My Thanks

Here are just some fun pictures. We watched MaKenna and Piper Halloween weekend and everyone had so much fun. Then we have Mr. Brigham enjoying some chocolate ice cream and finally Brinley trying on my wig that I wore for Halloween. I figured that I have this blog that I use for my journal, so I really should take the time to write afew things I am thankful for.


**My family is numero uno on my list! I adore my children and my husband and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't thank my Father in Heaven for blessing me so abundantly. I always wanted a big family, but still feel truly blessed that the Lord has aloud me to have each of these special spirits in our lives. They bring me great job and much laughter and I couldn't live without them.
** My husband deserves his own shout out. There really aren't many like him; he is my hero, my best friend, my support, the love of my life and such an amazing example to me and to our kids. He loves us unconditionally (that means crazy pregnant lady and ALL), takes care of us, helps me, teaches his children...........I could go on and on! People ask me all the time, "how do you do it" well here is my secret....Devin!! I would NEVER be able to do this on my own and he is an amazing help to me. Weather it comes to cooking, cleaning, giving baths, grocery shopping, planning FHE, running my "in town" errands; you name it he does it. I love him so much!
** I am truly blessed and grateful for my extended family; parents, siblings. They are all such a huge support to me and I have truly found my best friends in my family members!
** I am so grateful for the health and strength of each of my family members; children, husband, parents, siblings......with all of the things life throws at us, I find myself being very thankful that we are all healthy!
** I am very thankful to have been brought up in this gospel and to have a husband who helps us continue to grow and learn. I couldn't imagine going through life without the knowledge of a loving Savior and Heavenly Father. And that no matter what I do I always have somewhere to turn and find comfort and solace through prayer and scripture study.
** I am grateful for the ward we belong to and the area in which we live. There are amazing people out here and I am blessed by the people around me and their kindness and good example.
** I am really thankful for my beautiful home and our reliable vehicles that we have. I don't think that is vain or "worldly". I see the Lords hand in everything and I have much gratitude for the things I have been blessed with. Especially with the amount of children I have, I am so thankful to have room in our house for all these little critters and a nice vehicle to cart them all around in. I know that none of that would be, with out the Lords blessings.
** I am very blessed and grateful for the gifts the Lord has given me and love all of my friends and family whom I hold so dear to me.
