Giving Thanks–Day 11

Today I am thankful for all that have served or are serving our great Country. I wish we as a country would show more appreciation to them throughout the year, not just on Veteran’s Day. Without them we sure wouldn’t be in the same place today! They have given so much to keep us safe and free! Be sure to thank a Veteran, not just today, but everyday.

Day 8

I am so thankful that my niece came to visit today and that we were able to spend the day together! It was a very nice treat, and I really did enjoy doing crafts together. It was a wonderful day!

 

Day 9

I’m thankful for the prayer warriors in my life! No matter what the need is they are always there and ready to pray. It doesn’t matter if I call, text, or use social media they are there and willing to send up some prayers!

 

Day 10

I’m thankful for the freedom to choose which Church I want to attend to worship our Lord and Savior. This means so much to me, that we are not forced to worship in a way we do not believe.

Day 3 -

I'm thankful for my Momma and Daddy!!! They were the bestest parents in the world!!! And I hope that one day my kids will say I was half as good as my mom or my daddy! I will cherish my memories of them forever!!!! And they will forever be with me!!! I miss them every day, but days like today, I really need them!!!!!! I'm so thankful that I have all the memories, the unconditional love from them, and that they were the two people WHO ALWAYS had my back!!! For the things they taught me, and for even the temper I got from them!!! I'm so glad for the things we got to do together. And all the fun we had!!! Most of all for them teaching me about God and that he loved me no matter what!! Not to mention that I could talk to them about anything!!! They made all Holidays more than you could imagine! And I am thankful that we shared so much with our hobbies and all everything we did!! They taught me to be the person I am and to help others!! They also taught me to love our kids no matter what, and there is no such as labels (step/adopted/etc). God really blessed me with outstanding parents and I am so thankful for them!!!!

I am thankful for my precious daughters!!! They are our world! I love them more than words can say!!!

I love that I get to be their mom and that no matter how bad of a day it may have been, they can make it all better with a sweet hug!! They are so different and so much alike. Loving and sweet and wild and strong willed and fun and spunky!!! They light up our world  in so many ways!!

I am thankful for the real and true friends that are there for us no matter what! That love us through our bad times, just as well as the good times! the ones that don't judge us for being who we are or the way we are!!! I'm loud and stand strong in my opinions and beliefs, James is completely who and how he is, and our girls are precious and loving but wild and rowdy!!! But it's the true friends that love us as we are and are there no matter what, that make life much better!!! It's these friends that I'm beyond thankful for!!!!!!!! Thank you dear Lord for blessing our lives with these real friends that are the family we pick!!!

He is amazing!!! He is so much to me!!! We have lots of fun, even just chillin' at home together!!! I love when he cooks with me! But not only does he cook with me, he is a GREAT cook himself. We can do nothing and have a good time, because we have each other! Just the company and talking is wonderful!!! I love to head on the bike and just enjoy the ride with him, kinda like enjoying the ride through life together!!!

He is my bestest friend!!! One that is always there for me, no matter what. Been through some of the roughest times, and stood by me!!! He doesn't hold my mistakes against me. He always supports me and all my crazy ideas!!! No matter how out there they are! He stands strong and firm in his beliefs! No way will he wave!!! He is an outstanding man of God! Leader of our family!!! He is a wonderful provider! He works extra hard to insure we have all we need, and the best life possible!!! He thinks he is comedian, and I have to admit sometimes he is pretty comical! He completes me and I couldn't imagine my life without him!!!

Not only does he provide and support, but he takes great care of me with my illnesses and injuries! He is my soul mate!!! My everything!!!! And I'm glad he is the other parent to our kids!!! He is a wonderful daddy for sure!!!! He is a protector, that's for sure!!! Aint no one going to mess with his girls!!! That’s all 3 of us!  I love him more today than I did the day we said I DO! I really didn't think I could ever love him or anyone this much!!! Our love has not only grown stronger, it has withstood what most can't. I am beyond thankful!!!!!!  And he make me Happy Happy Happy!!!

Thank you Dear Lord, for blessing me with the most wonderful and amazing husband ever!!!

Hugs and Blessings,

Thankful–Nov 1

I am thankful for new beginings. James' new job. For the move. The future we will all have there. All this is a blessing from the Lord. It all came together in his timing, not ours. But I am so thankful for this gift to our family. I am looking forward to a better life for us in many ways. Surrounded by many friends and family! Not to mention around people that are like us. I just know that God brought all this about to bless us so much more than we can imagine, and I’m beyond thankful for each and every part of this! It’s been a sacrifice in some ways, but will be more than worth it in the long run.

 

Hugs and Blessings,

Just a random pic of K Bug

 

 

I had gone back home to do a Scentsy Party and we decided to have an early Family Thankgiving, while I already home, since I wouldn’t be traveling on Thanksgiving. As well as celebrate all the fall birthdays of the littles.

 

   

After my Scentsy show, I got to my sisters and was greeted with by my sweet girls…. I was so glad to be with the family. But had already had a wonderful time with my friend at her Scentsy party.

 

Here is a picture of me and both my sisters.

Us girls with our most awesome Daddy!

 

We celebrated four birthdays. Lil E, K Bug, Con-man, and Shel. The other three sweeties we celebrate in the spring.  We had a great time. Not everyone was there, but it was a nice time. It wasn’t too crazy either. I really enjoy the time I get with the family back home. It’s always a real treat. And we always have fun.  The girls and I stayed with Dad. He enjoys our visits. Wish we lived closer and could be there lots more often.

 

   

Sunday morning we went to Church before we headed home. We just love going to Church there. We love it. And Grandaddy always has a wonderful time when we go with him. He isn’t alone this way. Yes my oldest sister attends there, but he enters and exits alone so often, it just creates him missing Momma.

the girls before Church, and me when we arrived home to Daddy-O.

 

 

Yes I had already hung up the stockings, and tried to decorate more, but Daddy-o wasn’t having it. He wanted us to wait till Thanksgiving. Lil E was about to head to Daisy Scouts.

 

Just a random picture of Lil E.

 

 

The Daisy Troop, did a project for the community. We planted a tree at the church. And decorated it for Christmas. So the meeting before, we made the various ornaments. And the station I worked, was the peanut butter on pine cones, then dipped them in bird seed. The girls all had a fun time. They had several others, but this was their favorite, as it was the messiest.

 

 

We had a camp out tea party on the bottom bunk of the girls bed. We used comforters to block as in. And we read stories and had tea while in our tent. The girls loved it. And this is way our style for a tea part.

 

 

Lil E was a Indian for Thanksgiving at School.

 

 

 

We had our own Thanksgiving. It was low key and fun.  We had fried turkey, ham, gravy, dressing, cranberry sauce, deviled eggs, potatoes,  some veggies (I don’t remembmer), and rolls. As you can see, Lil E loved the turkey, she kept picking it off when I was cleaning it of the bones. She kept picking it off and stuffing it in. K Bug’s favorite was the deviled eggs. She can’t ever get enough deviled eggs…. I am so thankful for my family!

 

Hugs and Blessings,

Thanksgiving to the end of Nov Fun (lots of pics)

It was the eve of Thanksgiving, and all my turkeys were running wild!

I did manage a few pictures and then it was back to being silly!

Thanksgiving Day, being the first without Momma, was really hard. But then I realized I had not only Lil E's old dress I made and Momma painted, that I had one that we did for my friends daughter, than she has given me back! So a piece of Momma/ Mamaw was with us all.

Outside with the deep frying turkey man!

After dinner we busted out the tunes on the Karaoke machine! We had some fun!

Black Friday, I didn't want to hit the stores. This time without mom, just didn't feel right. So I had a nice relaxing calm start to our day! The girls were so excited that the leaves had finally fallen!!!!

Daddy and I even laid down in the leaves! It was awesome!

Then we headed out to the store and such. Nothing to exciting!

Then the next day, it was time to make a pile and really play in the leaves! So we all did! It was tons of fun!!!!

Lil E even had to make leaf angels for us!

And look what Lil K had to get out of the garage to play with. The Beach ball!

Then the best of all was watching Lil E help sister swing while she was swinging too! In her words, so they both could have a lot of fun on the swings! Nothing better than sweet sisters!

That's how the end of our month went! Lots of playing in the leaves finally!!! It sure took them a long time to fall this year. But we are glad they finally did!!!

Hugs and Blessings,
