Carly Crosland

How cute is my little girl? She is now 6 months old. Sits like a champ! Plays with her toes. Has oatmeal twice a day, and veggies once a day, and I have also got really sick of nursing so I have snuck a bottle in there once a day as well. I think she might be starting to teeth. She sucks her thumb and/or fingers constantly. Trys to eat everything imaginable now, and has quite possibly the cutest laugh ever. We have so much fun with her. I love my little Lucy!

We had an awesome time at Bear Lake this past week! I did the reservations this year, and  apparently  I rented us 'The House'. We stay at Sweetwater, or Ideal Beach and there is only one house on the whole property, the rest are condos. So we had room for 20 people, so my mom called and invited Coleen and her 3 kids up. Cheryl couldn't come because she started teaching 2nd grade last week! Other than that our whole family was there! We had a great time doing nothing... staying up late...eating junk food....sitting on the beach....etc... Im so sad summer is almost over! School is starting... the only good thing is it's almost my BIRTHDAY! yay. Enjoy the cute pics! 

SO. Here's the story. Last May I signed up to run the Hobblecreek 1/2 marathon. I was pumped. Started training. Went to Lake Powell. Came home, went running and nearly died. I couldnt' figure out why I was dying after running a mile. Well turns out I was prego. SO- my money was gone and I didnt' run the 1/2 marathon. Fast forward to this April. Signed up to run the Hobblecreek 1/2 marathon. I was pumped. Started training. Went to Lake Powell. Kept Running. Ran the Kaysville 4th of July 10k. Survived. Ever since than, my training has been lacking. Currently-- ran a couple times last week, went to pilates yesterday, planning on running 5 miles tonight.... So the question is... Should I still run it? My dad says its mostly downhill.. I know it will be hard... but, will I die if I try to run it without really training that well? The most I think I have run is like, well a 10k. I need advice. Help.

So Sorry I suck at blogging lately... Here is what we have been up to... -making up a competition routine... and thinking cheer non-stop. Its quite pathetic really -Had 3 long long days of cheer... Mon-Wednesday from 12-9pm. -cut music for cheer -went to Brad & Heidi Toone's reception at snowbasin-- beautiful. Great reason to ditch our cute baby with the grandparents and see good friends... oh, and ride the gondola. --saw cute miss Isabel Smoot! Michelle and Marcus's baby... I forget how dang TINY they are. She has so much hair.. Lucy is jealous. So excited for a friend for Lulu. -''babysat'' Kyle and Candace while my cute mom survived a backpacking trip with my dad. Go Mom! --applebees with friends. loved my cheeseburger. -celebrated Jeff's birthday! (my amazing father in law) Happy Birthday! (sidenote: me and ty suck at birthdays this year. if you didn't get a card or gift... sorry.) -- had an overly awesome breakfast at granny annie's -grabbed...

Just catching up.... The last week of July Ben, Carrie, Cody and Macey came down! It's always so fun when they come down-- we always get together with all the Crosland's and have some quality family time! While they were here we had fun swimming at Surf n' swim, shooting off fireworks for the kids (aka Luke and Jessi...), and just hanging out at the farm! Here are some pictures from some summer fun! Cute Lucy at the Farm... dont' you love her outfit? Protecting from the mosquitos. haha... Lucy at surf n'swim... I suck at taking pictures lately, but had to get my camera out for this... she was out cold just swimming in the pool!! Tyler shaved his head... or should i say Luke and Ben shaved Tyler's head... dont' worry the mohawk only lasted a few minutes.. but it was awesome. Luke and Jessi playing with fireworks...
