Thankful Moment Day 11

I am so thankful for seminary. I remember one day in particular when I gained my testimony about the atomement. We were learning about christ's visit to the Americas after the resurrection. After the lesson we had a testimony meeting, but no one was getting up. Then my teacher, brother Taylor called on me to share mine. As I stood the spirit literally warmed my soul. I knew then that the atonement weasel real.
That was such an awesome experience for me and i think about it all the time.

Thankful Moment Day 10

I think it is time to be thankful for my sweet girl. The morning Katherine was born went fast. From the time my water broke (actually it burst across the room) till she was in my arms was NINE minutes. I am so thankful she came so fast. We have loved her every minute since then. I love that she sings Twinkle Twinkle Little Star by herself. I love that she gives me hugs and kisses. I love my baby girl!
Sorry no pictures. I am doing this from my phone since my internet at work is down. When it gets fixed I will put a picture up.

Thankful Moment Day 9

Mark loves being a daddy. And he is a great dad. He is so willing to help me with the kids. From putting them down at night to playing with them he is so involved in their lives. Katherine loves her daddy (and vocalizes that daily). Spencer constantly tells me when he grows up he wants to be like dad. I am so thankful to have such a partner in life. I love you babe!

Thankful Moment Day 8

Another moment of my mom, but this time it isn't about me, really. I remember when my brother was serving his mission in the Philippines my mom would write to him every week. I remember waking up at like 4:30 (I had cheer leading before school at 6) and finding my mom at the kitchen counter with several hand written pages for Elder Adams many times. Her dedication helped me learn that raising a son who is willing to serve a mission does not end once he has left. It means continually supporting him while he is gone.

My mom is a tireless example of selfless service. As shown in this picture of her and my sister Steph. She was so helpful for all of us girls with our dresses on our wedding days. She does so much for others. I bet all of you who read this have been blessed by her service. If you have leave a comment so you can have a thankful moment too.

Thankful Moment Day 7

This is a picture of all the boys of the family on Spencer's blessing day. My Dad has always been there for me. With advice, jokes, a hug, a priesthood blessing, whatever I needed. One thing that has always stuck out about my dad is how caring he is. I remember one Sunday I was emotional (teenage years seem to do that to you). I mean crying for no reason, emotional. My dad looked at me, reached in his pocket, and handed me a handkerchief. That was all it took to know that my dad loved me. Thanks Dad for always being at the ready for any of our emotional moments at church and more! I love you!

Thankful Moment Day 6

I was always told growing up that I have the best parents. I always agreed. My mom and dad are the best. But they are even better grandparents. My kids love their Nanny and Papa. And so do I. I can't really chose one moment to be thankful for because there are so many. I am just thankful that we get to make so many moments.

Thankful Moments Day 5

Before I was a mommy my sisters would let me hold their little ones. This was Easter 2007 and Carter bud and Matt were both so cute and chubby back then. Who knew that a skinny Spencer boy could be any cuter than those two?
