our walls. I told him he was imagining it, mostly because I was hoping he was. Then friday afternoon I was playing with David in the living room and I could definately hear something running around in the cealing and scratching at the vents trying to get out. GROSS! So I went down to the office to tell them we had a mouse problem, came back, and Davie and I started eating lunch. I heard our little mistery visitor run to the kitchen ceiling vent to try to escape. I could see the little claws poking out of the vent. Then something else started coming out, a beak! I have to admit that although having a bird stuck in our walls is still unsettling, I was very glad it wasn't a mouse/rat. Soon the bird fell down the shaft and into the bottom vent and was now going crazy. (You can see the feathers sticking out in the pic.) David was pointing to the vent saying uh-oh, Uh-Oh, UH-OH! Long story short, Dave was afraid to go into the kitchen and we had to wait almost an hour for the maintenance guys to come help me get the bird out. The next day David was still a bit skiddish by the vent and would point and say "tweet tweet". The real mistery is how the bird got in the vent in the first place!

Easter

We hope everyone had a Happy Easter! We sure did.

Some moms in the neighborhood put together an Easter egg hunt for the kinds on Saturday. The weather was perfect and we had such a good time.

By the end of the hunt, Dave decided throwing the eggs was much more fun than putting them in the basket.

David decorated eggs...

and himself.

David had the time of his life finding Easter eggs on Sunday morning

Discovering Jelly Beans
now we frequently hear "Mor-Means" (more beans)
