What I am Grateful For...

At this Thanksgiving time of year I love to think about the things I am most grateful for. The one thing that I am most grateful for and will always be grateful for is FAMILY. I am eternally grateful to my two loving parents who have given me 3 amazing brothers and 2 beautiful sisters. I couldn't ask for a better gift than the family that is already mine. I am eternally grateful to a loving Heavenly Father that has entrusted me with the care of 4 of his sweet little spirits. They are truly my most prized possessions. I am grateful to have wonderful friends and neighbors who mean the world to me and help me just get through life. So, to all of you...YOU are what I am grateful for.

My oldest sister Jenny's family.

My big brother Travis' family.

My little brother Cody's family.

My sister Arnica's family didn't show up in time for the family photo's and my brother Shane's family was running like crazy all weekend and I never once saw them all in the same room at the same time.:) I will have to post pictures of their families later.

Check out the Friend

I have been the primary president in my ward for 2 1/2 years now and today I got my December issue of the Friend Magazine. In the "Friends in the News" section is a picture of my little primary - Milo Ward - with the picture books we made over a year ago. I sent the picture in right after we made the books, so I had given up on it being published, but was happy today to see my sweet primary had made the cut. So, everyone pull out your Friends and check it out.

Mommy's Helpers

Because the weather is finally nice we have been trying to get some yard work done. Laiklie and Rhett were the leaf holder-downers. They loved riding on the leaves from the pile to the dumpster.

She is such a busy body so whenever we can get her to sit still we take pictures of it. : ) She loved the wagon rides.

You Talked Me Into It!!

So, all my friends kept telling me I needed to get a blog going, so here you go!! I guess you have all talked me into it. I don't know that it will be great, but we will try it and see!
