Dad's Grad

So my cute dad graduated from college- again! I've been teasing him and Cheryl with that line all year. They both got their masters degrees this year. He did the Executive MBA Program at BYU for the last year and a half and is pretty awesome. He was in the top 5% of his class, and is Mr. Smarty pants. My dad grew up with no money, and barely graduated high school, and has since worked so hard for everything he has. I'm so proud to call him my dad! I love you dad! Bat wings and all!

My awesome in-laws took the girls and Cheryl, Candace, and I made a day of it! We went down a few hours early so we could do a few important things: pick up my race packet, drive by 63 East, eat J-Dawgs, and help Candace find all of her classes on Campus without sweating to death. The last one was a close call... 
But J-Dawgs. It's been a few years. Still SO good. I was reminiscing about wearing Green to school every wednesday just so I could get one of those suckers, chips, and a drink for like $2. Go UVU! ;-)
63 is looking better than ever. I still love that place! 4 1/2 years of our lives were there! Where we brought both babies home too. It was the best location, and I miss Orem sometimes! 
 Cute Candy. Can't believe she'll start college next week! Cutest BYU Cheerleader ever!
 Love my sisters.

We were pretty far back and out of the way, but still had the grouchiest lady sitting behind us. It was pretty hilarious. My mom's 5 adult children with no kids, and we still get yelled at... What gives?! It's a good thing Kyle didn't hear her... because well... if you know Kyle. It would have been pretty funny though.
 Since it was the summer graduation there weren't too many people graduating, so we were done pretty quick! Yipee! 
Gooooo Kerry!
 Things got a little awkward when my dad tried to kiss one of the guys just trying to shake his hand. Poor guy. Kidding, kidding. But such a great picture.
My adorable parents.
 The original Brock clan. So fun we could all be there! I sure do like these people.
 and Melissa too! ;-)
 How cute are my parents? The older I get, the more I realize how lucky I am to have two parents who are still so in love. They are the cutest! Go Carrie & Kerry!
 Love these two sisters of mine.
 We were able to all go to dinner afterwards and have some quality fam time. Thanks for graduating dad! We should try to get together more often! ;-)

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 ...
