Today I am so thankful that I live in the USA.  I am so thankful that I have the right to vote and help chose our next president or whatever I can vote for.  Just another thing I am blessed for!!

So Thankful #5

I am so thankful for my daycare kids!  I have added a few more since this summer, and I am thankful for them too!  Without them, I wouldn't have a job, plus having several extra kids to love is a huge bonus!!

PUMPKINS!

The kids couldn't wait to carve their pumpkins!  They have been begging me for a few weeks now!  So this day was the day!

 

She did a great job cleaning out her pumpkin!  She did a lot of it herself!

 

Josh did his whole pumpkin this year!  I am glad he is at an age where he can do his own now.

 

Jake did about 85 % of his own too, I clean out some of it, but that was it!  Dad drew his pattern  to put onto the pumpkin.  He was so excited to do this!

 

Josh is done!  He was quick!  He didn't want to do any patterns, but I really like his pumpkin face!

 

Jake carving his out!!

 

All done and lit!!

 

Josh and his pumpkin

 

Jake and his deer pumpkin!  He was IN LOVE with it!  He was really proud of it!

 

I did Alyssah's pumpkin, but she was SO excited when it was done!

 

All lit!

 

So cool!

 

LOVE!!

I am SO Thankful for my parents and Mark's parents.  Without them, I wouldn't be where I am today.  Who knows what I would be!! :)

SNOW!!

We have gotten some snow lately here, and the kids are loving it!  They couldn't wait to get on the sled and go!

 

Getting ready to go!  I love Jakes face here! ;)

 

I love the snow cloud behind them!  They cruise down that hill!

 

 

 

Coming back up, and of course Jake has to eat snow! ;)  They love winter!

So Thankful #2

God and His son Jesus Christ. Without Them, I would be nothing.

Joshua, you have made us SO proud!  You are growing up into a nice young man!  I love how much you have grown in the last year!  So far in school you are doing EXCELLENT!!  I hope you continue to work hard at everything you do!  You are doing great in Tae Kwan Do, and I really hope you continue to do so!  The instructors told us that you have the potential to do really well as you get older and I would love to see you continue!  You are a sweet kid and I hope you stay that way :)  We love you Josh and I look forward to seeing you become a man!
