I have a crack from door in my backyard that goes diagonally to a window. It cracked the morter and the corner of the first brick above the door. Is it somthing to be concerned about?

It Could Be A Couple Of Things One Settling. The Fact That You Say It Cracked The First Brick Above The Door Leads Me To Believe It A Problem With Your Lintels. Check For Rusting Lintels And Or Weep Hole That Are Missing Or Clogged. If You Live In An Area That Freezing Could Be An Issue Water Trapped Could Be Causing Movement.
