In the spirit of Thanksgiving...

November is the month when most people start thinking about things they are thankful for. Of course, we should do this all year round but it seems the closer to the holidays the more we do it. So in the spirit of Thanksgiving I want to list a few things I am most thankful for:

My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ

My husband Andrew...who is my rock

My two little boys... who put a smile on my face everyday

Our house in which we have made a home

Our wonderful group of friends

Songs that put you in an instant good mood

Comfort food

Family- parents, siblings, in-laws, and extended

Our church family and preacher

Reading my Nook

My fav TV shows...Revenge, Grey's Anatomy & Heart of Dixie

Decorating our home for the holidays

Seeing Grant's face when we take him to the fair and rodeo

Watching Bryce dance anytime any music is on

Thursday nights eating out with our friends and children

Whoever invented Little Debbie's

Having a great job and working with my friends

Coffee



Bryce is 1

I can't belive a year has flown by. It seems like just last week we were anticipating the arrival of our second little boy. I was worried about how I would spend time with both my boys and not leave anyone out. I was worried about how I would get both ready in the morning by myself, drop them off at daycare, and make it to work by 8. I was praying for everything with the delivery to go smooth and my precious baby boy to be healthy.

What can I say a year later..... Bryce you are a mother dream come true. You are so sweet yet goofy. You smile all the time. You have a contagious laugh and a great spirit. You are by far the wild child. You like to climb on things and just jump off. I'm pretty sure we will be making a trip to the ER soon if this keeps up. You are an eater. And by eater I mean you will eat anything and a lot of it. Right now your favorites are bananas, blueberry nutrigrain bars, french fries, baby puffs, and yogurt. You love to dance. Anytime music is playing you bounce up and down. You are not quite walking. You pull up on everything and will walk behind chairs or any toys you can push. You are a great sleeper. You love to clap and give high fives. Most importantly you make me soo happy and I love you so much. Happy Birthday my little man!

A weekend full of pictures

Time of the Year

I can't believe it has been almost a month since my last post. I love this time of the year but with this time of the year comes a very busy schedule. We went to the fair, Paradise Pumpkin Patch, and had a Fall Festival at church all within a week and a half. I took a bunch of pictures of each but unfortunately don't have them with me. I will try and do a huge picture post soon.

Also, I can't believe my  baby is not going to be a baby much longer. In less then 3 weeks Bryce will turn one. I'm in the process of planning his party. I decided to have the party in the church building, in case the weather stayes cold. Andrew is going to blow up one of his inflatables for the kids to jump on. I think it is going to be fun. Below is a picture of what the theme looks like. I really liked the colorful dots. Simple but cute!

Here is the only recent picture of my boys I have on this computer. I can't believe how much they have grown.This was taken about a week ago before church. Until next time enjoy their cute faces!

Weddings

To say that we have been busy lately is a complete understatement. We always have something going on, I guess with two kids that is to be expected. This upcoming weekend my mom is coming in town. Andrew is in a wedding and we needed someone to watch the kids. So Friday night we have a rehearsal and dinner to attend. Saturday we are taking the kids to a birthday party and then getting ready for the wedding. I do hope Mom will stay Sunday night b/c i'm off work Monday for Columbus Day.....yes one of the perks of working at a bank. Hopefully I will actually get to spend sometime with her. I don't get to visit with her as much as I would like. So yet again another weekend will fly by. I am excited about spending some time with Mom, seeing some old friends and I might even doing a little dancing Saturday night.

Great start to a Saturday morning

I love starting my mornings off with a cup of coffee. During the work week i'm the only one up while I drink my coffee. On this lovely saturday morning Andrew is at work but Grant is up with me. He is drinking his usual chocolate milk and watching cartoons. Bryce is still sleeping. I love getting this extra time with just Grant. We are snuggling on the couch watching Jake and the Neverland Pirates. I LOVE him!

Where have I been....

taking a blogging break, Homecoming at our church, watching Bryce learn how to eat real food, cleaning the house, shopping for Fall clothes, taking Bryce to his nine month check-up, baking cookies with Grant, spending the weekend with my mom, reading my Nook, catching up on White Collar on my DVR, playing the matching game with Grant, singing songs while driving down the road, grocery shopping, spending time with old friends we don't get to see much, helping host a wedding shower, getting kids bathed and dressed for bed, cleaning out my closets and reorganizing part of my house, watching cartoons with my babies, taking pictures, and most importantly loving and being loved by my family.

As you can see we are super busy and I love ever minute of it.
