{ Thankful Thursday.....}

I am so thankful the princess friend party is finito... an hour and half with five girls, 2 boys {mine} some bracelet making, cupcake cones and corn dog eating, pinata loving princesses later.... we survived and I'm pretty sure they all had fun!
I am so so thankful for the big help K is to me most all the time but especially today and to his sister and her friends he was so nice to them all and helped them make there bracelets and entertained them by playing puppy tag with them...what more could I ask for!!

my baby is growing up........pretty sure he had fun too though lol!!
-------------------------------
here are some pics from our family gathering the other night with my bro and his in laws...I'm so thankful for my brothers and sisters {missing 2 in these pics but love them all and am thankful for the example and love they each bring to our family...}
....so this was my first haircut and color of the weekend..which I liked for a day {love the highlight job} but not so much the cut for me..... you know how it looks great when they do it in the salon....... then you try to do it the next day and it doesn't look so much the same way as they can do it anyway ...
yeah I just think once a backcombing, hair teasing, hair spraying freak always a freak.....I just can't stand it when my hair moves or is near my face like so....{excuse my laughing face...ugg}
...As you can tell we are always laughing pretty much when we are all together....

-------------------------------------
so Monday I went back and went even shorter on the 'do.... but I love it so much more...a nice change for now I'm sure it will be back up soon enough but for now yeah.. it works and feels so much better.....

......next up is my little tribe and the little one behind the camera sure love them... so thankful for each one {even though I feel a little claustrophobic sometimes when trying to feed Karsen and keep him from getting squashed by his {{{ loving}}} brothers and sister!!!

Fun times all of it they are such great little helpers and love K2 and each other so much and I am so very thankful for that.....
so there it is ..... for today lol!!
---------------------------------

There. he. goes.head. held. high.and.roll ...roll ....roll .....baby

“If we fill our hours with regrets over the failures of yesterday, and with worries over the problems of tomorrow, we have no today in which to be thankful”

------------------------

“So often we dwell on the things that seem impossible, rather than on the things that are possible. So often we are depressed by what remains to be done and forget to be thankful for all that has been done.”

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!!
