Fall Fun

September 2013

 "There's nothing quite like a girl and her dog..."
All day. Every day.
Sunday football: Welcome Fall!
 Lots of soccer and other shenanigans...
 From sleeping to soccer...
 to Ballet...
to storytime and cookie dates- our favorite Thursday activity!
 crazy park adventures!
 Playdates...
 and apples of course...
Finally hanging things up in Lucy's room after she broke a few frames like 6 months ago! Haha. This is where she spends just about every Clara's naptime. Quiet time in her room. This girl has the biggest imagination and could play by herself in her room for hours! I really hope she stays little forever. Sigh...
 a fun 'movie in the park' night with friends...
 more soccer games with her team!
Lucy, Makenna, Alize, then Eva, Hailey, and Olivia
 surviving all of my long runs with lazy Saturday afternoons followed by a garage BBQ!
 bumming a ride with Clara... 
 watching the girls play 24/7. I sure love these two. They are non stop that's for sure!
Fun at the zoo with friends!
 Clara had been having me change her diaper every. single. time. she. peed. or. farted. at. all. in. her. diaper.
It was exhausted.
I spent some time with her one night and after I told her she could have a tootsie roll if she went potty, she literally pinched one out and pooped right then and there. TMI? Sorry. This girl....
 Lucy scored a few more goals- a couple may have been after half time started, or by strategically picking up the ball and placing it where she would then like to kick it... but hey, a goal's a goal right!?
 I made the most amaazzzziiinnngg fresh peach pie, and added some raspberries.
 and then proceeded to eat it all. literally.
followed by fun walks after school to the park to play... I'm sure going to miss these autumn days! It's already a high of 40... with snow in the forecast. Sigh...
 sure love these cute girls and their friends.
counting our blessings!

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 ...
