Hailey - Halloween - Hilarious

It seems we've started our hibernation early this year with no post in four weeks. I guess better four weeks than four months. In order to get caught up, we need to show some pictures of recent events, starting with the most recent:

Sometimes, it's too funny not to share. . .

Sometimes pictures are too funny and or cute - not to share. Here are a few of the kids in funny poses. . . .
Thomas likes to dress himself. . .





Trevor does too. . .(the pants literally go half way up his leg)






Thomas and Tylee love to make milk bubbles. . .




Tylee helps put away dishes before breakfast. . .





Then she eats. . .





Finally she is ready to go out to play. . . well almost.





And, NO, he has never been to Disneyland but can you say DOPEY?




Todd is such a nice brother, he always lets Thomas and Tylee sleep with him. (Hey, beats crowding our bed.)


Alas, this is our post. :-)

Gardner Villiage








When we were down in Salt Lake City for Chris' reunion, we made a quick visit to Gardner Village. Gardner Village contains the outlines of the once bustling early Utah mill industry and history. What remains today is a cluster of retail specialty shops located in restored cabins, houses and buildings nestled adjacent to the Gardner Mill. The shops are decorated thematically by season. The kids had a ton of fun, especially in the candy shop. Enjoy the pictures.

Mission Reunion

October=football and mission reunions

October has been a fun month for us so far, with Todd full swing into football we have all enjoyed watching him grow in his ability to play and also for his love of the sport, he loves going to practice and has enjoyed pushing his opposing player around.
We also had the opportunity to attend dads Mission reunion which was the first one in 16 years. it was not heavily attended but his mission president and a few of his friends were there and the kids all had a good time playing with others their age. Here are a few pictures to share with you all.

Summer Activities







We have had a TON of FUN this Summer!!!!! With lots of Activities we have been very busy and are just now getting the last week of fun behind us. With trips to Lagoon, Fishing and Camping, Visits from Cousins, Birthday parties and Todd's baptism our Summer has been great and we have enjoyed most every minute of it. We especially enjoyed the Las Vegas Cranors spending 2 weeks here in Pocatello and then Camping in Island Park with them.




We are really blessed to have such wonderful family who support each other. These are just a few pictures that show a little of how summer went.

What It Means to Be an American Patriot
















Well Congratulations needs to go out to our American Patriot.... Todd.

Earlier this Semester Todd entered an Essay at School sponsored by the Lions Club. We got a phone call in Late March letting us know that His Essay took 1st place.


In April we received a phone call that his essay won out of all Second grades in Idaho and Oregon. Needless to Say we were very proud and excited for him. We kept it all a secret from him until a week ago when we threw a surprise party letting him know that he had won.

We were invited to attend an Awards ceremony in Sun Valley, Idaho where he was honored for his essay. Along with a few certificates, he received a $100 savings bond.

His Family was invited to attend and so Grandma Eckenroed and Grandpa and Grandma Cranor along with Mom and Dad all made the trip to support him.

Congratulations Todd!!
