Thankful Thankful!

As I woke up this morning at 6:45am to my 3 year singing "I am a child of God, and he has sent me here, has given me an earthly home with parents kind and dear, walk beside,lead me guide help me find the way... I am a child of God... Yes he was half asleep too and I just thought about how many things I am so grateful for while he tried so hard to sing the right words.

1. I am grateful for the gospel in my life and how it has already enriched my beautiful children's lives.

2. I am grateful for the new life I have growing inside of me, especially to feel him kick and know that he is there. I am so excited for this new life and a little scared too. But to know Heavenly Father will be right by our side helping us through the tough times.

3. I am so grateful for the neighborhood I live in. Everyone is so genuine, caring and loving. Everyone dreams of a huge mansion and I am just grateful to have a home and be surrounded by people that I know truly care and are there in times of need. Especially grateful for our next door neighbors who have helped me so much in the last month while Jesse has been away for business. Glad that is over with and we can have him home with us again.

4. I am so grateful for my sisters and my mom, hopefully Aspen will really have a sister one day to have that special sister bond.

5. I am so grateful for my husband and for all he does for our growing family. He is the best daddy and husband ever.
