Fhe and gratitude

Fhe (Family home evening) was great Monday night,

Jackson was in charge and we played Minute to Win it.

We had so much fun.

Here are some of the crazy things we

did..

apple stacking was tricky

blowing 51 cards and leaving 1 on the vase was harder than it looked!

The subtle change in the weather

here in Az, makes me think about

gratitude (not sure why).

I may have done a post like this last year or so,

but I just felt that I wanted to

add to my gratitude list.

2010 has been full of many growing experiences

and I guess that I have been reflecting on them lately so

I wanted to add to my list.

So

here is some of what I am grateful for in 2010...

my home, husband,

Haley, Jackson, Madison and Jake,

extended family, great friends, RCBB,

What's your Virtue, my fast paced crazy life,

The Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at ASU,

my faith, my Savior, being a visiting teacher,

temples to be married in, a Prophet

and General Conference that I get

to watch this

weekend.

15 years and 6 months

We have big news.....

Jackson got his drivers permit!!

He even got it on his first try.

He is a good learner

and

of course, he wants to drive all the time.

I am selfishly excited for when he

can drive himself to batting lessons or run

to the grocery store for me.

Either way I win

and I love that.

Jake Bennett

this is our caboose.... Jake Bennett with his

girlfriend Scout.

He loves to play with her, tease her

and love her.

She feels the same about him.

Jake loves to do everything with his dad and his

big brother Jackson.

He is a funny little man but he

totally fits into our family

and we wouldn't know what to do without him.

It is hard to believe that he started

1st grade this year.

He loves school but his favorite parts are

lunch, recess and PE.

I am sure that he will have his

teacher wrapped around

his finger by the end of the month.

He has mastered that skill for sure!

Boutique Season is here

Can you believe that we are now in the 4th quarter of the year??

I can't!

That means that I become a weekend boutique crazed woman

selling this.

Don't get me wrong....I love this and I love selling this,

but what it means is that I need more crock-pot recipes!!
