Thankful Thursday

During the month of November I would like to write what I am thankful for on Thursday (thus the name of my post). So, here we go.

Today I am so thankful to have a job where I get to spend all day with my husband and children. Well, almost all day as Mark goes to school and Spencer visits Grandma. I am so thankful to be able to say my husband and I get along so well that we can be together all day. I am glad that I get to support him in his opportunity to go back to school.

I will admit some days are hard,

most days are chaotic,

but all days are full of joy.

I enjoy my job and what I do. That is what I am thankful for this Thursday. What are you thankful for?

My Favorite Thing

So, Close To My Heart is doing a giveaway. All you have to do is blog about your favorite product. Easy. My favorite is the Orignals Card Confidence Program. I am constantly being asked to make cards for friends and family and Jeanette's layouts make it easy and fool proof to make beautiful cards. The book cost $21.95 and I think I made that back the first time I made 50 cards for my mom (Relief Society Birthday Cards).

I am Thankful

On Sunday we sat down and were settling in. The opening song was Families Can Be Together Forever and while I was pulling Katherine out of her car seat Spencer stood up on the bench and began singing the song with all of the gusto of his heart. It was so wonderful to listen to him sing a song that is such a big part of my testimony. I am so thankful to know that my family can be together for all of eternity.

Picture Time

We took Katherine and Spencer to get their pictures done yesterday. They both did great! This is just one of my favorites that I thought I would share. I can hardly believe that she is already six weeks old! And don't you worry, she did spit up all over her dress on our way to get pictures done (luckily the dress is machine washable).

Spencer Cracks Me Up

Here are some more funny things Spencer has said:

"My bum popped." Translation: I farted.

Me"What is wrong?"
Spencer "I don't feel good."
Me "Should we go to the doctor?"
Spencer "Yep."
Me "What will he tell us to do?"
Spencer "Use bandaids."

Katherine is Here!

She is wonderful! Lots of hair and cute smiles. Everything went perfectly and we are doing well.

Spencer's Funny Sayings

We went to Red Robin for Spencer's birthday. When they brought him a sundae he said
"Oh, Wow!" and then when they asked him how old he was he said
"I'm two old." Say it out loud and you should giggle.


This morning Spencer looked up at dad and said "Good morning Dad." Then he looked at me and said "Good morning Mom." Made my heart melt.


Spencer got a rug with roads on it to play on. Last week he asked "Mom, Spencer sleep carpet?" Yep, he slept all night on his carpet.
