{ Thankful Thursday }

I am so so Thankful I get a much needed escape for the day tomorrow with a friend for the whole day.{Thats why I'm writing this tonight} We are heading out of town early for a day of shopping, talking and anything we want. We are both so excited just to get away from everything for the day! Love our kids but sometimes we all need a break and since they come far and few between we enjoy them when we get them right!! I'm so THANKFUL my mom will watch my kids and so thankful that D will come home early to be with the kids. Everything feel into place nicely. Now I only hope it doesn't blizzard or something during the night that would suck.
Anyway I'm looking forward to it.

I so thankful for kolten and his love of life and learning I just have to brag for a minute he got his little kindergarten report card yesterday and he improved so much! ( he talked to much last report not a surprise but he tried so hard this time to better) We are just so so proud of him he had all A's except for 2 D's which means developing this skill !! It was awesome to see how happy he was when he knew how proud we are of him. Does anybody have any ideas on how to reward a child for theier report card so they feel encouraged and recognized for there efforts without something so big that they expect it everytime?? We are just so proud of him !! He did awesome!!!

I'm so Thankful for my three beautiful children who always come up with classic lines like these:

- Mom I hate you cause you don't do anything I tell you to. (um lets think about that !)

- Mom this is Delish {from a 3 year old}

-Mom I'm pretty much the smartest in this house right cause I know things. { Yup sure lets not be cocky or anything}

-How about "I'm not your servant, your mine" {um yah he got more chores to do that day}

-Can we go to Mickeldonalds? {ha ha Kolten used to say that all the time when he was younger}

- I have "diarinna" (like rhymes with ballerina)

- Mom look at me I'm a "hellarina" { had to laugh at that one}

Just a few classics but what would life be without children they come up with the best lines sometimes.
So this week I want to try a video and see if it works !
I'm thankful that Kolten can make Masen laugh harder then anybody else. I love to see my kids playing nicely and making each other laugh. Thats joy!

I'm Thankful for my life I'm blessed with great friendships, great families, an awesome husband who does so much for our family, three fun kids who keep me going and make life joyful.
I'm grateful for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- Day saints because without it I wouldn't have gone to Ricks and met my husband, without it I wouldn't know happiness and joy and love like I do. I wouldn't have my three kids through LDS Family services, and we wouldn't have the job D does, without it the things we do each sunday and the callings we fill wouldn't give us the blessings we enjoy and the deeper meaning to life it gives us.
Life is what we make it so make it count for something good everyday.
I'm Thankful for LIFE. Have a great day!
{So before you watch the video you have to scroll down and pause the music, and its a long video and the first few seconds you'll get the point. Plus this was taken right after dinner.} I love my family!
