Cher-bear fun, the fair, and a race

Co-Co's best photo bomb ever...
 It was so nice to have Cheryl here. I hadn't seen her since Christmas... tear! She actually got to stay longer than like 5 days, and was here for 10! Wahoo. We are only 17 months apart, cheered together for 2 years in high school, and  pretty much did everything together.  It's sad we now live so far apart!

Monday we were able to escape to her in-laws home they own in Midway for a night with my mom and Coleen. It was so short, but so needed! It was so good just to get away and be able to relax and talk. Amy had my girls-- bless you Amy! We did some shopping at the outlets, had dinner at Spin City cafe, stayed up late eating candy, talking and doing yoga.... well I did yoga. They have the most amazing view out their back deck. We slept in, I had the most gorgeous run ever up by Soldier Hollow and through Midway. It was awesome!
 Seriously so gorgeous.

And I had the best time hope surprise a couple weeks ago. How freaking cute is Lucy at 6 months old? I die. And here she is exactly 5 years later... The same. Oh I love her!
 cutie Clara has come into my bed super early in the morning almost every night since we've been staying at my mom's. I don't even mind. I love her!
 Lucy got to see my favorite Dentist Dr. Zeh here in Layton-- I am still so paranoid about her teeth! She did a great job getting them cleaned and im hoping she's not scared for life, and she seems to do ok! Phew!
 The Brock girls all were able to do a session at the Salt Lake Temple on Wednesday and it was amazing. For some idiotic reason this was my first time doing an endowment session there, and it was amazing. I could have stayed there for hours just looking at all of the gorgeous artwork, etc... It was such a neat experience and I'm so glad we got to go!
 We had Bruges after... and it was pretty freaking amazing.
 Thursday we went to the Davis County Fair with the Crosland girls!
 I just love these two.
 It was SO hot, but the girls were in heaven!
Friday we had my dad's MBA graduation-- post to come, and Saturday was the Hobblecreek Half Marathon. I went down with my dad and his friend Doug- but the speedy men don't run with me. It is my favorite race though! It was a little too hot at the end, but I had a better race than I thought and I really wanted to beat 1:45 (I ran a 1:47 last year at this same race) and I came in at 1:44:41. I was cutting it close, but so glad I reached my goal, and got a new P.R.
 Me, Dad, Doug, and Bill. I should really get more running friends. Haha....
I still can't believe summer is basically over. I'm so depressed... I just love the sunshine so much. I'm usually ready for Fall, but this year... Not so much. Maybe because I have to move again... Lucy starts Kindergarten... it will be freezing in no time. ugh! I just wish it was longer! Someday I'll live in a warm climate... mark my words! 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 ...
