Christmas Eve 2011

 This year we spent Christmas Eve at the Brock Home!
and the best part- my sister Cheryl and her husband Kyle, flew in from Baltimore that morning! Yay! Did I mention we haven't seen them since JULY? 

We had the best day. Did a couple puzzles while watching 'White Christmas' of course.. my favorite movie!  Ate lots and lots of good food, and did nothing. It was awesome.




We had yummy filet mignon, twice baked potatoes, and homemade rolls for dinner... Yum...

Little Lucy had a rough couple of days at my moms-- hit the back of her head on my mom's nightstand and bled all over her shirt the day before christmas eve, then on christmas eve she went to get the mail with my dad and had an accident, while washing her clothes she bumped her lip and bled on her shirt yet again, and then after opening up her new christmas P.J.'s she went diarrhea in those.... that being said... potty training is actually going really well! She hasn't had an accident in a couple of weeks, and I think she just got sick Christmas eve night a little bit.
I love her fake smile... Not! 

Lucy got this twirling skirt to go with her Christmas PJ's and loves it!


These might be their favorite gifts from all of Christmas... Haha.

Love trying to get pictures of these 3!

 Traditonal kids picture in front of the tree! Candace is a giant now! I look awful. I have been having some bad hair days-- I think I need to start taking my prenatal vitamins again to do something to my hair!


Such a fabulous Christmas Eve! We love our jammies Mom! We love love spending the holidays with family, and have been having so much fun the last couple weeks! I can't believe we are moving so soon! Ah! Please Pray for us that we can find somewhere to live! =)

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 ...
