Thanks

I am so grateful for this time of year for so many reasons.  It makes me reflect on my life and family and the blessings the gospel brings.  It makes me realize how much I love my family and how much I like spending time together.  What a year we've had.....there is so much to be grateful for.

First and foremost I am grateful for my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.  They bless us in so many ways and this year I learned even more about their tender mercies and how they bless me and my family.  I would be lost without the gospel.  I love the Book of Mormon and all if the different ways it brings me peace.  I am grateful for the priesthood and also all the blessings I can receive from praying.  I am grateful for the guidance we have from President Monson and all of the other church leaders.  I am so blessed to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

I am so grateful to be married to Bo.  He is so great for me.  He is so good at keeping me level headed and he knows how to make me laugh when I am not in the best of moods. He is so loving and I love spending time with  him.  He is a great dad and the kids love him.  They get so excited for him to come home from work.  They love playing Hide-and-Seek with him.  Thanks for all that you do.

Families are such a blessing.  Children are a great blessing.  It is hard to be a mom sometimes.  But, it is very rewarding.  I am grateful for Hailey and the way she loves spending time and playing with me.  We are best friends and I hope that never changes.  Conrad has such a sweet and tender heart.  He makes sure everyone is happy and remembered.  I love how he loves to tell me when he is so excited about something. The look on his face is just so cute.  Jackson's personality has gotten much stronger the past couple of weeks.  He just makes us laugh.  I just love this age.  He is such a tease and I love that he says mama all the time.  It makes me feel loved :)

I have a new appreciation for health.  Last year we had a few scares with Jackson and this year was a scary year for me.  I am so grateful to be feeling better and know what's wrong.  I am so grateful I can control my Celiac's and that that's all that it is.

We have been so blessed this year by the rest of our family and friends too.  I know I said this last year but, I am grateful my good parents.  I couldn't ask for better.  They taught me well and always loved me.  They have helped out and I always know I can count on them when I need them.  I love you guys.  Thanks for all you have done for us this year.

We have also received so much help from my in-laws too.  They are so great and have helped us a lot this year too.  I know I can count you when I need anything.  It's great to have another set of parents to lean on.  I love you.

My sisters and brothers (in-laws included) are great.  I love being around you all and all you do for us.

I am also grateful for good friends.

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving.  We love you!
