I was reading a friends (Morgan) blog yesturday and realized that I have many things in life to be greatful for! Since I have been known to rant and rave quite a bit, I decided that I would post a few things that I am greatful for.
~ MY KIDS~ I am greatful that I have 3 beautiful and smart kids. They each love me in their own ways and do so even when I am grumpy (most days) and yell at them.
I am greatful that I have the chance to be a mother to Jaxon! I get to love my baby in person and for that I am eternally thankful to my Heavenly Father! For many reasons Jaxon shouldn't be alive but due to the medical miracles we have surrounding us... He is alive and happy at that.
I am greatful for Lucy! She is my test, my trial, my patience pusher etc....
I love her smile and how she can say anything with such confidence behind it even if she has NO idea of what she is actually saying. I love giving her hugs and kisses and making her giggle when I tell her "I lubba you!"
I am greatful for Kaden! He is my tender hearted boy. I am thankful for his spirit. He is always reminding me to be happy and telling me that I am a good momma. I need him in my life. He makes my days brighter. He is my cuddle bug.
~ MY MOMMA~ I am greatful for my Momma! She bugs the crap out of me and constantly tells me what, when, how and why to do things. But with out her I wouldn't be the person I am today. She loves me, loves me no matter what! Momma stands behind my every decision and does so with love and a tender heart. Even when she knows that I am to fail, she is always there waiting with an open shoulder for me to cry on. I love you Momma!
~ MY BED~ I am thankful that I have a bed to sleep in! Even if I am not sleeping in currently ( it's in storage right now ) but because I am not sleeping in it, I am that much more thankful for it. I love having a bed that is big enough my family of 5 can all be in it at the same time and no one is crowded out.
~THE CHURCH~ I hated going to church for many years! I didn't ever have an excuse worthy of saying but I sure used many of them as to why I wasn't going to go. NOW I am so thankful for the church and the knowledge that I am gaining from going. For the friendships that I am gaining and the Lifestyle change I have made. I am greatful for the Emotions that come with seeing my kids singing songs that make your heart melt,and for hearing the testimonys of others. I look forward to going each sunday and I like that feeling.
~ FOOD~ I am ever so greatful to enjoy food as much as I do and not weigh 500lbs! I am also thankful to be able to manipulate and use food as a way to vent my emotions.
~ MY HUBBY~ I am thankful to have a man in my life. A man who is learning and growing up with me. I am thankful that my husband is a smart man who appreciates life and all that it has to offer. I am greatful for this man because he loves me and tells me so everyday. Jake is a man of many faces and most make me smile or giggle. I have very spiritual husband and I love that. He shows his emotions proudly. He has vowed to make his family his number 1 priority and exausts himself trying. Even though there aren't many people who understand Jake and his different ways... I do and I am proud/happy to call him mine!
There are many things/ reasons in my life that I am happy and greatful for. It would take to long to list them all. But for now you can atleast see that I don't always rant, that there is good in my life and that I am aware of it. What are you GREATFUL FOR?

A hop, a skip, a jump and oh no....
So it has been a month since I last wrote anything, go figure! October has been a pretty fun month for our family. After all it is my favorite time of the year and my favorite holiday etc..
The families got together this month over at Matt's house to decorate Haunted Houses. IT was a blast! I made little houses out of grahm crackers for all the kids and we bought ooey, gooey, sticky candy and scary candy to decorate them with.
The fun didn't end there.Lucy was messing around in the bathroom and fell from the toilet. She hit her head pretty hard on the counter and gave herself a nice size goose bump. Saturday night Lucy kept complaining of a tummy ache. Since there isn't much you can do for a tummy ache I simply told her to just lay down and to get settled in for bed. About 30 mins later I was holding her hair back as she puked.
GREAT! I absolutley LOVE, LOVE, LOVE having sick kids especially when I now have a child that I have to do everything in my power to keep from getting sick as to prevent an earlier heart surgery.
So when middle of the night came and I look over at Kaden puking over the side of his bed, my heart dropped and all I could think of is " My whole family is gonna have the swine flu and Jaxon's going to end up in the hospital again."
We managed to make it through the night to wake up the next day to Grandma Jeanne puking her guts out.
What the??? Where is this coming from? I swear if I could see the little bugger that got us all sick, I would squash it out of spite.
So to end the Flu bug.... Zac, Myself, Matt, and Kyle all got sick as well. Not sure if we were all sick with same thing but sick none the less.
TODAY:
Today is the day that Jake and I are going to do a walk through of the the Arts Intstitute in Draper. We are highly considering going through Culinary Classes. Jake would be more on the cooking side and I want to do the Pastry Arts.
Jake and I have always cooked together. It's something I take great pride in, not many couples can cook together without getting into eachothers way.
For me personally, I use cooking as a method of getting my emotions out. If I am frustrated or sad I cook what I consider to be my comfort foods such as Chocolate cake or Dirt Dessert or a Homemade Mac n Cheese.
If I am excited you could expect something more like Cheesecake or cookies or maybe BBQ chicken with salad. I love to express my feelings through cooking and I love even more when I am able to share my concauctions with others and they love it as much as I do.
Jake and I aren't 100% sure what we will end up doing afterwards but for now it is something that we both desire to do.
I am a huge believer in the saying " There is a reason for everything! "
I believe that something good will come from Jake and I going to school together. Maybe it's meant to bring us even closer together as a couple or maybe we are to learn something that at this time I couldn't imagine.
Either way it's our next adventure and we are more then excited to start it.
CONSIDER THIS YOUR INVITATION! Someday we would love to have our friends and family over for a fine feast and fancy dessert. Something we hope to impress you with. We will let you know when the time comes but for now I hope your mouths are salivating at the thought of what we might cook!
Any suggestions?
