Day 2 of Thankfulness!

I am so thankful for my husband! I really can not put into words what we have been through.  I look back at our wedding picture and my first thought is "and I thought I loved him then, because it is unimaginable how much more I love him now".  I was in High School when I told my friends he was the one!  They just laughed it off and thought I was foolish and it was "puppy love".  I finally grew up and thank goodness I had not run him off by then.  Now married for over 7 years I feel like I have fallen in love with him time and time again.  My Mom was always his biggest fan and I knew the moment I lost her he was the only one that could ease my pain and he was.  He has wiped away my tears, dealt with my tantrums, held my hand when I was scared, wrapped his arms around me to make me forget and made me a stronger and better person because he loves me.  We have struggled, hurt and lost our direction a many times but always had each other through it all. 

Day 1 of Thankfulness!

I am taking advantage of every day in November to make myself stop and think of all the things in my life I am thankful for and blog about at least one daily. We often get so wrapped up in all the negativity and stresses in our daily life we forget to reflect on the blessings. So here goes . . .
It only seems fitting that the first thing I'm thankful for to be the number one thing in my life and that is God. My faith has been tried and a battle for me at times but lately been the one thing that pulls me through the hard times and I feel such a presence in the good times. I continue to have so much growing and learning to do about our lord and savior but look forward to all the wonders it brings to mine and my families life!

This is how we roll!

Weston was less than thrilled about "Kroger-ing" with Mommy this afternoon. I had to laugh because he grab his bottle and kicked right back like he was at home in his crib. I love when silly moments like this take me by surprise and make me forget about the chaos of my day to day life!

Halloween 2012

 Oh ya that is right!  We are raising a couple of super heroes! 

 My "super-kids" were looking extra smashing this Halloween!

 Can't believe we are already celebrating Weston's 1st Halloween.  I think he was more impressed with his pumpkin bucket than anything else!

 These 3 are practically pro's at trick or treating by now and were doing a great job of showing Weston the ropes!

 Daddy gave us the biggest surprise of all popping through the door as we were about to head out to go trick or treating.  We assumed he wouldn't be able to make it home for the festivities since he is working out of town this week.  So we were all pretty excited to see him!

Now that the buckets are full of treats and the eyes are getting heavy we are calling it a night!  It was another wonderful Halloween!  Hope yours was as Happy as ours! :)

Pumpkin Time!

 Its that time of year again!  Time to scoop the pumpkin guts and carve out a face.  Daddy is out of town and Weston was taking a nap so it was just a girls night of pumpkin carving.  Gracie designed the face and I go to carve it out for her.  She gave her pumpkin girlie eye lashes, a mustache and vampire teeth.  Very creative if I do say so myself!

Cheer, Skate and Party!

 We headed straight to the skating rink after returning from Papaw's for a Cheer Party to celebrate the end of the season!

Weston was rolling some different wheels for this party, but Daddy did a few laps with Gracie.

We even ran into a few friends from school there!

A new look!

So this is the look I got when I told Mr. Weston "no" this morning. He has some pretty animated facial expressions these days and they are quite comical. Just one of the many new things he has been doing lately!

A good dose of the right medicine

 We thought the best medicine for Papaw after his surgery would be the sweet smiling faces of these 2!  I do believe it worked!  Although he wasn't up for playing the Wi with Gracie or bouncing Weston around I think it really brightened his weekend just having the kids around and watching them play.  We even gave Papaw a sneak peek preview of halloween costumes! 

The surgery went well and we are wishing him a speedy recovery!
