Lucy's Color Birthday Party!

 I seriously cannot believe my little lucy is 2!
time is going by so so fast...
we had a 'COLOR' party at my mom's on her birthday, and everything turned out so so cute!
so sorry for literally a million pictures...

we covered the tables in butcher paper, and coleen had this darling colored masking tape she used to 'liven them up'. we had candy in all different colors, then crayons on all the tables so everyone could color or write miss lucy a little note on the tables!


i made a couple little paper banners that we just hung up using some bakers twine, i think i might put this banner up in her room if everything comes together!
the kids even got their own table they could color on too.

my mom got a bunch of cute balloons- Lucy was in heaven!
and i just got a bunch of construction paper and made a bunch of the paper chain links in rainbow colors to hang all over the house!


I wish I would have gotten a better picture of the actual food- but we ran out of time!
we had different color veggies cut into tall thin strips in clear cups
fruit in all different colors just spread out
then chips, pasta salad, fruit, and some fun kid snacks like pirates booty, and multi-colored gold fish just in all different color bowls 
we just did water with some fruit in it to give it some color
and then all of the plates, napkins, cups, utensils, and straws all in different colors

it really was so easy to make all the decorations and such, and came together so cute!
thanks so much to my cute mom and other mom, Coleen for helping me out!

Lucy had so much fun coloring all night! She is just learning all of her colors- purple, orange and blue are probably her favorites and loves coloring with crayons, so she loved all the bright colors and crayons everywhere!

cute jessi and tyler!

me and amy- we're due 4 wks apart! so excited to have another set of little girls close!


a big thanks to all of our cute friends who came to see us and little lucy!
tyler thinks i went over the top- but honestly, i didn't want to have a party just for everyone to spoil lucy, i really just wanted to plan a party and have an excuse to see all of our cute friends and family!


 jentrie, madison, lindsey, katie, and me

lucy loving the balloons with jake, mike and rand

quin and porter both came without their wives- lucy seriously loves them both so i'm glad they came!
tyler is his dad's twin right? haha.

lucy and her cute cousin blake- they are 5 months apart, and lucy seriously idolizes blakey!



Lucy was in HEAVEN when everyone was singing to her... she seriously LOVES to be the center of attention! It is so funny. I will have to get the video from my mom, because she was so giddy the whole time. Haha... Love my little jane!










and the coolest part of her color party- pretty much the reason she had a birthday party was because i saw this cake online, and really wanted to make it! so it turned into Lucy's color birthday party!
It turned out SO so cute! Coleen came over with way awesome food coloring, and i think without the good food coloring it would have looked pretty lame, so I'm so glad we used them! She also frosted the cake to perfection, and is pretty much awesome. The cake was so good too!
It was just two white cake mixes- I found the DIY Tutorial here: HERE






my mama and coco!



Lucy loved showing off her gifts to everyone... she is so funny. 



cute blake helped lucy open all her presents!

Lucy got an awesome leap frog and some darling gymboree outfits from grandma and grandpa brock!




we got her a little train from ikea.. and some cute outfits from baby gap and target. of course. haha.


lucy wanted to go lay by her little cousin carter and they were being so funny....






overall her party was so fun, and it was so fun to just see everyone and see lucy love being the center of attention. she is such a funny little girl, and we love her to death!

she opened her gifts from grandma and papa crosland the next day...
she got this awesome puzzle, a darling outfit, and the coolest bike ever!
we're so excited to head down to st george this week to test it out!

    When I saw the first picture of the cake I thought "it would be cool if the cake had different colors for each layer". Low and behold, I scroll down and viola. I too saw that tutorial awhile back. Such a fun/cute idea!

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 ...
