Crosby Sibling FUN in Tucson, AZ

Over the weekend March 1st & 2nd, we were in Tucson, AZ with LaVerl's siblings. Dave & Mary came from Las Vegas. J'net & Bryan and Rick and Paula came together from Mesa, AZ. We came from Eagar, AZ.
We all met at the Tucson Temple at 10:30.
LaVerl's sister J'net & Bryan
 Dave (the oldest brother) & Mary
Youngest brother Rick & Paula

Afterwards we ate at BK Tacos & Hotdogs!
 Rested up at the motel then dinner and the Gaslight Theatre!
We saw "The Belle of Tombstone" and it was a hoot!

 All the music and sound effects come from the piano, the bass guitar and drums!
 Saturday morning we just hung out at the motel and played games.
 We had one last meal together, then all headed home!
 We had a good family meeting, visited and enjoyed playing together! It was a good weekend!
 

LATE FEBRUARY!! Gone and almost forgotten!!

Yes, February is definitely a short month! It came and went so fast that I almost forgot to post about all the important events! 
I went to watch Bret's kids, I thought for a week but it only turned out to be a few days. I got to spend time with Lisa's kiddos too. 
Feb. 10-13th
Cute Lilly, Lucy and Landon
 
Ivory and Lilly play so cute together!
When I got home....
It was Thursday, Valentine's Day. We went to the Stake Valentine's Dinner and had Prime Rib. Instead of flowers, LaVerl bought me some new plants for my inside planter!

Feb. 19th!  London's birthday. She turned 10!! 
(It was also Kirk's birthday!)

Feb. 20th  # 6 birthday for Colter! He wanted the same cake and birthday party that Blake had! Look at that cake, I can't blame him!

I took my little cub scouts to the El Rio Theatre. They were supposed to visit an historical site and we have the oldest theatre in Arizona right here in Eagar. It was built in 1915!

Feb. 22nd, 2019 
The biggest SNOW storm of the century!!
We got about 14 inches, but Flagstaff got over 40 inches, the record was 31 inches back in 1915? It was so beautiful!!

 We couldn't see the tops of our solar lights or our
railroad ties in our walkway.

 Feb. 26th Landon Ray Keime turned 1 year old!! Lisa had so much fun throwing him a 'camping' birthday party!

Feb. 26th is also our oldest grandchild's birthday!
Kaemon is 14!!
And the next day, Feb. 27th is his sister's birthday!
Milea is 12!!

Feb.27th we had our Cub Scout Blue and Gold Banquet.
We kept it simple this year, I just decorated in blue & gold and made a few table centerpieces.

January 2019

Well January is almost gone and I haven't posted any pictures of what's happened this past month. After the Christmas holidays we still had some kids home. Tami's family and Lisa's family were here. We still had lots of snow to play in! 
Blake, Elijah and Rivers!
They had to take turns sledding, but riding in the RZR was fun too!
 Tami having fun sledding!
  The 4-wheeler stopped working so Gpa got out the RZR!
 Once Leo decided to sled, he didn't want to get off!
Colter loved eating the snow!! 
After sledding all day, Snowman pizza is a must!
I was trying to get a picture of their cute Christmas jammies, but Adlee was reading to roll!  

We went to El Paso on the 24th of January to finish up Mark's Big project!! LaVerl and Mark worked hard to get everything done in the 2 days we were there! They hung all these lights that are over his workout area. (see the climbing rope?) There will be a rock climbing wall, lots of weights, and the floor will be a nice mat. He wanted the big garage door there so he could open it up when he works out!
 
He also put in a little kitchen so he can make his smoothies and breakfasts if he wants, and the door is to a little bathroom with a nice shower! The hot water heater is inside that hole (that will have a cover when they finish) 
Holly wanted all these nice shelves so they can move all the stuff from the garage in here.  Mark had sewer and water lines put in so they can park their trailer in here and have it all set up.
 
Next to the shelves he's putting his work bench and will have a peg board to put all his tools.
Two huge garage doors. The little door leads to their food storage room that has an air-conditioner going in to it.  
  
They got all the outside lights up too.
 
The building is really cool, but the outside is AWESOME!
He's putting in a soccer/football field, and a basketball court!
When the court is done it will have some kind of rubber mat with the markings on it. 
He's putting up this netting around the field and the court because all this in on top of a big hill. 
    
These are the lights (above) that he had to rent a big bucket lift to 
be able to mount them on the really tall poles!  

 The sod for the field is supposed to come in February, so we may be going back to help lay that!
 They were finally finished about noon on Saturday, so Mark took us all to lunch and Boss Chicken!  Way yummy!
 I didn't get a picture of Mark, Holly and us going to a dinner theater at UTEP on Friday night. We got to see the musical 'Newsies'! Our 42nd wedding anniversary was Jan. 21st, so this was kind of celebrating that!
