The FUN Beauty of Art!

So we didn't get a chance to really do much for Father's Day this year besides eating out at El Pedro's. So...what better way to celebrate DAD then for David and Brey to spend time together at the Children Museum Of Phoenix...even if it is a week later!

Travis and Sara with their little bunch of cuties came too! Breyonna was so cute to watch when she gets into her "Discovery" mode. She had a BLAST!

And David was right along side her at everything she was doing with a big grin on his face too! Which was really nice to see considering when we first got to the museum, he asked... "Why do they even charge Adults if the Adults aren't gonna have fun here?".

AWE...who knew art could be just as entertaining as it is pretty?!

Can I Get Some WATER To Go With This HEAT Please?!

Seriously... can i just say that.... it feels like we are in an oven here in Phoenix, just a roasting away! Whoa Baby its HOT these days! Now that i put so much emphasis on the heat...Here we are at the Tempe Town Lake Splash Pad having the best of time playing in the water. It was pretty darn fun!

Life Outside Of The States

There has been a lot of people lately asking me how my brother is doing on his mission. So, I decided to let you see for yourself :)

Elder Stroud is doing really good. He is absolutely loving it there because he has fallen in love with the good people of the Dominican Republic. He says they are a very giving people. Even if they dont have much at all they would give you the shirt off their back! He also says that when he and his comp are out tracting, that hardly anyone turns them away. That even if they may not be interested in the gospel then they are usally still pretty nice and welcoming.

He has lived in Santiago, Nibaje, and Monte Christi. He was only in Monti Christi for these last two weeks. Now he just transfered again and is now living near Nibaje. He has never became Senior Comp or Zone Leader or District Leader yet. But he is now the Secretary of the mission.

This September, will be his one year mark! Time is flying!

We are super proud of him for all the sacrifices it takes to leave "Your" life behind and serve the Lord for two whole years! I couldn't even imagine. We are even more proud that he seems to be taking the experience to heart and is doing his best!

OREO...Milks FAVORITE Cookie!!

Awe...who knew a dirty face could look so cute!!! I mean really!

Breyonna sure knows how to make a little thing like an Oreo look

so appealing! Yummy!

What Happens In Utah..is FUN!

Heres a slideshow containing extra pictures of a few of the many things we did on trips to Utah! Ok... so maybe it was more relaxing than anything but relaxing is fun especially when youre a mom!

Splish Splash!

Brey had a little Water Party for her cousins this past thursday. It was a few hours of Pizza, Slip n Slides and Pool Splashin'. The kids seemed to enjoy the time together. Man.. I cant believe how fast they grow! Hayley is a gorgous girl who has a very fun personality. Aaron...he is such a cutie. Everthing he says cracks me up. He's a silly stud. Teancum, Sinjon and Arielle are growing so fast. They are cute! So close in age so they look like they play well together. It was nice to see them. We'll have to see them all again soon.

Of Brey's Many Faces...Here are our Faves!

This kid of ours just cracks us up!!! She is so much fun for us! We would be so lost without her!!!Brey is such a character! Here are some pics of some of our favorite faces she makes. The first one is when her dad was running the riding lawn mower at Gramma and Grandpa Crawfords home and she got scared to death...and thats an understatement.. when we tried to put her on it with him! Although it was sad to see her so scared...that face really is priceless!

The next pic is her "Let me strike a quick pose while im eating these delicious mandrin oranges!" And of course the last two pics is of Brey in the bath as she is making yet another attempt at making the famous Fish Face!

Check Out My Fancy New Ride....Vroom Vroom!

David had this adorable car waiting at home for Brey from our recent Utah Trip together. Breyonna fell in love with it!! This is her insisting on taking it for one last spin around the block before she is sent to bed. Oh... and yes i know that its like 95 degrees outside in phoenix and thats just at night but, Brey insisted she had to put it on in order to go outside....boy we must have instilled it in her poor little head real good from our up north camping trip..oops.

She also had her little tinkerbell four wheeler out there. she kept switching back and forth. she really enjoyed riding them off the curb. And she got a kick out of trying to run us over! What a Meanie!
