Jeremy had a race this weekend. It was a huge mud mess. He had to take off his goggles so he could see. When he got home his eyes were all red and swollen. He said that he was rubbing mud out of them all day. He ended up getting last he was high centered on one of the hills and then he kept spinning out everytime. Not a good race his uncle Lowell got first place.

The BIGGEST bubble I have ever seen

Sheri Becker who is the trustee of the hockey team brought these over for the girls and they love them. We had a good giggle over how funny they looked. Thanks Sheri
Visiting Great Grandma Buttars. I loved it when we walked in that Grandma held out her arms and wanted to hold Shayley. I think no matter how old you are there is nothing that will stop you from holding a new baby.
Ryley wanted to be big and burp the baby so I let her. I love the big girl grin on her face. I had to laugh she did such a good job that the baby spit up on her and she threw a fit. she said "AHHHH mom Shayley just puked on me." THen later that day she went to give Shayley a kiss and she spit up on her then too. It got on her face and she flipped out again. I had a nice chuckle over that one....

Shayey's Blessing

2009-04-29T09:29:00.000-07:00

We blessed Shayley on Sunday and it was a great day. She was dressed to the max. My Mom made her dress, Great Grandma Crossley made her sweater, Grandma Julie made her bracelet. She looked so cute and made it through the whole blessing with out crying...
Great Grandma Hillyard made the blanket. We are so lucky to have such talented Grandparents.
Thanks to Daddy for giving her such a great blessing. you are the best and we LOVE you!!!

Family Pictures

2009-04-21T15:42:00.000-07:00

A big shout out to family pictures. Oh how I love the times. If you only saw the picture 2 seconds before this one, you would see Ryley's finger in her nose, Brynly pouting because she is tired and doesn't know why we have to take a family picture, Shayley was screaming her head off because she was hungry, Jeremy telling the kids to look at the camera and I just sat there with a smile on my face and my fingers crossed hoping that we wont have to do this again.... Needless to say it all turned out and we have a family picture for the year.....
At this point it took all the kids had to smile. I look at this and am wondering who is holding the baby. It doesn't look like anyone is....

I just couldn't resist. If my little "grumpy bear" wasn't so cute I would probably go insane. And honestly she only cries when she is hungry. I really am enjoying her in my life. And here sisters are BIG helpers.

Finally Introducing.......

Shayley Crossley

Born March 30, 2009 @ 5:21 P.M.

Weighing in at 7 pounds 11 ounces

(I blame it on the Coke Slurpee's I had everyday)

All Stars

2009-03-20T11:13:00.000-07:00

As the head coach you choose from your team who gets to go to the All Star game of the North and then select players from the North play the South. Because we finished third in the state Jeremy got to coach the games. Yeah we won both games. Utah High School Hockey also chooses coaches to coach both games. It was awesome to see him do that and even better to have the teams he coached win. This is him and Kenzie (his younger brother) I had to take a picture because he is so much taller than Jeremy. He does have skates on but he is still quite a bit taller.

These are the kids that Jeremy picked to play They have also played with Jeremy the four years he's coached. They are all Seniors. There is Kenzie, Kyle Becker or Becker, Becker Tanton Jeppson, Chris Labrum, and Brandon Griffin. They did so good and it was fun to see them play one last time. We will miss you!!

If anyone is looking for something to do there is a game tonight for the Trappers @ 7:00 at the Eccles Ice Center. Should be fun!!!

Go CATS

Last night was our final HIgh School Hockey game. Such a bitter sweet thing. Knowing that another year is over but yet we will have our Daddy home more. This last 3 weeks have been really stressful. We have gone down to to Ogden, Bountiful, SLC, West Valley, and Kearns twice a week, except this week it was Wed, Thur and Fri. Needless to say everyone is tired. The guys played great and finished 2nd in the northern division. Its been quite the ride. I am lucky we get to go with Jeremy to the games. A big shout out goes to the 2008-2009 Sky View Hockey Team. Thanks for a great year!!! Hopefully now we can get our house ready for the baby......

Blogging Blues

2009-02-17T10:49:00.000-08:00

I have not been in the mood to blog. I always look to see when all of my friends last blogged and when it has been a while I say to myself "would you just write a blog" now I am saying it to myself. A couple of weekends ago me and Jeremy headed to Jackson BY OURSELVES NO KIDS for his hockey tournament. It was a blast. We didnt do anything just sat around and talked with the guys on the hockey team. I was glad that we got the chance to go and relax I needed a break, and to be honest the girls needed a break from their psycho Mom. That is the first time they have stayed over at someone elses house without Mom and Dad there. They did good and I think everyone survived.

Things are soooo crazy right now. It is playoffs for the high school team and all the games are in Ogden or further south. So right now we live in our car. This week we play Wed, Thurs, and Friday night @ 8:30 or later. Then if we win those games we will play on Sat @ 8:30 for the State Championship. It should be a good time!!! After that High School Hockey will be over. Jeremy will have his 2 games in March to play here (luckly) and then maybe we will have a life. I am hopeing that all of this will put me into labor (j/k but I wish). The girls are so good at the games so it is nice that we get to go with him.

I am finally realizing that my little Brynly is going to Kindergarten next year and to be honest my mommy bear is kicking in. I feel like she is too tinny, but she is sooo ready to go to school and be a big girl. Any good advice for me?

44 day until the baby comes YEAH!!!

For all those looking for something to do.....

Bring out the Xanex!!! Jeremy will be playing hockey this weekend on their Semi Pro team. Friday night the game is at 8:30 and then Saturday night @ 7:15 after the game Firehouse will be closing down to accommodate the team and fans. I think it is all you can eat for $6.50. They will be taking on the McCall Mountaineers. They play by NHL rules so if they start fighting they don't stop them until they fall on the ice and yes the gloves come off first usually. There are a couple of x-NHL guys on the team so they mean business. Jeremy said they are super nice guys but when its time to play they have their game faces on. He said the guys are HUGE!!! So skate fast and duck. We cant wait to see you our Dad play.

What kind of mother do you think I am?

2009-01-16T22:01:00.000-08:00

So this last weekend Jeremy was gone to Sun Valley for yet ANOTHER hockey trip. I am glad that he goes and gets some manly time. With all the women in his life I am sure that a little testosterone helps when possible. Anyways, the girls where dis trot without him here and for the life of everyone they would not sleep good unless they were in my bed. I am getting to the point where I cant sleep as good so I was bound and determined that they would stay in their beds and I could get some good sleep myself. The first night was a nightmare. They were up all together 6 times. So the next night before we settled down I asked them what I could do to help them stay in their beds, and to my surprise Brynly said and I quote" you can just give us sleeping medicine." Okay first of all how does she know about sleeping medicine and what kind of Mother does she think I am? After a Holy Cow and a chuckle I gave them sleeping medicine. JUST KIDDING I wouldn't do that. They didn't sleep any better and was in my bed again but I have to say it was nice to have them there and I didn't worry about them downstairs by themselves with the boogie man. I hate being alone and I creep myself out evertime that someone is in my house. I only received a few kicks in the back and one in the head. We are sure glad that Dad is home and with out too may bumps and bruises. Maybe next time I will take the sleeping medicine.

So Christmas was way fun this year. Both the girls had a ton of fun and loved every present they got. Of corse they were spoiled rotten and so was I. We are blessed to be able to have such great Christmas'. The girls are still young enough that we still get to sleep in. We got up about 8:30 it was so nice!!!! Hopefully next year will be the same.
Brynly got her American Doll. It's not a real American Doll. It is called "Our Generation" and they are much, much cheaper. She wanted one so bad. We were at Grandpa Jerry's and they gave her the doll clothes first and she asked "what am I going to do with these?" Well in the meantime her cousin Kayla opened her American doll and Brynly about fell out of her chair. She was so close to tears she wanted one so bad. She kept asking why Kayla got one and she didn't. Well when it was her turn to open another present it was the doll and she was sooo excited and it ended the trauma. Thanks to Grandpa and Grandma Crossley for making her wishes come true!
These are their Christmas dresses. I had fun curling their hair and making them all dolled up. I have such a great time dressing them alike. I am sorry but they are the cutest girls. Hopefully I can blow this picture up and when they get older I can tell them that there was a time in their lives that they did love each other.
This year was especially great our uncle Tyler came home from his mission in Mexico. It felt like we had waited so long to see him and now he is finally here. We can understand much of what he says he talks so fast and has accent. Ryley wouldnt talk to him for a few days and then one day she decided that he was okay and talked his ear off. She was 8 months old when he left. Brynly didn't skip a beat and for her it was like he never left. Welcome home Ty we missed you!!!!

So Thanksgiving was great fun... I know it is past and we are on to Christmas but I thought that I would write about how much fun we had over the Thanksgiving holiday. We had lunch at Jerry and Diane's and then we went shooting. Yes that is my little girl shooting a gun. We were able to go shopping the next morning. We went to Wal-Mart at 4:30, that place is nuts!!!

After the shopping experience and a little sleep we went to the nutcracker with Grandma Hillyard. Jeremy had a hockey tournament in SLC. Brynly had her first dance performance Saturday. She did so good I was way proud of her. Then that night we headed down to SLC and watched Daddy play hockey.
He loves to play and I think he secretly likes to have his girls come and watch him. It made me nervous there were some really big guys with hot heads that could sit on him and squish him. Good thing he is faster than them so when they hit him against the boards he can squeeze his way out before it gets ugly.
I have had the Wo is me with the holidays. I need to just be greatful. I stress about who we are going to see and having to choose between four families. I should be glad that I have four places to pick from and they want me to go there too. When all is said and done we had a great busy time and I got some quality time with my husband and kids.

Okay I finally got a Blog!!! I took the plunge (with Melissa's help, thanks your the best) and now I am good to go.

So what a better way to start a blog than with an announcement.....We are moving to New York.

Just kidding I wish we could move but we are going to have a BABY. Yes that's right number 3 for us. I am one week shy of 5 months. Felling great and hoping that it is a boy. I love my girls but we have alot of DRAMA at home and I think Jeremy would be glad to even things out. But whatever it is we will be happy. We aren't gong to find out what it is just to keep the suspense. My due date is on April 2. I hope I go early if not we will have 2 birthdays in 1 week OOPS.

The girls are excited about the baby, Brynly said to me before we told them "Mom you are going to have a baby your belly is getting big." so I tole her it was just gas. Then when we told her she couldn't understand why we said I had gas. I haven't had to tell anyone she has done it all for me. People look at me like Is she supposed to tell me that? Do you think I would tell her if we weren't ready to tell people. That's why we have waited to spill the beans until now.

We took the girls on a treasure hunt to tell them. At the end I had a note that said"We are going to have a baby" with treats in the bag. Jeremy read the note and I was getting the treats out and Ryley said " this is so exciting." I asked her what she was so excited about and she said "we get treats" I love that kid.

We are so glad that Uncle Tyler comes home on December 19th @ 6:15 P.M. We are counting down the days. It will be interesting to see what Ryley thinks of him she has only seen pictures. She was 8 months when he left. Brynly remembers him and says all the time "when is Tyler coming home?" It will be great to see him.

Halloween was great fun!!! We went to visit everyone and did a little Trick-or-Treating. The kids had fun and that is all it is about. My little PRINCESSES.

Pictures will follow next time. To be honest I am not technology smart! HAHA
