30 Days {Day Fourteen}

I am thankful for Kate.

Yes Kate Weaver, I mean YOU.



Kate takes our family pictures for us every year, and I am so glad that she does!!  My children are not in love with the camera.  It takes a LOT of work to get them to even look at the camera, and it's a darn near impossible task to get them to smile at it.  For every good picture you see posted on my blog, there were about 87 others that were complete disasters.

My lovely and talented sister-in-law Kate is crazy agrees time and time again to take our family pictures, despite my uncooperative children.  Kate, I am so, so thankful for the memories we have recorded because you are patient enough to take our family pictures.  I really do cherish them and love looking at them.  If I'm being honest, I really do love the ones where Harrison and/or Bridget are making ridiculous faces most of all.  :)


I am waiting to get our pictures from this year's session, but I do have one sneak peek for you.

Isn't she good?!

I stinking love this picture.

Peter says kissing pictures are lame, but since he loves me a lot he agreed to take this picture with me.  :)  Love, love, love it.  <3


Yep, I am thankful for Kate.

30 Days {Day Thirteen}

I am thankful to have the gospel in my life.

I know that Heavenly Father loves me, and (even though His timing is usually different than mine) I know that He knows what's best for me and has a plan just for me.  I am grateful for the plan of happiness and will forever be grateful that families can be eternal.  When life gets hard and throws me curve balls, I would be very lost and confused without the hope that the gospel brings to my life.  I am so thankful for the blessings that it brings to me each and every day.

30 Days {Day Twelve}

I am thankful for nights when my children decide to sleep all through the night.

Between teething, and coughs, and colds, we've had a rough couple of weeks around here.  I have been waiting for a good night's sleep and I am so thankful that my children cooperated and let me sleep all night last night.  May this be a sign that nights are going back to normal around here!



Here are some oldies but goodies of my kids in their beds:

Harrison, 8 months.  I always caught this boy kicking his legs out of the side of his crib.























Bridget, 10 months.  Poor girl fell asleep sitting up, playing with her doggy. 

30 Days {Day Eleven}

I am thankful for parents.

Both mine,

and Peter's.
 















They are incredible examples, they support us in all we do, they help us when we are in need, they love us, and they love our children.  We couldn't ask for better parents for us and grandparents for our kids.  I am so, so thankful for them and for all they do for me and my family.

30 Days {Day Ten}

I am thankful that my loving husband takes it upon himself to bathe these two cuties:


















I never ask him to do it, but he does it every. single. time.  I get a few minutes to myself, and these two have a ball with their daddy.  It's a little thing that means a lot.  Thanks, Peter.  :)

30 Days {Day Nine}

I am thankful for the small window of time, three days a week, when Harrison goes to preschool and Bridget takes a nap. 

Ahhhh....

You'd think that I'd use that time to be productive and get a lot done, but no.  Not even close.  It's my sit on the couch, play on the computer, watch TV time. 

And I love it. 

If you want to watch the Biggest Loser with me, come on by.  I'll be here on my couch.

30 Days {Day Eight}

Today I am thankful for help with the dishes.
