Farewell Utah

Like 6 new posts below! So just keep going back if you want to catch up! =)


We only had a few days left in Utah! Saturday I went to my second class down at Prana Yoga at Station Park. Seriously- amazing. It was so fun to be in an actual Yoga studio for the first time, and the classes were amazing. I got to go 3 times while I was there, and you can guarantee I'll be back the next time we're in Utah! That day we went up to eat at the Bun Basket, and make a visit to the animal store (Toy Store... but where we get all of our Schleich toys!)
After lunch we hung out at the Croslands all night where we had one last big Family dinner. Can I just say, I keep hearing horror In-law stories, and mine are the absolute best. We have SUCH a good time with both families while we are in Utah, and the girls are so luck to have so many people that love and care about them. It's pretty awesome.
Of course while I'm gone it gets so cold that they cancel Church and school! Haha. During the big 'Polar Vortex' it gone down to -60 with wind chill pretty much all of Sunday, and Monday! Brrrrrr! Poor Tyler was stuck inside all alone! But at least he was safe and warm!
These all say -54 with windchill and different times throughout the day! Holy crap!
 We on the other hand still had church, and the girls were so excited to FINALLY go to Primary! Haha. It was Grandma's last week in nursery and Clara got to go with, and Lucy brought home a CTR ring for graduating from Sunbeams! 
 Bonnie babysat for me one more time so my mom and I could go up skiing one last time on Monday! It was seriously the most perfect day, and the most beautiful I've ever seen up there. Killer. Epic. Loved it. and Most definitely my favorite place in the world!
It was a pretty awesome day! Thanks momma!
We headed home early to grab the girls and headed down to Midway to see the Ice Castles! I thought the girls would love them because they are just like Elsa's castle, but they both fell asleep on the way there and were pretty ornery the whole time. Haha- such is life right? We still made it fun!
 This is the best pic.... Haha!
But at least the girls were cute at dinner afterward! Hehe
 Shawn & Mel stopped by that night to say Goodbye and we had a tub party with all of the little hooligans.
 We flew out on Tuesday! I snuck in one more Yoga class I had left on my card which was amazing, and we stopped by the Croslands to say goodbye before we headed to the airport! We got there in pretty good time and had enough time to grab Cafe Rio one more time at the Airport! Wahoo!
 Our flight to Denver went great and from there it turns out Jaymie and her 5 kids were on our flight to Minot! We made quite the spectacle being two single moms with 7 kids, but it was so nice to have a friend to chat with and catch up with on the flight home! Flying with your bestie is always better!
 We made it home alive, well, and exhausted! Welcome January!

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 ...
