Thankful Thursday!

I am having our Thanksgiving feast today with my kids at school. We have been talking all week about being thankful. Thought I would share some of my own as we are getting close to the real holiday.
I am thankful for...
  • having a job where I can hang out with kids all day that teach me more about myself than I could ever learn on my own. They show me daily how much fun life can be and that little things mean the most.
  • a husband that always keeps me on my toes. He challenges my thinking and pushes me to be a better person. He loves me even with all of my faults. We have had some hard times with our fertitily process and he has been there every step of the way.
  • friends! I have friends that have stuck with me for up to 17 years. (That makes me sound old!) They are loyal, funny, and are a joy to be around.
  • family. I especially love the youngest members of my family. I have 5 nephews and could squeeze all of them until they pop! :)
  • Lola. She drives me nuts sometimes, but she is always willing to snuggle up with me and give me kisses.
  • Jesus. With Christmas coming up, I can only think about what Mary and Joseph were thinking when that little baby came into the world that would eventually save all of us. I can only imagine what that would have been like. What a great gift we have. I am most thankful for the grace, peace, and understanding of our Lord and Savior.

I challenge you to post what you are thankful for this season. Happy Turkey Day! (A week early)

The coolest race car driver

Fletcher @ Halloween
It is a little late coming, but got this from Greg and had to post it. His mustache just cracked me up. He is just loving cars at the moment, so this character was perfect for him.

A night of football in Ennis!

Artie was suppose to be gone this weekend, so I made plans to go to the Ennis football game with my mom, Lacy, Daniel and Grant.




This is Grant's new little hat.




Me and Grant chillin' literally at the game.

Not so happy

Love his new hat


Lola got in my spot on the couch as soon as I got up.
Just a random pic - but I love my Lola!
