Okay Okay Already!!

So my friend Jeanette writes this amazing blog about her family and I AM hooked. I am particularly hooked on her writing. "Finish that novel gurl! I wanna read it.... in hard cover." Anywhoo, she made a great point in her Its Journal Time post.. Here is what she wrote "I mainly blog to journal what's going on in my life and since a journal is normally kept for the sake of the person writing it and their posterity" Not to mention the fact that I was particularly embarrased when asked if i had a blog and gave out my business website and myspace links, which are all business and hoochie poo poo. I really have no excuse, i have an active google account and i am always wasting time on the computer trying to look into something productive. So I'm going to throw my fears out the window and now im doin it. Here is the start of the CrabbyFamily blog.. Hope someone reads it... (btw im now done with propper capitalization and grammar, please bear with me)

so we are the crabtree family... Mike Mary Zachary and Raegan.. this is our first family portrait, taken in december 2007. how shameful is that. here i work with some of the best photographers around and NO FAMILY PORTRAIT! like they say "the shoemaker's children never have shoes!" well my good friend and photographer darryl snapped this for us in a quickity quick shoot. you'd never know he doesnt do family portraiture.

so we went to Disneyland last weekend. we hadnt been since september 2007. normal people are thinking "What is she nuts??" as a matter of fact yes she is ... Nuts about Mickey! mary love love loves disneyland and in reference to our lack of family portraits, we do have family pictures but they all have mickey or other various disney characters as well. mike does his best to tolerate our frequent visits to the magic kingdom. he only lost it once on saturday night as we were literally shuffleing through the crowd to get to Pirates. rae and i are hard core, we can go all day. mike and zach, not so much. we still havent been on finding nemo the line is just way too long, so we watched it on youtube. i figure the computer screen is about as big as that little porthole in the submarine. last year we had season passes so

we went in November 2006

February 2007

September 2007

anyway so that was the last exciting thing we did. i am also cut off of disneyland. sniff sniff... no seriously, i am crying... you have no idea... oh well halloween is only what 8 months away.

i am also hoping that this blog will be a way for me to keep in touch with friends and family. especially since i am a total lazy bum when it comes to communication. i honestly do not mean to be, i am just not a phone person. i cant wait to get off the phone sometimes, even when the story is good, what can i say, i am my father's daughter, no news is good news.. i know it shouldnt be the case, so my sincere apologies for not keeping in touch. names and birthdays just do not stick in my brain, it stinks... im a dunderhead..

hope you like.. mary
