not too early for a list...right?

This is what i want for christmas. Boots are cool, and i want to get them. They will make me run fast, i think. I probably want something else too. fireman boots, cars geo trax, fireman things, and puzzles too. but thats all. tell santa not to bring me anything else.

love,
Luke the Duke

(oh great...here i thought i was done with christmas...i didnt get him anything on his wish list. I remember doing this to my mom all the time. the day before christmas i would say, "mom i dont want a toomagotchi anymore, i want to be an artist, so i really have to have an art set." she was probably thinking TOO BAD!!! to you more experienced moms out there...does this happen every year?)

family photo shoot(s)

we have tried to get a few good ones. It has been so long since we have taken pictures! I didnt like many of myself, but maybe im just being too picky! I say third times a charm, so you may see another set of pictures soon. ;0)

ME & U

we went on a date...and I HAVE PROOF! it was a few weeks ago,just before it got too cold we went up the mountains walked around a bit, made dinner and just hung out. it was one of the best dates i have ever been on.

here's your proof...empty car seats :0).

i really liked how this picture turned out.what do you think?

Lake powell getaway vacay

one of my bestest pals Jackie invited our family with them to Lake Powell this summer...something I havent done since high school!! We had such a great time wake surfing, longboarding, jet skiing, fishing, walking on the beach, boating, swimming, and just hanging out with friends. We were sad to come home from all that warmth and sun!

she was floating way out there by herself, hehe

surfing lesons start young, we take them seriously.

the week was almost over, we were in need of a showa! but best buds none the less...

nice view ;0)

above: luke's little gf "Malina"

we were both a little sea sick...can you tell?

annie just couldnt get enough of the jet ski!

chet got up his first try i think, he pretty much rocks.

EXTRA EXTRA!

What can i say, I've been busy? Since my summer job came to an end, I have been doing some soul searching, lost 20 lbs, and registered for school, WOAH...slow down woman!
I'm going to post from a few fun fam activities that we have had this summer. I'll start with this one:

my friend Jackie from high school and her hubby and baby came over to the crosbys house to grill some Independence day lunch.

he looks a bit like Edward, no?


I was following her with the camera laughing so hard. I'm guessing this is why regular diapers are not allowed in public pools?(we were out of swim diapers)


This is Chris. Luke would rather play with grown men than a kids his age. i think that has something to do with his dad being WAY more fun than a 3 year old. plus kids your own age aren't strong enough to lift you up and throw you...I'm beginning to see where he's coming from.

"Goggles" was one of her first words


the clan, minus mama.(not ready for summer pictures yet)

I'm Luke the Duke and im here to save the day!

Nana taught him this little dusey...and its here to stay. unless of course he is batman, or superman, or spiderman, or a cowboy, or a jedi knight, or a bad guy, or a transformer, or a...ok, you get the picture right?
