A quick summer trip to Utah!


 We ended up taking a super spontaneous quick trip to Utah in August! I think I just realized I wouldn't be able to go in the Fall like I normally do-- not running the marathon this year, due to sweet little baby cookin' in my belly! So we pretty much packed our bags the day before and headed out on Tuesday morning! We did the trip all in one day both directions this time, and the girls did awesome! 
I love all these cute girls watching the Davis County rodeo! Blake and Callie did awesome Muttin bustin', ribbon pulling, and stick horse barrel racing! Cutest!

It was super low-key and we had a fun day swimming at Surf n' swim with Grandma Carrie and the Brock grandkids! We had a little BBQ that night and Clara attempted to ride her bike without training wheels-- and then got so mad she couldn't do it on her first try she took her helmet off and threw it.... AH! She is hilarious, but holy spit fire! I've never quite appreciated Lucy's non-competitive nature, and ability to just be happy and having fun wherever she is at, until this year when Clara became miss competitive and gets so frustrated if she can't do things perfectly! 
 Friday we headed down to Utah County to go swimming with my Aunt Andrea and cousin Angie and all of the cute cousins! Lucy and Clara are seriously awesome swimmers now, and it was so nice to just let them enjoy themselves without following them around the whole time! Lucy had so much fun with Nash, and Clara loved trying to keep up! I still can't believe her and Winnie are the same age- she's so tiny and cute!
We met Cheryl at the Scholastic book sale, which ended up being a huge waste... but then we got JCW's and that made up for everything. Best burgers ever.

Saturday morning we woke up and headed out to the farm! Aunt Amy is seriously the best ever and took the girls riding in the heat! We had fun playing with Blakey and Callie all afternoon!
 Saturday night my dad drug us to see Shaun the Sheep...and even though it was literally the worst movie I had ever seen in my life... Haha! The girls had a blast! And Here I am at 25 weeks! Grandpa Kerry is the cutest ever!
 Sunday we went to church with my fam, and cutie Clara's peach was finally ready! She had been watching that peach grow since June and was so excited to pick it! That little tree only gave about 6 peaches, but boy were they delicious!
We also hung out with Grandma Bonnie and Papa Jeff that night. Jeff just had his knee replaced, so the girls thought it was pretty cool to fill up his ice machine and check out his giant bruises!
 I finally made it to a yoga class Monday morning! It felt so good, and I was SOOOO sore for that next whole week. And it's a little harder to balance with a giant 25 week belly! I'm so looking forward to getting my strength back after baby is born!
 I went to lunch with Bonnie, Jessi, and Amy on Monday too! So nice just to chat and relax without all of our cute kiddos! Love these women.
 then Grandma Carrie took us all to get pedicures! The girls thought it was the coolest thing ever to get their toe nails painted!
 Tuesday Grandma Bonnie took us all to Cherry Hill and we had such a fun day in the sun with cousins! We sure miss living close to these guys!
It was a quick trip, but I'm still so glad we went! We made it home late Wednesday night just in time to have the weekend to get ready for 1st grade starting and moving! Ahhhh!

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 ...
