ON THE 12TH DAY OF CHRISTMAS...

On the 12th day of Christmas....

Today I am thankful for my testimony.. I am thankful for the gospel in my life..

I know that I am a daughter of our Heavenly Father. I know that the gospel was restored through Joseph Smith for us today. I know the book of mormon is true. I know that if I live righteously that I will be able to live with my family for time and all eternity. I know that Jesus died for me. I know that through the priesthood wonderful blessings can happen if we have faith. I know the power of tithing and fast offerings. I am thankful that we have the opportunity to give and be blessed through those actions. I am so grateful for family prayer. For the opportunity it gives us twice a day to kneel together and thank our Heavenly Father. I love to hear the simple prayers of my boys, and oh the spirit that comes into our home through those simple prayers.

I know that I am not perfect and that is why I have been sent here on earth. I am thankful for the opportunity that I have to become better, to learn the Christ like attributes. I am thankful for the chance I have to help others and love them as our Heavenly Father loves all of his Children. I may not get it first go around, but I sure try to be a good friend, sister, mom, wife, daughter, granddaughter, cousin, and any other hat that I have been given to accomplish.

I truly hope that this Christmas finds you all healthy, happy and remembering why we celebrate. We don't celebrate for the candy, cookies, presents... we celebrate this time of year in memory of our Saviors birth.

Merry 12th day of Christmas!!!! Love you all.

ON THE 11TH DAY OF CHRISTMAS...

On the 11th day of Christmas my true love was sent to me........

Today I am thankful for Kennen. I am thankful for his gentle ways. I am thankful for his advise. I am thankful for his knowledge of the Gospel. I am thankful that he holds and honors his priesthood. I am thankful for the wonderful daddy he is. I am thankful that he does his church callings and does them well and he loves the youth he serves. I am thankful that he provides for me and our boys. I am thankful for the BEST friend that he is.

I am thankful that a little over 13 years ago... He drove to Price to "meet up with his sister" even though she was heading home that next morning. I am thankful that he didn't give up on me. I was a stubborn person and didn't want to date someone with so many differences. I guess opposites attract... I am thankful that he has been here for me through so much. I know that many would have given up on me. He has stood by my side when I have been very ill, dealing with deaths, being a first time mom, helping friends and putting our house 2nd, with me just being me. I know I am not the easiest person to get along with, and he does and he still tells me very often how much he loves me.

I am so thankful for Kennen in my life. I am thankful for all he does for me and the boys. Sweetheart I LOVE YOU and wish you a very merry Christmas...

Hope that you can all tell your Husbands/wives today how much you love them and how much you appreciate them and what they do for you.

Merry 11th day of Christmas..

ON THE 10TH DAY OF CHRISTMAS.......

On the 10th day of Christmas... I am thankful for the little spunker that is 5. I am so thankful for Sid and his little personality. I am thankful for the chatter, laughter, and everything else he brings into our home.

Sid says the cutest, funniest things. He is a hoot to have around. He is still very loud (as some may know it is cause he can not hear.. he has holes in his eardrums) But, Sid would not be Sid without the loudness.

I am thankful for his sweet little ways. He is very gentle, loving, he cares about everyone and everything. He has an imagination that is out of this world. It is so very fun listening to him and having him explain all of his army guy stuff.

He is usually a very big helper. He loves babies and is so dang cute with them. He thinks Kolbi is the bestest ever and always wants to help watch her.

He talks often of Springville, which is very important to him. He talks of HIS Ashleigh and HIS sisters. He still doesn't understand why he can not see them everyday. He talks of his friends there and Bud and Afton, Becca and of Grandma Sandra. What a wonderful little memory that little boy has. He doesn't forget people or places.

I am so thankful that Heavenly Father sent him to our family. I am thankful that he is so much like my dad. I am thankful that he is who he is. We love him.

We hope you have a very merry 10th day of Christmas. Hope Sid makes a smile on your face for the day.

ON THE 9TH DAY OF CHRISTMAS....

On the 9th day of Christmas... I am Thankful for Robbie... I am thankful for the wonderful big brother he is. I am thankful that he is such a great big brother. I am so thankful that this year he loves school once again. I am thankful for such a good student. He is reading on a 7th grade level and is in the 4th grade. I am so glad he loves reading. I love reading. I am so thankful that he helps with so many things even when there are days he complains a little he will still help. I am so thankful he is coming out of his shell. I am thankful that he is so good to all of the kids he is around. He is truly wonderful to all little children.

He loves to read, play video games (no matter the gaming system), hanging with his friends, playing with his brother, scouts. He is such a good kid. I am glad he is part of our family. I can't imagine life without him.

Happy 9th day of Christmas.
