The past couple of weeks

Our computer has been in the shopp for a couple of weeks so we haven't been able to write anything But it's finnally back hurray. So here is what happened the past couple of weeks. 

Valentines weekend my parents, my Brother and his Friend came to visit. Valentines day My dad drove my brother and his friend Cameron to go snow boarding at Grand Teton, While they were there and while Brandon was at work My mom and I hung out, we walked around the Rexburg temple, Then went to a craft store and looked around to get some fun ideas. Then we made a big dinner for our men for Valentines day. It was really fun to spend time with my mom It made me really miss being in Boise with them. The boys had a really great time snowboarding and that night we had dinner and then we all played games. We played wacky six so many times that weekend it was a lot of fun, we also played a lot of Mario Cart Wii, My mom was the funnest to watch play. She would laugh and scream when she would fall off the roads it was hilarious! 

Here are a couple of pictures of my parents and Corden my brother. The Hat that Krew is wearing My mom made for Corden. 

   

The week after my parents came Brandon Krew and I were all sick for about a week. We all had a cold, it wasn't much fun. Here is a picture of Krew and Brandon that week. Krew was so stuffy it was very sad and nights were very long. But we are all better now. This last picture is of Krew Today. This is what he wore to church we just got him his first white church shirt and we thought he should wear a tie so Brandon got one of his ties and made a quadruple winsor so that is would be "small" enough for him. needless to say he got a lot of comments at church.

3 Years and 7 months!!!

So we have a few things to tell everyone about in this posting.  On February 6th of 2006 Brandon and I went on our first date together.  On that date Brandon asked me to watch a movie about swing dancing since we had a dance class together.  It was called "Swing Kids", (One of Christian Bales first hits)  Since it is so close to Valentines day we choose to celebrate on the 6th instead of with the rest of the world on the 14th.  It just makes it that much more special.  Well this year Brandon got the day off and we had some dinner down in Idaho Falls at Johnny Carinos and then went to a concert at BYUI called Nashville Nights.  It was a lot of fun.  I got Brandon a 1 TB external hard drive to back up all of our computers and movies.  And he got me the movie "Swing Kids" on DVD.  It was such a good day, the whole date we just kissed and talked about how wonderful that last 3 years have been, (leaving out the month where we broke up).  

Secondly:  Krew just turned 7 months on the 7th of February.  He is just growing up so fast.  And strangely enough he just up and decided that he wanted to start crawling that day!  It was like he was saying to us, "Alright, I am another month older it is time for me to move up in the world, I SHALL CRAWL!!"  He isn't incredibly fast or anything but if he sees something that he wants on the other side of the room he just moves like a little inch worm until he gets it.  Life is so special.  Here is a picture of Krew standing on his Daddy's hand, it is one of his favorite things to do. 

FOR GRETCHMONINOFF!!!

For Christmas Brandon game my sister Gretchen some money to  pick me up three shirts from New York, and because I am a procrastinator here they finally are:

This is Brandon's and My favorite out of the three.

Along with 3 new shirts Brandon got me hooker boots so this is me in the green one and my boots!  ( I wear these everyone, even doing yard work, because I think that people should look cute even if it blisters their feet)

This is the last of the three; thanks so much Gretchen for getting them for me...

Also this is a new dress that I recently bought and thought that I would show it off as well.

Pay it Forward

My friend put this on her blog and I thought it was such a GREAT idea! So I thought I would get into it too. I'm pretty excited to do it. It's a Pay It Forward Exchange. Keep in mind you have a whole YEAR to do this. So,here it is for those of you that would like to join me.

This is how it works: Pay It Forward Exchange is based on the concept of the movie "Pay it forward". I will send a hand made gift to the first three people who leave a comment to this post on my blog requesting to join the PIF exchange. All the gifts will be made and posted out 'sometime within the next year'. How exciting to not know when your surprise package will arrive! What you need to do in return, is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog. This Exchange is only open to those with active websites or blogs. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PROMISE TO POST THIS SAME 'PAY IT FORWARD' MESSAGE ONTO YOUR BLOG, WHICH MUST BE ACTIVE IN ORDER TO PLAY. YOU WILL PAY IT FORWARD TO THREE PEOPLE WHO COMMENT ON YOUR BLOG. I'd love for you to join me! Will you? Other comments are welcome, but only the first three will be my Pay It Forward recipients. Come and join me who doesn't love a gift or giving gifts???

A Little Update!!!

Just thought that everyone would appreciate a few good pictures of Krew.  He is growing up so quick.  In the first picture Krew is wearing his carharts from his uncle garin and aunt katrina.  Then in the one to the far right, we just thought that it was funny!  He is now a little over 6 months and about 16 lbs.  But only in the 18th Percentile in height, weight, and head size.  But at least he is proportional!  

Happy New Year!!!

We all had a great New Years Eve last night and so we thought that we would share with you our sweet party!!   We started playing games around 6 pm.  It started with a little bit of "Killer Bunnies on the Quest for the Magic Carrot" then moved to a little bit of "Bang" and transitioned to a "Mario Kart Wii" tournament over the WFC with our family in Texas, then on to some "Settlers of Cataan" and lastly "Bupkiss" it was a great night and ended around 11:45 pm to perfectly in time to watch the last bit of new years rockin eve to watch the ball drop.  Krew was completely asleep until 30 seconds before the new year.  So he got up and celebrated with us.  So we kissed each other, Krew, and my mom.  The 3 people on want to make sure are in my life for 2009!  Happy New Year Everyone.
