What I am thankful for

I have been blessed with so much.  Most recently I've been blessed with a wonderful husband, sister...Kate you rock!), and brother-in-law who put on a fabulous Thanksgiving dinner for 10 while I lay sick in bed (perhaps to them it seemed a little too "miraculous" that I felt good enough to come out just before it was time to eat but it was true and I at least managed to make the gravy.)  I am beyond thankful for my family.  I am also so grateful for truths I have.  I just saw this video that sums up so much of the reason as to why I am grateful for the church I belong to.  Here it is,

Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving!

From the Mouth of Babes

"Don't worry mom, I know what to do if Lucy's eye gets poked out. We could just roll up some tape and tape her eye back in.  I think that's how Heavenly Father does it."
-Marian (after being told not to let Lucy hold a pencil)

"No, no no!"
-Lucy

"Mom, next time you need to pay me in cash!"
-Jack

(after throwing up several times during the night) "I guess if I am sick I'd better not go to church.  Cause if I got sick, every other kid would get sick...then the whole church would be a mess."
-Jack

"I won't miss you.  I have other friends so I will forget about you."
-Marian
...said to our wonderful family guests as we dropped them off at the airport.  Her ability to know the exact right thing to say seems to come with a dark side.  (Don't worry Brian and Liz...she says the same thing to me all the time when she packs her bag to run away...about once a week.  I like to think that she doesn't mean it).

"Mom, when you get a foot hurt, lie on the couch, watch a movie and read a magazine."
-Marian

Happy Halloween




This was the only shot where Lucy actually had her hat on




Marian was thrilled to have her face painted!  I'm not sure we shouldn't  have just left her cute little face alone...but she loved being green!

For the record...I was the donut eating champion for the 3rd year in a row at our yearly babysitting co-op Halloween party.  Just so you know.
