Utah: Baby Logan, Guns, Cheerleading, and more!


 Yay yay! The reason I decided to stay in Utah an extra week was because I was REALLLYYY hoping this little guy was born while I was there! Luckily little Logan was born October 11th, and I got almost a full week to see his cute little face! Amy is super woman! It's crazy that Blake and Lucy are the same age, as are Clara and Callie... and here she is with another one! I feel so not ready for another baby! Haha. Someday- but he is the cutest little guy, and Christmas seems wayyyy to far away! 
I didn't get to meet him until Sunday, but was able to literally sit and hold him for like 3 hours on Sunday. Ah, he's the cutest Maybe someday I'll have a boy!?
Ah, man he's cute!

In other news, while I was in Utah Tyler flew down to Vegas to spend the weekend with his dad at Frontsight to do a tactical hand-gun training course! They spent 4 days down there, and Ty had the time of his life, and already is wanting to plan another trip! I'm so glad he got to go! It definitely helped break up our long trip, and he has been dying to go for forever!

As of us, we had an awesome last week in Utah- I met up with these cute girls Monday afternoon for lunch and letting the kids play--
 We spent the afternoon playing at Grandma Bonnie's and TOTALLY wore the kids out- I think after over a week and half being away from home the were SPENT. But we ended the night at Chick fil'A anyway! 
 Tuesday morning I got up and ran for the first time after the race... and I reallllllyyy like utah in the fall. that's all.
 Lucy was literally worn out. She played herself sick and ended up sleeping from about 10am-past 3pm on Tuesday! She has actually done this the last couple times we've visited, I really think she just plays and plays and plays until she seriously crashes! She woke up feeling MUCH better, but even after she woke up she wanted to stay home with Grandpa while my mom and I left to run some errands!
 I ended up meeting cute Michelle and Emily that night for dinner and a little late night Target run- I seriously love these girls.
 Tuesday morning I met up with cute Jessi and Bonnie to go to the Temple and lunch. Ahhh... it was so nice to ditch the girlies and spend time with two of my favorite women!
We ended up at the Davis game Wednesday night to watch Candace cheer... Lucy found one of my old uniforms out and wanted to wear it and bring my old poms- she was looking awesome! Haha!
 Lucy was SO excited watching the girls, and then Candace's coach came over and asked Lucy if she wanted to go cheer with the girls! She of course said yes and ran right down there! She got a little nervous at first, but by the middle of the 1st quarter she was out there with them!
 Candace's top girl was actually out of town, so every time they stunted, they put Lucy up! She was seriously on CLOUD nine! Holy cow! The girl was born for the spotlight!
 She had SO much fun, and seriously cheered the entire game! I cannot believe she lasted that long, but she was out there for about 2 1/2 hours! Haha! So proud of this little cutie!
 Thursday we spent some more time with this cute guy!

 and said our goodbye's to the Crosland gang. I went for one more Utah run,finished up packing and had one last 'Herbert' story from Grandpa around the fire and got ready to head out!
 We woke up bright and early to head to the airport and I don't think I've ever been so tired in my life! Haha. The girls are great on the plane, but we had another 3 hr layover in Denver. We had a long and delicious breakfast, following which Lucy RAN into a pole. If i had a nickel for every time this has happened... Haha... But seriously. Her Lip was HUGE and we even iced it quite a bit! 
Needless to say we were all exhausted by the end of that layover and all crashed on the last leg home!
We made it home alive and well and SOOO excited to see daddy! It was definitely an exhausting trip home, but only because I was so worn out from the trip! Can't wait to go back for Christmas! ;-)

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 ...
