Spider Web Candy Walk
Ammon had a so much fun at his friend Birthday Party. They played spider web candy walk, pin the tail on Eeyore (thanks Kris), ate cake and ice cream, opened presents, and were silly and crazy. Thanks to everyone who came! Thanks Chandra for helping out~


Ammons "5" Birthday

Ammon turned 5 on November 18Th. This was party #2 for Ammon. He had been counting down the days to his b-day for over a month. He would ask me almost every day "Mom, is my birthday the day after tomorrow?" It seems like I had to tell him it was still a month a way a dozen times. So he was sooooo excited when his special day had finally come. Happy Birthday little Bud, we love you!














Mekelle's haircut

Kelle wanted me to TRIM her hair and take her picture before her little trim. As I started cutting Mekelle kept telling me to cut more....and more.....and even more. So what started as just a trim, turned into quite the hair cut. We ended up cutting about 7 inches. Last time Mekelles hair was this short she was 4. I have to say it I think it turned out really cute and Mekelle really likes it too.

Crowton girls

This was the first time Carly kept a bow in her hair for more than 5 seconds. It was definitely a picture moment. Carly has a mind of her own! she doesn't like shoes or socks and she will pull them of right after you put them on and say owwee foot. She doesn't like anything in her hair or on her head, no hats, no bows, no piggy tails, nothing. We are so happy to have one bow picture.

Life with Carly.......you gota love it!

Carly was so excited to show everyone her new trick she discovered. She brought us into the bathroom and made sure we were all watching. "look ma ma, look Telle (Mekelle), Tenly (Kenley)......Ammon......look" 1........2.......3........weeeee!!!! Carly showed us her monkey trick. She was so proud. She is so funny!

Hawaiian Dancing at the State Fair

Mekelle has been taking dance from my mom for 2 yrs, she is so graceful and seems to catch on very quick.
This is at the SLC State fair.

Carly... Our big Cheese!
Another side view, it must be getting late! This is Kenley and Mekelle on their first day of school. They started school at a brand new elementary, Buffalo Point. The school was not finished in time to start when the rest of the schools started so the girls got a couple of extra weeks of Summer vacation.
Mekelle is now in 3rd grade, and kenley has advanced to all day school in 1st grade. Her favorite part is getting to eat school lunch.
Carly only wanted to sit with Grandma and Grandpa.
Shane, Ammon, and Kenley

Enjoying the great out doors with G-ma and G-pa

Our family went up to our Stake Camp grounds in Morgan with my mom and dad and Chandra and her family. We had a lot of fun roasting Marshmallows for our smor's and cooking our hot dogs over the fire. It is such a beautiful place, and so peaceful. There is nothing like being outside under the stars up in the mountains.

Baby # 5

If you don't know already, we are expecting our #5 baby. This came to us as quite a surprise, as it was not the plan for any time soon. Now that the shock has warn off and we know it is really happening we are thrilled beyond belief............actually that is Ammon who is thrilled beyond belief. Ammon prays every night that Heavenly Father will send him two baby brothers. He is soooo excited that he still has one more chance for another boy in the house. The girls are excited too but they are a little concerned that I have to stay a few days in the hospital when the baby is born. This pregnancy has been much different then the rest. I started showing very quickly and the morning sickness didn't just happen in the morning. It knocked me out for a good month and a half. I am excited to be feeling well again. Wow, another baby! We really are truly blessed!

Preschool Field Trip 10/07/08

Wow, It has been a while. I have had many requests to actually add something to my blog once in a while. I decided I need to take blogging 101, maybe that would help.



Today Ammon and I went on a field trip with his preschool to the Fire station and to a farm. We had a lot of fun. Ammon has been so excited about it for days and talked about it all day long. At the Farm we got to go on a hayride, go through a corn maze, see the animals, pick a pumpkin, smell and take home a freshly picked onion and carrot, and play on a lot of farm fun play toys.



I love that I am able to take time out to go on field trips with my kid and enjoy their special moments.

Let The Games Begin!.....and the blogging too.

Shelena wanted a place to post things about family and friends, pictures, etc. Therefore, in conjunction with the opening of the 2008 Summer Olympics in China, we are celebrating an opening ceremony of our own with the creation of this new blog especially for her! This is now the official site of the Shane & Shelena Crowton Family.



Well, I guess we should start with some fireworks and the family parade. Okay...hold on just a minute while I light this sparkler....ouch!, oh, there we go. Ooooh, aawwwww!! Alright, on to the parade. Wow, the crowd is pretty loud.....oh sorry, it's just the dogs. There's actually not as many people here as I had anticipated. I'm sorry to say that I'm here all alone. Shelena and the kids decided to stay the night at the home of her sister, Alicha. So, that leaves me to carry on the festivities....ah, just a second, the neighbor is coming out. "Hi, how you doin'? Thank you so much for your support! I'm goin' for the gold, baby!!"



Hmmm, that was kind of awkward. They didn't seem too supportive. I guess a man wearing a Speedo isn't a common occurrence in this neighborhood. Well, thank you all so much for visiting. Please come again soon, and because you are so supportive let me get you a little something. Hey waiter, could I get a couple of ice waters over here!



Later!!!
