Thankful.

This is by far my most favorite time of year. We're leaving up to Kaysville today, so last night I packed up all of my 'Fall' decor, and got out the butt loads of Christmas stuff I have. There is nothing better than listening to Christmas music and decorating the tree! Don't worry- I'm not skipping Thanksgiving, I just wanted to come home to a clean 'Christmas' house in time for December! In honor of Thanksgiving, It would take me WAY to long to list all the many wonderful blessings I have been given in my life.... but here are just a FEW.
  • My cute little apartment we have now lived in for over 2 years!
  • Having the opportunity to go to school, and having Tyler be So dedicated to school and his degree.
  • Tyler's great job, and my wonderful job! Everyone asks me what I want to eventually get my Bachelor's degree in, and I have no idea. I am already doing what I want to be doing. Coaching and being a mom.
  • The Gospel. Temples. Scriptures. Prayer. Tithing. Going to church. Etc... These are the things that bring me true happiness.
  • Having food to eat. Water to drink. and a bed to sleep in!
  • Our Families. We have both been blessed with the most amazing parents. I wouldn't trade spending time with our families for anything!
  • MY Family. Tyler and Lucy. The best things in my life. I love them both dearly!
I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving! I know I will!

    Carly I can't even tell you how happy this post made me. Today I was being a stinker and whining to myself. Thanks for reminding me what really matters! :) Love you girl and thanks again!

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 ...
