OH Christmas TIME!

We had a FABULOUS Christmas. Here is a recap... With TONS of pictures.
The 23rd we headed up to K-town and had a Donut party with the Crosland Family! Well the girls made donuts the men watched the U game- typical right? I was amazed at how good these donuts were. Seriously. I might have my own party sometime.





Christmas Eve we spend the day with the Brock Family. We watched Christmas movies, did a puzzle, and ate way TOO much good good food.
 

This is me and Lucy and our 'advent' calendar. She put up the ornament every day on the tree! It was so dang cute.




Here is our Christmas eve dinner- unfortunately I think I cut just about everyone out of the picture.






We also got our Christmas PJ's and attempted to sing Christmas carols while Kyle played the guitar- I knew our family wasn't that musically gifted, but it was seriously the worst thing I have ever heard.
Feel free to put our family in a gap commercial. We rocked the plaid!





Christmas morning we rushed and opened gifts with the Brock's.
Lucy got her very own patagonia coat, a cute stroller walker, and tons of other toys, and outfits from Grandma and Grandpa Brock. They gave us a beautiful picture and tons of clothes, and a cute recipe holder, scrapbook, etc....











Cheryl is notorious for AWESOME Christmas morning pictures. I would say this is one of the best.



We then headed to the Crosland home for Bonnie's famous Scones, and more gifts!
Lucy got this kickin new carseat from us, as well as a new highchair, and some cute new clothes.
Grandma and Grandpa Crosland got her the cutest outfit, and toy, as well as the greatest walker ever!
We got the best gift though- a 2 night stay at the Zermott in Midway! Yess....










We also went sledding Christmas day with the Croslands!







Christmas was wonderful. Can't wait until next year.
We are truly so blessed to have such amazing families!

The day after Christmas we played games at Porter and Erika's. These boys are so cute.

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 ...
