Thankful

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Ours was very nice and it is always great to spend time with family. Before we eat at Jason's Grandma and Grandpa's house we all stand in a circle and say something we are thankful for. This year Oakley was old enough to join in and what did he say he was thankful for..."Mommy!" Isn't that so sweet!! I honestly thought my heart was going to burst right there. That is one of those Mom moments that I am going to lock away in my heart forever. I will never forget that sweet little face and bright eyes looking up at me in front of everyone and hearing that precious little word come out of his mouth!

I am so thankful for so many things in my life that it could be hard to name them all in this post, but here are a few things that I am most thankful for. First and foremost, my God! Because of my God I have everything I need here on this earth and the promise of eternal life in heaven. I am so blessed to have the peace and love that comes with knowing Jesus Christ. Without Him I have nothing!

I am thankful for my husband, Jason. He is my best friend, my soul mate, and an amazing father to our children! Jason, I love you with all my heart. God knew exactly what he was doing when he matched us together. My love for Jason grows stronger with each passing day and with moments like this how could it not.

The love he has for his children makes him the most sexiest man alive in my book!

I am thankful for my three healthy and beautiful children. My life would not be complete without them. One thing I know for certain in this life is that I was meant to be a Mommy. There is nothing more precious in this world and I treasure every moment of it (even the crazy, stressful, sleepless, grapes being stomped on in my living room floor by a wild 3 year old moments.) The other night Jason and I didn't get much sleep because at one point or another all three kids were up during the night. Jason had to leave to go to work really early that morning and I ended up with all three of them in bed with me hoping for a few extra minutes of sleep. Well that didn't happen and at 7:00 am on my day off I have three playful kids laying in my bed laughing and giggling. Later that day I was talking to my Dad and I was telling him about our night and how the kids were wide awake at seven and his response was "enjoy it because you're going to miss that someday." Isn't that the truth!

Avery, you made me a Mommy for the first time, your love for life, your family, and your friends never ceases to amaze me, and for that I am ever grateful! Oakley, you are my handsome little man and a mama's boy all the way, and for that I am ever grateful! Lakelyn, you are my baby and probably my last, you light up my world with your little laugh and the look of wonder on your face when you wake up every morning, and for that I am ever grateful!

I am thankful for all of my family...because of you I am who I am. I am thankful for Jason's family...because of you my husband is the wonderful man that he is.

I am thankful for our amazing friends. You all play such an important roll in my life. It is such a blessing to have friends that you can truly count on and I love you all from the bottom of my heart!

And last but not least, I am thankful for the beautiful snow we had this past weekend! What a beautiful way to start this holiday season!
