Why a blog?

I started a blog sometime last year and never quite got the hang of how to work the website. I hate to say I "quit" but I guess I did. So, hopefully, I can figure this crazy computer stuff out so you can stay informed with us, the Cragun clan.

I really want to do this mainly for my friends and family who are so far away. Braxton is my main motivation. He is growing so big so quickly. They have already missed out on a lot and I don't want them to miss out on too much more.

Jeff and I have moved once again. Let's see, so in 5 years, that is technically 7 moves. Luckily, this wasn't a big move. Just acrossed town. Not too bad. Right now our moving goes as follows: Utah to Michigan, Michigan to Utah, Utah to Montana, Montana to Utah, Utah to Ohio, and then acrossed town once & acrossed town again. I'm HOPING this is the last move while Jeff is still in school. That would be great.

I guess I'd better go. I do have a cute Braxton story for you real quick, though: It was almost time for bed and we had cleaned up Braxton's toys. His little toy vacuum was around by the side of the couch though and I saw it just as I was about to flip out the light. So, I yelled to Braxton, "come get the vacuum and take it to your room." I heard the little pitter-pattering of feet and knew that he was coming, so I carried on in the kitchen paying little attention to what he was doing. A few moments passed by and then I heard him grunting. First thought: Oh, know! He needs to go to the restroom (STILL potty-training.) So, I ran to the hallway and see him trying to push the REAL vacuum. I said, "Braxton, what are you doing?" And he responded, "pushing vac-oom to Baxton's woom." He is so adorable and I love him soooo much. I'm so blessed to have such a great obeyer!

It's my sister's birthday today, too. So happy birthday, Malinda!

Just another day in my crazy Cragun life! Later... Maria
