30 Days of Thankfulness

I'm a little late getting started on this one, but I saw several people doing this on Facebook, and thought it was a wonderful idea for November. I'm not going to start a new post every day, but will try to log in and update this post daily.

Day 1 - Our Health - Sure we all have minor issues, but Jason and I, and all three kiddos are SUPER blessed in the health department. For this I am very thankful.


Day 2 - Our Salvation - Psalm 100:4 - Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.


Day 3 - My job - I'm so thankful to have had a flexible job for the past 4 years that allows me to put my family first, while I contribute financially to help meet our financial obligations. Sometimes, I even enjoy it! ;-)


Day 4 - My boys - All four of them. They are seriously the cause of my gray hair (age has NOTHING to do with it), but I love them to pieces.


Day 5 - Road Trips - These have been few and far between, but on Friday we all piled in the car to go to Kentucky with daddy. It was mostly chaos, but we got a new portable DVD player and saw the Biggest Park in the WORLD! The kids talk about trips like these forever. A break from the every day is much appreciated.


Day 6 - HOME - After said road trips, and every day. I am so thankful for our home. Its usually a mess, but its home.


Day 7 - Friends - I am blessed with some really great friends. I have a few long time friends that have been with me through thick and thin, but have gained many new friends through work and church that constantly make me laugh and keep me going.


Days 8 - 18 - The unexpected - Life would be so boring if everything went as planned. Sometimes this drives me crazy because I'm a planner at heart. I've learned that I enjoy the planning process, even if things don't go the way I've planned. So, I keep on planning, and life keeps on changing my plans. For example - I was going to update this post daily, but somehow managed to miss 10 days in a row!

Cookie Exchange

The first Saturday of December, I hosted my first Cookie Exchange. I had been wanting to do this for years, but things were always too busy. I decided to go ahead and do it anyway this year and it was fun! Lots of ladies attended and the cookies were great! Maybe I will do it again...

Hunter is Five!!!!!

Hunter turned the big 05 on Saturday, September 26th. He had a Mario Bros themed party. It turned out pretty well. He had a good turn-out at his party, even though it came a flood about the time everyone had to get in their cars. Thanks to all who braved the weather! The kids had a great time and no one got konked in the head while they were trying to break the pinata! :-) Hunter's Cake - I didn't even cry while decorating it! Daddy and Graham watching the Pinata action! Temporary Tattoos Isaac hitting the Chomp Chomp Pinata Hunters BIG present - A playground that is still sitting in boxes!

Carter for President

So, Saturday afternoon Carter decided he was running for President. This idea came from the book he recently purchased at the school book fair "Spongebob for President". He decided to make flyers saying "Carter for Prezident" and put them all around the house. I went upstairs to fold the laundry and came back downstairs to find his flyer creation station empty. I went outside and saw flyers all around the porch, but no sign of Carter. I called his name inside the house, I called his name outside the house and then I caught a glimpse of him halfway down the driveway. I thought he was heading down the driveway, but he was actually coming back up. I said "What on earth are you doing?" and he said I went to Mr. James' house to ask him to vote for me and he gave me a check. I almost passed out! I thought he had conned our neighbor into giving him a campaing donation. After he made it back to the top of the hill he showed me his notebook where he had writte...
