Thank goodness.

Had a wonderful Saturday night! Went to gateway with Jake and Jen. Ate at Z-Tejas... was a lot better than I remembered.. perhaps I just love guacamole way too much. Had great conversation.. had a nice little sit down at the starbucks in barnes and noble (lucy needed to eat.) and enjoyed ourselves by the fire---did you know they now have a huge firepit at gateway? it was fabulous. Love jake and jen. thanks for the great evening out!





This lady seriously had on big bright red sparkly heels. Dorothy 100%. Jen loved em!
Today is Cheryl's B-day. 22!! Woot woot. I'll do a b-day post later!
This post is titled thank goodness, because thank goodness I have Tyler (and now little Lucy) to keep me sane. I am so embarassed/stressed/etc... about these upcoming cheer tryouts this week. Im seriously now thinking that only like 15 girls will be there. This may not make sense, or you may not care, but I seriously put SO SO much time, effort, energy, dedication into this program this last year, and I loved my squad this year so much... but I seriously cannot do anything with only 15 girls trying out. A couple more girls that were on the squad this year are now not trying out again... I can't help but think.. what did i do wrong? I think I just tried way too hard. I can think of a million things I need to improve on... but.. it's like.. just not fair. Coaching comes so naturally to like... oh.. Cheryl.. and she is so disorganized and scatter-brained (love her..) and doesn't put that much time into it, and then there is me who takes forever organzing and brain storming just what I can do to build this program... Ah. Im just praying I have more girls... I love coaching, love my girls, but.. seriously I can't do this again with not enough girls. The program will go absolutely no where!
Poor Tyler-- listen to me tear up over cheerleading. I'm ridiculous.
Sorry- just needed to vent a little. Just ignore the last paragraph.
p.s. lucy is adorable. =)

    I might possibly be the only other person as crazy as you! You can vent to me because my husband gets sick of me talking about coaching too! I told him I did not even want to coach this year because the girls trying out are soooooo bad. Forget teaching them how to do a pirouette! I had to teach them how to prep! Ridiculous! One girl asked me what a plie was! But ya know what my husband told me? He said we probably won't be a great team, but that having to go back to the basics will make me a better coach....hopefully he's right. Besides...we are trying to build programs...it will take a couple of years and surely people are noticing that they are improving! Keep your head up! BTW...ignore that I'm logged onto my poms acct right now.

    Carly I can't imagine how stressed and sad you feel! About the two girls not trying out again: DON'T BLAME YOURSELF! I had Brooke Wallace as my last cheer coach and I absolutely loved her, but I didn't feel like cheering was for me anymore. I wanted to try other things, and they could be feeling the same way or you never know, maybe they can't afford it. So try not to get down over that, I'm sure they love you...you obviously love them because of how much work you put into coaching. Good luck with everything...love ya girl!

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 is finally here!!

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 ...
