Graduation in Louisville!

We just came back from Louisville, KY where Will was hooded for his masters of Divinity in Missions, Evangelism and Church Growth! We had a great time while there, we saw our friends and were able to show Will's family around Louisville. Liam took his first plane ride and did GREAT! Here are some of our pictures from our adventure:

The Crums at the races

Watching the races. do you see the rainbow?

You know, there was a rainbow the day that we moved to Louisville. It seems to be my reminder that God is good and always keeps his promises. In the Bible it says that the Lord is never sleeping Jehovah is always watching out for you. He knows what is next and will be faithful to complete the work He has started in us. (Yes, I got all of that from a rainbow!)

Go go go...

Spring and Easter Pictures

So I know it has been a while, but when your child starts crawling you forget you have a computer. Here are some pictures from the last month and a half. Easter was great. We have been super busy here is a peek at what we have been up to:

Aunt Emily and Uncle Barrett in town

Everybody at Nicole's

Granny and The Bevers were in town!

Welcome to the Blog Grandma!

So my grandma has never been able to see the blog. My mom is going to Florida to visit. She said that she was going to check Grandma's computer to see why she couldn't view the blog. I thought I would welcome Grandma to the blog.

Hello to the Ladies in Florida! I wish I was there to enjoy the sun with you. Grandma I am glad you can finally see the blog. (Hopefully) Liam loved his Valentines Bib, And had a great time with you over Christmas. Enjoy the blog and look around, I bet you will see yourself in here.

Love you all!

A Liam wave

A big Kiss to ya!

I hope we can see you again soon.

Bevers visit, cousins and new teeth

Aunt Stacey, James and Gary just left. We had a great time with them, we miss you Uncle Beau! Also, Liam has recently grown a few teeth. We are not sleeping anymore either. Here are a few random pictures from Stacey's visit and funny shots of Liam adjusting with his new teeth.

Out to dinner at Fire Side Pies... notice the drool
Drools Mcgee

Our little Michael Jordan

He puts everything in his mouth even the couch

Pops and James went fishing Saturday and brought back lunch. Chef Pops and Su Chef James are fryin' up the catch of the day.

Liam is making a very important point. He is taking after his dad. This is exactly what Will does when he speaks in front of people.

Granny came to visit while Stacey and the kids were in town, we were so glad she could join us.

Tongue

Concentrating!

Can you see my 2 teeth? This is how Liam sucks his thumb, he fish hooks himself.

James wanted to hold Liam. Liam was looking up at Cuz. How sweet. Look at Liams feet.

A little out side time during cousin's nap

Everything in the mouth... even the glasses

At least the teether is supposed to be in the mouth.

"Laces out Dan!"

MMMM pig skin!

Gary Chatting with Liam "Hey that used to be my walker!"

Liam- "See I sucked on it until it was soaked... you want some?"...

..."No? Okay, more for me then."

Liam was very patient while we ate dinner outside.

I had to throw this in here because this face is ALL me.

He look so collegate in his sweatshirt and collard shirt.

The backwards thumb suck

I think he is getting use to the new teeth, just in time for his third one to arrive (it is a top tooth)

Dallas Blooms!

Welcome to the Arboretum, Dallas blooms! We had a great time on Monday strolling around the beautiful gardens. It was so beautiful.

My first time in the umbrella stroller. What a big boy!

James and Wes were excited to run around


A quick snap of all the boys

Spring time is here!

I loved those white tulips!

...So did Liam. He picked up a yummy leaf. (don't worry I took it away before he ate it.)

Stacey and Gary playing in the green grass.

Beautiful tulips and a happy baby, could it get any better?

I got the stiff arm... is that a sign of things to come? mommy kisses, yuck.

Oh, so cool!

Green

I loved the colors so I plopped him down in front of the flower bed.

My turn to use the camera

Sisters in the garden

Daffodils

Mommy is a photographer... easy subject.



There was a light breeze, this is Liam's breeze face he was also getting sleepy

The Hyacinth were so fragrant

A quick game of airplane before...

GAME OVER!

On the car ride home Liam was awake and perky and Gary was out.

We had a great day, I hope we can go back soon.

Daddy's tools and Funny Liam

The other day I was cooking in the kitchen and Liam was in the walker. He walked himself into the laundry room and around the corner toward Will's tools. He reached for them but was stuck at the door. He can't wait to fix things with daddy. When I took his picture he bent over backwards to smile.

Toy basket. Before we set up the china hutch and put the toys in it, I had the toys in a basket. Liam would roll straight for the basket to find out what was in it. I snapped this shot right when he dumped over the toys.
Silly Liam! We love you!

Excer-saucer from the Chattertons!

The Chattertons gave us this awesome exer-saucer and Liam LOVES it!

He has a great time with all of the toys.

So many toys!

I can play with two at a time... if I look over here and spin this over there.

huh?

I'm having so much fun! Thanks Chattertons!
