{ Thankful Thursday }

I am so THANKFUL this week for the awesome people who took pity on an exhausted tired worn out mother --- me. Late nights that are too light to late and and extra supply of energy in my 2 year old have pretty much given me a run for my money over the past couple weeks by myself!! D is finally home again and it is so nice to have him back once again for a bit! I've had phone calls from friends this week, dinner at a friends house so the kids could have a change of scenery and play with other kids! A wonderful family in my ward called on Wed and said we want all your kids to come play at our house so yesterday my kids went to there house from 12-6 and she told me not to come back until supper time. So I really enjoyed my afternoon I went shopping got my house cleaned up and enjoyed the break so much!! AND the kids had so much fun and the very best part of the whole day was that they went to bed at 8:00 !!!!! That was awesome winter hours they were so worn out they fell right asleep so I got so much done last night too!! So a great day! So thankful for people that see an opportunity and serve! Makes me want to be more aware of others needs. It helped me so much and I so so appreciated it!

I'm very thankful for this certain 6 year old he is my helper and my boy who is growing way to fast and is always full of wisdom and new questions. Love him! we went out this morning and took some pictures I love that he lets me take his picture every so often and goes with it!!

Good Kid!!

I'm thankful my kids had so much fun at swim lessons and I'm also glad swim lessons are over for one thing and that is keeping Masen out of the pool, I had him in a stroller watching for a week and some then decided maybe he would be good but this is usually what he spent his time doing!! He even climbed half way up a tall chain link fence MONKEY that he is! Good thing he's such a lovable ball of joy!!! Dad came and watched the kids today to they loved it they hadn't seen him in 4 days so they were pretty excited!!

Just a few of Masen's pool tricks! Besides actually getting into the pool or at least trying to or running to the diving board or drinking pool water sitting in the puddles on the deck yeah nice eh so I did a lot of running!
Both kids did great and passed to the next level they loved swimming. They are total fish!!! I loved talking to Laura everyday she is a riot and I love her!! She makes me laugh and we have good talks! So it was fun to talk everyday while watching our kids swim!

And since this is such a picture post here are a few typical of Masen pictures!!
I am so very thankful for my three children who keep me busy, keep me laughing and keep me on my toes!

Have a great weekend!!
