More help!!

We had lots of help from Nicc's sister, Amy, and her family last weekend on our house! Clint was able to help Nicc while the Davin was able to play with his cousins--so all in all we were all taken care of. They were able to get almost 3/4 of the house sided! We were even able to squeeze in a little fun! From the look of the pictures you would guess all we did was play, however, I promise you those guys worked like crazy!

How long can you stand in the cold water?






Roasting starbursts!



Yes, even Davin joined in on the nail polish party! His nails are not, nor have they ever been! He just liked to tell us all what color we should use!


Randon and Davin found this great, huge dragon fly!


Painting any and every scrap of wood they could find!

This was Davin's first attempt at roasting his own marshmallow! He did pretty good but it was in flames in about 3 seconds! He started swinging it right away until we convinced him to blow on it to put it out!

Fair week!

We got home just in time to enjoy some of the Lincoln County fair excitement. We started it all with the parade and demolition derby. Davin enjoyed it much more this year, he was cheering the cars on and loved it when they crashed! Last year he was so concerned! He also really enjoyed the motocross and the 4-wheeler race--he cheered especially loud for those hitting the balloons off of the passenger helmets!

Later in the week we hit up the carnival rides and he had a blast. His very favorite was the one you crawl through and then slide down a big slide at the end! A first at the fair was a glow stick! He loved it and slept with it that night. The sad part was when he woke up the next morning he was quite disappointed at it's lack of light (even in the dark bathroom).

He had fun looking at the pigs, chickens, and bunnies too. Until, after a while I think he got bored because he took off and we found him outside the chicken house walking up and down the sidewalk singing, "Bubble gum. Bubble gum. Bubble gum for me!" What a funny kid!

Second Stop: Lovell

The second stop in our reunion road trip was Lovell for a family reunion with ALL of Nicc's family! It was the first time in several years that ALL of Nicc's family has been together at the same time! We had fun and Davin enjoyed lots of time with his cousins--as long as he wasn't too tired!
Davin and Caira had a good time dancing together! They also had a nice little tea party!
It was kind of cool the whole time we were in Lovell so we were not able to make it to the kiddie pool but instead ALL of the kids, big and little went to the public pool. We had a good time and I think the pool was half full of Crosbys!

We also did the usual and went to slide rock for a weenie roast! Everyone has tons of fun out there--either sliding, climbing, carving, or eating! No matter what it is fun! Funny part was we went out early in the day to avoid the evening storm and it was very hot that day! Almost too hot to stand close to the fire to roast a dog!

Davin and Amanda sliding!

Davin decided to go with Pat and Jeff to go cow tipping! They didn't make it too far before turning back!

You can't really see our names in the picture but all of them are there!

Chillin' back at grandma and grandpa's house!

4-wheeler rides with grandpa!

We also enjoyed a trip to Billings to go shopping for the day and go to the temple, the boys enjoyed a couple mornings of golf, and of course just playing, playing, playing! It was a fun week but we were pooped at the end of it!

Davin crashed on the way home and took extra naps for several days trying to catch up! Fun times!
