knights, hair-dos, toy story, and nays.

 random?
yes.
i have been bouncing around between cheer with orem, cheer with kaysville, playing with lucy at home, cleaning my house, trying to be a good wife, etc...
but really all my favorite things... minus the cleaning the house part!
orem had their big rivalry game with mtn view friday night, and much to my girl's delight- we won in overtime. i honestly never really watch the game. i really do just watch the cheerleaders really at whatever game we're at.. but lately it's just making sure lucy doesn't run out into the court while the game is going on. 
she can be so cute... and quick!

kaysville jr had their final competition on saturday- finally!
The girls seriously did awesome!
i felt like we didn't have that long to perfect a lot of the changes we made in their routine since the last competition- we changed their whole opening stunt, and added some difficulty- and two girls got kicked off for not making grades- but seriously- i am impressed! 
they didn't drop any stunts, and i could not be happier about how they did!
my dad recorded it, so as soon as he sends the video to me, I will put it up- because they did so good.
the girls were all really bummed because they took second to a team that had a stunt fall, and they didn't have any falls--- junior high girls are so funny.... haha... but i think they should still be so proud of themselves. It has been such a different experience being just a 'competition coach' and only seeing them once a week during competition season- but I'm really glad I did it. 

Here is cute candace and me... can you believe she is now the tallest girl in our family?
she by far got the good genes out of the girls... nice dark thick hair, big full lips... boys better watch out! i can't believe she will be in high school next year!

The team..
Julia, Mrs. Pierce (their advisor), Miranda, Brynna, Kendra, Presley, Reagan, Me,
Lovie, Quincie, Jill
Lindsie, Candace, and Sadie

 after the competition my mom and I were attempting to do Candace's hair for how she has to have it for dance competitions this year... oh my gosh. most complicated thing ever! I'm not for sure what their director is thinking... but anyway. later that night Lucy was watching UP and sitting on a stool so she was letting me play with her hair... so she got the 'sweet' up-do done too! 
it looks way cuter on her... haha... so funnny.

and last but not least... cheryl and kyle brought lucy over some little animal figurines with some toy story ones mixed in there, and lucy LOVES them. 
she is obsessed with the two horses, and woody and buzz. (woo-y, and B to her)
these pictures just make me laugh... she is into the funniest things lately, and seriously has the most vivid imagination! she is definitely my daughter... i can't believe how smart and big she is getting!
she will be 2 on friday! Ah!


she will only eat meals at 'her table' now. her little friends frequently join her.
last night she went to bed with buzz, the two figurine horses, a stuffed animal horse, and of course her binky and blanky. (but good news... night #2 with no bottle! she is doing great!)
oh and get this.. i think maybe putting her in a twin bed is backfiring completely.
she won't sleep in the porta-crib now. Fail.
we slept at my mom's friday, and long story short I finally had to take her upstairs to the nursery because she wasn't letting tyler get any sleep, so I took her up to put her in the crib and I could sleep in the twin bed right by her... but nope.
she got the twin bed. and went right to sleep.
we're going to st. george next week with tyler's mom and sisters... hopefully she will sleep in her crib, because chances are, we won't have a bed reserved just for the 2 year old! haha.


 we love little jane.
i think we've narrowed down names to....
alice mae or clara mae.
at least for now.

and. I got my quilt back for Lucy's bed... I still have to do the edges... my mind just went blank on that word... but it turned out BEAUTIFUL! I'm so excited to get the girls room all decorated. I am thinking about making a smaller quilt for the crib so they will match.... Hmmm...

only like 2 months until we have this baby... AH!!
one month until California/Nationals with my cheerios! Yay!
St. George next week!
and hopefully spring weather is just around the corner!

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...

hello!

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 ...
