Fall in Iowa

We love fall in Iowa. This year is a little colder than last, but still good. We went to Howell's pumpin patch a couple times. Dave got to pick his own pumpkin (he is very proud). He also loves crunching the leaves. We can't go anywhere without stopping to stomp on a few leaves first. He gets really mad when it rains and I won't let him jump in the soggy ones. Hope you're all enjoying fall like we are. Look for extra cute Halloween pics to come soon!

2 years old!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVID!

I can't believe my baby is 2 years old! What happened? Here are some pics of Davie on his second birthday. He's pretty much the cutes kid ever! Thanks to everyone for all the great presents. He was completely spoiled!

Can I open them yet?
This is what happens when you tell him to smile at the camera one too many times.

Davie painted this with his on his bithday (Jason wrote his name)

David and Daddy

David and Ashtyn helped me make the cake... and lick the beaters. They kept saying, "We're messy" with huge smiles of course.

The turtle cake

Blowing out the candles, he did really well, but needed a little help.

the best part. David got the eat the head.

Two Little Monkeys

David and Ashtyn have been singing so much lately and it is adorable! Ashtyn of course, sings the whole song. David just sings his favorite parts. In nursery they get to clap when they finish a song, so Davie cheers for himself everytime he finishes a song at home too. We're so proud.

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.
