Bear-naked Lake

Brock Family Bear Lake: July 5-8, 2013

 We've been going up to Bear Lake every year since I was a baby- it really is one of my favorite places! I wish we could have stayed longer, but we had an awesome weekend! We stopped on the way up to eat at one of my favorite places- Maddox. I think I could eat their Raspberry butter for days....
 Grandma bought the kiddos some matching jammies- the cutest!
Grandpa is the best story teller!
Saturday we spent the day on the lake, and it was crazy to have my WHOLE immediate family on the boat at once! Whaatt!? I mean we were all together at Christmas, but it just seemed so much more intimate. It was so fun to sit on the bow of the boat with all four of my siblings in the middle of the lake and just talk and relax. I really do love my family more than anything in the world and it was so fun just to be together! No one brought any friends or anything either- it was just us this whole trip! So fun!
The original Brock clan: Kyle, Carrie, Kerry, Shawn, Candace, Cheryl, and me (Carly)
still can't believe we're all grown up! 

we think we're so funny.



Clara loved the boat and stayed on ALL day! She loved riding the tube too!

and of course we got yummy Raspberry shakes with dinner! The best.

We even got our own Firework show at Ideal Beach!
We had a lazy Sunday that was awesome! We had a devotional in the morning, took some pictures of the grandkids (to come....) and spent the day hanging out on the beach and out on the grass! The kids are in heaven with all of that open space!
Lucy was singing and dancing for us- Oh how I love this little cutie!
We flew Kites and I've seriously never seen Clara SO excited! She was thrilled! She held on to that kite the whole entire time, and absolutely LOVED it!
I absolutely love this picture. These girls are so cute!
Until next year....

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 ...
