Another Thing!

So as I was pondering my "6 things I am grateful" post, I thought you know there a few things that I neglected to mention so I am amending my previous post.

1. My hubby. we have been through so much in 13 years. And yet, he continues to amaze me. Just when I think I have him all figured out, he goes and shows me that he is an amazing creature. I have no idea how I got so lucky to have him pick me, but man am I very GRATEFUL that he did!

2. My Kids, they are so good to me. I know that as far as moms go, they haven't had it the easiest. I fall all the time, get sick, and I don't enjoy cleaning but through all this they are always there for me. And they step up. They worry about me way more than kids should have to worry about their parent and they never love me less because of it. :)

3. I am grateful for this trial. It has been so hard for me to try to a work my way through. But yes, I am grateful for learning these lessons. Not many of us, get to have our hearts so open. To have to feel your way through life relying on your heart is a great opportunity. I have been loved more than most adults would allow, because of my child-like need for it.

4. I am grateful for all the little things like when someone writes on my Facebook wall or leaves me a comment on my blog. To have people pray for me, and care if I actually have the strength to get out of bed, if I eat, if I make it through the day without crying my face raw and want my advice is priceless. So if you fit into any of those weird categories I am grateful for YOU!!

Ok, well I think that covers what I forgot previously! Thanks for bearing with me!!!

Tagged!

Well I have been having tons of fun with all the Facebook tags that are going around, and now my cute Sis-in-law Steph has tagged me here. So here goes, 6 things I love! Shouldn't be too hard-right!

1. Well My family and friends. When it seems like I can't take one more minute of life, they always rescue me. They are such blessings in my life!

2. Prayer. It is so true "When life is too hard to stand-Kneel" I have been living by this powerful tool. I have spent many many hours on my kneels, and my loving Heavenly Father always hears and answers my many prayers.

3.The Temple. I think life would be too hard to bear, without my knowledge of my eternal family. To know that I will be with my mom again helps give me the strength to keep on keeping on!

4.My husbands job. With all the turmoil in the world right now, I am so thankful that he has a job, and that I can stay home with our kids. We have been blessed so much.

5. As I am writing this I am finding that what I am most grateful for really aren't things. I am grateful for having so many "things" meaning not things in my life! (did that even make any sense?)

6.Right now I am grateful for a warm house. With it lightly snowing outside, I am so grateful that we have warm clothes, warm blankets and these walls to keep the cold outside and the warm inside.

Well that wasn't too painful. Hopefully it made sense. If I tag you please consider doing this, because it makes you feel so good to reflect on what you are grateful for, and you have made a difference in my life!!

That is too funny- I published this without tagging anyone. LOL! OK so I am fixing that:

Julie, Brenda, Tricia, Kirsti, Jenni and Tiffany

The Groom!

Here is the cute little guy that London has decided to marry! He is awfully cute!

The Wedding!

Well it started like any other Saturday, chores, laundry nothing out of the ordinary. Until my sweet little London, who is 6 by the way, announced that today was to be her wedding day. Well I had to hear this, she said that she would be marrying Oliver. He is a very cute little guy whom she met up at the sledding party Gran Carol and grandpa threw for Trav. He is the son of one of Carol's dear friends, Emily. So I thought well she at least she picked someone who comes from a good family.:) So I asked her about having Oliver here for the wedding, and she said that wasn't necessary, we could go ahead without him, she was sure he wouldn't mind.(Spoken like a true little cougar, since she is older than Oliver by about 6 months!) So we proceeded with the wedding. She said it would be at 1:00pm, so we better hurry and get out errands done. I Love this strong little girl! She puts her mind to something and she lets nothing stop her. Nate practiced a new little "Here comes the bride", because she simply didn't want "You've had a birthday" played at her wedding. I was to be the photographer, her dad was to perform the ceremony and she sister was going to walk her down the isle. Luckily she was a bride for Halloween so we had the dress, veil and flowers already. I love my family! Especially during a gloomy January!!!

Man I am struggling to make it!

Whoa, I had no idea January was going to be this blasted tough! I am missing my mom so much. I am falling apart at the seams. My kids are so wonderful. And no one is better to me than T-Rav! I don't know what I did to deserve him, but I am so dang lucky I can't even see straight! But seriously, bear with me, while I fight my way through this pain. I have been spending a lot of time on face book. If any of you out there are not on-you should be. I have found a lot of friends I went to High school with and that has helped. I will fight through this, I appreciate all my friends! And my family!!!

He works hard for the money!!!

My sweet little man, Nater is an awesome kiddo! He had to have 6 teeth pulled on Friday. With hopes that this will give his little mouth some room for the adult teeth to come in and maybe he won't need braces as long or something like that. We prayed that he would do good with this, because we were just going to have our regular dentist do it, not an oral surgeon or other specialist and he did great!! Heavenly Father answered our prayers and the teeth came very easily and quickly. Also I threw in a photo of him wearing my gloves. Gran Carol, got me these as part of my Christmas, she was right it totally has saved my hands for getting so dried out. Well the kids love them too, and I just had to get a picture that one day will bring embarrassment to him. I am crazy about these kids. I love them so much, and I appreciate all that they do to help me!!

Happy B-Day T-Rav!

For T-Rav's 35th birthday, My dad and Carol threw him a party!! They invited us up to the tubing park by their house. It is the one that tows you up the hill and you basically sit until you get to the bottom, when you get up and do it again. Everyone had a blast. I had a bad migraine so I didn't participate, which was really hard because it looked very fun! Thanks Dad and Carol, you guys are the best!
