Christmas lights, and cousin fun!

Monday night Bonnie, Amy and I were feeling Brave... so we made a plan to meet up at 5 o'clock sharp at City Creek to beat the crowds to Temple Square! We got there on time-ish, but Lucy and Clara had just woken up and were so ornery! We made it over eventually and had a great time, even thought it was a bit chaotic! You have to see the lights at temple square at least once!
Clara wouldn't get out of her stroller for any type of picture, so this is what you get. Haha!
We met up with the whole Crosland fam for Dinner at Pizza Factory after. Their breadsticks are my favorite things ever!

Earlier that day we had met up with my mom's two besties- Coleen and Kathy for a yummy lunch at Plates and Palates. My Favorite! And I just love these women!
I love little Clara. Her latest thing is saying, "Poop!" All the time. She thinks it's hilarious! "I love you... poop!" or, "I'm sorry Poop!!" 
More Christmas tree Yoga was to be done... Oh how I wish I was closer to a nice studio. Someday!
Tuesday/New Years Eve Amy watched my girls so I could go skiing with my Mom, and Dad. Shawn and Melissa were up there as well, and we all met up for lunch. It was pretty awesome!
Snowbasin has kind of a crappy view of the valley....
So Handstanding in snowboots is harder than it looks! Haha!
New Years Eve I sent my mom and dad off to a party with their friends and had a hot date with these two cute girls! It was actually so nice to just sit and relax after the crazy couple of weeks we had had!
They went to bed early, and I had a hot date with 'I am Britney Jean' on the E channel... Nice!!
These two bums spent quite a bit of time in these corners while we were at my mom's... Haha. Little troublemakers!
This is the pose that Lucy makes every time the "Do you want to build a Snowman?" Song comes on from frozen- It's from the "Hang in their Joan!" part... she is a riot.
The girls stayed home with Grandma while Candace and I ran down to City Creek new years day. I wanted to exchange Lucy's dress up at the Disney store, and came home with Anna! Elsa was all sold out, but Clara still thinks her blue sparkly Cinderella costume is the same as Elsa... They were in heaven!
Thursday we made the tour of Davis County! Haha. We met Michelle and her cute girls at McDonalds to play, then went over to her house after to hang out. We stopped by Amy's house while we were right there too. Lucy loves cute Izzy! We sure miss them in Minot!
After Amy's we headed back to the Croslands to see Uncle Kevin! The girls were SO excited to see him again. They sat and sang him songs, and made him play with them forever. 
Clara surprised us all by singing, "I love to see the Temple" from start to finish for everyone! She loves to sing!
I met up with my cute friends Heather, Paige, and Megan for dinner that night. So fun to see these cute girls.
I had to throw in that whenever Tyler is gone Lucy sleeps with me. She is the best little snuggler, and SUCH a deep sleeper! I love having someone to keep me warm downstairs!
She also drew this cute picture of my mom! Haha. I just love her!
Friday afternoon we were able to meet up with Grandma Bonnie for lunch!
Afterwards I ran down to Station Park to help Amy with some after Christmas clearance shopping! Because you can't do something like that alone! Haha!

That night I babysat Amy's kids so her and Luke could go out! I sure love these cute kids. Lucy woke up the next morning saying, "That was Awesome mom!" I was like what was awesome? "Oh, just everything yesterday! Playing with my cousins, the dance party, coloring, popcorn!" She is just so happy to be with her cute cousins. and Logan was an Angel baby of course! He is just the sweetest thing ever! I'm convinced I need a boy someday, even though they scare the crap out of me. Haha!

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 ...
