As of late... December style!

December was a whirlwind... so I'll get through this quick! Lucy got her Pre-school pictures back. I'm still in denial she will be 5 next month! Tear...
The first couple weeks of December were COOOLLLDDD to say the least! But we bundled up, and life went on! We had a fun day swimming for Julia and Georgia's birthdays! I'm sure we'll be there a bunch this winter!
 Yup that's -42 you see. Brrrr! And the inside of all the doors and windows look like this!
 Lucy had pajama day at school! And our elf brought the girls some badly needed PJ's! That night we got to stay up late and make our gingerbread house! 
 There were many a dance parties in our Kitchen...
 more yoga of course. Trying to get back in the swing of things!
 We sure love these girls!
 Clara's taken up the extremely meticulous task of folding all of the dish towels!
We had a fabulous girls night at Jaymie's. Heidi made us all of her amazing desserts and candy! So good, and so fun!
 Lucy's preschool went to the mall to meet Santa, read books at Barnes & Noble, and play on the new play place! She was OH so excited! 
Neither of them would sit on his lap, but they all had to test out Santa's beard! He's the real deal!
 Clara decided in the last couple months that she LOVES gymnastics! She is seriously obsessed! Before she wouldn't let the teacher help her with anything- probably didn't help that I taught the class one week! Haha. But she has finally come around and loves Charlie! She counts down every week to gymnastics day!
 We had Tyler's work dinner down in Bismarck Friday night. One of his boss's, Chase, flew in- and we had an amazing dinner!
 We had our annual sugar cookie party! Clara was a much better helper than Lucy- but then again, Clara doesn't really entertain herself very well so she always ends up helping me while Lucy plays in her own world! Haha. I sure love these two!
 We had a fun Sunday night delivering all of these cookies! 
 and I had to throw this in... Clara's favorite place. Watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.... That girl. She's a handful! Love her!
 For our ward party they did a 'Jerusaleum' theme. The girls dressed up as Angels! (Meaning I didn't want to try and put together towels and robes, etc... haha. They both had white dresses and wings! Easy!) Lucy got to go up on stage at the last second to be one of the Angels in the Nativity. She was SO excited to say the least....
Cute Georgia & Clara
Sunday morning we got to go to a Rest home and do the Nativity again. Lucy wanted to be an Angel again. All the cute old people loved her. We will have to go back for sure!
 Next stop: Utah!

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 ...
