The Cravy Family

Micah Loves, Well You Know

Aaron Cravy — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 01:47:42 +0000

While walking through JC Penny the other night, Micah wanders into the ladies swimsuit department. He spots a headless mannequin wearing a bikini and exclaims I love boobies! Now this hasnt happened before and we were a little taken aback. He says it again as he comes back to us and the giggling overtook us. This, of course, only encourages him to say it more We take the escalator upstairs as we are there to find Andi a nursing bra and, as you can imagine, this sent Micah into a boobie chanting tizzy. Thankfully, not many shoppers were there and we just let him go. Embarrassing? A little. Hilarious? Absolutely!

Micah and the shoe vs the bug

Andi — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 16:04:39 +0000

One morning as the kids and I watch our morning shows, Natty spots a BUG! As we all know Natty is deathly afraid of bugs! As Micah gets closer to take a good look at it, I tell him to get a shoe. He grabs the closest shoe and runs back to the bug and places the shoe on top of the bug. Micah doesn’t bother to smash it, he just gently places the shoe on top of the bug. He then yells ” I got it!” I say ” you got it?” He says ” I got it!” again I say ” You got it?” He shouts even louder…. “YEAH!” hahaha to that I reply “good job buddy!”

A little later Micah picks up his shoe to realize he didn’t smash the bug, he screams “ahhhhhhh!” He quickly drops the shoe back on the bug and runs off! Ah, the funniest things in my life come from the mouths of my kids.

Even More Natty-isms

While hanging out at MawMaw and PawPaw’s, Natty asks if she can have some “Flamingo Juice.” Apparently, she had gotten some mango juice earlier and wanted a refill.

While out driving with PawPaw, headed somewhere unknown, they drove by a big lake here in Lubbock that has some spraying fountains in the center for decoration and for evaporating some of the water. Natty takes one look and exclaims, “PawPaw, the lake is leaking!”

Micah Discovers His Wrinkles

The other night, our precious 20 month old son discovered his wrinkly fingers. After taking a nice long bath with his sister, Micah noticed his fingers being wrinkly and crinkly. He just didn’t know what to do with this new found revalation. He showed his hands to Natty and then looks back at them again with a very perplexed look on his face. Then, he does what comes natural to a little boy, he sticks his fingers in his mouth. He pulls them out again, looks at them and then sticks them back in again. This continues for the next five minutes or so, over and over again. He just couldn’t get over the feeling of wrinkly, crinkly fingers.

The discovery of youth, isn’t it awesome!

Camera Fun

Sometimes its just nice to have fun in front of the camera. Here are some pictures of the kids and their gorgeous mom, Adriana for your viewing pleasure.

Mumbo Jumbo’s New Headquarters

Aaron Cravy — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 20:36:50 +0000

As some of you may know, Dad (Richard) and I have been running a business as a side project for almost 2 years now. We call it Mumbo Jumbo and we do all sorts of video, photo and computer work. We had been utilizing parts of our offices at our day jobs to run Mumbo Jumbo, but situations changed and we needed to get our own place. The pictures on this post are of our new 3-office suite that will house all of our Mumbo Jumbo work. These pictures are of the front door and the front office, which is where I work. Dad’s office is not yet ready for pictures as he is still moving in his personal livrary and computer repair work.

We are very excited about the move, although somewhat nervous as well. Please pray that this is a move that God will bless and that we can use this space to both care for our physical needs and to bring glory to God.

Motorcycle Rider Pinata

Aaron Cravy — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 16:26:38 +0000

Another funny story from the mouth of our brilliant daughter. While driving through Lubbock the other day, we were passed by a motorcyclist who was weaving in and out of traffic while not wearing a helmet. We see this as an opportunity to teach Natty a little about being safe on a bike as she now rides a bike and wears a helmet to ride. Andi states that the motorcyclist had better be careful or he might crash and his head might fall off. Natty thinks about this for a second and then says, “Will there be candy all over the street if his head falls off? If there is everyone will be excited!”

I wonder what kind of candy is inside my pinata head?

Natty’s Instructions on How to Make Gas

Aaron Cravy — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 19:16:37 +0000

After I finished pumping gas at the local Wal-Mart, Natty proceeded to tell Andi and I that she knew how to make gas. Here is her recipe”

Take some white milk
Add some sour cream
Put in the fridge and freeze it
Add some blue oil
All done, now you have gas

Someone needs to get that recipe to the government. That could put an end to our reliance on foreign oil.

Mmmmm, Pot Pies

Aaron Cravy — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 01:26:30 +0000

Natty says so many things that just make us laugh out loud and we fail to write them down often enough. This story was worth remembering so here it is.

Andi put some pot pies in the microwave for dinner. We haven’t had them in a very long time and Natty has never had one, at least not where she would remember it. They are heating up and Andi and I are back in the office talking about our day. Natty rushes in and says in her serious voice, “The food in the microwave smells soooo good!” Andi and I look at each other and just lose it.

The simple joys of pot pies, don’t ever understimate it!

Squished Car

Aaron Cravy — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 20:28:37 +0000

The other day we were out driving around, doing something or other with the kids and we see a newer style Volkswagen Beetle. Natty spots it and says, “Look at that squished car!” If you’ve seen it, you know that is a fairly accurate description. Upon hearing this, Andi tells her that the new Bug is her absolute favorite car, which is a true statement. Ever since we have been together, Andi has wanted one, a lime green colored one. Natty hears this from her momma and she proceeds to ask me “When are you going to buy momma and me a squished car? It’s our favorite!” “Someday, baby, someday” is my reply. I mean, what else can I say?

So, the day goes on and bedtime comes around. Natty is snuggling up next to me as she is falling asleep, as she often does (one of my favorite parts of being her daddy). OUt of nowhere, she mumbles to me, “Daddy, when will you buy momma and me a squished car? It’s our favorite,” and then she drifts off to sleep and dream of squished cars.
