Because I Have Been Given Much...

Lately I have been feeling so grateful for so so many things in my life. I have been truly blessed with so much:
  • My wonderful husband. He does so much for our family. He never complains and he puts 100% into everything that he does!

  • I am so grateful that Cody is able to get his education and has been greatly blessed to be able to continue his education to begin his Masters.

  • Taylee....We are so blessed that she is a happy and healthy little girl. Who knew that just great blessings could come in such a spirited girl?!

  • My small and comfortable little home

  • My quiet and sweet little neighborhood....I have the best neighbors by the way!

  • The opportunity to be a Mom. It truly is the BEST job in the entire world.

  • That I learn so much about myself from being a mom. It gives me the motivation and the desire to be a better person.
  • Cody and I are so lucky to have such wonderful parents who are such great examples and show us unfailing love and support!

  • the sweet and innocent smiles and words of love from Taylee! She gives the best hugs!!

  • this may sound silly....but my bed. The fact that I can lay down to sleep at night in a peaceful and safe place.

  • my health.

  • those little moments that remind me how really blessed I am when I am down and blue.

  • I am grateful that I can laugh at myself when I have those "blonde" moments.

  • that I was able to be raised in the gospel and taught those sweet principles by such great parents.

  • I am mostly and ultimately grateful for the knowledge I have that no matter my trials, my downfalls, my short comings, and my definite imperfectness, that I still have the endless love of my Heavenly Father and my Savior. And that through them I can overcome any trial, correct any imperfection, and become a better person. There is only one way to true and complete Joy and that is through the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Boise Trip/Cody's Birthday

Happy 27th Birthday Cody!!

We celebrated Cody's birthday by taking a very fun weekend trip to Boise and Twin Falls with my Mom and Dad, JP, and Wes and Katie and their kids.

We went to Roaring Springs, which was a BLAST, and then went and stayed with my Brother Wes and his family in Twin Falls. We went out to eat at Cafe Ole and they sang to Cody and he had to wear the Sombrero of coarse. It was great! It was such a fun weekend to get away and to hang out with family!

We love you Cody!

Oh and a side note......Cody and I first met on his birthday 6 years ago, so Happy Anniversary babe!!
