Home for Christmas!

 We offically had the longest flight everrr going to Utah for Christmas! Our flight from Minot was delayed, which in turn made us miss our connecting flight.... then we waited in line for an hour and a half to talk to someone only to tell us that the later flight was booked and they could only get us home the next day if we flew through San Diego.... they sent us to Southwest where there were only 2 seats yet... I had a friend with me, who thankfully knocked some sense into me... Haha. Needless to say, we made it there late Wednesday night and we were exhausted! I'm so glad we made it though because the Salt Lake Airport ending up closing all day Thursday due to weather! Uggghhhhh... I realy hate flying sometimes. The girls were awesome though!
 We spent the next few days relaxing with the Grandma's and cousins, getting my hair done, and doing a lot of nothing! It was awesome! 
 We went to Candace's game Friday and the girls just LOVE the cheerleaders! It's hilarious.
 The girls had a blast playing in all of the snow! Lucy and Blake stayed out there for hours!
Saturday night the Crosland's took us to see The Piano Guys. It was Amazing! Too bad Tyler missed it- he went down to Vegas with my brother Shawn to go to Frontsight again. They had a great time and he finally got in late Saturday night!
The concert was phenomenal! Really wishing I wouldn't have quit in sixth grade... 
 Love these crazies!
 Sunday we went to Luke & Amy's ward! Luke spoke and the girls were on Cloud 9 sitting by their cousins!
Sunday night was the annual Bradford family party- it was at my mom's this year.
 Lucy just loves cute Ava!
 Tyler looks thrilled....
 Santa of course came! He wasn't nearly as friendly as last years Santa (thankfully and unthankfully....)
 Clara obviously loooovvveeeddd Santa.
 Lucy was SO excited to see him. She wouldn't sit on Santa's lap at the mall because she kept saying she was just going to see Santa at Grandma Carrie's house. She was finally able to tell him all about those Frozen Dolls, Merida dress up and Bow n' Arrow! Phewf!
 Clara did finally pose with Santa- yay!
 We did a little Nativity- thanks to Bonnie's awesome Costumes, and Lucy sang 'Away in a Manger'. She was wanting to do a solo and was so excited to sing for everyone. Clara was the cutest Angel up on the couch!
 My cute Grandpa Bradford.
Cheryl and Kyle were able to come up from Midway and say hi, and Co Co dropped by. Sure love my fam!
 Monday morning I went with Jessi to get an MRI up at the U. Poor girl had to have the drink of death before she could go in-- it only took her about 3 hours to drink barely half of it, and throwing up a few times- poor thing! They finally caved and let her get it done without having drunk it all. Ugh! She's a trooper!
 Monday night we were able to go to Zoo lights with Bonnie, Amy, and the kids! They loved it! But I wish we could have seen more animals! They were all too cold...
Christmas Eve morning we met up with a bunch of our friends for Breakfast at Granny Annie's. We had to split up into two tables and got smart and put all the men at one table, and us girls at another! We sure miss these cute humans!

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 ...
