52 Blessings: Brothers!

A lot of you will be getting these pictures on some Valentine cards, but they were just too cute not to post! I love that my boys love each other so much! I love that each can make the other smile so easily. I'm so glad that they have each other. And I love even more that I get to witness it. I'm not sure where I would be in my life without my siblings. How could I ever deny that to my boys?

This week I am thankful for my Ward and neighbors. It has been a long time since I have been active in the Church. Since moving to this neighborhood I have been pleasantly surprised at all the wonderful people who live around us and in our Ward. Seeing their kindness and willingness to help others has helped me to find my way back to the Church. My Testimony has grown so much in the past 3 years. I'm so thankful that my family is able to benefit from knowing such wonderful people!

Today I am so thankful for my wonderful husband!!


Tim has been hunting this weekend and it has reminded me of how much I love having him home. He is such a good dad and great man! I'm so lucky to have him in my life. He always takes the time to rough house with Holden or to kiss Beckett, something to show them how much he loves them! He makes dinner for the family almost every night and never complains about it. He works extremely hard so that I can stay home with our kids. He is very goal oriented and always strives to help me with my goals. He is also very supportive of me and the kids. He has zero interest in going to Church, yet almost every week is asking me if I'm going and helping me to get the boys ready to go. I'm so thankful he is in my life.
I hope you know how much I love you, Tim!!

52 Blessings - Friends

This week I am so thankful for good friends! I have a decent amount of friends, but not many GOOD friends. I can always tell who they are when I'm having a bad day. Who do I want to call and vent or cry to? Those are the best friends in the world. It seems that the good friends happen to call at just the right time or day also. Maybe they have a sixth sense that I need them?
More specifically, my best friend is Becky. I honestly don't know what I would do without her. I know I've posted about her before, but she is such a huge part of my life that she gets another post. I can't even imagine my life without her. She has gotten me through some rough times and has always been there for me. She was the one who took me to get confirmation that I was pregnant in high school and also was there for labor and delivery in the middle of the night. I love you, Becky!! Who knew my sister would end up also being my best friend?
And thank you to all my wonderful friends!I'm so lucky to have you all in my life!

I'm stealing this idea from my friends Jenny & Kristy.....Each week I will blog about someone or something I have been blessed with! I'm going to try to do it on Sundays just for the sake of me remembering to do it.
This week it's my mom, Joan. She is fabulous! I have had some trying times in my life and I honestly don't think I could have made it through them without my wonderful Mother. When I got pregnant in high school she became my rock. Since then I have noticed so many great qualities about her. I have changed my way of thinking. I no longer say "I don't want to be like my mom." Now when I say something she said to us (which is often) I laugh and am proud that I turned out like her. I couldn't have asked for anyone better.

She is also a great Grandma! She always says yes when I ask her to babysit my children and even took my horrible sleeper Holden overnight for us when I was pregnant. She seems to always have a little gift or candy for the kids. (Okay, maybe that one is annoying. LOL) And she has a never ending supply of hugs and kisses for them. Mom, I hope you realize just how wonderful you are!!
