Under the plan of heaven, the husband and the wife walk side by side as companions, neither one ahead of the other, but a daughter of God and a son of God walking side by side. Let your families be families of love and peace and happiness. Gather your children around you and have your family home evenings, teach your children the ways of the Lord, read to them from the scriptures, and let them come to know the great truths of the eternal gospel as set forth in these words of the Almighty.

10 Things I Can't live Without!

I know this is gonna be hard, because who could live with only 10 things in there life. Come on lets be honest.
1. Our Heavenly Father! I have been through a few trials in my life time. I know we have all had a few. I have to say that he is the one that I always fall back on to help me through. I know with him I can get through anything, no matter how tough it might seem. He loves us and cares about us. I am so thankful for Him!!!
2. My Husband!!! I am so thankful for my hubbie. He is everything to me. He is always there for me. He takes care of our family in so many ways. He is a hard worker. He goes to work each day and never complains. He makes sure that we have the things we need. I am grateful for that. He is the perfect example to our children. He is so forgiving. I love him for always being there for me. I have given him a run for his money so many times and he is so patient.
I love you "J". Your the best! I am thankful for you.
3. My Children!I love these 3 little kiddies so much. They keep me busy, but they teach me so much in life. I just hope I can teach them all they need to know to become responsible adults and contribute in a positive way. They love endlessly. They are so full of life. They keep going each day even if it gets hard. I am thankful for the bright lights that they are in my life. They are so lucky to be surrounded by great friends. They all help each other to be the best they can be. We live in great neighborhood.
4. My Friends!! Well I wish I had a picture of every friend I had, but I don't. I am not putting any names for fear of leaving someone off. I love everyone of you. I am so glad I have friends that I can laugh with and just hang out with. I am grateful for all the love and support you give me. I couldn't do it without you guys. I only hope I can be half the friend that you all are to me. I love my friends! What would life be without them..

5. My Computer!!I don't think I could function without my Computer. I am so thankful to be able to have one of these bad boys in my house. It has a world of knowledge on it. From medical help to craft ideas to Decorating, to Kid games. (For the kids of course) You won't ever catch me playing a game on here, I spend to much time surfing blogs. I know what some of you are thinking right now too. Maybe I should read up on my English skills. We'll this is what you get. I've tried to work on my writing skills many times..

6. Thrift Store!!I totally love the Thrift Store. I am addicted to this place. I know lots of people don't understand it, but come and hang out with me sometime and you'll see why. Even if I had an endless supply of money I would still love this place. I love the feeling of reusing something. Its amazing what one man's junk is to another woman. I know a lot of you might be changing your opinions of me right now., but I really love the D.I. 7. Yummy Food! Okay who can't live without food. I love food! I love all kinds of food. I can eat just about anything. I don't like canned peas! Anything else. Bring it on!!8. Water....... If you don't believe me you can call My MOM.....Seriously, I love Ice Water... But I have to have a Pepsi now and then!!!

9. Sushi!! I have loved Sushi for a long time now. I have to admit I have been known to sneak out get some all by myself. I just recently admitted this to my husband. He never acted to interested in this stuff. I crave this all the time.. I wish it were cheaper.. I could eat a hundred of them I bet. If you are in the neighborhood and like sushi, check out "Samuri 21" It is a little pricey, but well worth it. 10. Blogs!! Since I have started blogging, I have to admit that I have spent way to much time stalking peoples blogs. I love to look inside other peoples lives. Everyone has so many interesting ideas and great families and values. Its just awesome to be able to meet people through a blog and not even know them in person.

This was tons of fun. Thanks Lindsay! I am so thankful for a ton of things. I could name a million more.
I have been tagged!!(Thanks Erin)

Sneak Peak Pictures


Last weekend we had family pictures taken by one of our friends sister. I must say she did Awesome!! I am so excited to get these babies on the walls, in picture frames, in the Christmas cards that will be coming in the mail for sure this year.. This is just 2 of the almost 300 shots she took. She was so patient with us. Its always hard to get everyone looking great at the same time. I requested this picture of the kids holding hands. I saw this on someones blog(can't remember who) and I loved it immediately. It works so perfectly with Jackson.

We haven't had family pictures in soooo long that I feel like our family is growing up way to fast. I am setting a goal to get a family picture taken each year from now on. I hope you all can get a family picture this year too!
