I am thankful for the last 6 months!!! Meili is six months old today, and we have LOVED every minute with her! She has such a special spirit, and lights up whenever you walk in the room. I am SO grateful that we have been blessed with such a sweet little angel!!

Meili is sitting up so well, and is starting to get around really well on her tummy. I think she is going to be crawling soon. She is getting her first tooth, and has been a little grumpy because of it. She loves her sister and brothers, and LOVES her blankie! We love you Mei Mei!!

I am Thankful for Cousin Lateovers!! For the last few years, Tyler's sister and brothers and us have been trading dates nights. Once a month I get to have all the cousins over for a fun night so the other couples can go out.

The boys...Kaden, Garrett, and Riley. They spent most the night making mini-movies on the flip camera.
The Littles... Jacob, Brighton, Kate & Madison. They were in heaven playing w/ the trains.
The Girls... Abby, Avery, Camri, & Meili. They wanted to watch a chick flick on my bed. Thank goodness for Strawberry Shortcake! :)
My kids love getting together every weekend w/ their cousins!

I am thankful that my kids are active and healthy!!

Riley's soccer team had an excellent season! They were undefeated. Their games were SO fun to watch!! Thanks to the great coach!! (I can say that because it was Tyler)

Now Jacob's team was 100% defeated! His games were a little sad, but Jake did so good on the field, and never stopped trying!

Abby is my little dancer! She has passed off her right, left, and middle splits. I could never do the middle splits, so she already has one up on me.

I am thankful for... #3

I am thankful for Family Night!!

We have been sharing our favorite stories in the Book of Mormon for the last few weeks, then drawing little pictures of them in the margins to help the kids remember what they are about. It has been really fun seeing the scriptures come alive to them.

I am thankful for Naptime!!!!
I am thankful for Jacobs' fun imagination that Never Stops!! Batman and the Batmobile have been making frequent stops to our house lately.
Fly Batman, fly!

I am thankful for...

I have been thinking a lot lately about all the things I am grateful for. I guess it comes with the season. I have been blessed so much, and I need to take a second each day to help me remember how important the little things are in life.

So... I am thankful that Tyler got us tickets to Disney on Ice! It was so fun being there w/ my kids. Anything Disney makes you feel young at heart.

I LOVED the Rapunzel scene. I think she is my new favorite princess.

My favorite part was the very end when all of the princesses came out together and danced with their princes.

And the winner is....

Riley!!!

He had his 2nd Raingutter Rigata for Scouts, and he did SOOO good! He did win overall, but more than that, I was so proud of him. He did all the work on his own boat, wanting it to be a Scout theme. He was able to go early to practice blowing his boat, and there were a couple of boys that were having troubles w/ theirs. Riley stepped in, observed the situation, and helped the boys fix their boats so they would do well.

He really is growing up, and I am so proud of the good decisions that he is making.

Way to go RI!!!
