Gratitude

I am sooo grateful today for sooo much! I cannot even express the joy in my heart! I may not have much in the way of worldly possessions but I have what is most important in life!

My family-
My husband and my wonderful kids are what make me want to keep going from day to day! They are everything to me! Seeing their smiling faces is what makes my world go round!

A relationship with my savior-
The gratitude that I have for the atonement in my life cannot be expressed fully in writing. It is amazing to me that he cares so much for me that he was willing to suffer for my sins. Something that only he could do! I thank him each and every day for that sacrifice!

My health-
Our bodies are so amazing but there are so many things that can go wrong! I am so grateful that my body functions normally!

There are so many more things that I could go on and on about but then you wouldn't want to read anymore would you! ;)

Kiddos!

My babies are getting so big I thought I should probably sit down and write a few memories! I know I have a lot of catching up to do here on the blog but it will have to wait till I have access to my pictures and a real keyboard! (this post will be published from my phone!)

Emma

Well Emma turned 3 in October and she is getting so smart! Some of her favorite things right now are riding her bike and watching Strawberry Shortcake! Here are just a few funny things that have happened lately.

- I was eating a salad and she reached over and pulled out a piece of purple cabbage. I asked what it was and she said something slightly resembling the word "cabbage". So I said "that's right! Cabbage!" to which she replied in a very matter of fact kind of way "yeah, I'm smart."
And getting smarter everyday!
- Ryan was moving a family in our ward and Emma went to "help". He picked up a box and Emma said "that's tricky!"
Oh that kiddo!
- Emma's grandpa Herring always tells her "I'm impressed" when she does something well. So when I told her she was getting good at riding her bike she said "yeah, that's impressed!"
Yes it is sweetheart!
- At Sea World in the gift shop she wanted a huge Shamu toy. I explained to her that this one was too much money. Just then Ryan walked over and she looked at him and said "Daddy, I want the too much money one!"
Daddy caved... Lol
- It's funny when you have kids because they start saying things that you say a lot... When we pick things out now if I say "let's get this one" she says "that one it is!" lol
Just glad I don't swear!

Daxton

Well my baby boy is almost 7 month old now! He is proficient at the Army crawl (figures! Lol). He is working on his second tooth. The first appeared just about a week or so ago. We feel so luck to have him in our family! He has such a sweet little personality! He loves his sister so much and always has a special smile just for daddy! When he thinks someone (mostly just emma) is hurt or sad he gets really upset! He is starting to babble and it is sooo cute! I can't wait to find out more about this special little guy! Love you little man!


And now.... Pictures!!!
