gratitude


What a wonderful thanksgiving we've had. The day began with Matt & I going to breakfast just the two of us. It was so nice to just be together. We then came home and began fixing what turned out to be a very delicious meal. Matt smoked the turkey first then completed baking it in the oven to perfection! Seriously it was the best turkey we've had. So moist, flavorful and yummy. Everything was ready to eat right at the same time which is always hard to get the timing right on with such a big meal. Matt and I have always enjoyed working together in the kitchen. He had everything mapped out so it all went so smoothly. After eating till we couldn't breath we went around the table and each of us shared what we are grateful for. Some of the things that were mentioned: mom and dad, friends, education, grandparents, neighbors, family, food, clothes, and our home. I am so grateful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ and for Prayer. I can't imagine where I would be without my Saviors love in my life. So very much to be grateful for this holiday season, especially just being together. . . . .

Parent Teacher Conferences


Today Matt & I went to Westridge Elementary to meet with Wyatt, Porter and Connor's teachers. It was so wonderful to hear such kind things being said about them. You can tell they are loved by their teachers. We are so proud of their great attitudes towards school and doing their best everyday. Now if only they could get along with each other. :) We are so blessed with such good boys and a sweet little girl. I took Connor to the doctor since his been coughing for a week and now his on an antibiotic. Poor guy. We watched Carsyn for Tianne who went to Matt's concert at the Y with other family members and also watched the movie Wall-E. I liked the message of the movie but I won't be watching it again tomorrow if you know what I mean. I finally put together a music playlist on this blog site which was fun to do. So now the kids and I can shake it here in the dining room while listening to my picks. Matt even moves it somewhat which is very intertaining to watch. Been a full good day.
