Thoughts.

Just blogging today. No real reason.

To compete or not to compete. That is the question. I made the mistake of letting my girls vote this year for competition. (My cheerleaders that is.) I haven't heard back from everyone yet, but basically it's all the new girls really want to compete, and the returners don't. And I totally get why the returners don't want to, it was totally my learning year, and well really I just made a lot of mistakes. I also didn't realize, or really get how important games are to them, and I let competition totally take preference over practicing for games. I have a ton of great ideas for this year, and I have no doubt in my mind that they will be so much better, and a lot more well rounded with balancing games and such... Did I mention that the whole reason I coach is because I like competing? Let me know your opinion-- do we compete or not??

Went to gateway today with my mom, and her cute friend Suzanne. The weather was so great! I am SO excited for summer-- Lake Powell really. And well just warm weather. I love it. We shopped today for like 4 hours-- way long, but overall great. Got a cute dress for Lucy's blessing this Sunday! Lucy was a trooper. Just toally hung out while we shopped!

Tyler just informed me that the 'Nesquick' chocolate milk stuff he has been drinking, is apparantly expired for about a year. His mom gave it to him. Oh Tyler. that's discusting. He informs me often that things are expired, and sees nothing wrong with it. I, on the other hand am an expiration date freak. Ewww...

American Idol Tonight. Not the greatest. I still think Adam is good, but looks like a girl. Love Allison, but thought she would do better than she did tonight. Danny- uhm you just screamed bloody murder.. and I like Kris. Think he is OH so cute.

Can't wait for So You Think You Can Dance...

Here is a picture of Lucy on Sunday. She kinda looks like Minnie Mouse. But SO cute.

    I think you should definitely compete! I learned with my team last year that competing gave them some motivation to work hard. Even though we didn't ever win, the girls still had something to strive for. They were used to getting last place and at our league competition we placed 5th out of 12. Even though most teams wouldn't be happy about 5th, my team was stoked! Once competition was over in December, no one worked hard at practice anymore. It was like pulling teeth to get them to do anything. I think if you don't compete you will lose them halfway through the year and have to drag your feet to finish it out...so I say go for it!

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 ...
