{10 on Tuesday....}or wednesday?


 We have so many blessing and so much to understand but we are blessed beyond measure, seeing those blessings is the biggest test.
1. Its been quite the week....fhe Monday night didn't quite turn out the way I had planned you know the one ..... put up tree watch a Christmas movie, have a christmasy treat..... instead K2 

.....ended up in the ER he was spinning around and hit the entertainment center 2 hours later and 3 stitches later my brave baby did so amazing! What a tough boy!
my upstairs tree

2. Tues I went on a girls day and three cute little boys... trip yesterday it was so fun thanks girls.... plus a little cafe rio and Christmas shopping....and the awesomest border experience  probably ever well I know its the only time I've laughed hard there....{I'm still laughing thinking about it} Classic


3. M got the flu Tuesday while D was with the kids...pretty much the ONLY thing that slows him down and I missed my 3rd opportunity to see it! He was back at it in the morning!

4. I had a mole out of control removed this morning and 6 or 8 I can't tell stitches later my arm is now sporting a new scar... the grossest part was walking out and seeing my chunk of arm they removed in a bottle to be tested ...sitting on the counter I almost puked...

5. I love days where people tell you great things about your kids makes you feel so proud and that your doing something right....{at least for that moment.} I have awesome kids!!

6. I love reading blogs of adventure of those living in another country or out of their comfort zone .Their trips, the photography its kind of like living in proxy but what I've learned from all and something they all have in common is how thankful each on is of what they have and that family is so very important...

7. and this one in Switzerland is related to D has the cutest family and had a baby over there and kept it from everybody in their families over here the ultimate of surprises how funny is that.... she is a riot....love reading her blog journey she makes me want to hop on a plane and hang out with her!

8. and then there is Alison I so admire her,  her husband went back to school in NEW YORK CITY they have 5 kids and is such an amazing mom! A million great ideas....

 9. Love this...Happy Thanksgiving to all it applies to:)


10.The wind is horrendous and my head hurts.  I'd take cold and snow over this. Never happy are we??

I AM so grateful for The Gospel, my family, friends and life.

"What if YOU woke up today with only the
 things you THANKED God for yesterday."

Ouch!!! Poor K2. Every boy's gotta have his stitches and scar to show off, eh?

I've had moles removed too. Not pleasant. But it's something a girl's gotta do these days, eh? Hope the results of yours turn out negative. I wasn't so lucky....or maybe I was.....they got all of it. Thank goodness.

And....I did NOT know my cousin Kayli was related to D?? Wow. How did I miss that one. Small world it is.

P.S BEAUTIFUL tree!!!!!!! Glad D caved in to decorating early. We are sure enjoying ours too.

Have a good one Christal! Or should I call you cousin, now. ; D
