Gratitude Day Seven

Today I am grateful for the little people in my life. We call them the "littles". I am glad to have the opportunity to share my day with such fun kids. They say and do the funniest things. I am glad that I am able to earn a living and help provide for my family while playing with the "littles". I am grateful for their parents who give me opportunity to be their childcare provider!

Gratitude Day Six

Today I am grateful to be a member of the Relief Society. I love this organization! I love that I am able to be a part of the presidecy in my ward. It is fun to get to know the amazing women in my ward and be able to rub shoulders with them on a weekly basis. I love the motto. "Charity Never Faileth".

Gratitude Day Five

Today, I am most grateful for Kendall. He is my rock. I love him so much. Kendall is such a wonderful provider for our family. Kendall loves sports. He starts his morning each day by check ESPN news. This is where he gets all his useless sports knowledge from. I love that Kendall call me a few time each day just to see what I am doing. I love that he takes the time during the day to think of me. My life revolves around Kendall. He is the reason that I get up each morning. (and that is not just because he wakes me up every morning) I am grateful that Kendall is the father of my children. He is a awesome father and if my boys grow up to be like him they will have women lining up to be with them. Kendall has taught me how to love! I love you Kendall!

Gratitude Day Four

Madison is who I am thankful for today. She is a little mini me. She likes to be around me....always! She thinks that I am all that and a bag of chips too! I think that she is pretty awesome too! Madison loves people, especially grown-ups. She is friends with all the adults who are "aged challenged" in our neighborhood. The Relief Society Presidency jokes that we wish that she could be called as a visiting teacher because she makes the rounds almost daily with all the inactive and older women in our ward boundaries.

Madison loves to ride her bike. She also loves to jump on the trampoline. She is currently learning how to play the violin and honestly, it has not been that painful on my ears. I love you Madison!

Gratitude Day Three

Today I am thankful for Aushlynn. I was so excited to learn that the 3rd child was finally a girl. I remember when I was in labor with her, I told the Dr. that if she was not a girl I was going to kill him. He said that I was talking to the wrong person. I said no, a girl without an epidural was worth it, a boy was not! Aushlynn is turning into such a beautiful girl. She already has tons of boy admirers. UGH! Aushlynn is a very smart girl and can excel in school if she just puts her mind to it. Her favorite hobbies are boys and talking on the phone. Aushlynn loves to go on a good coupon haul. She is just like her mother. Aushlynn is super loud, you will never miss anything that she has to say. Aushlynn is the queen of taking her own picture. She looks awesome in all that she takes. Look above for a sample! She is a awesome sister. Aushlynn has a beautiful voice. She loves singing, unless someone asks her to, go figure? I love you Aushlynn!

Gratitude Day Two

Today I am thankful for my second son Avery. Avery is such a great kid. He hardly ever gives me any trouble. Avery is a hard worker and does not mind getting his hands dirty. I am glad that Avery is such a good student. He keeps up with his school work and never have to ask him if he has homework. I am grateful that Avery has such a strong testimony of the gospel and that he is not afraid to share it. Ever since he was little, every month he has shared his testimony at church. I appreciate that he is able to do this because it is so hard for me to get up and bear my testimony. I am grateful that Avery is such a good friend. He has so many different friends. i think that Avery is a friend to everyone. I love that he always watches out for those who have challenges in life. He is very compassionate towards others. I am glad that Avery was born into our family. I don't know what I would do without him. I love you Avery!

P.S. I think Avery would be down right perfect if he got a haircut! ;0)

Gratitude Day One

Today, I am grateful for my oldest son Dyllon. I am so thankful that he was born in our family. I am proud of him and the decisions that he has made in his life. He is currently a student at Dixie State College. When he left I had a super hard time. He told me that it was time to cut the umbilical cord. I am excited that he will be back home in the middle of December after the fall semester ends. Dyllon always makes me laugh. He is very quick witted and comes up with the funniest stuff. Dyllon is a great friend. I am sure that he is a good example to all his friends and they look up to him. I am grateful that Dyllon has decided that he wants to serve a mission. I am proud that he is making such an important decision in his life. I know that he will be blessed beyond comprehension for this act of service. I love you Dyllon!

P.S. I am also very grateful that you and Braydon made it safe back to St. George when it started snowing.
