accomplishments and tasks

I totally forgot to mention...
This last week before school started and I had a husband...
HE... hung up our pictures we got for Christmas, fixed Lucy's drawer, and last but not least...
HUNG MY BEDROOM CURTAINS!
Miracles do happen.
I bought these curtains in December of 2008.
Up until this week we have had a lovely green sheet hanging across our window.
Go Tyler! I love you babe!

Ok. So the goals are in. Ready?


  1. Be more 'house-wife-ish'. ie: I cook now, but be a more consistent week day cooker, and continue to experiment with food! Be more on top of cleaning my house- I feel as if I am already improving seeing as now I make my bed everyday- which as my mom can agree too- is amazing. But not just clean hard core one day a week, but be better about doing the little things everyday. Summed up- be a cleany pants.
  2. Exercise at LEAST 3x a week. I do love to exercise. I go through ups and downs, but I really do want to run a half marathon! I love to run. I just love to run in the middle of the day. I also want to get more into pilates- because well, I love it.
  3. Create baby #2??? Maybe?? Maybe not??
  4. Finish the Book of Mormon again. On my own and with Tyler.
  5. Attend a DIFFERENT temple every month with Tyler.
  6. Do more activities with Lucy- walk everyday with her, storytime, swimming lessons (we're signed up to start at the end of the month!) etc....
  7. Visit Teach every month. But not just visit teach... be a good and better friend to all of the cute girls in our ward. I totally need to branch out and make more friends down here.
  8. Read an ensign article/conference talk once a month. Some of you may be thinking that is kinda lame, and I should do more- BUT i gotta be realistic here. I get it every month. Open it. and it sits in my magazine basket untouched.
  9. Morning Family/Personal Prayers. We rock at night. Not so much in the morning. We need to instill good habits for Miss Lu Bug.
  10. Family Home Evening. Not just dinner and a TV show together. =)
  11. Family Vacation. With just us!
  12. Lucy is also planning on walking, being cute, swimming, driving papa's tractor, and making more friends this year. =)
(Tyler's main goal is to score high on the GMAT, and get into an MBA program back east!)

2010 will be awesome!
and of course some pictures of the bean.... this is where she spends most of her time.
She learned how to open drawers and cupboards this week... HELP!!





This is how Lucy fell asleep today for her nap. In the full straddles. Dang girl! She is seriously the craziest sleeper.


Our bedroom. Unfortunately I forgot to iron the curtains before we hung them...
But I'll take what I can get.
We love our 4 plex... Ya... Now if only I had that dishwasher... and 3rd bedroom... and perhaps a laundry room... I mean it is convenient doing laundry while I'm also doing the dishes in the kitchen...
and maybe one day we could get a dresser and headboard. just maybe.
But seriously. 2 and a half years later....
I love 63 east. and I really don't want to leave!

    If you have knobs on your cupboards you can twist a hair elastic or a rubber band around them and then she can't open them!
    Good Luck with all of your goals! I hope I am a cute mom like you are!

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 ...
