The first house

Halloween!!!

2010-11-04T22:12:00.000-04:00

So my mom is “the costume maker”; she has been since Jamie and I got married. The first costume she made for Naomi was a Belle costume, and it was seriously perfect and beautiful. Last year Naomi was a “sparkly” witch, and it was also super cute. This year my mom made all 3 of the kids costumes. Naomi’s was a ridiculously gorgeous dress made for her to be whatever she wanted it to be. She decided on seeing it that she wanted to be a fairy queen. She stuck with that until we were almost totally done with trick or treating and then decided she was a fairy god mother. Lawson was the most adorable lion in the world, and Anna was a happy banana. My mom did such a fantastic job on all of the costumes, and we are so grateful for her hard work!

The Family Picture Wall

2010-08-23T21:12:00.003-04:00

So Naomi and I went out to do sidewalk chalk one day at the very beginning of summer. We went in the garage to grab our stash of chalk like usual, but when we got outside there were a few pieces that had been left outside and gotten rained on pretty badly. They were still solid pieces, but they were softened up and wet enough that when you tried writing with them it became a soggy paste.

The paste turned out to be fun. We covered a few bricks completely in the paste and it looked really cool (especially after it dried the next day). So we then decided that we would create a backdrop of thoroughly lathered sidewalk chalk bricks out in our little front porch area to do family pictures in when we had enough time.

It turned out to take a ton of time, but we eventually got it done. My mom and I actually did most of the work. We got a big 52 piece set of crayola sidewalk chalk (24 different colors) and also a few different extra bright 4 piece sets. We designed the pattern on excel. Thanks Dad!!!

After we designed the pattern we put each color of chalk in a ziplock back and pulverized it into a fine powder. Then we added water and mixed it up into a sort of paint/paste. Then it was just a matter of consulting our master plan and painting each brick. I forget how many bricks we painted, but I know it was a ton, and it took a long long time. I couldn’t have done it without my mom.

Then the last day my parents were in town we spent the majority of the day doing family pictures. We spent the first part of the day touching up the spots of the wall that had been rained on enough to drip actually, but then we did pictures. We took about a million pictures and some of them did turn out pretty good, so it all feels worth it in the end. Especially considering we have never really had a family picture taken.

Anyway here’s the fruit of our labor. I can’t really say this enough but thank you so much mom and dad for taking the pictures, helping paint the wall, getting so many supplies, and having so much patience during the whole thing. It really was quite an ordeal.

So here’s an idea of the slow progression of the wall from Naomi’s 1st day of 1st grade!!!

Kisses From Lawson

2010-07-14T15:44:00.001-04:00

Ok, so I mentioned how Lawson loves Anna. Well, he REALLY LOVES Anna! He cannot get enough of his little sister; he is constantly kissing her. Observe…

Anna Quinn Crocker

2010-07-14T14:42:00.001-04:00

Anna was born on June 24, 2010 at 2:48 AM. She weighed 7lbs 6oz and was 19 and a half inches long. She is a welcome addition to our family, and we love her very much. I was able to have another successful unmedicated labor and delivery, and I feel great, other than the lack of sleep. She is now almost 3 weeks old and is weighing in at 8lbs 7oz. She is a great eater! She is a sweet baby, and seriously has the most heartbreaking cry I have ever heard. The nurse commented on how sad it was yesterday during her 2 week checkup. She pretty much forces you to pick her up. Sadly, Naomi has not met her yet; she is in Utah until the beginning of August, and we know she is excited to meet her. Lawson is so in love with his baby sister; he seriously kisses the air when you say her name!

So Lawson now likes to climb onto and into all kinds of things…

Big Guy Shoes and Home Made Yum

2009-10-17T15:42:00.001-04:00

Just a little note here on life in Indiana. It’s getting cold. It’s about to be gorgeous with all the leaves falling. We’re still pretty desperate for work but school is going well. Naomi’s loving kindergarten and all the new friends and experiences there; Carly’s loving mommy life and lots of time with Lawson; and I get a free New York Times every day of the week. We’ve recently implemented a “movie night” Friday due to a great program at our local Blockbuster wherein we bring in a church program to secure any movie of our choice in the family section. It’s rad. We don’t have cable so it’s a good way to relax on a weekly basis. The Friday night festivities now include home made pizza which Carly just learned how to make (which is really incredible), and popcorn during the movie. Below are some pictures of the Little guy in shoes for the first time, the aforementioned hand crafted pizza and one very ridiculous chocolate fudge cake with butter cream frosting and chocolate ganache glaze. It literally fed our family and every person we know in our neighborhood (which is 5 different families). After all that giveaway I still feasted on cake for like 4 days solid afterward.

Strange Baby

2009-09-09T21:56:00.000-04:00

So Lawson LOVES lemons. Seriously, we gave him a taste expecting him to make a funny baby face, and this is what happened....

I hate Blogger!

2009-08-06T22:16:00.001-04:00

All I have to say is that I suck at blogging! I spend FOREVER trying to get my entries lined up the way that I want, and I preview it a million times. Then I post it and it looks like garbage, and it's all messed up. I'm sorry to express my anger this way, but I just finished publishing the messed up post below and I'm very irritated!

Rockford Trip

2009-08-06T18:20:00.000-04:00

In June, my mom flew up to Indiana and then drove with me and the kids up to Rockford, IL. We had a great time visiting with family and were especially excited to see Nolan, my new nephew. Sadly, Jamie was not able to make the trip with us.

This picture is of Naomi and Lawson with their new baby cousin Nolan. Notice Lawson and Nolan's closeness in height. Lawson is 7 months and Nolan is 2 months.

You can only imagine how excited Naomi was to hold this little guy.

Here is Lawson at the hotel sitting in his pillow fort, happy as always.

My brother Sean's school choir made these cute floral crowns for a fundraiser, so Grandma Copeland made sure to get one for Naomi.

My dad is asleep in the background; pretty much anytime he sits down in that chair, he falls asleep.

Here is my brother, Chip, practicing his uncle skills.

Flowers!!!

2009-07-18T17:22:00.000-04:00

I know this is an old lady thing to do, but we have some great flowers that's all I'm sayin. The peach/pinkish ones that stand real tall here, I love those. We just have some great colors. Naomi picked the little pink cluster right in front, and when we planted them like 2 months ago there were only like 4. You can still see the remnants of some little red ones we had right in front of those if you look close. Our neighbors puppies got hungry on em. Anyway, I'm pretty sure we have the coolest little front area in the.......... area. Again with the old lady here, but we've also been having some fantastic weather: Some of the mildest summer days with nice cool breezes I've ever experienced. It rains enough to keep in lush and beautiful, but the sun comes out all the time too. I think it's pretty perfect. Thats all.

Diapers!

2009-07-16T16:29:00.001-04:00

So for all of you who do not know, we use cloth diapers, and it works out really well for us. Cloth diapers are not what they used to be, and if anyone does any research you will find that there are all kinds of fancy and adorable cloth diapers out there. Those fancy, adorable ones are also crazy expensive. We are talking $15 to $25 per diaper! We just use prefolds and covers and we love them, but we have recently decided to become more exclusive cloth diaper users. Meaning cloth diapering at night and using them in the diaper bag. When you get into night time and diaper bag usage, that is when those fancy fitted and all in one diapers are really appealing, but still really expensive. I can double diaper Lawson at night, and it works, but it's quite bulky. Prefolds also work in the diaper bag, but trying to get it folded and in the cover on a fold out diaper station in a walmart bathroom, while trying to keep Lawson from rolling off is a little nerve racking. Here enters my recent obsession with learning how to make my own fancy diapers. I made my first one out of a lavender colored flannel pillow case and an old white T-shirt. It turned out alright; it's functional and reasonably cute, but girly. I made my second one last night out of one of Jamie's old Williams-Sonoma shirts, a plain white T and the other flannel pillow case, and behold, my very own adorable fitted cloth diaper! Did I mention that I don't really know how to sew.

Here he is in the diaper I made; isn't he so adorable?

Lawson's Crawling!

2009-07-16T15:58:00.000-04:00

Lawson has been making his way around the floor for a while now, but finally started crawling forward about a week ago. He is so much fun, and we can't believe how fast he's growing. He's interested in everything except for his toys; the book shelf is his favorite, followed by the movies. Also, check out my cute diaper.

Here is a Video

2009-05-31T15:01:00.000-04:00

We're hittin up the farmer's market on Saturday's now. They have this little fountain thing for the kids to cool off in. It's pretty gross, so kids love it.

Happy Crib / Signature Sound

2009-05-31T14:44:00.000-04:00

This video is special to us cause we've been trying to capture this thing that he does for a while now. It's his signature sound, but every time he's doing it we grab the camera and start recording and he takes that as his cue to stop making his sound. We love the way he purses his little mouth to make the sound it's so funny. Anyway, we finally captured it, and now you can see this crazy sound our son loves to make.

Lawson's First First Swim of the Summer

2009-05-31T14:35:00.000-04:00

So we all got to go to a fun little pool place due to our neighbor's birthday party, and that means Lawson got to get all dressed up for his first swim!! He was the cutest swimmer in town in his little baby swimsuit, and his mommy was the cutest mommy swimmer too. The last picture I took of Carly and after I saw it I realized I would be horrified if someone took a picture of me that close up in that much sunlight. Some people don't have to fear the camera I guess.

Naomi's First Swim of the Summer!

2009-05-31T14:15:00.000-04:00

Naomi had the opportunity to swim at her friend Asiya's birthday party, and had a great time. She has shown some improvement at overcoming her fear of the water so far this summer, but that doesn't mean she didn't still scream at the top of her lungs right into Jamie's ear a couple of times if his grip loosened the tiniest bit. She was pretty confident by the end though.
Here in the bottom picture we have Naomi (in the words of Jim Crocker) "constipating very hard".

Teething Relief / The Tark

2009-05-31T14:02:00.000-04:00

Lawson still hasn't cut any teeth, but he does need some soothing relief every once in a while, so here he is chewing on a wet washcloth. He held onto this rag for about an hour. The last picture is what we call his pirate smile.

2009-05-15T16:35:00.001-04:00

Naomi also got some gardening gear from mimi for her birthday, so here she is helping us get our garden started. Unfortunately, not much has happened since, but it will.

Naomi's Birthday

2009-05-15T15:21:00.000-04:00

Naomi's birthday was in March, so we're a little late on the post. She made out like a bandit this year with four parties! One in Rockford, IL, one here, one impromptu one with her friends, and one with her mom in Indianapolis. Here is a picture of Naomi and her friend Aloni and of the cake that I made.

There is a good amount more than this, but here are some of the adornments of radicalness.

Indiana University Architecture

2009-03-10T17:09:00.000-04:00

This picture on the bottom is the building where I spend the majority of my time. It's where the MATH happens. It's where my humility is developed over and over again. The top two buildings, and this bottom one, are buildings made of Indiana lime-stone. It is incredibly beautiful. Ill post some closer shots of some of the stone work and sculpting adorning some of these crazy buildings too. Most of the structures on campus are made of Indiana lime-stone, but the two in the middle are a few of the rare exceptions. They're not ugly. My school is ten years older than my church.

Cute kids, new hair.

2009-03-08T22:22:00.000-04:00

Lawson was developing some weird bald patches, while other portions of the cranium were abundantly covered in hair. Carly shaved him, to avoid future strange growth. He's bald now. He's balder now. Naomi got bangs. They both remain squishy and pinchable.

2009-03-08T19:34:00.000-04:00

So the weather suddenly changed to absolutely wonderful this weekend, this after months of holy cow cold. We made our way out to campus, just so Carly and the kids could see some of the sights. Well we ended up only taking pictures at one stop along the way. This is our poser section. We'll get more pictures of the campus, which is beautiful, later on at some point, cause you can't really see any of it in these pictures.

So Lawson is still adjusting to venturing into the outdoors. His sleeping schedule is not yet conducive to "getting out." His face on the top there really says it all doesn't it? He's a curious little guy at the homestead though, here he is on the bottom checkin out some computer stuff with dad.

2009-02-15T22:13:00.000-05:00

This was Naomi's Valentine Breakfast; it consisted of pink, heart shaped pancakes, pink milk, and heart shaped bacon. I put little florets of whipped cream and pink and white heart shaped sprinkles all around. Needless to say it was a big hit! This picture was taken after she had dug into it a little, so it doesn't quite document the full effect.

Naomi is a huge fan of the bumbo, so every opportunity she can get she wants pictures of them with Lawson in the bumbo.

We're Here!!!

2009-02-03T16:12:00.000-05:00

So we are officially in Bloomington, Indiana and have been for almost a month, but we just got internet the other day. So, sorry for the blog delay. We are really enjoying it here so far; Bloomington seems to be a great city with a lot to offer, and we're really excited about it!

Our move went well and I'm almost done unpacking everything. My mom and my sister were able to come visit and help for about a week. It was also the first time that they got to meet Lawson, who, by the way, is getting so big! He is so fun and Naomi is adjusting to her new home extremely well. She also continues to be a great big sister. Well, I know this is probably enough to chatter, so on to the pictures....

We stopped in Utah to visit some of my family and here are the kids with my Uncle Joe and my Grandma Copeland...

Lawsons Blessing

2008-12-22T06:42:00.001-05:00

we have well over 500 pictures to sort through. But I thought I'd throw these on untill we have a minute to put together something cohesive. This was a very nice day, despite being utterly sleep deprived as ususal. We were grateful to have as many family members there as we did. This also happened to be our last Sunday at South Meadows ward. Great people, good times. The little man looks pretty disgruntled in almost every picture here, so we'll have to post some more flattering pictures (where you can actually see him) later.

If indeed these are gas induced, as they say, well then they are not worth it. We'll post them up here though, so you can enjoy them without the benefit of screaming and squirming and freaking out at all hours of the night and morning. A huge price to pay for some cuteness. Still pretty dang cute though.

Naomi hated this balloon. She kept on telling me "that one is definitely NOT going to win." My dad thought it was funny to have her take a picture with her enemy balloon. He was so right.
This is what it looked like from right below. There are pictures underneath this post where Naomi is laying on my dad; this is what they're looking at.

It sort of looks like the fire is coming from Naomi's head doesn't it? This was really neat.

An Explanation

2008-07-26T16:27:00.001-04:00

We needed a change in the blogmosphere. I have to give Danny credit for one of the underlined changes here, namely the bitchen new name change. Genius friend. So after we decided on the name change we had to get a new look, naturally. I had to argue for the donkey with a hat smoking a pipe motif. The wife only agreed based on a timetable, but I want him for good. Do put in a good word if you agree with me, that this look is timeless. And as far as some of the formatting issues which you will be sure to encounter below..... I don't freakin know. It takes me 9 days to upload the pictures then I end up accidentally deleting them when I'm writing in the text, then weird crap happens like an entire paragraph all of a sudden looks like an internet link. I don't know. I know it's not complicated but I make it that way. Anyway, it looks.... confused. Sorry...but do Enjoy!!

You know how sometimes you just have to sneak into your kids room after they've been asleep for hours, cause they look so sweet and there's no chance they'll say something to ruin it? Well such was the case one evening when I found her like so.

Don't even ask me why this text is underlined and blue. It's just been a long while since we posted any pictures. I had to put up this picture of Naomi in the A's shirt for my friend Richard, who purchased the shirt out of his own loyalty combined with a hilarious pre disposition to irritate rival baseball fans such as my dad, who he knows is in deep for the Padre's. Congradulations Richard, my sister and fathers humiliation is now public, and complete.

K, this is her "princess" outfit of choice lately, due primarily to the absolute abundance of mardigras beeds floating around the house (thank you Pat). No one has the heart to tell her it's more like a hindu god mock outfit. Who doesn't take the chance to delight a child whilst offending a foreign deity when it comes along though right?

I'm sure I don't need to point your attention to the fact that this was a complicated pregnancy. Needless to say we're thoroughly familiar with the nuance of fake child birth in this house.

This one was entirely necessary because as far as I know there isn't any new pictures of Maddy up, and it's important that people know how cute the post clown-fro child really is. She was precious anyway, whenever you could pry your eyes away from the hair, it's just more obvious now.

Sleeping in curlers is a treat for her, not kidding, it's something she actually earns. So here she is basking in the apparent euphoric joy of curler head.

Ok, so I love Jamie's blog efforts, especially since I never do them anymore. I'm a blog slacker for sure. The thing is though... the picture is upside-down, and it's driving me nuts! So this is the same picture right side up, and I think it's even funnier this way :)

It's a Boy!

I don't know I think it's pretty funny. Look at what the arrow is pointing to.

Show me exuberant male cheerleeder!!!

Freddy took the photo's. He had a lot to work with. Naomi and Logan were dripping with enthusiasm, as they are prone to do when shown any source of light in the shade of lime. Here's Logan throwin down some boy moves.

All too happy to be exploited

Some of us just need a muse ya know? To do great art like this, she draws strenght from various sources, but mainly just a vain ambition to be paid much attention to. I'm not down-playin the contributions of the the props though, they play a big part.

The Fro Effect!!!

2008-06-29T18:33:00.000-04:00

Nobody rocks the fro like Maddy. This will give many of you, who did not have the super rad experience of first hand witnessing, an idea of the true out-of-controllness of the fro situation. Do enjoy.

So when Freddy was here he got some interesting pictures of the kids. Caden didn't sell himself to the camera in the same shameful way that Naomi and Logan did, but he came out looking pretty interesting anyway..... mostly zoned out and cute.

Freddy Ritta!!!

2008-06-26T09:25:00.000-04:00

The guy really saved us. We would have had only family photo memory capture were it not for the creative stylings of one Alfredo Ritta and his super huge borrowed camera. Here he is doin some magic. I'll also say that he's had to expend all the energy and $ to make sure we see one another during these last few years, cause I'm buss pass poor, and I'm very grateful for it. At every phase of my life, there too, has been Freddy Ritta. He's the best.

We go in late December

And I start skoo in January. Also that building festering with ivy is an Indiana University Library. And the tiny one is some other part of the university.

True Story!!

2008-06-17T19:32:00.000-04:00

I don't know what's wrong with me. The greatest band in the world comes out with a new album, way back in December, and I wait till yesterday to download songs from it. So great is the musical supremacy of the mighty Radiohead, so complete the humble deference of all other creative entities that my i-pod literally refused to play any other music today. I'm not kidding, every single time I tried to play another song it skipped to one of the 3 Radiohead songs I had downloaded. If my i-pod is broken, it's broken in the coolest and most enlightened way imaginable. I downloaded "House of Cards, Nude, & Reckoner," ............holy cuss word expletive perfection. Radiohead reigns supreme and everyone should bask in it.

Hoosiers!!!!

It's almost as good as BYU, and almost as cheap....... and it's still a top ten undergraduate business program. We're very excited. All the intellectual perks..........no dress code!!! It really is the best school I applied to, and Bloomington lies almost exactly half way between Carly's parents (who reside in Georgia and Illinois). Also, Carly's really good friend Amanda lives about an hour away so we're positioned well, you know, geographically. So on a deadly serious note, PRAY for us people. This is going to be complicated and we need the providence.

We haven't updated in bla bla bla, We've just been so bla bla bla, and we're so very bla bla bla. Here's what happened: Naomi ate her first hamburger.... and pretended to like it. She wanted to take pictures of the event. In the end she said "maybe I'll be ready for hamburgers when I'm 5."

We haven't updated in bla bla bla, We've just been so bla bla bla, and we're so very bla bla bla. Here's what happened: Naomi loves to sleep in curlers, and to pose in curlers..... and without.
