Bozeman

We headed to Bozeman the weekend of Sept 25th! We planned to meet Tyler's parents there to make the switch with the boat! Unfortunately we only made it about 2 hours to Williston when the axel/wheel caught on fire on the boat trailer! Luckily the guy that flagged us over had a fire extinguisher in his truck and it was no big deal... but it was about that time when I hopped in the back seat and finally started a movie for the girls! Haha... After a few hour delay in Williston... taking the tire off... trying to find a shop to fix it... etc...  and not to mention we already got a pretty late start due to taking Clara to the doctor for her croupy cough... etc... anyway. no one could fix it, and Tyler's parents were already on their way to Bozeman, the girls were SO excited to see them, and they had already paid for the VRBO house we were staying in... so you know, we ditched the boat at a guy Tyler knew's shop, and headed on! Cafe Rio in Billings made everything better after a long day in the car!
The girls were SO excited to see Grandma Bonnie and Papa Jeff, and it honestly was so worth it just to have Saturday with them! We headed out to a yummy breakfast Saturday morning, and did a little wandering around-- I mean shopping! Haha. With 2 little girls and Tyler and Jeff-- that's about what it is, but I love them. 

We then headed up to the mountain to Hyalite reservoir we discovered last year when we were there! The leaves were incredible, and the girls had so much fun playing in the water and skipping rocks!
31 weeks!

We headed a little lower down the canyon to find another spot to get out and play. 
I wish I had a video of me trying to do this... SO comical. I'm going to try and get one last bump handstand pic before I deliver. I might need someone to hold my legs though... Haha!
Clara maybe fell in right after this picture was taken.... so funny!
We got Clara changed and headed into town for some Ice cream, shop browsing, and Pizza at our favorite McKenzie River Pizza! The girls even got the cutest purses from Grandma Bonnie! They were pretty excited to be matching with us! We had a pretty lazy evening walking to the park by our cute little house, watching football, and playing outside. It was so fun to spend the weekend with Grandma and Papa! Thank you!
We headed out Sunday morning and caught a great view of the Blood moon as we were pulling back into Minot!

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 ...
