Although no pumpkin carving, or playing in piles of leaves we are feeling a bit "fallish" Yes...even here in Houston Texas!! After taking Gloria to school this morning, Davis and I went to the park. It must of been somewhere in the high 60's (which is considered cool for this time of year) and I actually wore a little coat!! I have to admit that I am one of those Texans that get cold if it's below 70 degrees and the wind is blowing! I think I'm going to have to pull out all of my fall decorations tomorrow! I'm such a sucker for the holidays...I already took the kids to get Halloween costumes too :) Gloria wanted to be Snow White this year! I think those Snow White slippers tipped her off at the last min. because for months she's wanted to dress up like "Master Tigress" from Kung Fu Panda! Davis will be "in character" as a lion...he's got the ROAR down to a science! I am yet to really dress up for Halloween since I've been married! I know....boring! I tried to get Danny to wear a Dracula cape our first Halloween that Gloria could toddle around (ya know just to be festive) and he totally shot it down!! Maybe if I think of something really good and not just some lame cape!
So, we are looking forward to a fun Fall! Our lastest happening has been Davis' 2nd birthday. We celebrated with a dinosaur party....he is such an awesome boy!! I also got to spend a week in Arkansas with Erin as she and Jared welcomed their second baby boy into their family, Grady Michael Spencer! Danny is doing great too...he "painfully" had to spend two weeks this month in Panama on a tropical island for work! We are looking forward to celebrating Gloria's 5th birthday in just a couple of weeks...I can't believe it!
Now, lets all go out and get some pumpkins!

Summer Adventures!


Every summer for the last five years we have been fortunate enough to spend about a month in Provo UT visiting Danny's family! I think this year goes down in history as the most fun-packed summer yet! We've enjoyed so many wonderful memories with family and friends in Provo, Logan, Park City, Yellowstone, and Bear Lake! Here are a few fun pix:
Davis' face as he steps into the cold water at Bridal Veil Falls...thank goodness for that waterproof cast!


Good-ol Bridal Veil! Such Good times
Danny and I chill'in outside the testing center (where I used to work) at BYU!
Two future cougars! It was so fun to walk around campus again...looks great.

Our trip to Yellowstone. We got to stay with some friends in a cabin on Island Park Res! Nothing like s'more and a Danny Cranney rock show! Well, not really a rock show just playing around
Gloria and the girls didn't seem to mind the cold water

Danny and Davis at "Old Faithful"
I thought this was such a cute pic

Of course we stopped by the candy shop on the way home!

Here we are at the Westgate Resort in Park City

Davis loves to play ball!

Danny and the kids had a great time...well Gloria did!

Running through puddles in Logan. I love when kids can just do fun kid stuff!
I just love all of Gloria's creative outfits that she picks out...so cute!

Gloria gets to participate at "the River" (a camp in down town Houston for kids with disabilities) every summer! It is a wonderful experience for her, and she makes lots of amazing friends! These were two awesome volunteers!

The BIG show at the end of their week at camp! So adorable

Happy Father's Day Danny!

Davis Loves reading time before bedtime! In June Davis Broke his foot!!! He had the cutest little cast on for a whole month. He is as good as new now!
