Im Thankful For.....

As the Thanksgiving Holiday quickly approaches it is time for me to take a moment and talk about those thigs I am Thankful for
First and foremost I am thankful for these two:

I am thankful for a wonderful Husband who works so hard to help provide for our little family. I am thankful that after 10long hours at work he comes home and asks what can I do to help. I am thankful that he loves our son so much and is such a great daddy to him and I am extra thankful that he has the faith and courage to boost me up and keep us going when times get tough.
I am thankful for this sweet little boy who brings more and more happiness into my life each and every day. Even thogh he is busy and into everything I would not change mother hood for anything in this world. I am thankful that he is healthy and growing. And I am thnkful that he likes the Utes better than BYU!

Next I am thankful for this young lady who had the strength and courage to place her baby into our care. At such a young age of life I have never met anyone more mature. Thank you Linds for placing your baby in our arms and letting us be his Mommy and Daddy. Forever we will be thankful and grateful to you!


These 3 should be at the beginning because if it were not for 2 of them I would not be here. I am so greatful to my parents that have raised me to be the person I am today. I am greatful for a mom who has taught me so much, how to cook, clean, be a great mother and love other unconditionally. I am greatful for a dad who no matter what you can talk to about anything and is there for you with open arms and an open mind. Although he lives far away and we dont get to see them much I know if I need him he is there. I am also greatful for such a wonderful stepfather who was introduced to us at an early age and came in and helped where he could in our lives. Although he is rough and tough on the outside he is truly a Teddy Bear on the inside and I love to see that face of his light up when his grandkids run to him yelling "papa"

I am so lucky to have such great inlaws that do so many things for us. Even tho they lead such busy lives they make time for Family. We have had many fun and memorable vacations together and weekends at the cabin. They love their grandkids unconditionally and I am so lucky to have married into such a great family.

I will always have a special spot in my heart for Grandma Lucy. Grandma you taught me how important it is to work hard, how fun it is to bake and cook and how important it is to give and live life to the fullest. I love you and miss you Every day.

Lets be honest I am greatful for everyone in my life these ones just deserve a little special spot in this post, So yes Jeanene you belong on the list and Scotty and Sally, Aubrey, Kiaya, Macie, Linder and everyone else Thank you for having an impact on my life in some way or another
Now that I have tears in my eyes from my quick reflecting here is a picture list of those material things I am so greatful for as well.










And of course there are many more things I am thankful for but i Better stop there.
Happy Thanks giving!!!
