Thankful Thursday

 

Day 21 – Thankful for those surprised blessings in life. Some may be small and tiny, but they are all special! I loved getting surprises in the mail.

 

Day 22 -  Thankful for adoption!!! Nov is adoption month and yesterday National Adoption Day. I always knew I wanted to adopt. And I am so thankful that it was my calling!! Like I tell my girls, it was how Jesus was raised, so it's that kind of special!!!!!!!

 

Day 23 -  I’m so thankful for my nap! It was much needed!

 

Day 24 - Thankful to see my daughter letting go and enjoying life!!!! Thank you Jesus for this answered prayer!

 

Day 25 – Thankful that even with a moderate concussion my sweet princess was not hurt worse. Thank you Jesus for being with her.

 

Day 26 – Thankful for RAK's from those sweet people we don't know. We were meeting a friend at a Mc Donald’s, not to far from home, as they were traveling near. We had a birthday gift for their daughter and them for each of my girls. The girls were sitting down so nice and about to start eating. Well a nice man walked up and started talking and asked if we were having a Birthday party, as we explained to him what we were up to. He made a little talk and said for us to have a Happy Thanksgiving. A few later the Shift manager came out and said for us not to leave, they were baking us fresh chocolate chip cookies for us to have to celebrate Birthdays! And a bit later they delivered us a dozen fresh and warm chocolate chip cookies! What a special treat and blessing!!

 

Day 27 - Thankful for the family time today with us all four cooking. Great memories made that will be forever cherished!!!

 

Hugs and Blessings,

Thankful Thursday

 

Day 14 - Thankful for my girls. They are my world. No matter how hard or crazy it may be.  I love them, and sure couldn’t imagine my life without them! Today wasn’t the easiest day with them by any means, even down right hard! But no matter what, I’m so very blessed and thankful to have been chosen to be their mom!!

Day 15-  I am thankful for the amazing friends I have! I really am blessed with some of the best!!! I am so glad to have them in my life! In the last year, things have really shown me who I can count on and who not. Far apart or right near by, my friends really are amazing!

Day 16- I’m thankful for the snow!! I love snow and wish we actually had more, but it was beautiful to watch it come down.

Day 17 – Thankful for dinner time together! I love that we get to eat most days twice a day all together as a family! It really is wonderful!

Day 18 - Thankful for the sillyness by my girls!! I love how silly they can be and they have so much fun doing it! It makes my heart happy watching them have that kind of fun and lots of giggles.

Day 19 – I’m thankful for our home! It may not be as big or as nice as some places in our past, but this is better because it's ours!!! And so cozy and wonderful!!! It's really home, where our hearts are!

Day 20 -  I am thankful for heat!!!! I like that we are able to stay warm.

Hugs and Blessings,

Family Fall Photos

 

 

I honestly can’t get over how remarkable fall is here! It’s beyond beautiful and the most wonderful! The colors, the weather, everything!!!!

Hubby and  I.

Sweet Lil E picked a bouquet for her daddy to give to me!

 

Our beautiful girls!

 

Yes I am the crazy who loves barns, and was driving down the road and saw this beautiful barn and we stopped for a picture!

 

And then we love leaves and water falls!

 

 

 

We can’t just take pictures and not have some fun!! So we were busying playing in the leaves! (Not to mention lots of other playing through out the days!)

 

 

My favorite time of year and my favorite people! So we had the best of time taking pictures and making memories! We saw some beautiful sites around the area!

 

Hugs and Blessings,

Lots of Halloween Fun!!! (lots of pictures)

 

We started early with some fun! Our neighbors brought the girls a cookie decorating kit and they had lots of fun!

Yes we have a silly red neck hillbilly on our hands!

 

We had a school field trip day and since it was a great place for photos, we took our costumes to catch a few Halloween pictures! It was a lot of fun! And everyone thought the girls were just too cute! I do have to agree.

 

 

This year instead of carving pumpkins, we got some little ones at the pumpkin patch and so we painted them! It was a lot of fun! And everyone still had a great time!!

The night before Halloween, we went to a festival and had a lot of fun!

They decorated pumpkins, played games, did story time, made zombie goo and more!  It was a great treat for all of us.

 

Happy Halloween!!!

We had pancakes that I colored orange, and made pumpkin faces with peanut better.

My Cuties!

And we were making our usual homemade sugar cookies and homemade icing.

 

Heading out for Trick or Treating. It was cold and raining! But they wanted to go!

After trick or treating, we came home and made monster taco salads for dinner!

 

Nov 1, we had a small Halloween Party with some friends!

Each of the girls pumpkins from the festival.

 

Hubby and I dressed up!

All dolled up!

 

We enjoyed some fun and creative food! On the menu was Monster Eye Spaghetti! Then we played 9 hole golf and sang Karaoke. The kids had fun playing and all! 

After it was all said and done, hubby and I finally had a picture together as we sat down for a bit before we called the night over!  It was nice to have everyone here and have some fun! Looking Halloween fun! I hope that no matter what you did, that you and your family made some new memories that yall can cherish forever!
