Thanksgiving/Cowboy Christmas!!

Well... Our Thanksgiving was rather uneventful. Tyler was a true champ and hung out with my family ALL weekend! His parents and Jessi went to go see Ben, Carrie, and Cody in Washington so they weren't around, so our time which is normally split up between the two families was all dedicated to mine. Poor kid- haha. We drove up there Wednesday night and weren't back here until late last night! We had a nice weekend though- we really just hung out all weekend and didn't do much. Friday night we went to dinner with Porter and Erika and got treated like royalty. Haha- seriously we had the best waiter we have ever had in our whole lives! Porter told our waiter- who was Russian- that Tyler was rich, and I think the guy must have believed him because he gave us great service- perhaps in hope of a great tip? It was pretty funny.

Saturday was definately the highlight of the weekend though- starting about 5 years ago my dad bought this cowboy christmas CD and at first all of us Brock kids thought it was seriously torture, but over the years it has become our favorite christmas CD! Well this year Michael Martin Murphy was coming to Roosevelt, Utah and my dad bought us all tickets! So Saturday afternoon we loaded everyone up and started the trek out to Roosevelt! We had a fine dining experience at JB's and then arrived at Roosevelt Jr. High for the show! Michael Martin Murphy was amazing, even if it was a bit long. (The show started at 7 and ended at 11pm!!) It definately made for some good memories though!



Cheryl and Kyle!

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 ...
