pumpkins at papa's farm

can i just say- we have the greatest family in the whole world!
we have one awesome papa and grandma who grew two giant pumpkins just for lucy and blake!
they were SO excited to have their giant pumpkins, and had a blast on saturday playing out at the farm and in the garden.

i can't get over how cute these two girls are!









lucy was trying REALLY hard to pick a raspberry all by herself. 
she is so funny.





sidenote: you see the white horse in the background-- well. his name is 'Wyoming', but they call him 'Wyo'. Anyway-- Lucy has a hard time saying that, and she says 'Wy-no', well last week up at Park City while playing with one of Blake's white horses, her and Blake were yelling back and forth at each other about how to say the name, Lucy kept yelling 'Wy-no!', and Blake kept yelling back, 'No, Wyo!'. It was hilarious. And probably went on for a good ten minutes. Those two....

and the garden snake-- Bonnie's favorite part of her garden! =)

i love these pictures, and love love LOVE this time of year.
60 degrees, sunny, and crisp! the mountains are absolutely gorgeous right now and it makes me SO happy.

we have LOTS of pumpkin pictures coming up....
Driving through west farmington today with our windows down, and lucy just laughing and loving the wind in her face was awesome.
i hope she stays this sweet and innocent forever!
and clara-- don't even get me started on how sweet that little girl is.
some days she makes me want to get pregnant again tomorrow!
but then my common sense kicks in... don't you worry. my family of more little girls will have it's time in the future! =)
no matter how tired i feel at the end of the day, or how much little lucy can stretch my patience, i'm glad i have little memories like this to make me so happy and to remind me that being a mom is the best job in the whole wide world!

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 ...
