on my mind...

i'm up in kaysville today. Cheryl had a dentist appointment up, so lucy and i hitched a ride up here to spend the day with her and my mama. Ty had work today and was going to the jazz game tonight, so he'll be up tomorrow. We are planning a trip to the temple this weekend and have headed north to where our trusty babysitters are (aka- grandma and grandpa).

and ok,
im admitting it-
we haven't been since January.

how awful is that?

our stake is doing this program 100% for 100 days, which includes: daily personal/family scripture study and prayer, tithing, fhe, temple once a month, visiting teaching, etc... It's funny how all these things should be so basic and should be habbits in our lives, but seem to sometimes only get done really consistantly under a challenge. obviously the goal of this is to make these things more steady and constant in our lives, and i hope that is the case. whenever i realize i am kind of in a 'rut' of somehow, im always missing out on doing one of those few easy things.

i Will make these things habbits because they bring me happiness.

and that reason alone is enough for me. =)
just wanted to get that in writing.

REAL SIMPLE is simply my favorite magazine.
i steal my mom's every month.
i love it.
Reccommended to all who have interest in home, fashion, beauty, cooking, life, etc... it has it all. seriously. reading it takes some serious time, because i read it all.
i love it.
how about this fall weather?
love it!!

    I think we can all relate to this post. One thing that has made us a little more consistent about the little things is actually scheduling them. Now we are far from perfect, but this has helped. We set a 9:30 p.m. deadline for our couple scripture study and if it hasn't happened then we drop everything and do it.

    One thing that has helped with the temple is planning it in advance as a double date with another couple. That way we are accountable to go regardless of how many other things are going on. And we always look forward to it and go do something fun together after.

    Thanks for a good reminder to get back to the basics. I am so bad at this sometimes.

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 ...
