Day 23-30

Well I fell behind pretty good so here are my catch up days!

Day 23- I'm thankful that I get sit down and read with Jace every night! I love to read him books and just have him sit on my lap and us snuggle up in a blanket together right before he goes to bed! Sometimes Todd joins us but he isn't into books a lot yet. But I cherish that time cause not only are we bonding together but he is also gaining a love for books and learning:)

Day 24- I'm so thankful for the little smiles my two little boys give me each day! Those smiles melt my heart and help turn my bad days turn around! 

Day 25- I'm so thankful for such a helpful husband he does so much to help around the house and with the boys! I am so very luck and blessed to have him!

Day 26- I'm thankful for my dad! He is alway willing and trying to help our family out! He does so much for us! He is always working on our cars for free. He is a good grandpa too! The boys absolutely adore him and spending time with him.

Day 27- I'm thankful that I was taught how to work hard at a young age. When my parents got divorced my mom had to count in us a lot more to do things around the house and yard (because she worked two job and at one point two job while going to school). Looking back I see how big of a blessing it was.

Day 28- I'm thankful for heated blankets! They are my favorite and I don't think I could survive without mine!

Day 29- I'm thankful for my esstential oil. At first I thought they were too good to be true and people that used them were nature freaks but seriously now that I've tried them they are amazing!!!! They have helped me and my family so much it's crazy! 

Day 30- I'm thankful for goals! Today I accomplished a huge goal (for me) I finish the Book of Mormon from cover to cover for the first time ( I know it's kinda lame I haven't read it cover to cover before but I'm excited I have finally done it)! Cause im sure if counted reading sections here and there I would have already read it threw but I really want to read it straight threw and I did!!! 

Thanksgiving Feast

Nate and I had our thanksgiving dinner tonight! We invited Sean to come over and help us eat all of the food:) We had a lot of fun!! This year I decided to try and cook our turkey a little different instead of in the oven I did it in our crockpot and boy it it turn our yummy!! I think this is how I'm going to do it from now on! It was so fun cook a little meal for us and doing our own traditions as a family! I don't think I have ever been so excited to eat the left overs (turkey sandwiches!)! We are beyond blessed in so many ways!!

Day 22

Day 22 I'm thankful that the love I have for my little family continues to grow more and more each day! Just when I think I can't love anymore my Heavenly Father shows me I can :)

Silly Todd

This is how Todd was sleeping today during his nap! He started out laying down then he started moving and need up with his face in the blankets by his feet then he moved into this position haha. I thought it was pretty cute and funny!

Day 19, 20, and 21

Day 19 I'm thankful that I have been able to do a few things on the side to make some money for our brother in laws wedding!

Day 20  I'm thankful that Nate and I got to go on another date this week! That is 2 dates in one month pretty sure that's a record for since we had kids!

Day 21 I'm thankful I'm thankful for family history! I love doing family history work (don't do it as much as I should but I love it!). I love learning more about them!

My First Car

Today we sold my old car... It was bitter/sweet. Lots of memories in that car. The car was original a light blue but was very spotty so my dad thought he would paint it white ha (I tried to convince him to paint it black but he said white would look better). I was so excited to get a car I didn't care what it looked like cause it was mine:) The first time I met Nate we were driving in my car and Nate was making fun of me cause I duck taped something that was falling off back on the bottom of my car. I have  driven my car since just before me and Nate got married cause we upgraded to a Honda civic!

Bragging Moment

So I just have to put this down for the record... I beat Nate in the wall sit!!! That's right I wasted him! I did it for 3 min and Nate was only able to do it for 1min and 32 seconds. I'm pretty proud of myself cause I can NEVER beat Nate in anything that has to do with sports or strength.

Day 18

Day 18 I'm thankful for my mom is so willing to babysit for us. She is always so good about babysitting for Nate and I when we need her to on her day off. She has saved us a lot of money and stress.

Jace Being Sneaky

So today Nate was reading and when he got up and wasn't looking Jace took his book and put it away with our other books. This is how it happened It was the funniest thing- a few minutes after we had put jace down for his nap Nate realized his book was gone. At first he thought I had taken it. So we searched for about ten minutes then I said are you sure Jace didn't take it? We both started laughing cause we were pretty sure he had. Jace tried to come out so Nate darted in to act like he was going to put him to sleep but he was really just trying to find his book then he asked Jace where it was... But I had him get out so Jace could sleep and as soon as I walked out I saw it on our shelf ha

Bath Time

They both wouldn't look at me at the same time ha the little stinks! Sure love these boys:)

Seriously never a dull moment with these munchkins :) they both LOVE bath time! They just splashed and giggled the whole time they are in the tub!

Just a little video of the two cutie!!!!

Day 14, 15, 16, and 17

Day 14 I'm thankful that our washer and dyer are in our bathroom never thought I would like it but I do! It's so nice to be able to watch the boys in the bath tub and fold the laundry at the same time :)

Day 15 I'm so thankful that my Heavenly Father answers my prayers! It is truly amazing that he knows just when or how to answer my prayers! 

Day 16 I'm thankful snow!! I absolutely love it!! Today when it snowed I was so excited to go outside and play in it with the boys that I wanted to wake them up at 6:30 so we could go outside and play! I love playing in it and I love it when everything is white!

Day 17 I'm thankful for the opportunity I have had to be pregnant 3 times! Even though my pregnancies aren't the easiest for me. I can honestly say they that they have all been a trail that I have later realized were blessings (as hard as it is to believe being sick most of a pregnancy can be a blessing). I am grateful that my body is able to preform these little miracles!   

Date

Nate and I got to go on a date today!! A big thanks to Sean for watching our two boys (actually his first time watching Todd)! I am always nervous and sad when I leave my kids (even with my mom I have to check in on the kids to make sure they are doing good). Nate says I have really bad separation anxiety. But we had lots of fun just the two if is! And Nate is a pretty good and handsome date too :)

Getting ready to watch Thor 2 at fat cats in rexburg! It was such a good movie! 

  

Day 13

I'm thankful that at a young age I learned the importance of saving my money. I babysat a lot and only asked for money for my birthday so I could save all my money. And because I was able to save my money I bought my own school clothes since I was 12, I helped my mom when she needed money, I was able to buy my mom her first set of temple clothes and couches, and just things like that it. It taught my how to be more responsible with my money so glad I was able to learn that at a young age:)

The Hickory

Today we went out to eat at The Hickory only because they were having some pretty awesome deals $1 (for each) sandwiches, basket fries (huge), and sodas (also huge). We decided to be there when they opened so we wouldn't have to fight any other people. When it started to get close to opening they got about 10 other people outside waiting with us. I was glad we got there when we did cause they were way busy when we left. So since we are trying to save money for Sean and Chelsea's wedding we figured this would be perfect for our eating out for the month! My dad and jake decided to come with us which was really fun :) The food was awesome!! Being the forgetful person I am I forgot to get any pictures :(. My dad decided to be awesome and ended up paying for everything which was sweet of him. 

Day 12

I'm thankful for my washer and dryer. It would be such a pain to have to wash all my clothes by hand and it would be really hard to dry all the clothes in our house when it was too cold to put them outside. They make my life a lot easier that's for sure:)

Day 9, 10, 11

Day 9 I'm thankful that my husband is not a picky eater at ALL!! Cause sometimes I get these ideas on what to eat I think will be great and usually they end up not being so great.

Day 10 I'm thankful for our apartments we have lived in. We have had some pretty great memories in each of those places I wouldn't change for anything! 

Day 11 im thankful that we live close to our families! I loving able to see our families often and being able to be with them on the holidays.

Day 8

I am grateful for the LDS temples! Nate and I got to go threw and be apart of my brother and his family being sealed together for all eternity! It was so much fun and so exciting to see there three boys dressed in white to be sealed to there parents! The temples are such a wonderful place that bring us closer as families so glad that I get to be with mine forever can't imagine having it any other way.

My brother Trevor his wife Jamie and there three kids Barrett, Kolter, and Wyatt 

Jace Getting Adjusted

Jace got adjusted for the for the first time today by is uncle Brennan. He was a little unsure about it but after watching Nate and I get adjusted first he jump right up on the adjusting table! Brennan was just going to rub his neck a little and putting this vibrating message thing on him but he noticed he needed a little adjusting :) so Brennan asked Jace if he wanted to listen to the popcorn in his neck and of course jace got excited and said "yeeeaah" after that he got to try the message thing and I'm pretty sure he loved every minute of being adjusted ha (he held so still the whole time). I wouldn't trusted anyone else to have adjusted my baby then Brennan he is an awesome chiropractor! Jace was telling his aunt Mary about his experience and I was saying how he got to hear the popcorn in his neck and he like "ya popcorn in neck"  pointing to his neck ha it was so cute!! Sad I didn't take any pictures though

Day 7

I'm grateful today for a awesome brother in law Brennan who is willing to let us come in an get adjusted for free!!! My neck has been killing me and we were finally able to come see him and I'm so glad we did cause I feel a hundred times better! I would be in so much pain without Brennan's help!

Todd's First Haircut

Todd's first haircut!! He looks so cute and different!! But I love it! He did really good getting his hair cut for the first few min but hated it after that! No more red in his hair.

Day 6

Today I'm grateful for my health!! I have been super blessed that I can see, hear, walk and run, talk, feel, and some more little things like that. Can't even image not being able to see my sweet boys as the grow up or hear there little noises or laughs. I am so thankful for my health don't know what I would do with out it!

Day 5

I'm thankful for my camera!! I love being able to record or take pictures that I can have forever and enjoy whenever I want! Today I was able to record Jace saying his name it was the cutest thing ever how he says williams and now I can remember that FOREVER!! 

Day 4

I'm thankful for the example of my son Jace. He is such a stud!! At church he is really good about having his arms folded during sacrament meeting (he using will fold his arms during the whole sacrament, prayers, and songs ha) and if he sees me or Nate not folding our arms he makes  sure he reminds us to fold our arms! He is one of the most loving and giving kids! Loves to give everyone hugs and kisses (which are the absolute best and sweetest thing). He is always trying to share his treats or food with Todd or mommy and daddy! He reminds me everyday to be a better person just by the little things he does! I love my Jace!!!

Day 3

I'm thankful for the opportunity I have to be a stay at home mother! I can't even imagine not being able to see the cute little things they do like my son Todd learning to drive a toy car on the floor for the first time or the boys chasing each other around the kitchen. They grow so fast and I can't image how fast it would go by if I wasn't home with them all day!! I love being able to see them learn and being able to kiss them when they fall or just cause I can:) I can't describe all the wonderful things I get to experience everyday cause I get to be a stay at home mom. I'm so grateful for a husband that works so hard to make this possible for me!!

Day 2

I'm so thankful for the gospel! Without the gospel I would be lost. It gives me a purpose and something to look forward to! The gospel has helped me so much in my life and I know it has made me a better person. I am proud to be a Mormon!!!

Day 1

So I decided for Everyday in November I would write about something I'm grateful for. So today I'm grateful for my 3 boys!!

These boys are my world!!! I serious don't know what I would do with out them! They can turn any bad day around for me. They bring me so much joy in my life! I thank my father in heaven for these 3 everyday!!!
