First Day of School

Here is Madison on her first day at her new school. She wasn't to sure about having to wear a uniform. But after shopping and seeing that they really didn't look half that bad on her, the uniforms where alright! So glad it started today, I don't think I could go another day being told that this was the most boring summer for them ALL! But I am so glad that she like school so much that she wants to be there. (she had to kiss Rosealie goodbye before she left, Chloe was sleeping still)

Silly Siblings!

Now This Is Tired

Rosealie was crying a little so I put her in the jumper to play. A few minutes later we took a look and this is what you call...just down right tired!

Me Lately!

I am going to go to the doctors to get a complete physical. For about 2 months now, I haven't been able to go to sleep at night...It has been nights that I am still awake when Bill gets up to go to work. I have tried the reading a book,watching T.V., watching a boring movie,laying with the lights out and listening to the crickets out in the field behind our house, etc.....Nothing works! When I finally get to sleep, I do sleep and thank heavens that Brittany is here so she can watch Madison for me or there wouldn't be any sleep for me. (la la moo!) So hopefully soon I can get in and find out why I can't get to sleep!

LOOSE TOOTH!

Ethan has his first loose tooth, He is so excited about it! He wiggles it all the time...we will see how long it takes to come out. (Mary is wiggling it so we could see.)

At The Pool!

Jamie and boys at the pool while he is home on leave...I understand that they had a really fun time!

Jamie's Home

Jamie has been home to Alaska for an 18 day leave. He will be leaving to go back to Iraq on the 29th of July. Him,Mary and the boys have been having fun doing things as a family. Here are some of the picture of what they have been doing.

Nerve Test

Well I had the dreaded nerve test done this week...I hate having those done. My arm is still hurting from where they had to push the needles into my arm though the muscles into the nerves and then zap them with electricity,not a happy camper after that! So from the results of the test,it all stems from my neck problems. So they determined that I will be put on home traction, which means I get to wear this nice neck brace that has a water bag attached to it and I sit for 15 minutes twice a day for 2 weeks then it goes to 30 minutes. I will do this for 2 months and if it doesn't work or gets worse, they will send me to a Surgeon and will do surgery on my neck to fix the problem. Now you ask what is wrong with my neck? To put it in people terms not Doctors language, I have deteriorating disks on my right side in my neck, so therefore the fluid doesn't flow correctly which causes the muscle and nerves to put my right arm and leg to sleep or have serve pain. Which I will be glad to live without the pain medication and the pain to where I can't sleep at night, so hopefully something will work out.

4th of July Parade

Today was our Ward's 4th of July brunch and parade. Madison was in the parade as the children sang "Your a Grand Old Flag". Rosealie and Chloe were dressed in their partotic dresses.

Funny Aunt Madison

Chloe thinks Aunt Madison is funny!

Fire 6/25/08

There is a fire burning by our house. It is about 2 miles away, we are hoping they get it under control. It is pretty big and spreading fast...Here are some pictures I took.

Talk about a look

We all know that the CRAWFORD'S have a look when they are mad...but I think Zoe has a look all of her own! (Diana's friend is behind Zoe)

It was a very nice showing as always. Alot of people came while we were there and 1 of his showing sold. Congratulations Lewis!

27 Years

Our love is the long lasting kind;
We’ve been together quite awhile.
I love you for so many things,
Your voice, your touch, your kiss, your smile.


You accept me as I am;
I can relax and just be me.
Even when my quirks come out,
You think they’re cute; you let me be.


With you, there’s nothing to resist;
You’re irresistible to me.
I’m drawn to you in total trust;
I give myself to you willingly.


Your sweet devotion never fails;
You view me with a patient heart.
You love me, dear, no matter what.
You’ve been that way right from the start.


Those are just a few reasons why
I’ll always love you like I do.
We’ll have an eternity full of love,
And it will happen because of you.

Happy Anniversary Sweetheart!

Love, Charilla

Backyard and BBQ

Today we are having a BBQ to celebrate Bills birthday and also our grass in our backyard! We are having our friends the Jerue's from the ward and then afterwards we are going to their house for swimming!
We are so excited and Bill is very proud of what he has done with our yard. It still has a ways to go til we are all finished with it, we want to add some more bushes and flowers and outdoor furniture.

The Joys of Flying!

Well I left Norfolk,Va. on Tuesday night at about 7:30pm. My flight was scheduled to leave at 6:30pm. It was delayed due to weather in New york city out of Kennedy Airport. Well we finally landed in New York, and sat on the tarmac for 1 hour, before we could pull up to our gate. Now by this time my connecting flight was scheduled to take off. Well the Captain came over the speaker and told us, those of you connecting to Phoenix, your plane has been delayed and you will not miss your flight. Of coarse cheers came from everywhere! As we get into the airport, we look around for a place to grab something to eat...NO luck in sight, everything was closed for the night due to it being 10:00pm. Well the weather decided that I just needed to stay in New York for alot longer....anyways needles to say, my flight was suppose to be in at 11:26pm Tuesday night, but I didn't get here til 3:02 am Wednesday morning...and with all that my luggage is somewhere!!! (with all my clothes in it, even the garments) I have been wearing the same thing for 2 days now...nice! I talked to the airlines tonight and they still haven't found it! With all of this I am truly grateful to be home! (UPDATE) They found my luggage and is suppost to be delivering it today sometime...Yahoo!

Best Friends...

Bev and I went and got our pictures taken today. Here are some of them. True Friends are hard to come by, but when you have one, hold on to them forever!

Going Away Dinner

Bev and her family took me out for my going away dinner to Joe's Crab Shack. It was amazing if you like crab! I really enjoyed myself, I am going to miss being here, but am wanting to get home to my family...

Going to the Beach!

Got to go to Virginia beach yesturday. It's the first time I have ever been to the beach. It was really fun! The sand was like nothing I have ever seen, soft and smooth, not like sand we have in Arizona at like the Lakes.
