Crook Family

Some New Family Pics...

Nash is hiding!!!! He is in the pictures but just a few months shy still...

IT'S A BOY... Stay tuned for pics!!!

Well it is finally time for me (Bill) to have bragging rights. There are some of you that may not know what I am talking about, but the rest of you know who you are haha I WAS RIGHT!!! Now alittle background for those of you who are wondering why I am so proudly excited, well so many people kept telling us it was a girl and since I was so sure it was a boy then I would surely be getting a girl instead.. Well there it is read it and weep... j/k

So we are going to start a poll for names and then we want to collect votes from you'all so anyone willing to share some of their funny, freaky, or favorite names BRING IT ON!!!!

Baby Crook!!!!!!

So we might finally become better bloggers after all, since we now have something to blog about! Yes, we're finally joining the club and expecting our baby on June 18, 2009. This ultrasound picture is a few weeks old, we are 3 months along now. We figure until we know what it is, it will still be a little peanut in our mind. We are sooo excited and a little surprised but we can't wait! Our baby is nameless though, so any good ideas that go with "Crook", we're open for suggestions. We made the big announcement to our families this last weekend and they are thrilled. This will be the first Grandbaby for Rachel's parents, and we'll be the last to have kids in Bill's family; so it should be a spoiled child.
We hope everyone is doing well, we will keep you all posted when we find out girl or boy, but most bets are on a boy so far (which will make Bill very happy).

Xade is Home!

So I have been waiting because I was going to let Sabrina post first, but since she has her hands full and hasn't had a chance yet I thought I'd share the good news with everyone. Last Saturday 10/25 Xade was able to come home from the hospital. He stayed with his family at our house for a few days and went to his own house in Snowflake, on Monday, for the very first time. He is doing well and the Yates family is overwhelmed with joy to have him home! Thank you for all your prayers and support, we appreciate each and every one of you who has kept Xade in your thoughts. We Love You All!!
P.S. I'm sure Sabrina will post some pictures soon.

Nephew Came Early (Update)

As you can see our baby Nephew came a little early. Xade is Alma & Sabrina's son, he was born about 3 months early. Baby Xade and Mom are both doing okay. Xade will be in the hospital until he gains some weight, most likely until his actual due date. Please keep him in your prayers, he is a fighter and will grow to be strong. Until he is able to leave the hospital, Alma and Sabrina (or at least Sabrina) will be staying at our house. Xade has had lots of visitors the last couple weeks, so our house has been full and fun. We will be sure to keep you all posted.
UPDATE--We have received numerous calls and emails from family and friends wondering how they could help or if there is anything that could be done, We wanted to make it available for anyone who is asking or wanting to help a place to donate to help the family through this trying time. Donations would be used for time off work and medical bills. There has also been an account set up through Wells Fargo. Email us for the account number if interested. Thanks in advance to everyone who has expressed concern. More importantly thanks on behalf of Alma & Sabrina for your love and prayers.

All our puppies are gone... They were so much fun we will miss them lots and I think Jomby is missing them too. Each one went to a great home where we know they will be loved. Check out "Junior" below enjoying his first fishing trip and spending time with his Dad.... doesn't get any cuter than that!
