{Thankful Thursday....}

"A mother has far greater influence on her children than anyone else, and she must realize that every word she speaks, every act, every response, her attitude, even her appearance and manner of dress affect the lives of her children and the whole family. It is while the child is in the home that he gains from his mother the attitudes, hopes, and beliefs that will determine the kind of life he will live and the contribution he will make to society." 

- N. Eldon Tanner

A BIG JOB.

I  love this quote.

I need this quote as a daily reminder.

I am so thankful to BE a MOTHER.

because being a mother is not easy alot of days 

but I'm grateful beyond words to be one.....EVEN

 if this happens everyday.... K2's favorite thing to do.

Weird or DIFFERENT?

I don't own a cell phone

 I have never texted

we have no video games, DS', in our house

we only have 3 channels

we don't have pvr, dvr or tivo

My kids all bath before school and get their hair done

a lot of the times they bathe at night too well if they were playing outside they do.

we eat dinner together every night
I've never found a gray hair yet {yeah} hoping I have my mothers genetics she didn't get gray till her 50's

my children have chores

I'm allergic to about 56 {hundred} things

I'm thankful for my mom its her birthday today and I just hope she knows how much I love and appreciate her and all that she taught me. I couldn't have been more blessed by a more humble, meek, loving, Christlike mother an example of how we all should be.
She is amazing. and I love her.

Happy Birthday Mom.

One of the biggest highlights of my life {thus far} was spent with my mom for 9 days in Germany a dream come true for me... we may have had some moments but other than my wedding day and each of my children it was really a dream come true..

I have a travel bug and would be a jet setting girl if I had lots of money for now I think of ways to make money and enter every contest for free trips I can..... to get to all the other places I dream of going.
{England ireland italy france just to name a few..}someday.

I loved Germany I loved learning and seeing all the places I had read about learned about in school and loved sharing it with my mom who felt the same way I did. These are memories I really will cherish my whole life. Thanks mom!!

I am so thankful for my mom...
