Crowley Theater/ Sleep Over!!!

Chase and I truly love children in general, but have a special place in our heart for the High Boys. We have always enjoyed hanging out with them and Chase will even choose to play with them instead of talking with the adults upstairs. He is really just a 5 year old inside so he gets excited when they come over. We decided to give their hard working parents a break and have them come over to Crowley Theater and stay the night!

First we went and got pizza, burgers, fries, tacos, and sandwiches for dinner. (not healthy, but I am their aunt not their mom...I am fun not healthy!)

Then we came home and ate it all! Dallin had 3 pieces of pizza and a bread stick, Cade had a piece of pizza, bread stick, fries, and hamburger, and Carter had a piece of pizza, bread stick, fries, and really any everything he saw he wanted to try! I was so SHOCKED by how much they ate that I had to tell Ashley...good luck feeding them when they are teenagers!
They love taking pictures on my camera so here is one of the many they took! This was the only one with someone looking and of course it's me looking!
Here are the boys ready with their "pretend" money to spend at Crowley Theater! They were so excited to play their "game" as Dallin called it!
Here are some of the signs around the theater. "No talking, no throwing popcorn, and no touching your brothers." Each came with a picture to explain the rule. However none of them were followed by any of us...opps!

Here is the happy cashier! He hates pictures so he refuses to smile! I told you... he is a 5 year old! Gotta love him!

Dallin and Cade ready to use their money and get popcorn, candy, and soda! They were so happy!

Carter didn't really grasp the concept and just wanted to give him all his money instead of counting it out so he can get his candy. So cute!

Their soda's were as big as their heads. Uncle Chase had fun picking those out!

Their all ready to watch the movie!

After the movie they all started dancing! I thought it was the cutest thing so I taped it!

This morning we watched movies, played with toyes, made cookies, and ate a whole bunch of unhealthy food! There are no pictures, but it was fun!

Ahhh! The Joys of Pregnancy!!!

I have been reading books on pregnancy and I swear every single one justifies any little thing as being normal during pregnancy, but I don't know if I believe them. So everyone who is pregnant or has been pregnant, are these things normal? Tell me honestly....am I crazy? (Adam you have not been pregnant so I do not care for your opinion on if I am crazy...Sam on the other hand please give me advice!)

CHERRY SLUSHY....ummm now please!

The other day at work I went to three different gas stations to find a cherry slushy! I started craving it early in the morning and could not get my mind off of it. The first gas station didn't even have slushies, the second had weird tropical-mixed flavors, and the third was my dream come true! Crazy?

GILMORE GIRLS........crying fest 2010!

I have always loved Gilmore Girls, probably more than anyone should, but the other day I watched an episode in which Sookie-Lorelai's best friend had a baby and started hysterically crying because I was so excited for us to have a baby. Crazy?

BABY BUMP.......where?!

I have not started showing yet. I know there is something there, but most do not. Many of my clients don't even know I am pregnant. I am jealous of all those pregnant women who look pregnant at 17 weeks. I don't want to grow over-night and get stretch marks because I didn't gradually gain weight like I am supposed to do. Crazy?

Spicier the better......yum yum!

I crave spicy Mexican food all the time and demand to have it. I tell Chase the baby wants these things and he responds with, "Okay honey, sure." Such a good husband to give his wife whatever she wants. Crazy?

What 2010 brings for the Crowleys!!!

It's official we are going to Ohio State Fall 2010 and will be Buckeyes for the next four years! Columbus, Ohio will be our home while Chase is in dental school. We are VERY sad to leave Idaho, but are excited about the new adventure that lies ahead of us! The day after we decided to go, Chase got an e-mail telling him that if he attended there he would receive a scholarship for $15,000 the first year and then we can apply for in-state tuition after that. Our prayers truly have been answered and we feel very blessed right now. The Lord truly does know us and wants the best for us.

Chase signing his life away for the next four years!!!

He wouldn't smile with the envelope so this is the best picture I could get!

We have truly been blessed with very exciting news over the past couple months! One of them is that we are pregnant!!! I am almost 15 weeks along and due July 1, 2010. We have been wanting and praying for a baby for sometime and are truly so EXCITED to meet our little one. My pregnancy has been pretty good so far and I have been able to keep my job which has been a life savior. We find out what we are having February 15, 2010. So stay posted to see what it is! We would be happy with either one!

Christmas 2009!

Christmas this year was in Vegas with Chase's family! We had a blast with all of his family. It was the first time in 5 years they have all been together for Christmas so it was truly a blessing! Here are some pictures of the amazing memories we made!

His dad and Pam own a pool table and no one ever plays it so they decided to play pool for the first time in who know how long!

The girls making cookies. (Presley-baby, Paige, and Pam)
Us on Christmas Eve!

Our niece Kimber and Chase's brother Dalton had a ton of fun dressing up! They are so cute!

The whole Crowley Clan! We got other pictures taken outside and in normal clothes instead of PJs, but I don't have any of them!

On Christmas day we went over to Chase's mom's and step dad's house to spend time with them! It was a ton of fun!

The girls with grandma! Such adorable kids!

Dalton turned 5 while we were there! He is getting so old!

Arizona Trip!

Chase and I were able to go to Arizona for his best friend Mike's wedding. The sealing in the Mesa temple was so special, especially to Chase because Mike became a member of the church because of his influence. (I was repeated told by Mike and his wife Shannon that it was Chase that got him to that point) He joined after Chase served a mission and even served a mission himself. So there was no way Chase was going to miss him getting sealed for eternity. It was a wonderful sealing and we felt very blessed to be there.

Mike and Shannon Dobbins

I was also able to meet all of Chase's high school friends. They all had a ton of fun seeing each other and it brought back a lot of fun memories for Chase.

Us with the happy couple!

After we left Mesa, we went to Tucson to visit Adam, Sam, and their kids! Ethan and Malia are so cute and we had a ton of fun playing with them!

They took us to a fun restaurant that had gun shooting and even put us in jail.
Us out to eat....I swear my steak was the biggest thing I have even seen!

We were also able to see my Aunt Debbie, Uncle Tim, and their kids from Safford. We met them half way at a Wendy's and had fun talking to them.

Everyone eating the famous Sanoran Dogs....so delicious!

Malia....so adorable!

Seriously how cute is she?!!!

When mom and dad are away....the kids will play!

Ashley and Cameron were able to go to Utah for a get-away a couple of weeks ago and we were able to baby-sit the boys! It was so much fun playing all weekend and pretending to be parents! We had a ton of fun eating out, making cookies, playing games, shopping, seeing Santa, and watching Christmas movies! We love these little boys so much!

Dallin and Cade had fun taking pictures of each other. This is one of about 20 pictures they took of themselves. Most don't have faces in them so I posted the best one!

Carter came up to me when I was taking pictures and said, "CHEESE!!!" It was super cute...seriously who couldn't love this kid!
Me and the boys right before bed time!

We played Yahtzee with them and they loved it! They asked for the next 48 hours to play again! They didn't really know they were doing, but had fun looking for matches!

This isn't the best picture! They all smiled with him and I couldn't find the better one! Oh well they love it!

Thanksgiving 2009!

This past couple of weeks have flown by and I haven't had the time to sit down and post pictures about Thanksgiving. My goal was to have it done before Christmas so at least I accomplished that! Chase and I were actually able to stay in Idaho this year for Thanksgiving because his family came to us! We were so excited not to travel any where and be able to spend time with them. We had a ton of fun at Chase's Aunt's house, going to the temple, shopping, eating out, and talking to everyone in his family. We made some amazing memories!

Chase and his brother's Mason and Dalton!

Us on this chair that was made for one, but for some reason we sat on it together for hours on Thanksgiving day.
