1. For my faith. I am so grateful for my Heavenly Father who has blessed me ten fold and my Savior Jesus Christ for carrying burdens that were to much for me to bear alone.
2. For my wonderful husband and precious little girls. My husband is so amazing, he cooks, sews, and does woodworking. He finds time to work, attend classes and spend time with the kids. He is a man of many talents and is our rock! He is a great man to handle me through all of my many "moods." I love you more than words can express John! My darling little girls are my heart and soul, I can't imagine what my life was like without them. They are my motivation is all things. I am so grateful for the opportunity Heavenly Father has given me to be a mommy!
3. My Folks. My Father has always been a guiding light and great example of what a true man should be. He is always patient and kind and never complains. He is a wonderful grandpa and a awesome dad! My Mother is a women of great strength and character. She has shown me that no matter what I have been through I can always pull out of it. She lives for her kids and grand kids and is always there for us no matter what! Thank you mom for showing me how to be a mother. Thank you for showing me how to be strong and face the world head on. Thank you for being my friend.
4. My In-Laws. My mother-in law always has a great attitude. She is always smiling and laughing. She has shown me the true meaning of forgiveness through her Christ like example.
My father-in-law is a dedicated man. Once he sets his mind to something he follows through. His hard work ethic has been something I have always admired, a strong ethic that both his sons have inherited.
5. My Friends. I am blessed to have so many people care about me. Whether old or new I have a special place in my heart for all of you.
There are so many things I am grateful for, these are just a few! I encourage all of you to post what you are grateful for.
This past weekend we celebrated Ashlyn's 4th birthday with a super cool Little Mermaid party. The girls are in Princess heaven with all the fun stuff Ashlyn received for her birthday. My friend Elsha took these wonderful pictures. I love how she captured every detail of the party! We had a great time with our friends and family, thank you for all the great gifts and birthday wishes. On a side note, John did make the cake and it was delicious!!! Also if you have a Disney princess (or any Disney character) fan at home check this out. Ariel called Ashlyn today to wish her a Happy Birthday, her response was so cute, she loved it!
