It's November!

It's November!!! and my turn to host cooking group!

As many of you know I am not much of a cook so it only seemed more appropriate to do table settings, appetizers and DRINKS...hello I am very good at drinks! I talked about all the ways to "set" a table, and the difference between a formal table and a casual table. I've posted some pics, and a special thanks to Payton and Marley for taking great pictures of our fun night!

Fall is here! I think:)

The girls are back in school and the holiday season is just around the corner. We are trying to squeeze every last bit of summer out of our weekends... The Alpine Slide was a great Saturday get a way and we found out that Shelby is a bit of a baby:) Most Saturday mornings Payton and I visit the farmers market and the library, and then spend the afternoon looking at our books. (looking instead of reading because we both prefer books with lots of pictures) Today we drove up the canyon and had lunch at Sundance (my favorite mountain spot), the leaves are beautiful and it's so nice and cool. We are looking forward to new memories in our new house and we will continue to share them here!

Payton the Violinist!

Payton was chosen for 1st chair for the end of the year concert...Her piece that won her the spot, Think of me (Phantom of the Opera). She has really become a amazing violin player this past year:) We gave her a violin for her birthday... she continues to play, and she practices constantly.

Our New Home

We Have Moved!!!! Our new home is in Day Break, (South Jordan). After 3 long years with an hour long commute twice a day...it was time to move closer and spend that precious time with my girls. Here are some pics of our new pad, we are planning a party....details to come.

New Year New Beginings

I have been a bit busy the last few months of this year and blogging has fallen to the bottom of the list, don't feel bad so has emails and phone calls that don't involve work. But I am coming back! This new year I will do my best to give you great pics, great stories and our lives day to day:)

We hope for nothing but love and happiness for everyone in this new year!

We love you all,

The Crockett Family

Amy Dewalds Surprise Shower

Mary Ellen (my neighbor) and I threw a baby shower for my other neighbor Amy... It was a fun surprise! She is doing Owls for Elizabeth (the baby in her tummy:) and Mary Ellen found the cutest cake to set the mood! All of Amy's family and friends were contacted (they are military so none of them live here) and they all sent gifts! We had so much fun...and now we wait for Elizabeth to arrive:)
