Cute Steven!!

We had so much fun for Thanksgiving! We got to see both families, and Steven got to have LOTS of love! Ready for Christmas already! He loves to smile more and more each day! With cousin, Karen With cousin, Emily

Fun Weekend

Friday night we got to see the LD Singers perform in Springville. It was a great time, and I wish I would've taken more pictures. I mean, I got to see Spitty, and lots of other friends. I did get to see Coach! He was so cute playing with our little man, I couldn't resist a picture. Saturday evening we got to go to the Provo Temple with Darrell's parents, while Aunt Sheri got to tend Steven. (I'm not sure who was more excited...me to go to the temple again, or aunt sheri to tend!) It was so much fun, and I am sure Darrell and I are such a dashing couple.

Halloween...was fun

Despite looking around, I could never find a costume for our little man that fit him, or my price range. Aunt Sheri insisted that we dress him up, so I copied her idea. With the help of a few cotton balls, our little man become "partly cloudy, with a chance of rain and snow." The rain came in the form of regular drool, and the snow came in not so regular anymore (Thank heavens) spit up. He was pretty cute, and had no idea what was going on. We did get free pizza at institute for the holiday...

You learn something new every day....

So, we went to this meeting the other night. Something about healthy chocolate...anyway. I saw a guy in the room, and he was talking, and I'm like, "He looks so familiar." Darrell said he looked kind of like Stephen Covey, my dad's mission president, but that wasn't quite it. I thought maybe Daddy Warbucks or something...then it hit me! He was the guy who played the Bishop on the Singles Ward movie. I felt so proud of myself.... Then they introduce the guy...turns out he's Wally Joyner...some famous baseball dude that played for the Angels and the San Diego Padres.. (I only pay enough attention to baseball to care that my team, the Red Sox, won the world series). I thought it was pretty cool, so I went up and talked to him after the meeting and had him sign a couple baseball cards for my nephews :)

We love the fall!

My Pumpkin for Halloween - Best pumpkin that I have ever carved ever! Darrell's depiction of Icabod Crane with a pumpkin head What the cooler weather has done to our roses..LOVE THEM! Even our plant is changing colors

The many faces of Steven

This kid LOVES his binki. Here, he fell asleep in the swing with his hand clasped on the binki. It was slowly sliding out of his mouth, but he still kept a good hold. Hi mom! Stick em up! Just Plain Cute and talking to dad You got it dude!

Cute little man

Thanks to Kiddie Kandids, we got some great cute pictures this week! Just hangin' out! Pouty face What's that? Happy guy! Makin' friends with Mr. Bear.

Excited for yet another BYU day!

I really am excited! See!! Mom's helping me out with the Touchdown arms Mom just wants to show off my cute smile... BYU Boys!

These parents never seem to lose their camera...

I am getting cute chubby cheeks! What did they do to me? I am a painter! I want this off my head!

Just an ordinary day...

Steven and I love to take walks through the cemetery when the weather is warm enough. It's beautiful and peaceful, and I just love it. It's hard being a stay-at-home mom....not :) And of course, I can't make a post without this cute kid :)

Go Cougars!

Thanks to Aunt Sheri, we're ready for tonight! Rise and Shout!

Interesting...

I even tried this with other pictures. They all came out with the same result!

So cute I can't stand it!

This is kind of long, but watching even a little bit may bring you joy!

"I wanna be just like you, dad. I wanna be just like you."

Darrell tried his glasses on Steven. It was pretty hilarious. I laid Steven on the bed the other day, and went to do something. I came back, and the boys were sleeping in the same position. So funny.

I LOVE bathtime...

He started to like bathtime, but then got cold. It got a little better when I put this cute little robe/towel on him.

So cute Steven

Steven has started smiling at us this week, and it's just so cute! Of course, when we tried to take a picture, the camera was simply slower than his smile. We hope to catch it one of these days! He's still way cute!

Yes, I've been tagged....

I’ve Been TAGGED!!Here’s how you play.Once you’ve been tagged, you have to write a blog with 10 weird, random things, facts, habits or goals about yourself. At the end, you choose 10 people to be tagged, listing their names and why you chose them to be tagged.. 1. I'm madly in love with my husband, Darrell John Cropper. We fell in love in the beautiful town of Ephraim, UT while attending Snow College, and were married in the Manti Utah Temple. 2. I'm obsessed with lighthouses and have a goal to see 50 in my life before I do. I do believe I'm up to about 15 or 16. This lighthouse is one that I saw back in New York along Lake Champlaign. 3. I LOVE Church History. I love to visit church history sites, I love to watch movies on church history, I love church history stories, and I love Nauvoo, IL. I just have a deep love and passion for church history. This picture is at the Peter Whitmere farm in New York. 4. I absolutely love to watch, and memorize the songs from musicals. I loved being in Musicals in high school. My favorite part that I ever played was Miss Adelaide in "Guys and Dolls." I'm not sure if it was the red wig, or the New York accent that made it my favorite. 5. I love photography, and was the yearbook editor in high school. Just recently I have really started loving black and white photos. They give such a neat feel, and even make pictures like this from 5th grade seem like a long time ago! 6. It's weird...but I tend to become really good friends with Red Heads. They are just so awesome! Leah Bishop, Brandi Higgins, Kacey Chidester, Kate Felt, and Susan Walton. RED POWER! 7. I did a 5K while I was pregnant with Steven. I only walked it, but I now have a goal to run the Race for the Cure 5K in the spring. I need to start training. I don't know if I will be able to run it, but I will for sure walk it! 8. I love getting flowers. It makes me feel so special, and I love the scent, especially of roses. It must be a girl thing... 9. My favorite TV show is "I Love Lucy." I used to watch it every night at 11:00 p.m. on KBYU before going to bed, or while doing homework. I now watch it during the day on TV Land. WOOT! 10. I am a true girl, and LOVE puffy dresses. I especially like ones that are puffy and have lots of sparkles on them. There is something special about the way you can feel in a poofy dress. I don't know of anyone that I tag right now, but keep posted!
