Cousin Lovin' and Summer Fun!

We had SO much fun playing with cousins in Utah!
We went to the Dinosaur Park up in Ogden...
 Had lots of fun playing in Grandma Carrie's backyard...
Had a blast playing with Candace and Sam...
 Had a fabulous day at Cherry Hill!- and even got to see my cousin Jackie! Perfect timing!
 Clara saw her first movie ever in theatres! Monsters University! All I kept hearing was... "It's so funny mom!"
 We headed down to Lindon to see our cute cousins, Winnie, Nash, Ava, Brooke, and Jade
 ate really good food! Settebello's... Yum!!
 Played on lots of playgrounds! Mainly this one at Farmington station actually! Haha
 Got to see some of my besties- Haley, Megan, Paige, and Heather! and we almost broke that bridge... Haha. I seriously love these girls to death!
and how cute are our kids? Kaiden, Sami, Lucy, Lily, and Clara! We missed Knox!
 Had a fun day shopping at the outlets with Amy, and then playing at their house all night! 
 We spent Saturday morning out at the Farm where we all got to ride! Thanks to Amy & Jeff! These girls LOVE the horses, mainly Rio, the pony!
 Yes this is a totally random picture- but just look at how fresh, clean, organized, and well stocked this store is! It's like a miracle... if you could see our Wal Mart... I seriously cringe every single time I walk through the doors... Awesome grocery stores probably goes at the top of things I miss from Utah! Ridiculous really...
 My brother built a swing in my parents back yard which the girls were obsessed with! Grandpa entertained them a LOT! We are sure glad he works from home when we go to visit! They go upstairs and visit him a lot during working hours! Haha. I heard quite a few, "What you doing Grandpa?" from Clara everyday!
 My dad is the cutest grandpa- the girls sang LOTS of songs with him, we heard LOTS of stories, and of course watched him fall asleep during church- there are OH so many Kerry-isms we'll have to go over one day. We're lucky to have him!
 We had so much fun going to nursery with Grandma Carrie, and the girls loved exploring in the back yard at Grandma's house. That is the one thing making me want a house- a yard!
 Monday morning started the mini cheer clinic! Lucy and Blake had a blast! Crazy to think next year Clara can do it! 
Monday afternoon Amy watched the girls for me while I went to lunch with my mom, and did some quick shopping! It's always nice to have a little break! Especially with Tyler not with us! That night we went to a fun Family night at Farmington Station with the Crosland clan! We got faces painted, lots of games, LOTS of sweating, and Lucy even sang over the microphone to everyone! She's a riot!
 Clara didn't want her face painted, so she got this heart on her arm instead- she was obsessed the whole night!
 We had another yummy dinner at Settebello and watched the girls dance out front on the grass for a while afterward! Lucy loves loves to be the center of attention.... Hmmm... wonder where she gets that from? Haha!
 Lucy ended up sleeping with me almost the whole time we stayed at my mom's. She was so cute, and I loved having a little snuggle buddy to curl up to once I got into bed! She really is so sweet!
Clara kept trying to get in on the cheerleading thing, but would never stay- she is so fiesty!
 Tuesday we went to Surf n' Swim with Bonnie and Jessi! Anywhere there's water my girls are happy so we had a ball!
 Clara has also been working on her 'thumbs up'... but mainly she just sticks up her pointer finger. It's awesome!
 We had a yummy dinner at Cafe Rio that night- again... and ended up setting out blankets for the parade that night at like 12:45... We are pretty die hard apparently!
 Cheryl flew in on the 3rd! Yipee! We had a big family lunch at Zupas, spent the afternoon playing at my mom's with everyone, then went to see Despicable Me 2! Clara again thought it was hilarious, while Lucy was a little scared.... those two. Seriously! But after the movie we finally got to go pick up Dad from the airport! We were so happy to finally see Tyler after over 2 weeks! Sheesh!
We had a fun dinner at Chili's with his family, then we ditched the kids and headed up to see the Eaglewood Fireworks!
 We got to hang out and chat with cute Michelle and Marcus before we spent the night in a hotel in Salt Lake- Tyler opted to get a hotel rather than sleep at one of our parents houses. Weird! Men...

Up next... Kaysville 4th! The Best!

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 ...
