Look what we did!

We have lived in Oklahoma for almost 2 1/2 years. We have had ice storms and tornados, but this is our first real snow. Mom says we got a foot of snow on Christmas Eve. It has been a lot of fun! Dad built us a snow mountain from all of the snow that he shoveled off of the sidewalks and driveway and he helped us build a really cool snowman. Daddy said that this is the first snowman he has ever made.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Merry

Mrs. Larson has really cool stuff. She has a radio, she has a camera, she also has a baking machine and she also has 19 kids in her class and I am one of the 19 kids in the class. My desk number is 15 and I just wanted to let you know I like you all and you guys are my best friends."

From Chase

I haven't been doing anything lately. I'm in band and I play the trombone. The first chair tryouts I got 1st chair. Switching classes is such a pain!!!! :( The school was under consruction during the summer; the workers didn't work barely at all. Now the school is still under construction, so in between 1st and 2nd hours I have to go all the way around the school to get to 2nd hour. Luckily they gave us 5 minutes for passing periods. Other than that school is great!!! :) I'm playing with my friends and playing outside. I'm having lots of fun. Love you and miss you.

Love,
Chase

P.S. (Here's a video of me playing "Go Wolves, Go" on my trombone.)

Belated Happy Birthday Chase!

Happy Birthday Chase!!! Hope you had a great birthday with lots of surprises!

Happy Fourth of July!

"This picture is of our Grandma and us smiling at the parade of Fourth of July. We saw ten or eleven clowns. I saw amazing Fung Fu Fighters. My Grandma had an umbrella if it rained. But it didn't rain. I wanted to tell you all that you are my bestest cousins. My sister and me and my brother. My big brother had to go to Colorado for a month. My sister and me are staying home. We are having fun and I hope you are having fun too. I am going swimming with my friend Mitchell today. I love you and I hope you all have a good day. I just love you all. Love,
Michael"

"I love you so much. Grandma thought it was going to rain, but it was a great day at the Fourth of July. My favorite part of the parade was the princesses. They were in cars and they were wearing crowns. We saw the two princesses at the chalk festival. They were at the parade too. The fireworks were too loud. But they were pretty. The clowns were pretty silly. The bicycle wheels were very big. The dancing was pretty good. I love you, Lauren"

Warning....

I'm going to be unleashing my group on the blog shortly. Be prepared..... be prepared.

I just love to leave sentences that sound ominous.

comments

We have not been able to leave comments on any of the entries. Is anyone else having this same problem?

Catching up after OH so long!

We haven't posted anything on our wonderful cousins site in such a long time. We are sorry!! We have been really busy with school and sports. Our last day of school was on Friday, except Lauren finished her preschool class a week before us. We went to two birthday parties today. Michael went to one at Bouncin' Craze and Lauren went to one at a swimming pool. They were fun. After dinner tonight we are going to go to the swimming pool in our neighborhood. It is a great place. We go there a bunch in the summertime. How is everybody else doing? We miss you all! Love, Chase, Michael and Lauren

hello everybody

Hello everybody.Is everything doing well?Just wanting to know if everything is well! love you all Livie

Croslin Easter Egg Hunting

Our week....

Elizabeth: I got to see Jade and play at McDonalds. We had a good time together. We played for three hours.

Bonnie: It takes an 1.5 hours to drive to Cook where me met them! It was worth the drive!

Carolyn's Poncho!

Carolyn: Mommy made me a special shirt and I love it and I want to keep it. I like wearing it and going for a walk with it and walk around the house.

I like the colors and it looks like a rainbow shirt!

Elizabeth: It was so sad waiting for the chalk boards to be ready to draw on. I like it too! I am having fun drawing on it!

Carolyn: I like chalk boards so much and I drawed on it so much and I want to color on it some more but I'm talking right now.

It's so much fun!

Bonnie: Now we still have to frame it in but the girls couldn't wait for daddy!

Hey everyone It's Chase

Hey guys!!!! It's Chase. Glad to hear from you all. I'm doing great. Just like Michael is, I'm playing baseball. I lost my 1st game but I have another game tonight. I'm playing for a team called The Bullets. I love Olivia's Webkinz. They're so cool! Love you everyone!!!!!!


Love,
Chase

Baseball!

from Michael: "I won the first game. We beat the Antlers. My team is called the Pirates. When you're on a baseball team, you have to try hard. The other team always tries hard too. I had a good day today. Today, I am going to play again. I'm playing the Garrison team. This team better get ready because they are going to face the Pirates. Pirates are pretty hard to play.

I loved that tiny cats picture. They were cute. Are they your real kittens?

How are you doing playing with the Transformers? Sometimes I like Transformers too. I have an airplane one, a tank one and a police corvette one. The airplane and tank are bad guys and the police is the good guy.

Your webkins are great. You have a lot. I haven't seen them yet. Well, have a nice day. Love, Michael."

Hi there!

Well hey guys!
Sorry it's taken me so long to get on here! School shows no mercy when you get to the point that I'm at. I think this blog was a great idea! It's an awesome way to stay in touch with each other considering that we don't all live on the same street or even in the same state for that matter! So how is everyone? I'm anxious to hear what's been going on! I posted this picture to experiment! Mocha or Latte anyone?
Kaitlyn

From Parker and Hunter to Michael

Hunter says,

I like Michael very much. He looked good in the convict costume. I'm in my house playing with my new toys. They are Transformers and I like them very much. I like swinging on the swings very much and I like the slide when I go outside to the park.

Parker says,

I really like you very, very much. And I like your costume. I like my toys and Michael. I like playing out back and I like the slide very much. I play in the sandbox with Hunter and the sand sifters.

Love Livie!!

From Kristina "Ninja!"

Hey Everyone! Life's going on and on these days. It's incredibly exciting! I have a 4.0 in school (Which by the way, I'm going for a gold medal at the end of the year. One of my new year resolutions.) I hope all is well in Texas, Oklahoma, Oregon, and Minnesota. It's raining today! I've been praying for rain for a very long time now and I'm glad to say that my wishes have finally come true! (All though I was showering when it rained. No one decided to tell me -_-) But alas, it's all good. I've been doing a lot of creativity in my cooking and photoshop work. COMPLETELY different subjects but they both are my hobbies. About a week ago when it was pi day I created a 2 layer brownie cake. I got the comments like "It looks like it came out of a bakery shop" and so on. I'm excited to say that I'd love to go farther into cooking than a simple hobby!

Well, gotta run!

Love ya'lls, Kristina

Hi everyone from Michael

"Thanks for all the cousin pictures. I just love it. I want to tell you what I did at the museum in Oklahoma today. I dressed up as a cowboy and a bad guy. When I dressed up like the bad guy, I was trying to steal money and hiding them in the Indian tent. About those pictures, I really like them. When I was a cowboy, I was like taking all the food and putting them in the jar in the spring. When I found the money, I stole it. But that was just pretend and costumes. I really had a good spring break. I am getting ready to go to my kindergarten on next Monday. School is so good. I love it. Can't wait to see more pictures from my cousins. Taylor is my biggest cousin. She lives in Texas. She has been there for the rest of her life. I went to Texas for four days. It is great. Grammie and PaPa are so great. I really love them so much. I even want to go there again soon. My cousin Parker was in my class. I miss him so much. Good thing is that I am writing him a message. All of my cousins are getting my message today. Just have a good day, that's all."

Carolyn says....

Aunties and Uncles, I am going to preschool now(this fall)! I really want to do something fun with you so come to ours house.

We like to do something with you and go to your house and lay there and go to little Kaitlyn's house and do all kinds of stuff and go to the coffee shop.... and say... I need a room for my puppet! And spend time together and go outside to play and color and play with the dogs around the house and play on the computer. And do all kinds of stuff and do something fantastic but I don't know what to say!

I love you Nei Nei and Bumpy...... Olivia, Jolie, Parker, Hunter, Kaitlyn, Kristina

These are the words of Carolyn!

From Olivia

Guess what? Easter is coming UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

!!OLIVIA!! -.O

This week!

With the addition of this blog to our group of daily check-ins I realized that it can be even more fun if each group has the ability to change the blogs appearance to suit themselves. So to make this more fun for everyone lets take turns dressing up the blog. This next week (Sunday) we'll start with Elizabeth and Carolyn. The next week (Sunday) will be Chase, Michael and Lauren's turn. The following week (Sunday) will be Olivia, Jolie, Parker and Hunter's turn, and the following weeks will be Taylor, Kristina and Kaitlyn. I think everyone gets the idea.

My group will really benefit from this experience in that their reading, writing and typing skills will be put to more use. Also they'll learn to use the computer more. I'm very excited about this and hope everyone else is also.

We're all anxious to hear about the latest soccer score, baseball game, artwork, chore that wasn't liked, walk around the neighborhood, etc.
Happy Blogging!

Welcome

Hi There,
This is an opportunity for all the cousin's to keep in touch and share what is going on in their space. I'm inviting all our children, no matter their age, to participate in this blog. Only our group will have this address so we're in no danger of outside participation. Though I'll keep an eye on the situation as I suspect you all will also.
