Billy Mays hits the big time

You May know Billy Mays from such infomercials as Kaboom, Oxi-clean, Orange Glo, and maybe even mighty mend it. But now the hard work has paid off by being on a mockumercial for ESPN. Hilarious.
Love it.

She's Got the Moves

Lilia figured out her favorite type of music. Hip hop baby!! Kanye West was on American Idol the other night and she was rocking out!!! She wouldn't dance very well for the camera, but I got a couple shakes. She also loves to dance whenever Ellen dances at the beginning of her show. Another little dancer.

Staying On the Path

I had my Relief Society birthday dinner last night. We got a copy of a Brue R. McConkie quote I wanted to share. I sometimes get to feeling like I can never get everything right. We all make mistakes, and it's nice to know that just trying counts for something.

We don't have to get a complex or get a feeling that you have to be perfect to be saved. You don't. There's only been one perfect person, and that is the Lord Jesus. But in order to be saved in that Kingdom of God and in order to pass the test of mortality, what you have to do is get on the straight and narrow path--thus charting a course leading to eternal life--and then, being on that path, pass out of this lfe in full fellowship...If you're on that path and pressing forward, and you die, you'll never get off the path. There is no such thing as falling off the straight and narrow path in the life to come, and the reason is that life is the time that is given to men to prepare for eternity...You don't have to live a life that is truer than true. You don't have to have an excessive zeal that becomes fanatical and becomes unbalancing. What you have to do is stay in the mainstream of the Church and live as upright and decent people live in the Church--keeping the commandments, paying your tithing, serving in the organizations of the Church, loving the Lord, staying on the straight and narrow path. If you're on that path and death comes--because this is the time and day appointed, this is the probationary estate--you'll never fall off from it, and, for all practical purposes, your calling and election is made sure.

Birthday Party!

(Do you see that Croshaw tongue?)

Daylight Savings, What's That?

The kids were finishing up lunch, church started in 20 minutes. I had to run into the other room when I heard, "Oh crap!" from Jason. (He had just looked at his cell phone.) I had been on the computer earlier and it said 11:45. I knew it wasn't 11:45, so I just thought the computer was wrong. Turns out....it wasn't wrong, and we missed sacrament meeting.
Has that ever happened to anyone else?

My Baby is ONE!

Lilia is one year old today. This morning we went to breakfast. Then, we had this cub scout activity Jason and I both had to help out with. While we were there Lilia started walking!!!!!!! The most she's taken is 2, maybe 3 steps, and today she just took off!!! She even stood up without help of anything (but her own hands) and walked somewhere. CRAZY!!!! That's a milestone I'll remember, on her first birthday. She has been such a dream child. I love this little girl so much. She makes everyone happier just by seeing her. She's always happy, and she's got her big brother and sister wrapped around her finger. And her mommy and daddy, of course. I always say she's my blessing for having Colby and Eva so close together. (Thursday morning she threw her first fit because I wouldn't let her hold her own spoon for her oatmeal-she's not entirely perfect, but pretty close :)
She sort of says 4 words. Dada-(always means daddy), mama-(sometimes means mommy), buh-buh (sometimes means Colby) and ba-ba (sometimes means bottle). Poor Evam her name is too hard to say.
Here's some pictures over the last year....


Usual chair from grandma and grandpa Croshaw. We've had it since Lilia was 1 or 2 months old, it's been in the closet waiting! The past couple of weeks she's loved sitting on Colby and Eva's chairs, perfect timing! She loves it.

Here are a couple of random pictures I just had to put up.
