the end of summer.

 so so sad summer is over. but i have to admit- i am kind of excited for somewhat of a routine again.
we seriously have eaten dinner at our house something like maybe 5 times all summer- no joke! and don't get me wrong, I love all the free food and no cooking, but i'm looking forward to some normalcy.

fall means football games! candace is now a super-fabulous-'ya'-yelling-d'ette, so we went to watch her perform at her first home game! (uhm, i just found out that high school football games are $6 freaking bucks a person to get in. i have never had to pay once to get into a game, so this is news to me. outrageous i tell you! outrageous!)
but look how cute little clara is! please excuse the sweat glistening on my face, it was approximately 1,000 degrees outside with 1 billion people squished together on the stands. awesome.

our friends porter and erika are in town again before they move, so we went boating last weekend. if i haven't mentioned it before, Lucy LOVES porter.
shawn and mel came, carter was not digging the heat.
once again, it was seriously a thousand degrees outside. HOT!

me and cute erika, and clara loving her life jacket.

i am now the ripe old age of 2-3.
my birthday is august 31st, and normally i have a birthday 'month', but unfortunately i am growing up. dangit. i had my traditional white cake with pink frosting on family dinner sunday! yay!
 for my b-day, i took lucy to the dr to get her x-rayed again and she got her splint off, yay!
had lunch at 'the bun' with my mom and co-co, and the 'girls'.
my mom and i ran down to anthropologie to use my birthday coupon. yess....
and tyler and i went to stoneground in slc and saw the movie, 'crazy, stupid, love'.
so so inappropriate, but so so funny. little lucy will most definitely not be watching pg-13 movies when she is big. but we laughed so hard. i am a walking contradiction i know.

'

friday we woke up bright and early and headed down to the madness of swiss days. I love love swiss days and wish I could stay all day long! someday!


thursday me and meg went to lunch and clara and knox had some lovin' time. they are so dang cute. we also had a bridal shower for cute abby that night. so good to see good friends again!





since lucy finally got her splint off, amy and i took our girls to cherry hill on labor day one more time! (i'm hoping we can go again this weekend too!)

love cute callie!

amy could totally do twins....

love cute lu.

and in big news.... Lucy no longer has her binky! 
it was getting to be ridiculous, so i told her that if she was a big girl she needed to give all of her binkys to baby clara-- she has had a couple of rough nights and naps, but it's gone! Yay!
now to potty training. ugh!

    Enjoy your youth:) How do you have the Best babies in the entire world? That is awesome. I hope you had a wonderful birthday. I'm sorry we're so flaky that we didn't even call that day, but we love you!

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 ...
