Today I am grateful for Bedhead!

Every morning I look forward to seeing what kind of crazy hair my Georgia will have. She has the best bedhead! Hair in all different directions. LOVE IT!

Today I am grateful for Hot Chocolate (the drink and the band!)

I have lived on the warm stuff over these cold days. YUM!

Today I am grateful for the sense of touch.

As I sit here and type Georgia is rubbing my arm. It gives her security to rub my arm and feel me there. And of course I love feeling her cute little chubby, dimply hand rubbing me. When I had her the nurses encouraged skin to skin touch to help the me and her bond. I love feeling my kids skin on mine. When I hug Christian I make sure our cheeks are touching. When Jason and I sit on the couch and watch TV we are always touching in some way. My feet on him, holding hands, his head on my shoulder. I love the 5 senses.

Today I am grateful for Papa Johns.

I didn't want to make dinner and they were having a pretty good deal! Buy a large pizza at regular price ($12) and get free cheesesticks. Use promo code FREESTICKS when you order online and Enjoy!

Today I am grateful for footie pajamas.

It has taken a turn for the cold and my Georgia in her footie pjs is probably one of the cutest things ever. She is so warm and cuddly and makes me not want to leave the bed!

Today I am grateful for safety!

In the last week 2 of my friends' homes have been broken into and robbed. Luckily neither was hurt. What kind of world do we live in these days??

Today I am grateful for Christmas music.

Daddy, Georgia and I were driving around yesterday and we listened to Christmas music. Georgia loved it! The only thing that could have made it better was a little cold weather. Oh well, there's always next year.

Today I am grateful for friends.

Specifically I am grateful for Wendy. I love Wendy. She is always there when I need her. She never lets me down. She is as sweet as she is beautiful. She has a heart of gold! She is also good for a few laughs! I love you Wendy!

Thank you for being a friend!
Traveled down the road and back again.
Your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidant!
And if you threw a party
Invited everyone you knew
You would see the biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would say
Thank you for being a friend!

(yep, I went there! she is THAT good!)

Today I am grateful for decorations!

We took out the Christmas decorations yesterday and decorated the house. The tradition in our family is I put up the tree and the kid(s) decorate it. I don't mess with any ornament on the tree. In the past I have had the help of my nieces and nephews but this year it was just Christian and Georgia. I think Georgia did more taking down than putting up but nevermind cause my tree is GORGEOUS!

Today I am grateful for leftovers!

Today I am grateful for doggy-sitting.

We've been doggy-sitting Cami. A cute all white English Bulldog that likes to dance when you wave a white wipe in her face. She is really funny. Georgia is especially happy Cami is here. Georgia likes to follow her around and play with her but what she really loves is when we're eating dinner Georgia will throw her food on the ground and watch Cami come and eat it up. It makes Georgia giggle.

Today I am grateful for books.

I'm so propud of Christian's love of reading. He will read anything! And as I type this Jason is reading a letter book to the cutest little lady I've ever seen!

November 22, 2010

Today I am grateful for internet service!

We've been without our service all weekend, thank you AT&T (yeah, right!). You never realize how much you depend on your internet access until it's gone!

November 19, 2010

Today I am grateful for naps!

Georgia decided she didn't need a nap today and now she has been crying, NONSTOP, since 1:30. It is now 3:06 (but who's counting minutes?!?!?!). If the crying doesn't stop I don't know what I'm going to do.

I can't wait for Jason to get home!!!

Today I am grateful Clean Breeze Downy with scent pearls!

My laundry has never been so yummy! I have always used April Fresh Downy but Clean Breeze is my new love! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

Today I am grateful for smell!

My children each have a certain smell. I love to get close to them and just smell them. My husband has a smell. My parents each have a smell. I love those smells. Smell can triger memories. Smell can take you back to a certain time and place. I can smell a perfume from my teenage years and it will remind me of something I otherwise forgot. When I bake I can smell the cookies, brownies, cake, whatever, in my hair. We often talk of "things" belonging to my parents that each child may want after our parents are gone. I have often said I want Daddy's pillow. It has his smell. Yep, I am extremely grateful for the sense of smell.

November 15, 2010

Today I am grateful for the sweet spirit that can touch my life through a beautiful Young Women's program.

The Middleburg Young Women worked very hard on their sacrament program and it was beautiful. Our young women are marvelous! They are strong and courageous! Later this week I will post my talk from Sunday's program so I will never forget how much I love them and how precious they all are.

Middleburg Young Women - You ladies are awesome! I can't put into words the love I have for each and every one of you!

Today I am grateful for egg salad.

Yep, it's one of my favorites. Egg salad really hits the spot. My husband and son love my egg salad. It reminds me of my childhood. When we would go on vacation my mom would pack a cooler full of drinks and food. (No stopping for us! We could get out of the car when we got to where we were going! And we didn't just go to Orlando. I'm talking, Atlanta, Ohio, North Carolina, West Virginia, Utah!! OK, so we didn't have to "hold it" all the way to Utah..lol) Mom would always pack egg salad sandwiches. And they would go fast. Now I'm passing on the love to my family. Now if only I can get Marky to eat it I will consider my life a success!!
