spring has sprung!

we had another great week... it has been warming up and we LOVE the warm weather!
Lucy is currently the queen of falling asleep in the most random places/positions possible.
She insisted on wearing her Rapunzel dress and wings to the YMCA daycare Monday, and all throughout walmart afterwards.... and then fell asleep in the cart. 
Tuesday the weather was finally warm enough to go playoutside! We met a bunch of friends at the park and had so much fun-- Lucy ran and ran and ran, and was so dirty! The adults got Qdoba, and all the kiddos got McDonalds and played on the playplace for dinner. We went with Jenny & David, Jaymie & Mark, and Angie & Chris. We're so glad we've made some good friends since being here.

Wednesday we cleaned, and it was warm enough again to run outside. Yay! 
Thursday we went to go pick up grandma Bonnie from the airport!
We have been so lucky to have both of our moms come to see us, and we have loved it!

Grandma got to come with us to watch Lucy at gymnastics-- this is Lucy being a 'monkey'. She loves gymnastics and could play on the bars all day!

That night a bunch of our friends had a Paula Deen cooking/girls night over at Jaymie's house.  I made this Caramel Apple Streusel Cheesecake.... Oh my heck. Sooo good. And we had SOOO much food all night! There was a LOT of food consumption. Bless you Paula Deen!
I ended up staying out WAY too late and rolled in around 3:30am.... but had so much fun, and have not laughed that hard in such a long time!

Friday Lucy had a little birthday party for one of her friends, Eva. She wore her Rapunzel dress without knowing that was the theme and had a blast playing with her new friends.

Bonnie and I went walked with the kids to the park that afternoon, then we went to dinner that night where both girls fell asleep at the table. Haha... 

Saturday was St. Patricks Day! We drove down to Bismarck to go to the zoo, which I'll post about later, and had a blast! I decided to dye our milk green last second, which in turn resulted in green cereal, green bottles for Clara, and just by chance since we got home late we decided to make crepes, and ended up having green crepes! Lucy at first wasn't so sure about the milk, but then decided she LOVED green milk! I sure hope she can go back to white ok!

Bonnie was able to come to church with us on Sunday, and I was called to be a sunbeam teacher! Yay! I really do love kids that age, so it will be fun. A few of Lucy's friends are in that class too, so it should be some good fun! 
Sunday night Clara just started walking all over the place with her little stroller! Ah! She will be walking before I know it, I'm dying! She is seriously the cutest thing ever. She is cruising all over the place!


We had SO much fun with Grandma Bonnie! I think we were kind of boring hosts, but Lucy was in HEAVEN! Grandma brought the girls are sorts of goodies-- Lucy got a horse puzzle, some My Little Pony books, some cool bath toys, They each got an outfit, and Clara got some cute little teething rings which she loves! They are definitely spoiled by their Grandma!
Lucy loved that Grandma would read her all the books she wanted, and had Grandma's attention 100% of the time! I think that was the best part!
Thank you so so so much for coming Bonnie! These girls love Grandma Bonnie and we can't wait to see her again in a 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!

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 ...
