Thankful Day 14

Today I am thankful for the arts. Tonight, we took Lincoln to see his cousin Billy in the play Footloose. The play was just alright, but Lincoln was amazingly well behaved and loved every second of it.

I have loved music and plays for as long as I can remember. Travis and I have season tickets to Broadway Across America and are able to see several shows each year. It is one of my favorite things to do.

I feel so blessed to live in an area where I am able to participate in arts and am able to expose my son to them as well!

Thankful Day 13

Today I am thankful for soft toilet paper! Silly? Yup! But when you're sick it's the small things that are the most exciting! I'm still sick and seriously... Soft toilet paper makes me happy.

So, from the bottom of my heart (and my bottom) - thank you Quilted Northern 

Thankful Day 12

Today I'm thankful for water... And yogurt... And chicken soup... And toast... And a husband who will make me eat these things when I'm sick! 

I'm also thankful for my health! Overall, I'm pretty darn healthy! But when I get sick it kicks my butt! Luckily, Travis is amazing and lincoln is a great snuggler :)

Thankful Day 11

Today is Veterans Day - it is customary to talk about being thankful for those who have and currently served in the military.... I am very thankful for those men and women - specifically my father and my father-in-law.

Bill - my dad is a kind, patient, sensitive, and loving man... And even more so as a grandpa. My dad has been so supportive of me and everything I do. He is such an amazing man and I love him so much! 

Bob - my father-in-law is a wonderful guy as well. He has raised a wonderful man. He is supportive and kind and loving - and I'm lucky to have him in my life. He's also a ham and lincoln loves him to pieces!

Both of these men served in the military and are worthy of being celebrated today!

Thankful Day 10

Today I'm thankful for my cell phone. Stupid right?! But here's why:

1. I can communicate with my family and friends over email, text, phone calls, fave time

2. No matter where I am I can take pictures of Lincoln

3. It holds my music

4. It provides entertainment for myself and my son

Those things are all important to me - thus, I am thankful for the thing that provides all of these things!

Thankful Day 9

I was so busy yesterday that I didn't have time to post my thankful stuff for the day.

I'm thankful for my mom. I went to church to be supportive of my mom singing a solo.... It was wonderful! One of my favorite songs - I know that My Redeemer Lives. It was beautiful!

I've always been super sensitive to music. It speaks to me in a way that nothing else can. I'm thankful for that!

Thankful Day 8

I am so thankful for my sisters and sisters-in-law. 

Melissa: Melissa is wonderfully smart, fun, and is expecting her first child. I'm so excited for her and know she will be a great mom! She and I have become good friends and in so thankful for that!

Shayla: Shayla is smart, childlike, fun, and so silly. She loves to do just about anything and is willing to do anything for anyone! Shayla and I have always been friends and I love her to pieces.

Sarah: with an H... Sarah is such a great mom to her crazy boys and sweet girl. She is such a good example of patience to me! She loves my little guy and I adore all of her kids! I love that our children are growing up together!

Sara: no H... Sara and I aren't super close but I love her kids and she loves mine. She is always willing to watch lincoln and we love being able to spend time with her kids whenever we are able.
