Easter Break

And we went to Utah again.
My sister was flying into Utah from Baltimore, and combined with grandma guilt... my mom said she would pay for my gas... So off we went!
We left Friday after school and made it to Bozeman! The girls really are such good travelers. We woke up 'early' and headed out for the rest of the journey. We have the best luck seeing animals! It was probably about 10am, and we saw 2 big Moose, and count them--- 1-2-3 wolves! I still couldn't believe it when I thought we saw 2, then another one came out of no where! So so cool! I know some people hate driving through West Yellowstone because of the windy roads, but it's always our favorite part of the drive. So excited to see grandma Carrie! (Grandma Bonnie was in Hawaii until Thursday, so we had to wait to see her!)
 Tyler always gets a little too much free time on his hands while we're away... #mustachemarch
It was Women's Conference Saturday night, so my cute dad took the girls to Chick Fil' A then to see the move Paddington. He's seriously a champion grandpa! Even with Clara going #2 in the chick fil a men's bathroom. What a man... what a man! ;-)
My mom and I went to dinner with Coco and watched it at home! So nice!
 The weather was SO nice, and Grandpa Brock finally got Lucy riding her bike without training wheels! She learned last summer, but didn't want to give up the training wheels. Tyler maybe told her that her training wheels got ran over, so she toughened up and tried it! Haha! So proud though! The girls had so much fun playing with cute Carter and Katelyn all week!
And we finally got to see Blake and Callie! They were sick over the weekend, so we finally got to meet up with them, Logan of course, and Amy & Jessi on Monday! We had a fun afternoon of playing at Castle Park, dinner at Chick Fil' A and playing at Amy's house.
 And Cheryl flew in Monday night, Yay!!
My cousin Angie came up with her kids, Nash and Winter, so we had another fun cousin day! These kids were all so funny wandering all over Station Park. Lucy is pretty certain Nash is the coolest person she knows. She totally idolizes him! They're the cutest ever. 
 I kept finding these Clara selfies all over me and Cheryl's phones. This might be my favorite one EVER though. Haha!
 I was on a mission to get Lucy some 'running shoes' and Cher wanted something, I can't even remember, but we all ended up in Park City Wednesday! With all of the kids. It went remarkably well actually! These kids are troopers!
 and i love my cute sisters! And mom of course! 
 Thursday I grabbed lunch with all of my 'mothers'. My mom, Coco, and Kath. Love these women.
 And I happened to be in town for Megan's birthday, so I caught up with all of my cute girlfriends on Frontrunner and headed downtown to the Naked Fish for her birthday dinner. So glad I got to see them! Paigey, me, Haley, Meg, and Heather.
 I made it to a couple of Yoga classes while in Utah too. So nice! 
Friday we met up with Michelle and her girls, and sweetest baby boy for lunch and to play! I so wish we still lived close. These girls are the cutest together!
 Lucy was in love with baby Owen!
 Cute Izzy and Lucy, and Ruby and Clara.
 Grandma Bonnie finally made it back, so we headed over to decorate eggs and play all afternoon!
 Blake had to run home and change so that they could be in their matching Rompers. So funny!
 That night we headed to Mandarin with my fam! Sooooo yummy.
 Saturday morning we got pedicures with the Brock girls and lunch! Thank you mama!
 and finally got to go see Rio!
 Thank you Papa and Amy! Always the girl's favorite part! Lucy can't wait to learn to ride for real this summer from Aunt Amy! That just means we have to commit to early wake up times when we're there this summer! We'll see how my little late sleeper does! ;-) 
 I'll do a separate post for Easter sunday!
We had to make it to Kneaders breakfast before Aunt Cheryl left!
 I love her.
 And the best part! Carrie got to Utah late Monday night, and we were leaving Tuesday afternoon, so Tuesday morning all the Crosland cousins got to play for a few hours! So fun to be able to all see each other!
 They really all had so much fun playing all day! We had to leave about 3, but they definitely got their time in while they could!
 My cute mom drove back with us and was seriously an angel! We made it to Bozeman Tuesday night, and Wednesday drove the rest of the way. But I was seriously so sick! I was so glad my mom was with me, or I think we really would have just spent the night in Billings. She took over driving for a few hours and I was able to get some sleep. Vacation hang over! But we made it home safe and sound! Thanks for a great trip Utah!

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 ...
