Northrop Grumman

We received a job offer from Northrop Grumman in Denver Colorado. We are excited about the opportunity to move to Denver, assuming I am not a spy and don't do drugs. This opportunity has been made possible by our good friend Nate, who has worked some angles for us in Denver. Thanks Nate.

Drake Alvin Crockett

Born: Monday August 31st at 3:57 PM (39 Weeks)
Weight: 8 lbs 15 oz
Length: 21.25 in
Labor: 10 hours, no epidural, lots of meconium but no aspiration, phew
Drake latched right out of the womb and is a great nurser.
David had to have an emergency "floor sit" because he wouldn't have made it to a chair, but overall kept his composure very well.

The Proud Pooper!

Carson went poo in the potty for the first time on Sunday! He got a big treat (ice cream) and, as you can see, is very proud.

Pregnant Pictures

A Sister in the Ward wanted to take some pregnant pictures of Mel for her portfolio. These pictures were taken at 34 and a half weeks.

Carson

Carson is a busy boy lately, and he's growing up so fast.

He's sleeping in a big boy bed.



He's playing with the little boy crib bumper pads.

He's feeding the ducks and geese.

He's building blanket forts with Daddy.

And most important of all... He's getting ready to become a big brother to little Drake. We love Carson so very much. He is such a joy in our lives.

Yellowstone

Enjoy some pictures from our trip to Yellowstone.

Who gave David the camera?


Carson loved running along the wooden walkways. He would put his head down and take off full speed.

Carson's New Pajamas

Carson wasn't sure what to think at first...

...maybe it's because he was worried about spontaneously combusting.

Carson LOVES his daddy. This picture was candid, NOT posed at all. They are two peas in a pod.
