{Thankful}

Thursday. again.

1.| Thankful for great neighbors who think like me and understand boys will be boys though a bit shocked that "this" boy would do this:

 This would be the neighbors garage entry door and a bottle of spray paint:(( & frame and sidewalk ahhh?? So not like him! fyi. Gasoline gets it all off spray it down good after though! Boys.

2.| Thankful for moments that take my breath away and remind of the quiet, perfect, peaceful things in life that are given us each day.
 This is the golf course one morning this week it was spectacular doesn't even look like our town it was so peaceful and kinda majestic like:)

3.| Thankful for early morning dance parties where my kids look at me and shake their heads and give me that little smile that says "your crazy mom but I love you"

4.| Thankful for FHE scripture chases and eager to learn children, charades and the boy who prepared it and the fun we had.

5.| Thankful for this sweet, sweet boy I can't believe he is finished preschool and going to kindergarten next sept....he is so smart, friendly and kind I will miss him every morn:( But I'm thankful for the fun year he's had and the excitement he had for it...

6.| Thankful he finally took off on his bike too and he's loving it!

7.| Thankful for K's year of growth he's had a trying end of the year when he hurt his ankle but finished it strong and had a great final game to end it with....he's learned a lot and thinks he's ready for jr. high, his mother clearly isn't ready for him to go there yet though:(

 

8.| Thankful for prayer and the peace it brings when we need it most.


9.| Thankful for friends & family who see a need and act and make one's day. Who give me opportunities to serve them and know just when we need that little pick me up:)


10.| Thankful for living in a great neighborhood with friends for my children with parents who look out for each others kids...its kind of a great thing...who do things like this....follow this link

11.| Thankful for the blessing of Adoption in our lives for having a goal when the "plan" was shattered. For the beautiful souls we are blessed to raise and have as our eternal family, sometimes great things come from unexpected paths the hard things shape you, mold and you and push you. I look back everyday at how far we've come together and I can't believe that time has passed so fast and I'll have a teenager this year and my baby will be going into kindergarten. All I'm trying to do is raise little ones to be big ones with morals, values & strong testimonies. Who understand why they are here, who feel what its like to love someone with all their hearts and have a family and work hard.  In the end to make it back to the Father that sent us here to be tested and kneel at his feet and feel peace that we've done all we could to make it back whole. To pass the test. Everyone of them. Thats the goal. 

"You will come to know that what appears today to be a sacrifice will prove instead to be the greatest investment that you will ever make."
