lots of random summer fun!

a bunch of random fun we have been having as of late....

riding papa's horses at the farm

swimmin at cherry hill with grandma and candace

falling asleep in random places at grandma's house

playing at the splash pad by our house with michelle and izzy



more swimming at cherry hill... lucy is the champion swimmer now! she loves her goggles and life jacket and can jump in and swim across the whole pool in her jacket. she is such a fish!

i took lucy and clara to cherry hill by myself last week and took clara in the lazy river-- she LOVED it! we went around like 20 times-- she is such a good baby and usually just sleeps in her stroller while lucy and i swim!

i feed lucy really healthy... yep. i can't believe she sat still this long to let me do her hair- it was awesome, stayed in for like 4 days!

just hanging out in her stroller at cherry hill with us!

having fun with our best friend and cousin blake-- we babysat her last friday and lucy just loves her so much. they love swimming in the pool at our apartment complex and playing together- we love living so close to them.


amy and luke blessed cute Callie Jessica Larsen this Sunday! She is such a doll- we're so excited for yet another fun girl cousin Clara's age!



candace stayed with us one night and came with us to the baby blessing while my parents were in baltimore visiting cheryl and kyle-- lucy and clara love her!

and biggest news ever... no not potty trained yet--- BUT
Lucy peed on the potty 3 times the last couple weeks! She is definitely getting ready to be potty trained, but i'm going with my sister in law's method and just hoping if I wait long enough she'll potty train herself--- Haha. Maybe when it gets cold enough to stay inside all day, until then, we're stickin with diapers!


and yes, Lucy loves working out with mom. here we are doing ab ripper x-- ya i'm hardcore.
lucy tries to do every move- it's hilarious. She's such a babe and a little terror all at the same time!


I'm still trudging along running! My half marathon is next Saturday, and the St. George marathon is 6 weeks away! Ah! I think the half marathon will be so much fun, and I feel so ready for that-- the marathon not so much. I'm just hoping I finish in like under 5 hours.
I really have enjoyed running this summer- even if I swear the only thing that has changed on my body is my legs getting bigger- but hey! I am still eating like a cow so I can keep nursing Clara, so I can't complain too much.

and best news ever... TYLER GRADUATED THIS WEEK! 
YAY!
They don't walk in the summer, so he'll have to wait for that until December, but still- I'm so proud of him and I know he is so so glad to be done! Good job babe!

So sad it's august, we have a LOT more summer fun to jam into these last few weeks!

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 ...
