"Carly the Mean"

For those of you who don't know, I work at a gymnastics place... Can i just say to all of you reading this... Please please please don't be a crazy cheer/dance/gym/anything mom! I am so grateful each and every day of my work life that my mom was just a mom and didn't force us to do anything. (Thanx mom!!)

I took over some of Cheryl's classes while she went to germany, and today one of her classes, that I also know very well was crazy! I can't tell you how much I love these girls to death, but today i thought i was going to tackle one of them! I finally told them that my new name was "Carly the mean" and that I was going to mean for the rest of the day. I really wasn't that mean to be honest, but the girls all thought it was so funny. I think little Mackenzie will forever call me that. (Sidenote, she looks exactly like Cinderlla. Blonde hair.. big beautiful eyes) Little Kennadi was making fun of me saying that i like pull my hair out when i'm frustrated. I know this doesn't sound that funny on here, but my little seven year olds were just hilarious today. Even though i was 'mean' today, I love them to death! I am grateful everyday for my wonderful job! I love love love working with kids... They are so hilarious and have the greatest insight.

I also started nannying for my cousin angie in the past couple weeks. Today we just ran errands and I just played with little Nash. He is so dang cute! Somedays I can't wait to be a mom!

I still can't believe my little Clara-bear-a is old enough to be in Kindergarten! She has absolutely loved it. These two are pretty adorable walking to school every morning together! Another great soccer season! Tyler was roped into coaching Clara's team again and wins at the best dad and coach ever! He even took Rex with him to a bunch of games and coached while Rexy was strapped to him in the baby carrier! Dad of the year! (I was at piano lessons with Lucy!) Baby Rex kept getting bigger and bigger! Dad would put Rex in his only football outfit every Saturday to watch the Utes play! Haha. Teaching him young! Rex turned 10 months old in September! Lucy's biggest fan! Lucy has bee doing SO great at soccer! Soccer camp from this summer really helped the girls a ton! She was so aggressive and even scored a few goals! Goooo Lucy! Color week for Kindergarten! Purple, Green, Blue, Yellow, Red, and Pink! While the mom's wash tables El...

it's me! I'm back. I have missed writing, so here I am. writing. so very much has happened since I first began this blog back in 2008! ah! almost 10 years ago. Time has seriously flown. I feel like I am a completely different person, and yet still exactly the same. Maybe just a little more perspective? That's a good thing right!? our family is still living the dream up here in North Dakota. We thought we were maybe coming up here for a year, and five and a half years later..... here we are! our kids have truly grown up here. Lucy is eight. Yes, eight! She has gotten to tall and gangly. She is wild and free, full of light, and joyful. Clara is six. She is full of FIRE, spice, and quite a bit of sass. She is fiercely loyal, tender, and a snuggler. Rex is a year and a half of craziness. He is so sweet, all over the place, and such a cute kid. He has his mama wrapped around his little chubby sticky finger! Tyler is the most incredible father, the world's best husband, and k...

Lucy Jane Crosland February 25, 2009 1:23am 6 lbs 12 oz 18 inches long We would like to welcome our sweet little girl Lucy to the world! It was an eventful entrance she made and we're glad she is finally here and perfect! My water finally broke Tuesday afternoon so we went into the hospital about four and they decided to start me on pitocin since other than my water breaking not too much was going on-- after being on pitocin for about a 1/2 hr I was ready for my epidural! ((again- Im not quite sure how people do this naturally- I only had 30 minutes of real contractions and was ready for all the needles in the world!) The epidural was wonderful- I highly recommend it!! Well-- at midnight I had pretty much stalled out at being dialated at a 4.5--so the doctor came in and said that basically if I hadn't dialated in the next little while much it was most likely that they were going to do a C-section-- so for the next hour me, Ty and my mom just prayed that I was dialating, and I ...
