A thought- I Am So Blessed

So, have you ever had a day when you realized that you were a very lucky person? I realized that today. I am going to school and loving what I am studying. I am married to the best guy on the planet (and as of lately he has proven this a million times over), I am able to work when I want, I have the best kids in the world, I have a home, and family that love me. I really have nothing to be complaining about. I know that I am definately loved by my Heavenly Father, and I am truly blessed. While I was at work tonight I was listening to Pandora, and Martina Mc Bride's song Blessed came on, I think this lead me to ponder how lucky I am. I am so blessed. Thanks you Heavenly Father!!! Many people are not so blessed with a loving family, a home over their heads, a supportive husband, and family. I am also blessed that I am able to chose to do what I want and that I have my freedom. We are all blessed... May you count your many blessing today!

Smores and More Smores on the Fourth of July

We went with Grandma Lori, Grandpa Terry, and Aunt Carolyn to Birch Bay for a picnic on the fourth

of July and had a picnic. Aunt Carolyn was a favorite because she brought the goodies to make Smores!!!

Ballet Recital

I have a great video of Franny in her ballet recital, but I can't get it to upload, so here is a picture. She did an amazing job in the recital even though she was scared to death. I am so proud of her and all the challenges she has taken on and done great at. She is a very talented little girl. I just love her so much.

Birch Bay means crabs, rocks,barnacles, and lots of fun!

Our kids had never been to the beach before, so one Saturday Terry and I decided to take them to the bay. My mom has always had a special place in her heart for Birch Bay, and has passed that love of the ocean on to me. I wanted my kids to have a similar experience. We were there for a full afternoon, and our kids asked to go back lots of times. It was a day we will all remember for a while! We have been back a couple of time since then and they are always excited when they hear it is Birch Bay we are going to. I loved hearing them yell "A crab, get it. hurry get it get it. It was a great day. We even found a star fish on a rock. I haven't seen one of those there before. What a fun day!!!!

more t-ball

Isn't she so cute!! I love this little girl! It was interesting the difference between t-ball and softball, but I loved every minute as did she!

T-ball

Franny had the oportunnity to play t-ball this year. She is taking after her mom and her Aunt Shanna and is quite the little t-ball player. Ironically, Mario was originally signed up, but then broke his arm on the trampoline. So we could either lose our money or pay $15.00 and let Franny play. She did great. She looked forward every week to getting to play her games. We even had grandma and grandpa's come and watch. I think she flet like a real star. I was very proud of her and her efforts. I also loved that this gave her lots of daddy/ daughter time.

Okay, so I have been hearing about my lack of posting, sooooooo get ready here they come!!!
