Wanted...

A good book.

Reccomendations needed.

Your top 10, 20, 30, or top 3, or just favorite book ever would be appreciated.

Reading I have noticed is addicting... I need to again get addicted.

    I just got done reading the Lux series by Anna Godbergson and I loved them! The 4th one is coming out this October. I normally hate reading but over the past year I have been hooked. I think you'll love the series!

    If you are ok with starting a series book, read The Hunger Games. Also, Night by Elie Wiesel is really good

    We are so alike right now. I feel like I have gotten out of my reading zone and have been dying to get back to it...so I got a library card yesterday...woot woot! Hmm...I don't have many books coming to my head...but I am in the course of reading the Work and the Glory books (nerd I know) but they are way good!

    Shane and I both recently read the Children of the Promise series and they were FABULOUS! Easy reading and very addicting. They are about a few LDS familes suffering during WWII...WWII books are always good :)I'd be happy to let you borrow ours if you can't find them at the Library!

    I have a few... atonement, water for elephants, the kite runner... a good church book is the secret journal of brett colton. It's a good one. I actually am in need of the same thing, so I joined Oprah's book club. It's free, and you can do it too. The book this month is the story of Edgar Sawtelle. I haven't started reading it yet, but I listened to Oprah and the author talking about it and it sounds really good. Plus it's going to be turned into 3 books. BONUS!!! You should check it out!

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 is finally here!!

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 ...
