With Thanksgiving a day away, I've been thinking about my many blessings and the people that I'm most thankful for... my family.
I am thankful for Jason, my wonderful husband. He's kind, loving, understanding and likes to watch "chick flicks" with me. He's thoughtful and is always thinking of ways to surprise me or make me happy. He believes that Heavenly Father wanted us to be together and "doesn't plan on going anywhere". He's just right for me and I'm glad that we are eternal companions!
I am thankful for 4 great kids:
I am thankful for Rylee because she is honest, reliable, helpful and makes good choices. I appreciate her willing spirit and good example to our family. I know when I am out of the house, everything is going to be ok and that she's got things under control. She's been a sweet, scheduled kiddo from the start and I love her!
I am thankful for Taylee because she is tender-hearted, creative, sweet and dramatic. I appreciate when she's extra kind to her siblings and when she surprises me with her deep understanding of eternal truths. I have been head-over-heals for her cuteness from birth!
I am thankful for Treyson because he is thoughtful, helpful, energetic and persistant. I appreciate when he's joyful. We used to keep him up late at night, just to play with him. He's made us laugh from the beginning. He was such a cute bouncing baby boy butterball!
I am thankful for Abree because she is sweet, observant, detail-oriented and my buddy. I appreciate her smart brain and am amazed when she talks to me about "older than 4 year old" things. She's generally easy to be around and goes-with-the-flow. I've been in love with her from day one!
Have a great day tomorrow and count your blessings!

That was so thoughtful. Do your kids get on and read this. You do have a wonderful husband he takes such good care of you. I knew all that stuff was from Real Deals. I love that place.
Liar. That's right, I'm calling you out.
Ok fine. That was so sweet, maybe someday I will think nice things about my kids too. :)
Oh, and since I live in the boonies, I expect some Real Deals stuff for Christmas...
Which reminds me...remember the Oreos? I still owe you a bag don't I? That seems like a decade ago.
Ahhh! You remembered my prayer story! i just told it in a talk I gave last week.
