Daily Gratitude

Today my kids and I are grateful for the Library. Who doesn't love to read and to have so many books and resources available for free is awesome!

We love the Library!

Daily Gratitude

Today I am grateful for the 30 times Addy has come up to me and said, "Mommy, I love you. I love you infinity much."

Daily Gratitude

Anyone who knows my kids knows they struggle with food. So today I am grateful that we were able to eat breakfast without complaints or fits and it didn't take an hour either.

This cute picture is of their messy faces to prove they did indeed eat.

Developing an Attitude of Gratitude

I have decided to do a gratitude project during the month of November by taking a picture of something I am grateful for every day. I have taken pictures the last 2 years and I keep meaning to scrapbook them but I've never gotten that far. Now that I have a blog I think I will do it this way. It's much easier. So today I am grateful for...

my not stolen wallet. Long story, short, I thought someone had stolen my wallet but then I found it. Yay! It's a lot better then having to replace everything.

Accident

My poor little Addy had an accident yesterday and here are the results.

She was doing her regular activities of dancing and spinning when she tripped and landed her face directly on the windowsill. Her cheek was purple and swollen last night but I still was a little surprised when she woke up this morning with that impressive black eye. She has always been a sweet and happy girl even when she is sick or hurt and this morning was no different when I asked her how her eye felt she said it hurts just a little bit, it's gonna be fine. I knew Addy was ok when one of the first things she asked me today was Mommy do you want to dance with me? We have several trips and falls and accidents everyday so I am glad this is the worst we have ever seen and I hope it stays that way.

Kellsie

Before Kellsie was born I saw this idea and wanted to try it. I have finally put them all together so I could see how she's grown. Do you see the problem we have run into though?

She has hardly grown at all. Especially the last 4 months. Now at 14 months she almost weighs a whole 15 pounds. Oh well at least she's cute even if she is one of the smallest baby ever.

Busy, Busy, Busy!!!

We have been so busy lately that I haven't done much blogging so I need to catch up on our recent events.

Addy turned 3!!!

Her favorite birthday outfit

July 4th Celebrations

Deanie turned 31!!!

Kellsie turned 1!!!

Lisa, Kyle, and Kayley were sealed together as an eternal family on July 22.

The 22nd would also have been Dad's 53 birthday so we had a little putting tournament at the cemetery and the winner (Aunt Lori) got to release some balloons.

On July 26th Lisa and Kyle welcomed Oliver James to their family

And finally on the 28th we said goodbye to Jeff who left for the MTC.

Now that I am all caught we'll see if I can stay on top of things. I hope everyone is having a happy summer!!!
