What I'm thankful for....

I love this time of year, there's a lot going on everyone seems happy and excited for the holidays, the weather is beautiful (atleast it is in St. George) it's just a great time of year. I feel very blessed, I have so much to be thankful for, here's a few;

Of course Kade and my kids's are first. I don't know what my life would be like without them, but I know it wouldn't be much of a life. I have two of the happiest, funest kids and they always keep us laughing and smiling. And a husband who works so hard for us, and never complains.

I'm thankful that we still have jobs. The way the economy is right now, and the fact that my husband is in construction, I am very greatful that he still has work and a paycheck. I'm also greatful for my job.

I'm thankful for our families. We get so much love and support from our families, and they help us out with our kids a lot. They are the reason I can work. My mom watches my kids on her day off, an so does my mother in law. My kids are so lucky to have such great grandparents, and aunts and unlces who are crazy about them. I'm also thankful for the friendships we have within our families. We truly enjoy our families.

I'm thankful for friends. It's so fun to have friends to hang out with, talk with, go to the park with, to just enjoy life with!

I'm thankful for my freedom, and for the opportunity to live in America. I'm thankful for all those who fought, and are still fighting for our freedoms.

I'm thankful for the gospel in my life. I'm thankful that I can go to church each sunday, and that I can raise my children in the gospel so that they can have a chance in this crazy world.

We all have so much to be greatful for. It's hard not to always be wanting something more. But we are so blessed, and I hope at this time of year we can remember and help those who aren't.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Rylie & Kyler's Birthday

On Saturday we celebrated Rylie's 5th and Kyler's 1st birthday. It was a friend party and since Rylie has more boy friends than girl friends we couldn't do a girly party, so we had a pirate party. It was a lot of fun. We had it at the park and the kids painted treasure boxes, put on fake tattos and played and then Rylie "found" a treasure map that led them to a hidden treasure box. I of course got to be the pirate that took them on their treasure hunt. They found the treasure chest in no time and got to fill up their painted treasure boxes with the treasure that was in the chest. It was a really fun party, I hope the kids had as much fun as I did! I spaced my kids out by 4 years and then they ended up 3 days apart! So this is a really busy/expensive time of year for us. They will probably get shared birthday parties their whole lives. I wanted to post more pics but my computer was being too slow.

Family Party

We had a family party on sunday at Kade's parent's house, our families are too big, we can't fit in our house. They had fun, playing with their cousins, eating cake and opening up even more presents! I can't believe I have a 5 year old, and that my baby is one! Time flies by! People aren't exagerating when they say, "enjoy them because they're gone before you know it", but that makes me want to cry! You can probably tell from my blog that my kids are my life!

Halloween

My little princess and her dragon. I love Halloween, it's always a fun time. We went trick or treating over in Kade's parent's neighborhood with all the cousins, they had a great time. Rylie really loved trick or treating, and made a haul, Kyler just wanted his costume off.

Kyler's first candy. Rylie and her friends left their candy from their school party laying around & he found it, he loved it, he was so happy!

Staheli Farm

I wanted to do something "fallish" so we went with our friends Brandy, Jason & their kids to Staheli farm. It was fun, we went through the corn maze, pet the animals, played in the barnyard and had a great time. I love this time of year!
