Dannys Play

Danny was in a little play at school called the Three Piggy Opera. He played the big bad wolf and he did such a great job. It is so fun to see him come out of his shell and just enjoy himself.

The Science Fair

Danny and Kayla both wanted to participate in the Science Fair this year. Kayla did her project on baking cookies at different temps and time. Danny did his on what freezes the fastest. It was alot of work, but they both got 1st place medals and they had fun doing the projects!

Spring break

This year we took the kids to Las Vegas for spring break. We stayed at the Riviera, and had lots of fun. We took the kids to the Hoover Dam, went into different hotels, swam at our hotel and just enjoyed spending time together as a family.

Baseball and Soccer Season

We had a fun year this year having Danny play Baseball (he is now in machine pitch) and Jenna loves soccer. It makes the spring really busy but it is fun!

We got snow!

Right before the kids went back to school Kayla was hoping for snow so that could prolong her vacation for an extra day, well her wish came true and we got snow. The kids were already up getting ready for school, so instead of going to school they went out and played in the snow. We ended up making a snowman and Mr. and Mrs. potato heads... I think the kids had a fun cold wet great day!

Joe and I have now been married for 10 years yesterday! It is amazing how time flies when you are having fun! I feel very blessed to have such an amazing man in my life!

Hallween!

It was a fun and easy halloween this year... Joe was Charlie Brown, I was snoopy, Kayla was Alex from Wizards of Waverly place, Danny was Dracula and Jenna was a pink bunny.. I think they had a fun halloween!

More fun summer stuff!

We had such a good time traveling the coast of california... it was probably our best family trip of all time!

What we did last summer!

We went on an amazing trip this last summer! Here are just some of the things we experienced

sorry it has been so long

We have done so much since I blogged last.... I really got out of the habit! I will come back and post and blog after the kids start school in just one more week. Kayla is going to be my big 3rd grader and Danny will be my big 1st grader! We have done some amazing things this summer and I will post them all soon!

More to come soon!

Sorry it has been so long since I have posted anything! I will be back and will update on what we as the Cranstons have been up too! We hope you have all enjoyed this season and I look forward to another fantastic year! So look forward to hearing from us soon!

Danny's spider turk!

Danny had to do a family project of decorating a turkey. We decided he should look an awful lot like Spiderman. I think he turned out cool, and Danny was so proud!

Our Halloween photos!

Joe's favorite holiday is Halloween so we usually try to dress up. This year we went with a bang. Joe was Jack Skellington, I was sally, Danny was Harry Potter, Kayla was a witch and Jenna was tinkerbell. I think we all looked great! Of course I am kind of bias! On friday we went to the schools harvest festival, many parents asked for pictures with their children ( I felt like I worked at Disneyland) and then on Saturday we went to the ward trunk or treat. The kids had a good time and got plenty of treats. On the whole I would say it was a successful Halloween!

Fall family trip

The first few days of Fall Break, we took the kids to Disneyland and stayed in the Marriot hotel. We had a great time, going on rides, seeing awesome characters and spending time in a fabulous hotel. I hope to do it again some day!

Jenna's first trip to the Dentist

Jenna went to the Dentist for the first time. She did awesome, she opened big and let the Dentist look at her teeth. She even got a Hannah Montana activity book. The best part she is cavity free!

The Cranston rock band!

One Sunday the kids found guitars, a drum and a microphone and created their own band. It was pretty hilarious because they didn't really play a song and it seemed that all they sung was made up! At least they had a good time and didn't fight during the concert!

Danny's goggles

I thought this was too cute not to post. Danny had received these googles for his birthday and we keep forget to get them out when they go swimming. Well before his bath tonight he decided he wanted to wear them in the bath tub. I could not resist taking a picture. The funniest part is that he could not use them, the water was so warm they kept fogging up the googles! He just cracks me up.

Danny's first award!

Danny received his first award at school on friday Sept. 18th. He looked pretty proud. I was so glad that I was there to take pictures. He was the teachers choice!

My gold medal

I ran my first 5K run on September 12. I was extremely nervous but thought I would give it my best shot. I ran faster than I have ever run and sure paid the sore price later. I came in first in my age category, finishing 6 overall. I was pretty happy and proud of such a accomplishment. I ran it in 26.01.

Jenna my bumble bee soccer player

This year we decided to put Jenna in soccer and so far it has gone okay. There are days when she wants to play and there are times when she acts really shy. It is pretty cute to see her running around and kicking the ball.
