The Animal Park

We went to Logan over this last weekend to spend time with Layne's family. It was such a gorgeous weekend that we spent most of it outside. We went to a little animal park that had lots of birds and ducks. Julia gets so excited and doesn't want to miss out on anything. We even saw some wolves and she went crazy. She loves dogs and every time she sees one she gets so excited.


We went over to the playground next to let the kids run around for awhile. Julia had her 1st ride on a swing and got a BIG push from Grandpa. Grandma had to come the rescuse and slow things down a bit but Julia loved it. Its so fun to see Julia explore the world around her.
We are new to this whole thing but thougth we would give it a try!! We are the Cromwell's, Layne, Karrie, and Julia! A little bit about us to start.......we currently live in Eagle Mountain (The Ranches to be exact) and it is approaching one year since we moved out here. We love it! A great community that still seems like it gets you away from the hussle and bussle of life!

Layne: Goes by the nickname of Leno to friends (and some of his family). Originally from Preston, Idaho (home of Napoleon Dynamite). And is one of the biggest sports nuts I know! Favorite teams include: Duke, San Fransisco 49er's and Giants, and of course BYU and the Jazz. He is gearing up for the NBA playoff's. He currently works for Advance Insurance, in Orem and is working on getting his insurance licenses. He is quite a funny guy and keeps Julia and I laughing!!

Karrie: Originally from Michigan! GO BLUE! Graduated from BYU in Physical Education. So that makes me a huge UofM and BYU fan. I am a sports nut too but not to the extreme Layne is. I currently work, part time, for 1-800 Contacts and I am able to work from home which is a huge blessing at the moment. I tend to like the girly stuff like spending time shopping and going to lunch with my mom and sisters.

Julia: The newest addition to our family. Born August 13, 2007. She was so excited to get here she came 5 weeks early. She had to spend about a month in the NICU but she is doing great and is certainly a mover and a shaker. Its hard to believe she is 8 months old already. She is a very happy and content baby! The best thing is she has slept through the night since she was 3 months old and still continues to do so. I think it is because she wears herself out moving around all day! We love her and she is a great addition to our family!
