Carly Crosland

Tonight we were able to go to dinner with a few of my cute friends! It was so good to see them- because I never get to! We are usually with Ty's friends, so it was nice to switch things up for a change! They are all so cute and we had a great dinner at PF Changs in Salt lake!! Megan, Me, Paige, Tiffany, and Heather!

Merry Christmas! Ours was fabulous... We were up in Kaysville from Tuesday to Sunday... I swear it felt like we moved home, but it was so nice to just hang out and spend time with both of our families. We got to meet our second cute niece, Macey! Ben and Carrie flew in on Tuesday, so it was fun to see them, and little Cody and Macey of course! We spent Christmas Eve at the Croslands, and most of Christmas day with my family so it was perfect! Here are just a few pictures from the festivities!! Jessi with her David Archuleta signature! Sweet!! My brother Shawn, and his cute wife Melissa The Larsen Family-- Amy, Luke, and our cute niece Blake! Me and my cute mom- I know I look like a balloon! Me and Cheryl- perhaps we shouldn't take pictures this early in the morning? Me and Ty.... and the doll our little girl got! I love Belle! Ty and cute macey. Tyler again... I love his bed head! Cody and Macey!! Blake and Macey!! Cody and his Dad, Ben. The little girls with Santa! Tyler and...

Yay for me and Tyler!! We both just finished our last final... oh what a wonderful feeling! And since I have no idea when I'm going back to school I'm loving the fact that I am done! Too bad Ty has to go back in a couple weeks! Now I get to relax, enjoy the holidays, and after that all I have is finishing out my cheer competition season and getting all the baby stuff ready! I'm excited for nothing in January! (except for the fact that I will be getting huge!!- Random people tell me all the time that I look like I'm ready to pop... haha.. they all look like they feel so bad for me, I really do feel awesome though, just BIG!!) Another bonus.. It's snowing!!! I love the snow... I really do. Tyler hates it- more than anything. We're off to an ugly sweater party tonight for Ty's work- hopefully I'll have some great pics to post! Did I mention we're done with school?

Accomplishments of this week: #1. Survived our first competition on Saturday at Alta High! Definately an eye opener for my girls! Makes me realize how much I love competition and coaching--and how much we need to work on! =) #2. Survived today's competition. One of my girls was unable to compete as of like 2 hours before competition- one of our alternates stepped in- a girl got dropped on her head hard core during warm up (honestly the most embarassing thing ever for a coach- wow.)--if it wasn't during a warm up the wrath of Carly would have come out on my girls, good thing it was warm up-- so therefore a girl competed with blurry vision, and no body died during their competition. PHEW. #3. Almost done with school- but will be on Thursday. Then nothing but bliss over the holidays, and getting fatter in January, until POP here comes baby Lucy in February! We're almost there! Yay. P.S. Any advice on car seat buying? I have a choice between the Graco snugride or safeseat, and...

So I have been having this 'moment' lately that it is truly terrifying- yet also very exciting that I really am going to have a baby in 2 months! Yes- only 2 months left. There was the cutest little girl at one of my girls basketball games the other night, among many other little things- but I still cannot really believe- it just doesnt seem real yet that me and Ty will really have our own daughter soon! I swear I was just in 4 th grade playing house and pretending to have kids-- I don't feel old enough. and I am SO scared of actually going into labor and having the baby-- Oh i am so scared. I can't tell you how excited I am to be a mom, it really is all I have wanted to be since I was a little girl- but I am a little nervous for the day to come! I don't feel at all adequate or qualified. It's just weird to feel this little one jumping- yes jumping and bouncing off the walls of my uterus and to think she will be here so soon! Tyler is going to be the cutest l...

Well... Our Thanksgiving was rather uneventful. Tyler was a true champ and hung out with my family ALL weekend! His parents and Jessi went to go see Ben, Carrie, and Cody in Washington so they weren't around, so our time which is normally split up between the two families was all dedicated to mine. Poor kid- haha. We drove up there Wednesday night and weren't back here until late last night! We had a nice weekend though- we really just hung out all weekend and didn't do much. Friday night we went to dinner with Porter and Erika and got treated like royalty. Haha- seriously we had the best waiter we have ever had in our whole lives! Porter told our waiter- who was Russian- that Tyler was rich, and I think the guy must have believed him because he gave us great service- perhaps in hope of a great tip? It was pretty funny. Saturday was definately the highlight of the weekend though- starting about 5 years ago my dad bought this cowboy christmas CD and at first all of us Brock ...

Well this past week was full of fun and eventful things! Highlight #1: Porter and Erika finally got hitched- yay! They started dating when me and Tyler did, so we are glad they finally did it! They had their dinner last night, and everything else today. We were able to attend their sealing- and their sealer was so cute and funny. I'll be honest- I've been to some weddings where the sealer just kept on talking for like ages- this guy gave great advice, was funny, and fairly quick. Perfect! Here are some pics from the wedding festivites: At the wedding dinner--Tyler loving my growing belly. I swear I am just huge! Us and the happy couple- I look like a giant next to cute Erika! The 'boys'. Casey, Drew, Nate, Jake, Ty, Porter, Quinn, Brad, and Blair Me and Nate's belly's... he thought he was as big as me.. come on! Coming out- her dress was absolutely gorgeous. Probably my favorite dress I have seen ever! Ty just saving the steps for the photographer... Cute Cake--...
