as of late..

We had a beautiful day down in Bismarck a couple weeks ago! We went down to babysit for the Temple go-ers this month, and used our zoo passes to get into the Bismarck zoo afterwards!
I had to stick in this pic of Ty holding Eleanor at the church- we were babysitting then and he totally got her to fall asleep. He looks good with a baby, yes?
We had a loooong week after Halloween! Lucy woke up with pink eye one morning and a bad cold, which she then passed on to Clara! We finally made it to the Doctor and I think the girls were just so excited to be out of the house!
We stopped by the park for a bit on the way home to get some fresh air- these days are fading fast! Tear- we had snow today. Which I love more than anything- I just love the outdoors!
yay for Halloween stuff on sale! And Lucy's cute drawing of her and Grandma- Holding hands of course.
We finally made it out of the house Friday to go swimming with some friends- I'm sure we'll be there a bunch this winter. And stayed up late watching the best movie everrr....
Lucy also graced us with her reciting the pledge of allegiance! I'm so proud!
I made it out of the house Saturday night to say goodbye to one of the Sister missionaries who has been in our ward for the last seven months! We made it Applebee's afterwards for 1/2 off appetizers- things get pretty crazy here in Minot! haha...
We enjoyed some of Grandpa's storytelling over facetime...
and had a few late nights with Clara while she was sick- she actually slept in our bed for the first time in her life! Crazy!
The cold is pretty much here- but nothing the girls can't handle! Haha...
and how we keep the kids quiet during lunch- I love love these little girls!
Clara is so funny. She loves baby Eleanor and was reading her stories after storytime this week. I love her. 
Yesterday was a crazy day! I was in charge of the food for our Relief Society activity, then we had a baptism at the church for the cutest girl who has become one of my friends here. It was such a neat experience to be there. It was followed by babysitting some of Lucy's cute friends. Needless to say, I'm so glad Jenny and I got to run in the morning! We ran through the cemetery just as the sun was coming up. There are always deer in there and they just stop and let you run by! I'm so glad it's still been semi-warm enough to warm! Life is good. Looking forward to Thanksgiving next week!

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 ...
