The Crozier Family

Updates

2011-12-18T15:31:00.005-07:00

Not a whole lot has happened.... and more yet not a whole lot read this but for those few who do here is an update on our lives.......

We left Ft Sam a few days earlier then graduation so that I could get home for my moms funeral... We ended up in Utah a couple of days before the funeral so I could help with what I could.... The funeral was beautiful... Short and sweet just how my mom would have liked it. My wonderful friend Heather did our family pictures for yet another year. I am so blessed to have a talented friend who can come up with new poses and pictures every year that I love even more then the year before. I also got pneumonia.... (I thought I was going to die!!!!). We went up to My parents house after that so I could do hometown recruiting. I had fun.... We saw friends and family and had a blast... I am just bumbed we did not get to see everyone that we wanted! It was so good to see people and catch up on old times and made me realize even more that I have such great friends and family and I have been taking them for granted.
From there we headed to Ft Hood. We are awaiting our house which means we are in the trailer... We are ready to be in a normal space lol. WE really like Ft hood so far. We miss family and friends but the people here are great, our ward is nice... and there is a lot to do. My unit is also great.. While I do not do a lot of medical (ok not any) since we are a medical brigade they dont use us for much and they will transfer people around through the whole brigade to do things like sick call. I am learning new stuff everyday and my 1sg and commander are great and truly do want what is best for each individual.... so unlike all of the training.

We all send our love to everyone and we will be better at pics

My sweet mom

2011-10-27T14:50:00.002-06:00

I lost my mom on Tues. Oct. 25. Unfortunately I was not able to make it out to say goodbye to her but I am glad she is not in any pain anymore. She was such a great person who had so many trials to endure. She never had anything bad to say about anyone and she was always there to talk to. I have so many great memories of playing games and coloring with her. She loved to be outdoors and to just have fun. I miss her so much!!!!! She is going to be missed by a lot of people, and she is very loved!

I love you momma!

THe last few months

2011-08-06T19:43:00.002-06:00

Well there will not be pictures and hopefully at some point I can get on and post some pics because Ty has taken a lot of pics while I have been gone. So lets start off with where we left, I will try and tell what I know and show Ty how to work this and maybe he will fill in some spots. April 19th I left to go to basic training, man it was hard to leave. I think I bawled for three days before and lets not talk about when I left. I ended up having to stay at the hotel for two nights before I actually shipped out. Once I got to Ft Jackson SC I stayed at reception for three days while they did shots, paperwork and got us all of our clothing.... THe first day actually getting to my unit was rather interesting and I think that at that moment I was about ready to run in the opposite direction and never look back. The first three weeks were very long especially since I did not get to talk to Ty and it took a while to get mail. We woke up early every morning (4 or 4:30 early). We worked out, cleaned up, went to chow and then trained. We did a lot of classroom time at first and then we moved to the weapons training and tactical movements. I learned alot, I wake up early now, and I go to bed early so those of you who want to get together when I am done with AIT I am sorry but we have to get together by like 2 or 3 so I can go to bed at 10 lol. Ty stayed in Utah for a while with the kids and then went to his moms. HE has been doing great with the kids and is teaching william a lot. William is finally reading, tying his shoes and doing simple math. He loves music and can tell you the name of a lot of songs that come on the radio or Ipod and is getting to where he can tell you the artist too. William has been a great help to Ty, it makes me sad that he has taken on so much to help out but yet so proud he is a great kid, a great big brother and I am so glad we have him. Bradley is himself, not much has changed... he was so happy to see me at graduation and when we got here to SAn Antonio TX he was in heaven when we went to church and he could sit in my lap and cuddle with me. Lorelai is not walking yet but she is standing and will walk with help. SHe climbs everything!!!!! and is into everything. SHe prefers daddy now :( Ty is doing great. He is still having issues getting his blood level under control but he happier now he can see me and has been doing so great being a stay at home daddy. SOrry side tangent on talking about the family and I dont want to fix it so I will go back to what htey have all been doing. THey went to his moms for a while and then went back to UTah to visit. He then went back to NM to pick up his mom so they could come out and watch me graduate. On the way out to SC they car broke down. THe transmission went out. Thankfully they called a branch pres who gave them a name of an auto mechanic who is lds and gave us a great deal. On top of that they picked them up for church and fed them all. After graduation he drove two straight days so he could be here in TX to see me. He is camping in the trailer down here so I get to see them almost every night. I also get the weekends off now so I spend the weekend days with them but I have to be back at bed check formation and sleep there. At least I get to see them though. That is it in a nutshell sorry I have not been able to keep in touch with you all...... for those who even still look.

Graduating!

2011-04-08T21:03:00.004-06:00

Now the last post for now.... I finally graduated with my bachelors in Business Administration/finance. Ty was amazing and planned a surprise party for me while he was in the hospital! My great friends, Katy and JAred, Heather and Tim, J and Christie, and Marchele helped get it all ready. My amazing mom and sister took me out and spoiled me while the stuff was getting put together! My dad also took me to lunch earlier in the week adn it was great. My parents got me an Ipad and I LOVE it! I am truly blessed and had so much fun it was awesome.

March

2011-04-08T20:07:00.004-06:00

March was a very busy month.... the first day of march ty ended up in the hospital. He was in a lot of pain and ended up passing out as he walked down the stairs. He went to the hospital and found out that he needed to go to a hospital in Salt Lake so they could get his crohns in control. So since he was in the hospital we ended up celebrating Williams bday at home without Ty. Between transfers Ty came home to wish William a happy bday. This was the highlight of his day that his daddy got to see him. IT was sad. He did enjoy the cake I made and Jared printed off Scooby Doo characters and put them on the cake. HE loved that. We ended going up to the hospital so that Ty could see him open some presents. So now my big boy is 6 and he is such a great help. I am so blessed to have him in our family. He is truly a blessing and has wisdom beyond his years. I love this little guy. We found out a few days later that Ty had to have his whole colon removed. SO they did the surgery on the 8th and removed the whole thing. He now has a ileostomy bag, but he feels so much better then he did. He was on so many pain medicines before the surgery and after he was just on childrens tylenol. He even came home three days later which is a record in IHC. No one has recovered before a week after this surgery. HE came home, and it was great to have things back to normal. He then went back in not long after. THey thought he had a blockage but it turned out that it was a huge blood clot. So a few days later he was back home again. We had to skip the Oregon trip so I am bumbed I did not get to see his family but I am glad he is home, safe and for the most part healthy. We did find out from the pathology reports though that they had misdiagnosed him and he has ucleritive colitis instead if crohns so he is now cured since they took the whole colon. YEAH!!!!!!!!!! They were not going to rehook him back up but have decided he can and that he will do great. He will be on blood thinners for at least 6 months and will have to wait for 2 months after he is off of them to do the surgery but then he will have the recovery and can go to work and so on! So now for the huge ramble. I am so thankful for all the help I had from friends family and the church through this... I have amazing family, friends, and ward.

Lorelai's first birthday

2011-04-08T20:02:00.004-06:00

Our little princess finally turned one. We did a small party for her, she did not care about the presents or the cake. She did like the attention from everyone though. I cannot believe how fast the last year has gone. She is still so tiny but at the same time she has gotten so big. SHe still refuses to even try and walk though. SHe is quite spoiled and she is certainly all girl!!!!! She knows that she is our princess and can pretty much get anything that she wants!
Here are a few pics of her.

February

2011-04-08T19:53:00.003-06:00

February is now one of our busiest months!!!! First we celebrate my birthday, then our anniversary and our little princess bday. However, I will do the little ones bday in her own post! For my bday we went away for the night and Katy and Jared watched the kiddos for us. It was a nice get away. Katy and Jared helped the kids make a poster for my bday. It was nice and cool. WE didnt do anything for our anniversary, I took the week off though and we ended up going to New Mexico to take Ty's moms new car to her. It was nice to go visit with her and it was nice that it was done. We didnt do much while we were there but went to the zoo. The week before Bradley had croup and then lorelai caught it down there so it was a longer weekend then expected since she kept us up all night. Lorelai finally started crawling in Feb and it was so exciting! She is everywhere now!!!

Well a lot has happened in the last few months so we will see if I can catch up in a couple of different posts..... Jan.... We spent a lot of December and January painting our friends house.... the previous owners had decided to paint everything pink. Now not only was it pink but it had white carpet adn the previous renters had made a mess of the walls and the carpet. The house looks good now but it took a lot of work. There was a lot of walls to cover ha ha. We took Ty's birthday off and went to our friend Heather and Tim's house and celebrated Ty's birthday by playing games and eating yummy food and cake. We had fun playing games with HEather, Tim, Marchele and Katy. Ella was also very funny while we were there. I had put Lorelai to sleep, however she did not agree with that and was screaming. Ella was so upset that she was crying, she started crying and was grabbing my hand so that I could go pick her up. We also made another move. Katy and Jared invited us to stay with them until I left for bootcamp. It has been nice being with other company and having help with the kids. Not to mention I think Katy likes it when Jared is at work :)

The ramblings of me

2011-01-27T23:16:00.002-07:00

Well the last few months have been a little difficult, I have complained a lot about it which probably did not help... but now even as other not so good things have happened I have taken a step back and realized I have so much to be grateful for. I have a wonderful husband, who takes great care of the kids and who lets me sleep in even though he has been the one getting up with Lorelai. Next, I have three amazing kids, I love them so much and can never thank the Lord enough for blessing my life with these children. I am amazed at how much the know and learn everyday, I cant help but smile and feel so blessed when William helps me out and does stuff without me asking. I love that Bradley loves mommy cuddles and that just a hug and kiss can make everything better for him. I LOVE that Lorelai is so in love with me and smiles so big when I walk in the room. I cannot imagine not having these four human beings in my life.... and I am glad I have them. I think one of the great things about children is that it doesnt matter the mistakes you make... or what bad things are happening..... they love you no matter what and all it takes is a hug and kiss and smile to make the world stop spinning on its axis and realize that they are the biggest blessing you could get. Dont get me wrong they can drive me crazy but I am glad I have them to drive me crazy so that I can get those awesome moments of listening to William sing, Bradley say that he is mommy and his cuddles, and to have Lorelai laugh and giggle and cuddle with me. Also to have a husband who enjoys these same things and to have him with me to watch them grow. Life is good

Holidays

2011-01-04T03:20:00.004-07:00

So I meant to do a thanksgiving post and then a Christmas post but things have been CRAZY! We had three thanksgivings this year... an early one with Tys brother and family because his mom was in town, my parents house on thanksgiving and then my moms house the next day. It was nice because we were all together which hasn't happened since before my mom divorced Mike quite a few years ago! That same weekend my amazing and talented friend Heather Cram took some pictures of me, ty and kids. She also took pictures of my siblings, my mom and the grand kids for her Christmas present. She did a fantastic job so I will have to post some pics.

For December.... our friends Katy and Jared closed on a house but due to some sad things that happened Ty and I painted a lot of their house so that they could concentrate on what was going on and take care of themselves, It was nice to be able to help them out in the time of need, because of that it seemed like Christmas came and went to fast! :) Christmas eve we went to my grandparents house for dinner and Christmas day we had the gammon family breakfast, went to my parents and then went to Jared's family for dinner. Jared's family is amazing and so kind, we are truly grateful for the open arms they gave us that day. The kids got spoiled of course but I would like to say we did to. Some of my favorite gifts were the gift cards to go out and the offer to babysit the kids so Ty and I can spend some us time before I leave. We also got a great gift for a night away! My parents contributed to the dinner and movie, while the watch the kids but also gave us a video camera which I am so excited to use. My little sister made us an awesome book from shutterfly and I LOVE it. There were some very meaningful gifts this year that touched my heart, and made me so thankful to my family and friends!

We spent New years in Oregon with Michelle and brandon and their new addition Mackenzie Julius, he is very cute adn we are glad we got to go up their and spend time with them. Ty also blessed him which was really cool.
That is it in a nutshell. Happy New year to everyone!

BIG NEWS

2010-11-21T15:43:00.002-07:00

Alright most people already know but I figured I would post it here since it is a big change in all of our lives! I am now an army soldier, I will be shipping out on April 19th to basic. From there I will go to AIT and will be trained as a 68 whisky or medical specialist. I am nervous, I dont want to leave my kids but it is going to be the best thing for our family and I will be able to improve what we have and make sure that my three beautiful children are taken care of.

Disney on Ice

2010-11-21T15:35:00.004-07:00

We took the boys to disney on ice and they loved it. It was fun..... overpriced but fun. THey loved seeing stitch mickey and minnie. Lorelai even loved watching it.

2010-11-17T20:21:00.001-07:00

Halloween

2010-11-17T14:16:00.002-07:00

I guess I have quite a bit of updating to do. Since the last post we have done several fun activities with the boys. We went to Cornbellys corn maze with the boys. They had a blast! We picked out pumpkins to paint and to carve. so we did those in the following weeks. Lacey and Chris came out with the girls the weekend before Halloween and we took them and the boys to Williams halloween carnival at the school. All of the kids had fun and it was nice to get them all out of the apartment! We carved pumpkins and for the most part William did all of his on his own. My little boy is getting so big! I love watching then grow and love seeing the new things that they are doing. For halloween the William was batman, Bradley was Stitch, and Lorelai was a cute flower. We had chili and scones here with our friends Heather and Tim and their little girl Ella. We had then went to my parents house and then heather's grandma's house. Afterward we went to their house and played games.

Now into October...

2010-10-15T00:28:00.002-06:00

Well most everyone knows and not many people read this but TY IS HOME! He was in the hospital for a week and one day. It is good to have him home and I dint realize how much work that he did around the house. The boys were so glad to have him home too. They were having a hard time not having daddy home. THe only one who didnt seem to care was my sweet little girl Lorelai.
Since then we havent dont much but take the boys to thanksgiving point and do the halloween stuff they have there. We also picked out pumpkins. I cant post pictures until Ty comes home with the camera though. I have been working midnights and I love having my shift back! Lorelai is finally eating baby food and she is loving it. She is slowly gaining weight but she is still so small. She is almost 8 months old and still is in her 3-6 month clothes which by the way fit her wonderfully! She loves to wake up in the morning and lay down by me in the bed, she pulls my hair grabs my face squeals and talks, and laughs. She is my little pumpkin.
Sunday we watched a movie and Bradley got off tys lap to just come down and lay down by me. My sweet boy, william is just as sweet and loves to help out.
I think that is about it... oh besides that I am doing p90x and i am loving it. I am already noticing a little change I am so excited for day 90!

The last month

2010-09-26T22:20:00.002-06:00

Well the last month has been interesting. A few weeks ago we went to the fair with the kids and our friends. We had a lot of fun and it was nice to go. The weekend after we went to Las Vegas to spend some time with Aimee and Dan. We havent seen them in a long time and it was nice to spend time with them and their kids. They showed us around Vegas and we found out there was more to do then just go to the casinos. We hung out in the hot tub went out on the town in the evening and took the kids to see some things.

William is having fun in school and Bradley is the best kid when William is gone. Lorelai is starting to sit on her own and she is talking a lot. She loves to have all of the attention. As for me I am just working, doing school and being busy. I did start P90X and I will try and keep updates on that I am so excited to be doing it.

As for Ty.... Well we ran into issues the Friday morning with him. He was up all night cause he said his stomach was bugging him. He said he had a sharp pain on the right side. We went to see the doctor and she said it could be the appendix or Crohns so she sent us to get a CT scan. Well he passed out during the CT scan and they had to give him fluids and take him to ER. The scan just showed that his intestines were really inflamed and that they had talked to the on call gastrointerologist. He said that he was wanting to admit him to the hospital. We were there from 1:30 to 8 before I went to pick up the boys, go home and get ready for work... Heather and Tim watched the kids for me... THANK YOU!!!! After I left the dr came in and said that according to the scan and according to the results of his last colonoscopy that this was the worst it has ever been and that they are going to keep him and try to get it under control. They aren't giving him much pain meds and nothing has changed.... so that is the update....

The end of summer

2010-09-01T10:42:00.002-06:00

Lets start off with my sweet little princess. She is now 6 months old and is a whopping 13 lbs. and 25 in. Making her in the 4th percentile for her weight and 25 for her height. She is starting to sit on her one but hasn't quite gotten the concept yet. She loves to talk and rolls all over the place.

We left to go camping on a week long trip at Lake Owyhee, the first part of the week we were alone and met some nice people. Tys brother Micah and Archie and their families joined us later in the week. We flew in Ty's mom so she could see who should up. It got a little chilly but we all had fun. We through Michelle a baby shower and just hung out and talked. There was a hot spring we all went to, only problem was it was hot or cold not really any medium. We are glad to be home now and are looking forward to our next camping trip with the family.

Other then that we are all doing school and I am busy with working. William starts kindergarten back up next week and we are just plugging along at life :)

William growing up

2010-08-16T22:51:00.005-06:00

So my little man is growing up. I cant believe that he started Kindergarten a couple of weeks ago. I know everyone says it but it really does seem like yesterday that I held this little guy in my arms!!!! My sweet boy loves his teacher and likes going to school. Lets hope it stays that way.

Swimming, dr appointments and ER

2010-07-22T13:31:00.004-06:00

Last Saturday we went down to Orem to hang out with one of my best friends from highschool. We went swimming had a bbq and just caught up. It was really nice and it was cool to see her all preggo (they had been trying for a long time). THe kids had a blast and it made me even more anxious to have the pool done here so we can swim. Lorelai loves the water and was so happy just laying there relaxing. We had Bradley's consultation after his sleep study yesterday. They think he would benefit from having a cpap machine but they want to check some other things first.... So first step is to see if he has acid reflux, apparently his throat is raw and so is his uvula. They think that maybe if he does have it, that it was the reason that he has always had respiratory problems, because laying down at night will bring that acid up to his sinuses. They say his chin is also really small which means his mandalin? is small and so his airways are really small.... he may have to have surgery on that. HE will also have to have a cat-scan of his sinuses and a chest xray. We might also have to do a test where they put a tube down his bronchial tubes and see if he has acid in his airways. So hopefully the acid reflux medicine helps the poor kid so we dont have to do the rest of it. Lorelai will get the oxygen machine before they decide if she needs a sleep study. Now for the ER i know you are curious as to why I put that... I spent last night at the ER because of this awful toothache. I went to the dentist on Tues because it has been bothering me and all he did was say we cant do anything here is an appointment with the endodontist. So last night I was in so much pain I was bawling and ended up going to ER to get some pain meds. It was worse then labor! So right now I am drugged and waiting til my appointment tomorrow where it will be taken care of! That is about it for now. We don't have much going on over the next couple of weeks besides school and meeting with Williams teacher next week. he starts Kindergarten on the 3rd. oh yah I also got my gun and I take the concealed handgun class next week. I am glad that we have protection and I cant wait to go practice but that will have to wait till after the pain meds lol.

Yellowstone

2010-07-11T22:53:00.003-06:00

I will post the pictures in a slide after this post, there are too many to choose from for just a few! We decided that we would take the kiddos to Yellowstone National Park, especially since Ty and I have never been before. We left a little later then we wanted to on Wednesday but made it up to our campsite with enough time to set camp up before it got dark. Lorelai did really well her first night camping. Granted she slept much better when she was cuddled up in my arms. Thursday morning we woke up, ate breakfast and headed out to do site seeing. We decided that our first trek was going to be to Old Faithful and that we would stop at all the geysers on the way down. At one of the stops we saw a a geyser going off the boys that it was awesome! Once we got to Old Faithful the boys said they were done and wanted to go home. I think they were tired of the sun! We did meet an older couple from Arizona. They were really nice and we had fun talking to them.... they loved the boys and Lorelai... However, everyone loved Lorelai, they kept stopping me so that they could look at her in her backpack! Lorelai loved all the site seeing as long as she was in the backpack and not in her carseat! The second day we decided to go see the wild animals. We saw an eagles nest with two in it! We saw lots of elk... the people were going crazy seeing the elk. THe road was always jammed pack when there was one, we saw a couple of bears and a couple of buffalo (which was bradleys favorite, and I love how he says it). We saw more geysers of course. We pulled into Mammoth Springs which was being over run by the elk so we got to eat lunch by them. The third day we hit the last couple of spots we missed. It started to rain so we ended the day a little earlier. However, when we got back to the camping spot we found out that the wind was so bad it had ripped the fly a little and so it brought the fly up enough that it got rain in the tent!!! The boys bed was soaked! so we had to pack everything up and come home a night early. We had a blast and cant wait until we go again :) PS the third day we hiked down to the most beautiful waterfall... However there was 328 steps and of course a lot of steep walking trails... good workout ha ha

My little Stitch

2010-06-27T23:40:00.004-06:00

My baby boy is now 3 years old! I cannot believe how time flies. He has gotten so big and talks so much now yet he is still a baby to me. He is finally starting to like his little sister and is giving her a lot of kisses. He is a sweet boy! Whenever he sees one of my scratches from work a bruise he kisses it better and says " there mommy is that better?" We didnt do much for his birthday, Saturday We had Logan and SArah in town with their 3 boys and Archie and Heather came over so we just did cupcakes for the kiddos. Sunday my parents and sisters, and Nate, came over to do icecream cake and presents. Bradley got spoiled and loves all of his presents but loves the care that papa and grandma gave him the most. The poor little guy had to go in for a sleep study so he will be spending the first part of his birthday hooked up to a machine. Here is to you buddy Happy Birthday and mommy loves you so much!

Lorelai at 4 months

2010-06-27T23:34:00.003-06:00

Well
Lorelai did it, she finally passed the 10lb mark! She now weighs 11lbs 4 oz and is 24 in long. She is in the 7% for weight. She is also teething and has become quite the ornery cuss..... well at least compared to what the boys were. She has also decided she will not take a bottle and is a nightmare while I am at work. She smiles as soon as I get home though... little turkey! SHe is getting bigger and likes to grab things now. She kinda rolls but prefers to scoot. We took her swimming a week ago and she loves the water so hopefully they finish our pool soon! That is her in a nutshell :)

Disneyland, earings, and Lorelai's battlewound from the boys

2010-05-31T23:47:00.003-06:00

Well we have been back from Disneyland for about a week now. Lorelai got her ears pierced a couple of days before we left and they are cute. We ended up driving Thursday night after I got off work. We stopped in Vegas to eat breakfast and took the boys to the m&m and cola store.... they loved it. We ended up going to Disneyland just for the parade and a couple of rides on Friday. The boys loved the parade and they liked the start if Disney but they sure were exhausted from the drive so we went back to the hotel. Sat when we got up off to Disneyland we went. Our friends Katy and Jared joined us. We all had a blast watching the boys. William was excited to see the characters... bradley....not so much. We got to eat dinner with the Characters sat night and rafiki held Lorelai up like he did Simba. We also got to see Shay and Cory at Disneyland... It was a lot of fun to see them and see Kylynn. Sunday we got up to get into the park an hour early. We were so exhausted by 3 we went back to the hotel to take a nap and headed back to the park for fireworks and ride some rides. Needless to say by Monday we were all ready to go home! We had a blast and are ready to go back but maybe next time when it is a little warmer and we can fly :) Now the next news.... I was making a pie in the kitchen and Lorelai was in the bouncy seat on the living room floor.... Bradley was jumping on the couch.... now I want to say that the kitchen and living room are connected. While I had the mixer on bradley was jumping around and then all of a sudden I hear a scream. I ran around the couch to see what had happened and it turns out that Bradley had thrown his sippy cup at Lorelai... hitting her in the eye. It took me a long time to calm her down and I started freaking out when the blood started dripping down her face.... I think bradley was just being silly and was trying to share but not for sure. I know he didnt mean to hurt her but it looks so bad! poor little thing!

Lorelai at 2 months

2010-05-11T20:37:00.005-06:00

So Lorelai has had a busy first two months of her life, we went to St George for my sisters sealing, we went to Oregon, we went to New Mexico to see Tys mom and we had to move. For all of that I would say she did pretty darn good but she sure is happy to be settled down now. She had her two month checkup a couple of weeks ago and she is 9 lbs and 22 and a half inches long. She is only in the 9 percentile for her weight so the dr says she needs to gain weight. She is starting to smile a lot especially at me :). She has a hard time when I am at work so we are hoping she can get over that! My sister came up mothers day weekend and it was great to see them and to see my little niece... how I love her she is so stinkin cute! William and bradley love Lorelai a lot and Bradley is even trying to share his blanket now...... for those who know bradley well this just does not happen..... The boys are getting excited for our disneyland trip in a week and a half. It will be great to see them there!

Many blessings

2010-04-23T23:25:00.003-06:00

So over the last month or so I have been more of a negative thinker and have been upset over a lot of stuff. While there was quite a bit of it that was something to be upset about I have forgotten to try and look at the positive and be grateful for my blessings. Today as I read one of my dear friends status on facebook I realized this. I have three beautiful kids whom I would do anything in the world for. They hare healthy, happy and for the most part well behaved. I try and remember this and often take it for granted, but I am so grateful for these special beings in my life. They bring me joy and it helps me realize a little more about the love my father in heaven has for me. My heart aches for my dear friend who has had such a loss and I know that she will have so many blessings coming to her.... it bothers me that it took looking at her loss to realize it my blessings (makes me feel horrible) . I am grateful for my job that helps me provide for my family. I am grateful for the roof over my head even though this "roof" keeps changing. I am grateful for the food I have to eat.... even the gross stuff. I am grateful to my husband for being mr mom and taking great care of my three wonderful children. I am grateful for my family. I am glad I have the opportunity to go to school and that I have use of all my body parts. All in all I have an abundance in blessings and I am grateful for all of them! I think that many times I focus on the here and now and do not take a look at the big picture. So my goal.....look at the big picture.

Lorelai's blessing

2010-04-17T00:05:00.007-06:00

We blessed my sweet daughter on April 11,2010. It was great we had some family and friends and I had fun dressing her up. The boys were happy to see Lorelai blessed but mostly to have the attention from people who would play with them. We had a blast with the people who came and I am grateful for those who came and those who helped make it a special day!

March and Easter

2010-04-16T23:50:00.010-06:00

Ok so I am not the best blogger but I will work on it. Things have been crazy since we came home with our sweet little girl. William turned 5!!! I cant believe how big he has gotten. Bradley is having a hard time with not being the baby anymore and he is constantly telling me "mommy move it I want up" He is getting better with Lorelai and he gives her kisses now. Ty and I went to Oregon to visit his dad and family. We went to St George to be with my sister and her hubby on her special day of being sealed to her little girl. It was so awesome and I am so glad she included me! We also went down to New Mexico for Ty's mom's bday and Easter. Down there we went to the biopark and had a blast! Lorelai is growing slow but she is growing. It is different have a small and petite baby. At two months both of the boys were in 3-6 month clothes and Lorelai is just starting to wear the 0-3. She is now smiling and she likes me... she smiles at me all of the time which is good cause I have had quite the adjustment with going back to work. When we went to St George my awesome friend did our pictures and she did an amazing job so if anyone is looking for someone to do pictures let me know and i will send you her way!!!!! I am loving being a mom to three and I love the new things that happen everyday.

February a crazy month!!!

2010-02-21T13:41:00.003-07:00

Well quite a bit has happened in the last month. I am going to start off from the beginning so I can have the correct time line. We celebrated my birthday at the beginning of the month and I got to celebrate it with my little sister Nachez having their first daughter at 6 am and then Tys twin brother had their third little boy around 7 am. So I got a niece and a nephew... How much better could that get :) We also went to the childrens museum and the boys loved it!!!! I got a call from Tys dad and got to go to tepinyakis for dinner. Bradley loved it and William not so much. Ty made me a cake and the boys blew out the candles before the song was even over! William lost his second tooth while eating a corn dog. He swallowed the tooth and didnt even realize it! Ty's mom came into Valentines weekend. It was really good to see her! We took her to the melting pot and she loved it! That same weekend everyone got sick though. Bradley ended up with Croup and the rest of us got a nasty cold! Now to the big news! Lorelai Dawn Crozier was born on 2-20-2010 at 11:33 pm She was 6 lbs 14 oz and 20 inches long. She is tiny compared to the boys but she looks like Bradley and has williams mouth. She is cute but of course I am biased! William is so excited for her to come home. They cannot come up here to the hospital so we have to wait til then.

January 2010

2010-01-23T12:29:00.004-07:00

Lets see what has happened in the last month..... Ty started school again and is doing good at it... I think he gets bored with the homework fast though lol. William lost his first tooth..... and he has another one loose. It took us a while to convince him that he was going to be ok and that the tooth fairy is nice. Bradley is talking a lot! he says 1-5 new words a day and is forming a lot of sentences. He has also become more cuddly if that is possible. He would be happy if William was not home and he got to cuddle with me all day long. I threw a baby shower for my sister Nachez and the cake was so freaking cute! My friend Heather and sis in law heather threw me a shower the same day it was awesome! Thanks guys!!!! I am excited for Lorelai to where her new clothes... Ty however, is more excited then me though! He asks me everyday if it is the day so he can see his daughter and dress her up... what a goob lol!
I think that is pretty much it... It has been pretty uneventful, We had Ty's bday so he is one year older. Just waiting for our busy February to come and go :)

Christmas and more

2009-12-30T21:35:00.003-07:00

Well, I thought I better get this done now while the house is really quiet (boys actually fell asleep. While we did not do anything to make it seem like it should have flown by it did. We were glad that we got most of the shopping done early on like September and October so it was nice to avoid it all during the hectic part of the season. We got to spend time with the boys starting new traditions and spending time with each other. We started a new tradition of elf on the shelf. This is where there is a little elf that you get to name and he hides in a new spot everyday. He goes to "Santa" everynight and tells him how the kiddos have been... It helps keep them in line a little bit:).... We started a couple of other things too. I have a 25 days of Christmas book where you read a story every night, all about service and Christ and many tear jerkers, and then we would read one of the Christmas books that we have. The boys for the most part liked doing this but lost interest usually half way through the stories. We made lots of candy this year, and had a blast just being with each other. The boys got spoiled!!! They got a kitchen set which they love, tool bench from grandma and grandpa terry, an art easel from grandma and grandpa terry and some balls and tools and puzzles from grandma crozier. We went to temple square and drive around and look at lights... the boys loved that!
Ty spoiled me with a Wii and a wii fit...to bad I cant use the wii fit quite yet....any time I try contractions start up so give it another 6 weeks and I will be faithful to that wii fit lol. Ty got some new shoes that he loves and an awesome mens jewelry box that has a cute little poem from the boys.
We missed not seeing all of Ty's family for Christmas but had fun seeing mine.
I think that is about it! SOrry so long!!

Thanksgiving and December

2009-12-06T18:52:00.002-07:00

Ok I have been putting this off cause I have not downloaded the pictures and I didnt really think there was much to post...Not a whole lot has happened in the last month... I am getting bored not going to work but at the same time I love not going to work lol. I have been more patient with the boys which is a plus and Bradley has really decided that he is a mommy's boy again and I love that any of my kisses can fix an owie no matter how big it is. He also loves to cuddle every morning and he loves it when his big brother is at school cause he gets up with mommy, watches cartoons and gets to have all the attention..... I am a little worried for when Lorelai comes though ;). William is doing very well in school and I cannot believe how smart that kids is!!!! He says some things that I didnt think a 4 year old could even understand. He is the biggest help and I dont know what I would do without him. We set up all of our Christmas stuff up the day after thanksgiving and of course he was right there to help with all of it. He kept standing back rubbing his thumb on his chin and then he would do a thumbs up and say perfect!!!!!! Anytime I tell him good job he says well thank you mom.... Bradley is on a kick where he says mommy help please for everything..... at least there are some manners there lol. We had a quiet thanksgiving. Archie, Heather and Gabe came up. IT was a blast and we love spending time with them!!!! The boys helped pick out the Christnas tree and william asks everynight if santa is coming. We also started a new tradition with elf on the shelf. THere isa little elf who hides every mornign before the boys get up and at night he tells santa how they have been. William loves looking for todd, that is what he named him.... and has been a little nicer to his little brother.... They have really started beating up on eachother and william will tell on his brother and then bradley will come up and say mommy owie, william hit me... I will say well didnt you do this and he will say yes and ok and run off... little stinker.
This weekend I was able to go see NEw Moon with Heather and Heather and it was a blast and then we went to the temple and dinner. It was nice having just tim, heather, ty and I and no screaming kids. THanks SHell for watcing them!!!!!!
Well that is it for nowI will post pics later :)

the new things going on....

2009-11-09T23:17:00.004-07:00

Well this might be updated a little more now because I have been put on Short term disability since I have some restrictions so UPS will not let me work. Not too much has happened in the last few weeks but I did have a lot of contractions which sent me to the hospital.... nothing to worry about though they just want me to take it easy. William is starting to get excited about Lorelai and bradley...... well he just doesnt care. Ty's Crohns has been doing a little better this last week which is good.
William likes to do his own hair I will post a picture of him. His teacher also told me that he is the sweetest boy ever today and that all he did was talk about his baby sister.... I dont know who is more excited him or ty to see her or me to just not be pregnant yet to bad we have to wait another 3.5 months!!!! William and Bradley got to talk to grandpa Crozier tonight.... It was really cool and gpa was excited. We are excited that mom is going to come spend Thanksgiving with us. We are going to take her to temple square to see the lights since she has never seen them.... That is really about it.. Bradley loves to cuddle with me and hte last couple of weeks has really quite enjoyed me getting up with him and putting him to bed (makes me feel special). He has also started the bad word.... MINE.... He does like to say hi to everyone we pass though and everyone thinks it is so cute.

Halloween

2009-11-04T09:10:00.005-07:00

Halloween wasnt that adventerous besides that I was supposed to be laying down instead of walking around with the boys but I went anyway! William was a very cute swat man and bradley was the cutest monkey ever!!!! We went to the ward trunk or treat and then off to my parents and then Heathers parents house. We carved the boys pumpkin two nights before and William did not like the guts! I should have gotten more pictures of halloween night but at least I got one so here you go :)

Halloween part-a-ay!

2009-10-26T09:35:00.002-06:00

So Heather and I decided to plan a little Halloween party, with Ty's help of course! It took a while to actually sit down and plan it.... You would think it would be easier since we live in the same house! We planned the food, games, and who we were going to invite... then we went and spent the $ :( but it turned out awesome. We did a string game where all the different string was weaved through each other and you had to follow your string to get to your bucket. It was interesting having everyone weave in and out of each other in the front room! We made homemade pizza and carved pumpkins and played a game downstairs. Then we watched a movie. We had fun with our friends Katie and Jared, Archie and Heather, Bernadette and Kyle, and Jay and Christie (sorry don't remember how to spell it I just know it is different then mine).

Its a.....

2009-10-10T03:03:00.002-06:00

Its a GIRL!!!!!!! We finally have our girl, little dresses and bows and pink.... well we hope, I have a feeling the boys arent going to let her have much girl but we can hope right? We are very excited to have a little girl in our family. William was the first person we told..... we actually tried to take him with us but LDS hospital was oh so kind in calling to remind us of our appointment, and to mention no one under 14 was allowed...... lots of sarcasm there! They even told us that we would not beable to have the boys come visit when we have our sweet little girl....yes very mad! Anyway so we called him and all he wanted to know was if the baby was out of my tummy! lol, I am excited to have two big brothers for my little girl and I know william will take care of her! As you can tell I am excited! We are going to name her Lorelai Dawn. Now just the 20 more weeks of waiting... at least it is winter which means lots of holidays to keep me occupied :)

2009-10-06T15:31:00.001-06:00

September

2009-10-06T14:37:00.002-06:00

I have been meaning to update this and just havent had the time so here we go.... In the last month.... I feel like we have been going, going, going but I cant really tell you in doing what cause it doesnt seem like anything has been accomplished lol. Once we got back from Ty's moms place we finally got a hold of someone to get William into school. It turns out that he is just behind in speech now which is great so after being in school for one week we switched schools but he loves it and goes 4 days a week!!!! Downside is it is at 8:25 in the morning and seeing how I work until 3 or 4 am it makes it a little difficult. Ty has been great at taking him every morning though and picking him up on Tuesdays and Thursdays since he does not have school on those days. We went to the zoo on a sat afternoon..... big mistake I will never do it again everyone and their dog was there and unfortunatly I take after my dad in not liking to be in big crowds like that which is why we get our Christmas shopping done really early... In fact it is almost done...... Bradley is talking more and more everyday and I am surprised at his vocabulary. When we say meal time prayers or our prayers at bedtime he says them right along with William. He has decided he really likes Ella now, That is Tim and Heathers little girl, and he gets mad when everyone else gets to hold her and he doesn't. Bradley is still into everything!!! Of course everything still goes into his mouth, crayons, paper, markers, dishes, any food, all the toys, rocks, grass... and so much more.
William is talking alot more, some things are still a little hard to understand but it is getting better and boy does he like to talk! He has become quite the tattle tale but he is still a sweetheart and usually will do whatever he can to help out. He loves Ella and is getting excited for our little one to come.
Ty is still pretty sick and has had his voice gone for almost a month agian. Hopefully it doesnt stay gone this whole winter, he seems to lose it whenever there is a drastic change in the weather. It is quiet without him talking...Those of you who know him know what I mean!lol. He is still doing school and his handyman company. He took us all to Pirates Island Pizza in Orem and it was awesome.. It is kind of like Chucky Cheese but much better pizza and a much better atmosphere, plus you didnt get all those people that push your kids out of the way or have their kids push you down. We met Marchele and Melissa there and the boys had a blast with Marchele, they love her to death and if they havent seen her in a while they always ask where she is.
Brandon and Michelle came down for a concert and stayed the night with us. We stayed up playing games way to late but it was good to see them and it was good to see Brandon open up more. Ty thinks we scared him away though... Thankfully he got to know a lot of the other Corziers first :)
I found out my little sister is having a girl.. yeah shay! she is going to be so cute! Other then that I switch to the twilight shift next week for a little while. It will be nice to get some sleep and operate on normal hours but it will be hard to miss the evening hours with the boys and I will miss my employees. They are great to work with. I am still doing school and Mary Kay. That is it for now I will do aother post with all of the pics from the last month and a half.

2009-09-12T11:46:00.002-06:00

I was informed that I needed to update this again so here you go Marchele. So We went camping at Bear lake and had a blast. We had to come home early because of a really bad wind storm though. We got a lot of sun! It was our last camping trip for the year so I am sad about that! We also went to Rexburg to drop off Michelles stuff and Marchele, Heather and Tim watched the boys for us. It was really good to be alone and the boys love Shell, Heath and Tim so they had a blast without mommy and daddy here. We also went to New Mexico to spend time with Tys mom. We had a blast and stayed on the indian reservation with her. It was a different experience but it was cool and made me realize I take a lot for granted! the boys were so excited to see grandma and William was so glad he had her to himself! We took a lot of interesting drives! We also stopped in Moab on the way down. I cant believe I have never been there it was cool.
We are still trying to get a hold of the school district to get William enrolled it is going on three months. He came in and was playing in the office yesterday and Bradley followed him in and pointed his finger at william and said something that probably wasnt nice......so William went up to ty and said "daddy gragry is being mean" ty said" well ignore him". William " but daddy gragery really hurt my hear!"
Bradley is being a turd. I was singing him a song and he said shhhh. When I kept singing he said mommy shhhh be quiet.
That is it for now. Besides that people need to update their blogs!!!!

The things kids say,,,,,,,,,

2009-08-30T12:52:00.002-06:00

Since I have been so bad at the baby books and at journaling i thought I would put this down and until I can catch up! Last weekend we all got a little bit burned so now we are peeling. William came up to Heather and said look I am going to be a real boy. Heather then asked aren't you one now and he said no I am going to be when this is all gone. Now he is only peeling on his arm and the only thing I can think of is that he got this from Pinocchio.It was the funniest thing ever.... where do they come up with this stuff?
Yesterday we came up to Rexburg to drop Michelle's stuff off to her and Brandon. Since we were doing this we got someone to watch the kids so we can enjoy some alone time. Heather called me and told me that right after we left William told her that he was hot. She asked him if he needed his shirt off and he said "no me hot like daddy". So great.
Bradley has a started a new thing that when we tell him sshhhhh he sticks his finger in is mouth and says shhh. so the other day Heather told him to be quiet cause Ella was sleeping and she said something to William so he looked and her and said ssshhhhh. Yesterday Marchele was holding him and told him to stop and he pointed at her and said no you stop. The little monkey also tried to chase ty out the door when we left but when I left he just said bye and ran off. THey constantly have us laughing and I love having them around!!!

thankful....

2009-08-26T03:27:00.004-06:00

I am adding this post cause one, I am winding down after a crazy night and two I decided I should post something positive. We had a scare tonight and it made me think of things. I have decided having a post of what I am greatful was a good idea. I am greatful for my hubby who gets up with the kids at night and in the morning so I can get two more hours of sleep since I dont get home until 3am. I am greatful for the two most beautiful boys ever who are so sweet and keep me smiling. I am greatful that I have a house, food, clothing, a job to pay for it and a vehicle to drive. I am greatful (this should be at top) for my savior and father in heaven who are there for me and without them I would have none of this. I am greatful for my great friends Heather and Tim who treat my boys like their own and would do anythign for them, including hurting themselves to keep them safe! I am greatful for my mother in law, who listen, guides, and helps me where needed and who gives me the words I need to hear. There is much more but I dont want to make a novel of it all!:) Just thought I would leave a positive notw ;)

The life with boys

2009-08-17T19:30:00.005-06:00

My friend Heather talked me into do this little post so people could see how two Crozier boys keep me so busy! One morning they went downstairs to play in their play room and when we found them the room was a disaster!!!!!! They do this often and usually are pretty good at picking up but man it makes you tired just looking at it! Tys mom spent a couple of days with us this last week and she said she could not believe how busy Bradley was and I guess I never noticed it til he was next to some other kids and til someone pointed it out. I love my boys and they crack me up but who would have thought two short people could do that much damage? :) On another note as we were sitting down eating dinner last night William out of nowhere decided to start a conversation... this conversation was not with us though. It was with the cream of wheat and his spoon. He started saying....wait, get more get more, now up, up, up, up.... we laughed forever. Bradley has decided his blanket or beebee, needs to be at the table with him and it was only yesterday that I realized that beebee is his blanket not ella. he now says.... ood nigh (good night) uv u (love you) ee u orni ( see you in the morning) and then demands for his milk. little turkey. William loves grandma, and wants to be wherever she is. We had Lacey, Ty's little sister, and her kids here this weekend and last weekend and the boys love her girls. Although they call them girls and the girls call them boys! Andrea looks exactly like her dad but Annie looks like Lacey and in turn looks like bradley. So william bradley and Annie look like siblings!:) that is it for now.

William and Ella

2009-08-07T05:05:00.002-06:00

I just had to add this picture because it shows how much William loves Ella. Ever since Heather brought her home from the hospital all he does is ask to hold her. So one day I set up the tent in their playroom, so they could have a hide out while watching a movie and hopefully be quiet, he asked to hold her and it was so darn cute!

Table

2009-08-02T16:42:00.005-06:00

Ok here is the project that I have been spending all my free time working on. I sanded it, painted it, distressed it and then put the finish on. I love it! It can sit up to 8 people and has a leaf so of course it can sit less people. William even helped me and told me how good I was doing.... what a little sweetheart. I am going to post one other picture with it because the boys were so cute and cuddling with each other which hardly ever happens!!!!!

2009-07-31T05:09:00.001-06:00

The last month.

2009-07-31T04:12:00.002-06:00

Ok so here I am at 4:15 in the morning but I have a lot of stuff on my mind so of course I am wide awake!!!! grrr. Anyhow I realized that I had not updated anything about Bradleys birthday, the 4th or our news. We did Bradley's birthday on the 3rd because Tys mom was in town. In that week we spent a lot of time with Archie and Heather which was fantastic I love spending time with them. Ty's mom watched all three kids so that we could go to a movie and lunch together. We did fireworks at Archie and Heather's house on the 4th. Gabe's blessing, their little boy, was on the 5th so we got to go watch him be blessed. He is so freaking cute now if only I could get Heather to let me watch him so she could have a break.....hint hint heather ;). I have decided that I really need to write down things that William says because they are hilarious and I can never remember them anymore!! Ty and I found out that we are expecting again. I am still kinda unsure about it all and it happens to be when everyone else is pregnant in the family. I have been working at UPS still and really need to get going on Mary Kay. I took a leave of absense from school for a term so I could have a break. We bought a used table off of craigslist and I sanded it and painted it. I am proud of the work I put into it so I will most likely put pics on when I am completely finished. Bradley is all healed after the surgery and swine flu but he is a pill as usual. He is talking a lot more and he counts to three and then runs away. His new favorite thing is to run up to me like he is going to give me a hug and kiss and turn around half way through and run the other way. While William does pic on his little brother he has been a big help lately. Yesterday I took the boys to the park and he played really well with bradley and kept tabs on him. He held his hand while I carried all of the lunches and stuff. He then helped me sand and kept telling me he loved me. He is my sweetheart and I am so thankful for him I guess he knew I really needed it yesterday!
I have been having a hard time lately, I am feeling walked on, used and neglected and am frusterated with people telling me something and then completely ignoring me the next minute. It is stupid I know and I am all hormonal but I guess I am just tired of double standards and feeling like I am not important or dont need help.... that is my venting for this post. I will post more on boys as I write down what they say and I will post my table in a few days... I know boring for you guys but I am way excited about it:)

Bored

2009-06-18T01:02:00.002-06:00

Ok so I know I just updated this a couple of days ago but I am bored and since I am used to being up until 3 or 4 at work I cant really sleep yet. I was hoping I would miss this whole swine flu thing but I got it and am not supposed to go to work for a week. Granted the break is nice but since I cant enjoy it by staying in the sun since there is none, or going to the pool...since we are sick I am stuck home watching tv. I should be working on homework but cannot concentrate on it :S Other then that we are good though... Ty is doing a medical study for Crohns, it isd an infusion thing he does once a month for a year. Hopefully it works and helps them further along the study of crohns and make progress of getting people better and out of the pain that they are always in!!!! That is really all that is going on. We get to head to the dr again tomorrow to get William some Tamiflu and hopefully see if bradley is alright he has lost a lot of weight in the last couple of weeks, but at least he is still his good ol self! Love ya'll

the news of the croziers

2009-06-15T02:10:00.004-06:00

So this week has been an eventful week... Ty got sick and finally went to urgent care today and you guessed it the swine flu. We think he caught it from Primary Childrens ER because he spent 4 hours there on tuesday night with Bradley since we thought he was dehydrated from the surgery. Problem is that now Bradley is starting to act like he has it :( The other thing that happened was William was doing something he shouldnt be when he was supposed to be sleeping. We arent sure of the whole thing besides that he started screaming and I walked in and he had a bloody nose and all of the stuffed animals and the net were ripped down. So our guess is that he was hanging on it and fell. I will be podting pics of his swollen and black nose and his black eye. The pics arent great but you will get the idea. I am kind of afraid to take hime to school tomorrow :S He was a sweetheart and helped me do whatever he could today though. That is the only news really going on but that I believe williams way of saying UPS as P.O.S is the way to say it now. Ohh and I am thinking of making this private.... Some people are being rude and uninviting on this.

2009-06-05T04:47:00.001-06:00

There are more pics on Facebook if you wanna see them

2009-06-05T04:41:00.002-06:00

First leg of the trip, second leg, third leg, home and move.

2009-06-05T03:41:00.003-06:00

So the first part of ORegon was interesting. We left about an hour after I got home from work. We had to repack the trailer before we left though so we were out in the grocery parking lot unloading everything and then loading it all back up.... yes we looked like a bunch of idiots!! From there we drove straight to Bend ORegon where... you guessed it we broke down. It is the regular Crozier curse. We had to spend an extra night in Bend so we could get everything fixed and head out. This cut our time in other places so we did not get to meet up with all of our dear friends in Coos bay! :( While in Bend we did get to go into the Lave cave and We had to hike to the lava cast forest because the roads were still closed off from all of the snow. We had a blast camping though and I did awesome at setting up the tent all by myself and I am a pro at it! The boys had a blast and did very well with all of the hiking. What was the best is that they were out by 9 and they slept the whole night it felt so good to have a good nights sleep!!!
One night camping we had raccoons attack our campsite and they got in a fight, man those things are vicious. We went to Newport and camped in a yurt at Beverly beach. I think I could have stayed there longer:) We got to go to Ripley's believe it or not, the aquarium and the wax museum. william hated Ripleys believe it or not and was scared most of the time. Bradley just wanted to be held a lot and doesnt get that he is a little to heavy to be carried around. We went to Seaside from there where we stayed in a resort. As soon as we got everything unloaded and started doing laundry the power went out. There was a storm and someone ran into a pole. We were out of power for 5 hours. It was annoying only because there was no way to fix food and there was no way that we could go anywhere to eat cause everywhere was closed down. We got to visit Astoria when we were there and saw the school where they filmed kindergarten cop and then we went to the tillamook cheese factory where they have awesome cheese and ice cream!
After that we went and stayed at Logan and sarah's house. Their boys are getting so big and man I thought bradley was busy I think Aaron is busier ;) Poor Sarah!!! We got to see Portland and hang out with Micah and Lisa and We got to visit Ty's dad. It was so good to see the fam but again we missed out on seeing everyone! The boys cracked us up the whole time. Anytime we got in the car william would go through the list of names and ask us if we were buckled up and if we werent he would not be quiet until we were. Bradley pretty much did one thing.... mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommmmyyyy mommmmm moommmmm mommmmm....yyyyy mommmy and so on. He thinks it is funny now. He is also a charmer and charmed anyone we ran into. He liked the caves but was mad he wouldnt carry him the whole time and decided to lay down and scream. He also found his way around and wandered off a few times talk about a heart attack.We made it home safely and just in time to pack up all of our stuff and move into our new place. We love it in our new place and we even have room for an office and a play room for the boys. William and bradley have bunkbeds which they love. We did have to turn the lock around though because william sneaks out and we have no idea! His new thing is to yell... get out of bed, open the door and turn on the lights!!! he also likes to call UPS..... POS...

Rest of April

2009-06-05T03:28:00.002-06:00

Ok so I am going to try and make a lot of little posts so that I can update everyone on what has been going on.... Michelle flew out to Portland a few days after being here. From there we started planning our trip to Oregon and actually decided to move in with our friends to save us all money and give us all room so we found a place on craigslist that we love!!! We got together with Archie and Heather... We love to get together with them and Gabe is so freaking cute!!! That is actually all I remember so lets see if I can remember everything else!!! lol

Easter weekend

2009-04-19T13:23:00.006-06:00

Ok Easter weekend was interesting but fun. Ty picked up Michelle on Thursday. We were planning on dying easter eggs on sat and had also decided that we would throw her a small little birthday shindig because she decided she was going to Portland to go get a job earlier......although we knew that wasnt the case because she is being picky about getting a job and she just wanted to see Brandon. Well after a phone call she got all pissy and while we told her she needed to not get on the because we were going to do a family thing. She got even pissier and said that she was going to do what she wanted. After Ty had told her no we are doing something important she complained about how long it was going to take and ran outside slamming the front door. From there ty opened the door and told her to get her butt in the house and she said I am on the phone leave me alone..... I hope she felt like a prick after she opened her gifts. We should have kept one of them she didnt deserve it. Anyway from there we dyed eggs. We had fun and William thought it was cool. Bradley wanted to color on all of the eggs and then he would bang the egg up and down on the table breaking almost every single egg he touched.
Our friends Heather and Tim and Heathers sister Marchele came and celebrated and decorated the eggs with us. We had a blast watching the kids. After getting the kids in bed we had a fun night playing games.
Besides Easter and the boys getting older... Ty is doing trade for his construction in order for us to get chiropractic care. He has been busy the last couple of weeks doing that. I am building my Mary Kay business and I started at my new school. William is talking alot more!!!! We can almost understand everything he says. He reminds us each night to pray and read scriptures. Bradley started saying luv you back to us and it is so cute when he says it. The boys or William will wake up early and quietly sneak out to the kitchen, steal snacks and get enough for bradley so that he will be quiet. We found Capri suns and Cookies all over the room a couple of weeks ago..... Since then we have changed the lock around so that he cannot sneak out. That is it for us :)

March.. (Spring I think not)

2009-03-25T03:51:00.004-06:00

Well the boys Ty and I were starting to get really exicted. We hit a whopping 70 one day and the whole week before that we were in the 60's but alas like normal Utah decided to fool us and bring snow the next week. We did enjoy that wonderful week though and spent a little bit of each day at the park. The boys love the park and they have a hard time picking between the swings, the slides, or being chased by mom and dad. They are getting so big!!! William's teacher told us last week that he said a full sentence that they could understand and his vocabulary is growing fast. I have a feeling he will be in the special ed preschool one more year but he should be caught up if not ahead by then. Bradley is talking alot!!!! He is still having a lot of health issues.....we are going to try and get him into an allergist and see if it is something along those lines. He loves to do whatever william is doing and it drives william crazy!!! I start at my new school in a week and it is going to be crazy!!! I am still trying to build Mary Kay and I am helping my boss run Revenue Audit It is too bad I don't get paid more for it!!!!

Anyway that is it for now I hope everyone is doing well!!! We love and miss everyone

Williams bday

2009-03-01T20:51:00.003-07:00

Well tomorrow the 2nd of March is my baby's birthday, although he really isn't a baby since he has a little brother and he is turning 4! I can't believe how the time has flown and how big he has gotten. I remember the night we had him... we went in at midnight, couldn't get a room until 10 am where I got my epidural because I was in so much pain and so tired!!!! I was dilated to a 5 but then I stopped.... so 7 hours later they broke my water and gave me the pit. 3 hours later there he was. So beautiful the nurses even threatened to keep him because he was so cute, so quiet and never cried! I remember looking at him and looking at Ty as we had tears running down our faces. Well our sweet little baby has turned into a very stubborn and outspoken 4 year old! While he is stubborn he is still very sweet and loves to be cuddled and praised. Whenever his little brother is upset he is the first one there to give him a hug. He talks so much and is such a great artist. He loves to color and read and is doing very well in school. He is a daddy's boy but still loves to be around his mom.

We are surprised by the things he picks up in his language and what he has learned. He does however keep us on our toes and keeps us laughing quite often with the things that he says. I cant believe how fast four years has gone and I hope that we celebrate many more with this sweet young boy that has tremendously blessed our lives!!!! I love you Buddha!!

The zoo

2009-03-01T20:47:00.004-07:00

A couple of weeks ago we were all bored so we decided to wrap up the kids and go to the zoo with Heather and Tim. There was no one there of course because we were the only crazy ones who would go to the zoo when it is freezing outside!!! It even started snowing on us through the last stretch of the zoo. There werent many animals out we saw the monkeys, zebras, giraffes, elephants and one or two cats. THey boys had a blast though and they were worn out by the time we got home.

JAN and busy busy busy

2009-01-24T00:42:00.007-07:00

So far this month has been busy! Ty started school and is doing very well he really likes it and is the top in all of his classes. Other than that he is doing work and studying. William is talking a lot more!!!! We are understanding much more of what he saying which is a relief since he gets so mad when we dont understand him. His teachers love him and say that he is a great help and they still cant believe how much fine motor skills he has. Bradley is a turkey and he is still into everything! William is getting him out of is bed in the morning and when this happens he runs into my room and says mommy mommy mommy dodsaoasdbdada. that is close to how it comes out. He loves to go bye bye no matter where it is that we are going. He waves and says bye bye mommy bye bye. Now me.... well nuthin has changed I wake up feed the boys somewhere between that and work I do homework, work out, take care of the boys and yada yada yada.

THe big event of the month was tys birthday. I threw a surprise party for him but he knew about it because my dad blew it but it was all good he acted surprised and he said he had a blast. We had the family and friends over and our friend heather took pics so I wil upoad them. THe only bad thing was that I forgot to invite Archie and HEather (SORRY GUYS). I got so busy doing school and work and trying to get things together to go to st george for nachez bachelorette party I forgot to call them.

The only other thing to report on i that ty has still been dizzy and dehydrated and we are working at getting him better. He goes to see the GI dr on friday so we will see what he says. The other thing is that Bradley keeps getting respitory viruses and anytime we go into the dr for anyone of us he is sick and so finally when we took him in to the dr for what we thought might be an ear infection(which it was) and she said she wanted to test him for cystic fibrosis because he is always sick so we will keep you guys updated. I highly doubt it is but it would be nice to know why this kid always seems to have a bad cold! luv ya'll

December

2009-01-05T16:24:00.006-07:00

Well more happened in December then in November so lets see if I remember it all. Ty got registered for school and vocational rehab is paying for all of it because he was labeled as disabled with his Crohns. Michelle came home in the second week of December but she went up to Oregon for the last part of the break. Ty and the boys loved their christmas and were really excited about their gifts I dont think Michelle was so much though. I loved the gilmore girls seasons that I got so I am stoked I have all of them now. We also made another move. We are in an apartment now and we will be saving a lot of money living in it and hopefully can get out of debt sooner. IT was a long and hard move even though we didnt move many miles. I did a lot of the packing and we didnt have much help so I am glad it is done!!!! We had to get rid of Lizzy and it is hard not having our dog here with us but she is in a good home with 5 kids.... a fenced in backyard and the girls like to play tea party with her. However we do have two new additions to our family. Two rats..... no one appreciates them like me and william but that is ok. Bradley likes to lay down on his stomach and watch them. He is still climbing everything. In one week he gave himself a black eye, fell down the stairs and fell out of the vehicle landing on his head so he looks like he got beat up poor kid. The kids got pretty spoiled and they loved all of the gifts and william loves the clothes he got from his aunts and grandma and grandpa...... he also loves all of the colors that he got.
For New Years eve we had our really good friends Heather and Tim come over and we played games and just relaxed. We also got a ton of snow and we are not getting any chances for very much of it to melt. Today I think we had a high of 19 degrees. That is about it....... oh I changed my hair.....

November and so on....

2009-01-05T00:32:00.000-07:00

Okay I am going to try and sum up what has gone on in two different posts. Lets start from oldest to youngest. Ty has been feeling better but has had some problems with his crohns. He is starting school in a week and he is really excited. He will go to the community college for a little less then a year and then the plan is to go to Weber state. He got a raise at work and is thinking about switching places where he can learn more but we will see how that goes. Other then that he has been working and sleeping and trying to get things together for school. He worked Thanksgiving day and we got together for our own thanksgiving dinner the sunday before thanksgiving. We ate dinner with my sister Nachez her fiance and our friends Bernadette and Kyle.

As for me...... Since it was over a month ago I do not remember what happened. We put the Christmas stuff up the day after thanksgiving and got a beautiful tree. William had a blast putting up the decor and he put the star on the tree but he did not like being on daddy's shoulders and on top of a chair. He almost pulled ty of the chair. I guess that actually falls under the William category..... I did some school took a little break... worked a lot... took care of kids, umm that is all I can remember sorry.

William is doing great in school and he is talking a lot more! We can understand most of what he says and he says the funniest things. As soon as we put up the tree he talked about Santa Clause and presents. He was sleeping in our room after the surgery and kinda just stayed there because he and Bradley slept so much better seperated. He loved staying in our room and it actually let me sleep in later in the morning.

Bradley. He said no for the first time and has decided he is going to do a blood curtling scream anytime something isnt right.... well right according to him. He is finally slowing down in growing width but he is growing in heigth a little bit.

Stupid Doctors

2008-11-08T04:29:00.002-07:00

Ok so I am venting because I am quite mad at some of the medical field right now. So yesterday early morning I got home from work and not long after I went to bed Ty got up to go to work. Well a few hours later I get a call from his friend Heather at work saying he passed out and asked if I could come get him. Well since he is a Crozier and they pass out from pain in their hands.... ask Lacey who jams her finger or Micah who smashes his hands.. they all usually pass out when it comes to their hands. He hasnt passed out from pain in his hands since highschool though and since then he has nailgunned his finger to 2X4 and so on. Well passed that rambling... I just figured it was from pain.... So I get me out of bed and through on pj bottoms and a sweatshirt and grab the boys with out diaper bag or anything and go to pick up Ty. Once I get there I find out that he had a seizure. So off we go to the ER. Once we get there and wait forever for the doctor to come in he finally shows. He asks questions, act like Ty is stupid for not remembering what happened (Umm do most people who passed out or who had a seizure remember the things in between.... HELLO). Then he says that the nurses at Ty's work over reacted that it isnt serious and it wasnt a serious seizure that he was going to do blood work and EKG and send him home... I want to point out that Ty works at a care center where someone is having seizures almost everyday....... Then he brings the blood tests back says ty has a pretty high blood count and that it is probably from his appendix, but he is going to send him home. To top that off Ty was complainign about being very lightheaded, being in quite a bit of pain and that he felt a lot of pressure in his stomach and it is not normal he feels like something is wrong. The Doc says well get a GI doc and have him check out your Crohns even though Ty had said it wasnt his crohns and that he crohns was doing all right.

So now that I am done venting I hate dr's.

Disneyland

2008-11-05T14:30:00.006-07:00

Disneyland was a blast and we cannot wait until we can take the boys next fall! Disneyland was busy but California Adventure was pretty dead so we had everything done in a day and a half so we spent one evening at Knotts Berry Farm where they have their haunt thing kind of like frightmares. We loved being there but the first day was almost 100 degrees.... at the end of september! It was nice to relax and to not worry about getting up at a certian time and doing things on our own schedule. I think it is very smart to get alone time like this........Even though I drove Ty crazy everytime I saw a baby or a 3 year old. Man I missed my kids! I wondered why when I got home though and the boys decided to make up for that lost time.... Those who have boys know what I mean!

Halloween

2008-11-05T14:18:00.003-07:00

Well Halloween was just another day in our household this year. We did do a little trick or treating but when we left to go to grandma and grandpas house Michelle, our daughter, passed out some of Williams halloween candy. Work started early that day so I had to go dressed up since I didnt have time to change into my supervisor clothes. I dont think I want to hear the words yee-haw for awhile now. Although everyone said I looked hot or cute as a cowgirl so I was ok with that! William was the most adorable pooh bear and he was the only polite kid out on the street, all of the other kids were pushing and they almost knocked him down several times. He would say thank you and the people at the doors loved him! Bradley was superbaby and was adorable. Everyone loved him in his costume and they had to laugh at him because he got a small box of nerds and devoured the whole thing. When I say the whole thing I mean box and all!! Ty won the costume contest at work because he dressed up in his dads indian regalia.

The last month in a nutshell!!

2008-11-05T14:07:00.002-07:00

Ok so I have decided that #1 I suck at spelling if I type to fast so I am going to type this slower.... no one cared to mention all the misspelled words in the last post, but that is probably because no one looks at it:) #2 I really suck at this blogging thing, everyone else updates theres often and mine is like once a month if that.

Things have been crazy in our home as usual. Bradley has decided that climbing is his favorite thing and he makes sure that everyone knows it. I found him in the bathroom sink a couple of weeks ago and shortly after that I found him in the toilet stomping his feet...... Needless to say I stand by the door when william goes to the bathroom now so that I know the door is shut! I am just waiting for the moment he climbs out of the crib and I hope it isnt to soon. Now for all of you who hoped Ty got a screaming kid like him...... well he got it but he doesnt have to deal with it!

AS for William, he loves school but is off track right now. He got his tonsils out on the 20th and I think last night was the first night since then that he slept all night. We had to take him to the ER because he had a bloody nose that would not stop from his surgery. He is good now and thankfully not as whiny anymore! He is getting big and talking a lot more. He loves to color and I think I get at the very least 5 pics a day from him.

I got the midnight shift so that makes me happy! I am just extremely tired from not going to bed until 3 or 4 am. Other then that I am doing school and I picked a couple of shifts up at the daycare I used to work at. Ty got a small promotion and he has a nasty cold he is trying to get rid of.

One more week

2008-09-21T21:05:00.005-06:00

I am so excited! Ty and I get to go to Disneyland next week and have a week to ourselves. He has never been so it will be great to see his reaction to it all! While I have all of this excitement though I am getting nervous to leave my kids. I have never been away from them for even 24 hours..... well ok I guess there was the one time I went to girls camp and William stayed home with daddy but that has been it. I don't know what I am going to do without them. It will be nice to have time to ourselves though and I know that Disneyland would be miserable with them...... Ok this is my reasoning. Ty is loving his CNA job and I am hoping to move shifts at my job soon. so it will be nice to not have to worry about babysitters because no one seems to want to watch our kids. Hmmmm that is the only update that I can think of besides that our little biter but William again!

2008-09-13T01:37:00.002-06:00

Bradley got a new outfit for his bday and he looks like a little preppy man in it. I love it on him so I had to post a pic. He loves to follow me around the house and try and get me to carry him. He usually wins after about 30 minutes of his whining. He said his first words two days ago. Bye byeand he waves when he does it. He has also become quite the biter and he drew blood on williams back today. Little stinker!

2008-09-13T01:32:00.003-06:00

William started school a couple of weeks ago and he loves it. I was worried that he would freak out on the bus but I think that is his favorite part. In fact the other day I had to go to a dr appointment and had to pick him up from school. He cried because he couldnt ride the bus home, he then told his teachers he was not coming with me and I wasnt his mom. Can you believe it! He also has become a big help in helping clean things up. In fact Shay was organizing her room (cleaning) and he decided to help her clean it up and folded her clothes.

rest of summer

2008-08-23T18:41:00.004-06:00

For the rest of the summer we did bradleys bday which was really small and a couple of hikes. We didnt really do anything else but work. I am still a UPS and Ty is doing his handyman business but he just started a CNA job and they are going to pay for his certification and then he is going to start school in January and once he is done with his first year he will try and go to the U of U and become a RN. Other then that we have been running around like crazy!!! The boys are getting big and Michelle is getting excited to go to school. William is finally potty trained!!!!!!bradley is walking! Lastly I have made my weight goal of 125 so I am excited. That is about it.

I will try and post more later on. If you want to see more pics check out myspace or facebook. I was going to add one of brads bday but it wont let me so please check out facebook.

second Oregon Trip

2008-08-23T18:10:00.006-06:00

At the end of June we went back up to Oregon for Ty's grandma's memorial. While in Bend we camped with Micah and Lisa and the boys. We had so much fun!!! While we were there we swam in the river which was freezing cold!!! We went in a cave and we went to the lava cast forest. Archie got to come with us and we had fun camping with him although we were really sad that Heather could not come!

From there we spent some time in Portland. We got to the beach, and the zoo, and we had the family reunion with Tys family. We also got to see Archie, Ty's dad, which made us really happy we had not seen him in over two years (ok well I hadnt). It was really nice to see all of Ty's family and it was sad to leave them. Bradley got to play with Aaron but they got territorial when it came to cups and food.

2008-06-09T00:48:00.008-06:00

Update as of June of 2008

2008-06-09T00:27:00.004-06:00

So I have a lot of updates and pictures to add so I will try and get them all on as soon as humanly possible. There was a girl that at one point we were going to try and adopt when we lived in North Bend Oregon. However, the state of Oregon (whom we really despise) would not let us, we have been keeping in touch with her though and she changed her last name to ours and we consider her family. We call her our daughter even though it really isn't possible because of the age difference but we love her and think of her as one of our own. So to get to the point, we went up for her graduation the end of May and she came home with us so she is going to live with us until she goes to school in the fall.

The boys are getting big and William has finally gotten to the throwing a fit stage. I thought we were going to be lucky and miss the whole thing but apparently I was wrong!!!! He has even started throwing things at us and he will go to Ty and say daddy water now!! Then he has started calling Ty by his name. He also will walk up and decide that Bradley cannot play with that toy and he will either try and exchange it or just take it. Then Bradley will scream bloody murder, I would think that he was getting his arm chopped off or something.

I have a supervisor job at UPS now, I am in the Revenue Recovery part and I absolutely love it!!!! So since I got the promotion I switched shifts to the twilight shift which is 5 pm to 10 pm which makes it a lot easier except that I don't get to eat dinner with the fam (but I think Ty has a new appreciation for being a stay at home person). I also sale Mary Kay so if anyone needs anything.......

Ty started his own handyman company it is called The Professional a handyman company. He is excited to have it up and going. He is also working as a financial advisor and is excited to have that up and coming too.

That is us in a nutshell

The news on the boys

2008-06-03T01:52:00.001-06:00

So I am not doing to good at keeping this up so people know what is going on. We are in our own place now and we have been since February. We love the place we are in, the boys love sharing their room and I think they have a little bet going on who can stay up the latest. Bradley will stand up and hang onto the edge of the crib and jump and he will start screaming if william is ignoring him. William stays up til one or two and reads his books. William gets mad at Bradley if he plays with his cars and he will say no Bradley no and then try and move him. Bradley loves paper and books and eats whatever he can get his hands on!!! Bradley is trying to walk and William is only half interested in potty training.

2008-06-03T01:49:00.002-06:00

We took Michelle our sorta adopted teenage girl to the cheese factory in tilamook. william was so messy we had to take off his shirt.

2008-06-03T01:47:00.001-06:00

My three boys on the fourth of July. Bradley was only 6 days old. He is a lot chubbier now!!!

Update

2008-06-03T01:46:00.001-06:00

Ok family and friends sorry it took so long to updateI lost the address and finally found it.......while trying to find it I found Sarah and Logans, guys you havent done anything on it since you got sealed:).So we are in Utah now living with my family until the beginning of the year. It is wierd living with them again, I like being on my own, but it hasnt been bad. We love being by Archie and Heather and some of my friends but we miss Tys family in Portland!!!!!!!!Bradley is almost 5 months old, can you believe it, he is spoiled rotten my sisters hold him all of the time so now they wonder why he cries when he isnt being held. He was sleeping good through the night until a month ago when he decided to switch it up on us. I think he is getting the hang of sleeping more of the night now. He loves his brother and he loves his blanket, I am going to have to make Tys mom make me another frog blanket so that we have extras! He has two teeth and is working so hard at getting the others in.William loves his brother but misses all of the attention from mommy and daddy. He loves his winter coat and gloves and hat. He brings it to me to put on so we can go outside and I have to keep telling him to wait. He is also getting quite dependent and hates the help from mommy or daddy. He is speaking a lot more and he cracks us up he is to smart for his own good!!!
Ty's Crohns is doing great, he has never felt better and he loves his job. The owners absolutely love him and they keep complimenting him. He loves Utah but hates the Drivers!!!!
Me...... Well I am crazy as usual, I started at UPS last week and I also work 12 hours at a day care each week. I cant wait to get our own place, as much as I love my family and am very greatful for their help. I am going to start my bachelors degree in April and will get it in accounting. That is about it.

William and his bro

2008-06-03T01:43:00.002-06:00

William loves to cuddle with bradley. One day I had put Bradley down on the couch and a little while later walked back in, there was William cuddling with him and he had put the blanket over them by himself.

Jan 2008

Well things have been crazy!!! Ty and I finally found our own place to live and although I am extremely grateful to my parents for letting us crash here I am excited to be on our own again. Bradley is getting big he is 6 months now! William and him have strep throat.Ty is going to become the operations manager of his job in the near future and I am still a lowly loader at UPS but they like me a lot and think I am a hard worker. Christmas was a lot of fun and it was nice to have a white christmas. It was nice to spend it with my family. I am going to be starting my bachelors in April and am looking forward to that but am very nervous at the same time. That is all that has really happened in a nutshell. I will post more pics up when we get them developed and onto disc, since my digital camera is on the spritz.....

The first post

I thought I would start this blog up to keep family and friends updated so we will see how well I do at it:) So I guess I will just start by saying what we have all been up to lately. We were blessed with our second boy on June 28th at 1:52 am. He was a whopping 8 pounds and 13 oz. a little over a pound more than William. My mom was able to come up and be there for the birth and she said it was exciting.... I think it was just exciting because it wasnt her going through it this time! Ty and her made me walk for four hours earlier that day cause they wanted baby to be here. He is whinier than William but we still enjoy him and he is starting to do smile a lot. At his one month checkup he had grown an 1 1/2 and he had gained 3 pounds. I am sure that he is heaver than that now.
William loves being a big brother but hates not being the only one anymore. He loves to help out and one day I had given Bradley a bottle of breastmilk because we were out all day and William decided to help hold it. Well a few minutes later when I turned around William wasnt helping anymore he was drinking the bottle.
William is now 2 1/2 and is a normal toddler. He can be a big help at times but other times he is a pill. He actually cried when grandma went home after the baby was born and he hates it when daddy goes anywhere with out him. He could care less about mamma though. He loves his cousin drew and they get into everything together!!! He still isnt talking much he will only say daddy, doggy, kitty, ruff ruff, meow, moo, cow, and his favorite choo choo. Other than that he just points.
I have just been busy doing school, being a mother of 2 and watching my niece all of the time. Oh and cleaning up after the two kids and husband. My me time is late at night reading Harry Potter til I fall asleep which is usaully 5 pages after I start! That is what has been going on in a nutshell. Sorry so long the others should be shorter.
