i like big tetons

We had SO much fun visiting Celeste and her kids in Victor! We got in late Sunday night, and the kids woke up Monday morning so excited to play with Anson and Norah! We grabbed some lunch on the way out of town and headed into Teton National Park! We ate our lunch at Jenny Lake and the kids had a blast. Lucy wanted to swim immediately, so she had the time of her life swimming in her underwear in the freezing cold beautiful water! The water is SO clear, and it really is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been in my entire life. It was pretty amazing!
 We had a couple visitors for lunch that were not scared of us in the slightest.
I love her. 
 
 
 
the water is so clear it's amazing!
 The pictures speak for themselves. It's just beautiful.
after we swam we went on a little hike. I promised Lucy that the next time we come back she can hike to the very top of this rock! Here's to hoping that happens!
 they really are just the ugliest mountains ever..... ah! I was dying the whole time we were there. 
When the kids started melting down we headed into Jackson Hole to check out the shops and get some dinner! 
 We had a blast in the cutest toy store, but as soon as we got to the candy store all hell broke loose! Haha. Clara was exhausted and had the melt down of the century while I was checking out at the store. I ended up leaving all of my stuff and taking her outside, then hurried back in to buy the goods. Somehow in my rush I ended up with 100 lbs of salt water taffy for my mom, among a million other little things and spent $25 on candy. Dangit Clara! Haha. OH well. We bailed on the shops and headed to get some food! We had some really good food at the Brewery there- I can't even remember the name, but it was delightful! We had some pretty exhausted kids, so we managed to get the kids home and Celeste and I stayed up late to watch a movie. So nice to have some fun friend time! Minus all those crazy kids! Haha. We 'slept in' the next morning and had breakfast at the best bakery ever in Driggs. The kids had fun playing in their amazing backyard in the fort Taylor built for Anson.
We ate lunch that day in Driggs at Teton Thai and it was amazing! I'm still dreaming about those amazing noodles.
I sure love all of those cute kids! We headed back to Kaysville- a short 4 hour drive. Haha! It really did seem short. Our trip was amazing though. We're already planning our next trip back- just hoping one day we can get our husbands there as well! Celeste and Taylor have become some of our best friends in Minot, so it was so fun to see their beautiful home. 
We made it to Kaysville just in time to pack up for Lake Powell! Coming up next!

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 ...
