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.

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?

Thankful Moment Day 4

My first concert. New Kids On The Block. So much fun and the first girls night out that I can remember. I am sure we all have a first fun concert night, mine was with my mom and older sister. Thanks girls!

Thankful Moment Day 3

Every year on Christmas Eve we all go to my Grandma Adams house for dinner and family presents. The traditions have slightly changed as we have added to the troops. From fighting if you are still young enough to sit at the kid table, fun crafts, exchange of "secret" gifts, white elephant gifts, to special gifts of 40 year old shirts. Some of my favorite memories are with my GGW! This is a picture of Mark's first Christmas Eve at Grandma's house.

Thankful Moment Day 2

This is a picture from one week before Spencer was born. We put the backyard in that day. Roughly 7,000 square feet of sod. I remember thinking I was tired and proud of what we accomplished that day. We couldn't have done it without all of the help from our family though.
You may be asking why I am thankful for that moment. We absolutly love the backyard! We look at it everyday and dream about finishing the front yard, garden, etc.
