the kiddos trip.

we had such an awesome time in st george this last week!
we had a girls/kids trip and were lucky enough to stay in amy's inlaw's condo down there.
the weather was so awesome, and i would go back in a heartbeat to be in 65 degrees again!
lucy had so so much fun with her cousins, and it's so cute how she idolizes them all!
she is really quite a bit less fiesty around other kids too... funny. she is way more of a hellian at home, and quite the follower/pleaser/peacemaker/happy girl with other kids!
it works for me though, because she was so so good the whole trip and had so much fun!

here's our cute kiddos at the park...

this was our attempt at getting them all in the same picture... haha
blake- 2 1/2, macey- 27 months, lucy- 24 months, Cody- 4






i love how lucy runs... head down and waving her arms like a maniac. she just sits and says, "ready, set, GO!" all the time and races herself everywhere!



we drove down tuesday, and tuesday night we went to pirate island for some pizza and let the kids play, they thought it was so cool to do the arcade games! and lucy probably went down the slide 30 times.
the next day we went on a walk to the park, then laid out on the patio while the kiddos slept.
that night we did a little bit of shopping, and went to Orange Peel for some awesome smoothies and Don Pedros for some mexican.
Thursday I went and bought a swimsuit- I left mine at home- Lame huh? but I needed one anyway!
We just hung out and laid out a little more while the kids slept and hit up the hot tub that afternoon.
the kids had so much fun just riding their bikes all over that neighborhood the whole week too!

i can't believe how old lucy is starting to look! ah!



the weather was so good so we left a little later friday then we thought... the kids got to ride all over the tennis courts one more time, while we got in a little more sun!




somehow i managed to not get my picture taken all week.. yess... haha
but i'm now 31 wks prego, carrie is like 15, and amy is 26 i think.


lucy was posing... she is so funny.



overall it was awesome and i can't wait to go back in a few weeks! thank you bonnie!

i had a cold almost the whole time down there and friday it just got worse as we were coming home.
we haven't really even been home since we got back either-
friday night was my good friend Kameron's wedding reception, Saturday we went up to Kaysville so Tyler could get out of the apartment he had been stuck in all week alone... haha. We got to see our families and had a fabulous dinner at Tepenyaki for cute Jessi's birthday this week!
Sunday I was still sick, but I missed church last week because Lucy was sick, so we had to go so we could teach primary! We teach the 7 year olds... we have 4 boys... it's quite the adventure. =)
and Sunday night we had the 'Birthday' dinner at my mom's house for my Dad, Mom, and Shawn!
March is definitely the birthday month...
I cannot believe it's already march... I am so ready for warm weather but, can't believe we go to nationals in 2 1/2 weeks, then it's like the baby's here! Ah!
that is a scary thought... a really scary thought. 
technically i am ready if she came tomorrow- but i'm really not ready at all. so hopefully she stays a cookin until the first week of May!

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 ...
