our life: in instagram

Lucy: she was cold, but didn't want to put back on her pants. So a coat was only logical... Silly girl.

I have been a horrible blogger lately, but here's a little snip of what we have been up to lately, thanks to instagram!

little candace went to prom last saturday! wish I could have been there to see her! Sniff sniff... She just turned 16 this week too! 

Clara is standing forever, but won't walk unless you are holding her hand. She is so sweet!

Clara got her birthday present early from us-- a new highchair! Yay! And we've had the flu this weekend... meaning Lucy and Clara. Sleepy little girls.
We headed down to Bismarck Thursday night to meet Tyler for the night beause he didn't know he was going to have to spend the night in Dickinson, so we just met him in Bismarck so he didn't have to drive all the way home to get his stuff! We ate at Texas Roadhouse, and swam in the awesome hotel pool! Lucy was in heaven... even if she did throw up a little on the way down. 
Go ahead, give me the mother of the year award! 





The girls had a blast swimming, but we had a pretty rough night at the hotel. Lucy didn't actually throw up that much, just a few little times, but sure kept us on our toes. Tyler had to get up early and leave for work, but Lucy and Clara both went back to sleep, and Lucy slept right up until 10:30 when I woke her up to put her in the car, slept on the way to Sam's club, got in the cart and fell back asleep, we were in Sam's for like an hour and a half while Clara was darling and flirted with everyone Lucy was covered with food in the cart the whole time. She woke up to get back in the car, then slept again the whole 2 hours home. Slept on the couch while watching 2 different movies, then we had to run some errands and slept in the car for another hour, and went to bed at like 9pm for the whole night again. Geez! (This whole time Clara had diarrhea and had like 3 blow outs... Yay!)

Lucy was feeling a LOT better yesterday, but then the diarrhea hit. She was SO funny about it, she would go into the bathroom as fast as she could, sit down and, ahem... Go, then Yell as loud as she could for me, "MOM!! I went di--wee-a again!! COME SEE it!! Mom, Come see my poo-poo!!!"
She is quite the character, but man I will be glad when these two are all the way better!
(Granted they did wake up at 8:30 this morning, and by 10am were both back in bed asleep, so I can't complain too much! Lucy even put herself in there, grabbed my cheetah-snuggy, which she calls her 'cheeto blanky' and crawled in her bed!)

Life is goood. Tyler's b-day was this week, Post to come! and Clara turns one Saturday! Ahh! I can't believe it! We're having a little party for her tomorrow night at the park, so I better get to baking!=)

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 ...
