My intention is to write about what is going on in the lives of my children so that they will have this for prosperity. I also have wanted to start writing and this seems like a safe place to do it. I will also post pictures from time to time.

I don't think anybody knows, but I have always wanted to write. I don't mean books or articles, but just little ditty's here and there about how I feel about what is going on in my life. It is almost like a diary. I used to write in a diary, but then my younger sister found out where I hid it and I stopped writing in it. <br /><br />I process information in my head by telling a story about what has happened and how I think it will end. This is my way of sorting things out. <br /><br />I got my idea to start blogging from Bruce's uncle George, whom, although we are only related by marriage, I consider my uncle as well as my inspiration for writing. I anxiously await every new post from uncle George to his blog. He is a seasoned writer and very good at it. Oh, to have that talent. Although, I would love to be able to one day write to that calibre, I will continue to post to my blog, now that I have started writing.The Crawfordshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15344909061829994987noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145449902242759482.post-71403383680386956202010-05-14T09:47:00.000-07:002010-05-14T10:40:59.089-07:00New Format to my blogI have changed the format of my blog. Originally I set it up to help promote my friends online scrap booking busines. She is no longer doing that and I hadn't posted to my blog in over a year. <br /><br /><br />Now I want to write about the day to day (or week to week) happenings of our life. It may not be that exciting to others, but it is a legacy I want to leave for my children, along with the scrapbooks I love to create.<br /><br />SallieThe Crawfordshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15344909061829994987noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145449902242759482.post-49037356204770995592009-11-03T19:31:00.000-08:002010-05-14T14:12:17.845-07:00It's been a whileIt's been a while since I have posted to this blog. In all honesty I forgot that I had it. It wasn't until my father in law asked me for some photos of the kids that I remembered itl. I am good at promising to send photos to him and bad at actually doing it. So, Brian, I am posting a BUNCH of pictures here for you.<div><br /></div><div>Enjoy!!!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>The Crawfordshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15344909061829994987noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145449902242759482.post-78250479959483703502008-05-19T11:33:00.000-07:002008-05-19T11:39:10.559-07:00Technology mmmI used to think technology was supposed to make our lives easier. NOT. The amount of time I have spent this last week dealing with "technical difficulties" I proably could have scrapped a whole album. Anyhow it looks like I am back up and running. I still have some stuff to add, but I will do that later today or early in the week. Anyhow, check back soon and I will add some photos. <br /><br />For those that are confused... I am still part of the design team until the end of the month. Check back next Friday to see the latest posts.<br /><br />Happy Holiday Monday<br /><br />SallieThe Crawfordshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15344909061829994987noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145449902242759482.post-92070999271633607302008-04-18T20:41:00.000-07:002008-04-18T20:52:01.763-07:00Bad blogger & birdsI have been a bad blogger. I have two friends who have blogs that I go to almost daily to see what wonderful stories they have written. I haven't been to my blog in..... over two months. I really am a bad blogger. I love havign a blog and love reading others. I am going to make a concentrated effort to update my blog a little more frequently.<br />So on that note here is my latest design team challenge for week 68. It is all about the birds this week. This is a picture of the kids at Seaworld in San Diego holding baby chicks that were born that morning, probably about 3-4 hours before the picture was taken.<br />We just happened to be in the right place at the right time (we were actually in the wrong place to see the show we wanted). I love that my children receive as much joy from holding baby chicks for a few minutes as they did seeing a whale show (which we did eventually see later and it was really good). My point is they weren't the least bit disappointed that we missed it the first time, because we had this wonderful experience that many park goers would have had.<br />Enjoy the photo and check back soon. I will blog again.<br />Cheers<br />Sallie<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PXJwqwAXLOg/SAlr-LFCfSI/AAAAAAAAAHU/Vnp3rG3q7lc/s1600-h/challenge+68.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190798761391193378" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PXJwqwAXLOg/SAlr-LFCfSI/AAAAAAAAAHU/Vnp3rG3q7lc/s320/challenge+68.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PXJwqwAXLOg/SAlr-bFCfTI/AAAAAAAAAHc/byj2tLewbEo/s1600-h/challenges+april+001.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190798765686160690" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PXJwqwAXLOg/SAlr-bFCfTI/AAAAAAAAAHc/byj2tLewbEo/s320/challenges+april+001.jpg" border="0" /></a>The Crawfordshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15344909061829994987noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145449902242759482.post-55365947145750210742008-01-12T18:07:00.000-08:002008-01-12T18:12:46.986-08:00my latest design team layout pages<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PXJwqwAXLOg/R4lzCgEs-zI/AAAAAAAAAG0/_DpwyMYjQ20/s1600-h/challenge+53.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5154777735308835634" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PXJwqwAXLOg/R4lzCgEs-zI/AAAAAAAAAG0/_DpwyMYjQ20/s320/challenge+53.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_PXJwqwAXLOg/R4lzDAEs-0I/AAAAAAAAAG8/cgqzKAp10bA/s1600-h/challenge+54.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5154777743898770242" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_PXJwqwAXLOg/R4lzDAEs-0I/AAAAAAAAAG8/cgqzKAp10bA/s320/challenge+54.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />These are my favorite pages to date. I know I say that everytime, but I really like them. I love the one of Gillian on her own. Although the day I finished it she was NOT "my angel" I could have put horns on the photo and it would have been appropriate that day. Anyhow, even on a bad day she will always be my little angel. <br /><br />I am getting my mojo back for scrapping after my long christmas break. I will post more layouts when they are done. <br /><br />Have a great Saturday!!!<br /><br />SallieThe Crawfordshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15344909061829994987noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145449902242759482.post-57799924470516700372008-01-05T20:30:00.001-08:002008-01-05T20:43:04.466-08:00Christmas photos<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_PXJwqwAXLOg/R4BaigEs-vI/AAAAAAAAAGU/djfy9yJayI0/s1600-h/christmas+eve+and+day+003.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152217522483559154" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_PXJwqwAXLOg/R4BaigEs-vI/AAAAAAAAAGU/djfy9yJayI0/s320/christmas+eve+and+day+003.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PXJwqwAXLOg/R4BajAEs-wI/AAAAAAAAAGc/BHXDHLBGf-g/s1600-h/christmas+eve+and+day+006.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152217531073493762" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PXJwqwAXLOg/R4BajAEs-wI/AAAAAAAAAGc/BHXDHLBGf-g/s320/christmas+eve+and+day+006.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_PXJwqwAXLOg/R4BajgEs-xI/AAAAAAAAAGk/J66Ht2xyY9Y/s1600-h/christmas+eve+and+day+012.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152217539663428370" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_PXJwqwAXLOg/R4BajgEs-xI/AAAAAAAAAGk/J66Ht2xyY9Y/s320/christmas+eve+and+day+012.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PXJwqwAXLOg/R4BakAEs-yI/AAAAAAAAAGs/e1Fm6cgcGx4/s1600-h/christmas+eve+and+day+007.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152217548253362978" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PXJwqwAXLOg/R4BakAEs-yI/AAAAAAAAAGs/e1Fm6cgcGx4/s320/christmas+eve+and+day+007.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Christmas morning at the Crawford's. </div><div> </div>The Crawfordshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15344909061829994987noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145449902242759482.post-70053176560174746602008-01-05T19:59:00.000-08:002008-01-05T20:06:44.712-08:00Happy New year<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PXJwqwAXLOg/R4BTWwEs-tI/AAAAAAAAAGE/KFiFUBFF6zg/s1600-h/week+49+%26+50+002.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152209624038701778" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PXJwqwAXLOg/R4BTWwEs-tI/AAAAAAAAAGE/KFiFUBFF6zg/s200/week+49+%26+50+002.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_PXJwqwAXLOg/R4BTXQEs-uI/AAAAAAAAAGM/dDyqmh7136M/s1600-h/week+49+%26+50+003.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152209632628636386" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_PXJwqwAXLOg/R4BTXQEs-uI/AAAAAAAAAGM/dDyqmh7136M/s200/week+49+%26+50+003.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>I have been a bit remiss in posting to my blog lately.

That means I have been a mommy for 11 years. Boy am I getting old. For me my children's birthday is also a time to reflect on how I am doing as a parent. I like to check in so to speak. The thing I am loving about this age is that G is so excited about everything, he loves beign around his family and friends and also loves doing solo activities. He is so smart and makes many wise cracks that I am constantly LMAO at. The thing i don' t like is that he is becoming so independant and often can do things on his own... in other words without my help. I know that this is part of life and part of the lifecycle, but it is very difficult sometimes to watch this little person that was so dependant on you, not needing you so much anymore. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Here are some photos of the birthday. All he wanted was a skateboard, " just like dad's"!!! We got him the parts and he and Bruce (dad) spent the afternoon putting it together and he lOVES it. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div>The Crawfordshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15344909061829994987noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145449902242759482.post-72149799530881017562007-10-31T21:26:00.000-07:002007-10-31T21:37:21.112-07:00Halloween<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_PXJwqwAXLOg/RylX8QxMc6I/AAAAAAAAAEI/Gkjsbg8bXDs/s1600-h/Halloween+007.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5127726343543092130" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_PXJwqwAXLOg/RylX8QxMc6I/AAAAAAAAAEI/Gkjsbg8bXDs/s320/Halloween+007.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PXJwqwAXLOg/RylX8wxMc7I/AAAAAAAAAEQ/QQzLIGFo_oI/s1600-h/Halloween+008.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5127726352133026738" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PXJwqwAXLOg/RylX8wxMc7I/AAAAAAAAAEQ/QQzLIGFo_oI/s320/Halloween+008.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PXJwqwAXLOg/RylXZwxMc3I/AAAAAAAAADw/OvTuZipPnsQ/s1600-h/Halloween.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5127725750837605234" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PXJwqwAXLOg/RylXZwxMc3I/AAAAAAAAADw/OvTuZipPnsQ/s320/Halloween.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_PXJwqwAXLOg/RylXaQxMc4I/AAAAAAAAAD4/7gUFFknZNfc/s1600-h/Halloween+003.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5127725759427539842" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_PXJwqwAXLOg/RylXaQxMc4I/AAAAAAAAAD4/7gUFFknZNfc/s320/Halloween+003.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />I don't think I need to say too much about these as the pic with all the candy pretty much says it all.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PXJwqwAXLOg/RylXagxMc5I/AAAAAAAAAEA/sLYa5Ouu7o8/s1600-h/Halloween+005.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5127725763722507154" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_PXJwqwAXLOg/RylXagxMc5I/AAAAAAAAAEA/sLYa5Ouu7o8/s320/Halloween+005.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><div></div>The Crawfordshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15344909061829994987noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145449902242759482.post-56348842967940665162007-09-20T18:20:00.000-07:002007-09-20T18:22:54.890-07:00Silly namesMy friend Vanessa sent this to me.

Our family loves the freedom of the summer, but we thrive on routine. Perhaps the summer is just the right amount of time for us to get the freedom we crave without taking away too much time from our "normal" life.<br /><br />Here are a few pictures of the kids on the first day of school. THis is the first, first day of school I have not been there. I was working at a different school, starting my new job. Bruce had to take the photos with specific instructions from me as to where they were to be taken and which one was portrait or landscape. What can I say, I like the consistancy in my album. So after much eye rolling and example sketches, he agreed to do as I asked. And he did, but he also got some goofy shots, which I never do. So now my pre planned layout is out the window, but I think with Bruce's photos it will be even better. It sure shows the kids personalities.<br /><br />He then took the kids to school and they were all fine and had a great time. Nobody said anything about missing me or it not being the same. I guess that is good. It means the kids are well adjusted and open for change. The problem is me, I am not so well adjusted and don't like not being able to do the big milestones with my kids. Oh, the joys of watching your children grow up!!!!!<br /><br />Happy first week of school.<br /><br /><br />(having issues with photos, will add them later when I can figure it out)</div>The Crawfordshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15344909061829994987noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145449902242759482.post-71774165969491877432007-08-18T12:47:00.000-07:002007-08-18T12:53:36.623-07:00Computer withdrawalWe have been so busy this summer that we have only been home for 7 days since the kids got out of school. Because of this I have been negelectful with posts on my blog. I think I am having computer withdrawal. I had over 300 emails (including spam) when I checked my email last time. <br /><br />I have managed to get some scrapping done and of course taken a bunch of photos I am looking forward to scrapping in the fall. I am making some progress on my previous albums and am trying to stay as up to date as possible for 2007. <br /><br />Anyway, as summer is winding up, we are trying to squeeze as much freedom as possible out of it. I will likely be away from the computer until the end of the month and then back on track with scrapping and posts.<br /><br />Enjoy the last of your summer vacation!!!<br /><br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />SallieThe Crawfordshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15344909061829994987noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145449902242759482.post-27509679077959951672007-07-22T12:39:00.000-07:002007-07-22T12:53:59.208-07:00Harry Potter Junkie<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PXJwqwAXLOg/RqO0LY1gKMI/AAAAAAAAAAM/vsYLOtPvqf4/s1600-h/graeme+reading+the+new+Harry+Potter.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5090110111597209794" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PXJwqwAXLOg/RqO0LY1gKMI/AAAAAAAAAAM/vsYLOtPvqf4/s320/graeme+reading+the+new+Harry+Potter.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Here is a photo of my son Graeme, reading the very anticiapted Harry Potter book. Grandma ordered the book months ago and made sure that it would be delivered on the first day. Graeme really wanted to be at Grandma & Grandpa's when the book arrived, so he gave up several days camping to be there. He has already read over 100 pages after only having the book a few hours. Pretty good for 10. Needless to say we are waiting for the last two movies and are hoping that maybe there just might be, one more HP book.<br /><br />Have a great day</div>The Crawfordshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15344909061829994987noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145449902242759482.post-90184119572985791372007-07-21T13:12:00.001-07:002007-07-21T13:15:24.479-07:00Down and DirtyJust got back from camping in the rain and boy did we get dirty. I have never had a shower that felt so good. There must have been a ton of dirt in the bottom. Now that I have myself somewhat clean ( i think i will have a bath tonight to get rid of excess grime), I have the pleasure of doing a *%$# load of laudry. The ultimate question though is did we have fun.....YES absolutley. So much so that we are going again on Monday for another few weeks. I will post another coment then and perhaps a few pictures too. So if your water levels are down it is because I am hoging it all today.<br /><br />CheersThe Crawfordshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15344909061829994987noreply@blogger.com0
