Why I love my husband...

Because he is such a dork! Which always makes me laugh:)

I told him to hold up his present because it was wrapped so cute

Unwrapping his pink & green paper vigorously

So cheesy!

Happy birthday babe!

My dearest husband turned 24 today! We went to the good ol' Texas Roadhouse with our friends Mika & Briana for dinner to celebrate (see pic below)

Pajama day at Ben's work

University of Phoenix randomly has "spirit weeks" for their employees (kind of like Homecoming week in high school). Anyways, the most spirited team wins, so for pajama day Ben's team made a "fort" lol. Silly kids.

And the missionary returns...

Joel came home last Sunday. It was so neat to see him. I bawled when I saw him; heck, we all bawled! It was quite the event at the airport...we found out we were waiting at the wrong terminal like ten minutes before he landed! So all 30 of us were bookin' to the next terminal (put gramma in the wheel chair and headed out!) I am sure it quite the spectacle seeing that long line of people running down the road. lol. But we ended up gettin' there in time. It was great...he is now living in SJ with the parents for the rest of the summer and he will be living with us during the school year while attending ASU. You can tell he became very accustomed to the mexican culture...lets just say he was talking in spanish, watching spanish soap operas, and jammin out to mexican music. Silly boy. Here are some pics!

The family waitin' and waitin' (we arrived entirely too early)...I was pacing haha

These escalators were SO long! We were racing up and down them:) Do you like Austin's facial expression? lol

The little boys all dressed up "like Joel"...so adorable! Don't you just love Tanner?!

Check us out! We were quite the site at the airport

I love this pic...there was an incline where he came out so all the little cousins were ducking down to look for him. Kinley's facial expression is priceless:)

Lots of hugs:)

The boys

The girls

The parents(blurry)

Joel & David

Welcome home bro!

Three posts in one night!

It's a record! (see below:) Plus, Joel came home tonight, so those pics are to come! I would've posted those tonight but I am exhausted. Life is crazy busy for us with work, school, and play:) I feel like I hardly ever have time to even breathe but I love it! Bring on the summer baby!

The 2009 Crosby Reunion was at Lyman Lake this year. It always seems so short but we had a good time...waterskiing, wakeboarding, riding the jetski and pontoon boat, eating, and camping! Here are a few pics...

Ok - I couldn't ever get a pic of the whole thing but the sub sandwich was HUGE!

Ben loves our new jetski:)

Hope and Kendra posing on my dad's new pontoon boat!

This is the best pic I got of great-gramma:)

Happy Birthday Alissa & Mom!

Last week my mom, Alissa, and Jacy came down to the valley to do some shopping and to go to the Dbacks game (my dad bought tickets for Alissa's bday). Anywho, Liss's bday is on the 10th and my mom's is on the 11th so they were both at my house on their birthdays:) Alissa turned the sweet 16 and my mom turned 29:-) Here a few pics from the game...

Liss is such a dork! Notice their little crowns lol

Cuties

Cold stone!

Weekend Trip to Roosevelt

A couple weekends ago Ben & I made a quick trip up to Roosevelt to camp for a night and hang out at the lake all day Saturday with Chris & Bailey. I forgot to take pics but it sure was fun! We want to do it again:) hint hint
