Day 6

Day 6: I’m Thankful for my family. I grew up as only girl with 4 brothers. I wouldn’t have had it any other way. I know that that played a huge part of who I am today. I never felt like I needed a sister. Now I have the 2 greatest sisters in law that I could ask for! We have so much fun together and get along so well. I am thankful that I have brothers who care about me. I am so in love with my sweet nieces and nephew. I love when Dax plays with them, they always get along so great! 

(Faith is in my tummy and My newest niece Gemma is not quite on earth yet either!)

Day 5

Day 5: I’m thankful for these 2 people. They are such great parents and have raised 5 fantastic children (their second being the most fantastic) They have taught me so many great things in my life and I feel like I am the person I am today because of them. I’m so grateful for the wonderful example they are to me. I love you DAD and MOM!

Halloween!

We had a great Halloween this year!

Each year I try to put on a spooky dinner for my family. It makes me be creative and everyone seems to enjoy coming! 

Dax was Buzz Lightyear, which he still wears his costume regularly, and Faith was The Cutest little chicken you've ever seen!

On Halloween the weather was so nice! Faiths costume was a little too warm for trick or treating so I dressed her as a clown. It was so fantastic not to have to bundle our kids up!

My mom made these cute Deviled Spider eggs

 Jamie made this festive veggie tray

We also had "witches brew" complete with dry ice, but I forgot to take a picture of it! 

 Our Family won't be together for Thanksgiving this year so I decided to make Halloween pie for dessert!

 Those who decided to stay and carve pumpkins after were Heather (the "G") Me (the train for Dax and the Face)

Jamie (she didn't have a chance to finish hers, it was a really cute cat in a pumpkin) and Brads are the other two

Brad was pretty proud of his "hunting" pumpkins

 Even Our sweet new niece Gemma joined in the fun!

After Everyone left, Dax, I mean Buzz Lightyear, and I lit all the pumpkins

Day 4

Day 4: I’m Thankful for My Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. I’m so thankful for the opportunity I have to live on this earth. I was sent here by a loving Father in Heaven to gain a body and to be tested. I’m so thankful for my Savior Jesus Christ who suffered for my sins so that I can once again return to Heaven and live with my family again. I’m thankful for the plan that was set out for me to follow. I’m thankful for my agency, that I might be able to learn from my mistakes and also know the true JOY that can come from making right choices. Most of all, I’m thankful to know these truths and that I have the opportunity to live them. 

Day 3

Day 3: Faith. I’m so Thankful heavenly Father blessed me with a darling little girl to call my daughter. She is so full of spunk and happiness. She tends to be a stinker for others and an Angel for us. She squeals with delight whenever her brother is in the room (which makes him crazy). She has the funniest little crawl and figures out how to get to where she wants. Her sweet smile will melt anyones heart. We love you little girl!

Day 2

Day 2: I’m so thankful for this sweet little boy. He keeps me on my toes. He says the funniest things and constantly makes me laugh. He is such a great part of our family. We love you DAX!

Thankful

I’ve decided to to a Month of Thankfulness because of how blessed I am in my life. I’ll do my best to list something every day! 

Day 1: What can I say? I’m so Thankful for this special man I call call my husband! He is honestly my best friend. He makes me smile and laugh constantly, and is my shoulder to cry on. He is my everything. I’m so grateful that I have him for Eternity.
