September

Seeing as it's the middle of November... I'm only 2 months behind! So we're going to make this snappy! But really... September was like a dreamy month! We were just so happy to be home, had so much fun with our friends, and the weather was just so dreamy!
Cutie Clara started Joy School September 10th! She's going with her cute friends Ethan, Luke, and Lexi. It has been so fun, and she loves it. I was just planning on keeping her home this year, but it's been nice for her to still get out of the house and it's been fun to have them all at my house every once in a while too. She was SO excited to go! I can't believe my baby is old enough to go to school!

2 days before school started she poked her own eye with a fake bow n arrow... Nice...
We went to our first  Minot State game.... Goooo Beavers! Even though they were killed, and the cheerleaders were the worst I've ever seen. It was so much fun!
Kami, Matt, Karen, Quin, Mark, Jaymie, and us.
A few too cold soccer games where I hung out in the car with the littles!

a bunch of long runs! 
We started to get unpacked finally.... and Clara's been doing lots of gymnastics with mom! She goes to about 4 classes a week with me, and prides herself on being the best/fastest/first in line. It's sort of hilarious. I love her and Georgia! Clara's also joined Lucy's little pre-team gymnastics class, that somehow I'm also coaching. 
Lulu's been loving school, and mainly misses eating at Panera for lunch... Hahaha! We made it there for dinner one night to satisfy her craving! ;-)
Clara's the ballet queen! I super duper love her!
We pumpkin patched.
Clara got a big bike and spent her days being adorable and wanting to follow caterpillars.
peaches. yum.
Tyler and I were in charge of our ward Fall Festival... and the Halloween party. Eeek! But they both went well!
Had some gorgeous long morning runs with my friend Tonya!
watched Candace on tv.....
Knee socks made their debut. 
Lots of gorgeous autumn morning walks!
Lots of bike rides to our secret park!
Love the leaves falling!
Lots of fun swimming in our pool! 
and I wash lunch tables once a month and get to eat lunch with my little Lucy. Oh i love the world of kindergarten!
More posts to come! Life is good.

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 ...
