Day 14 of Gratitude!

This is way late but better late than never...right?! :)

I'm grateful for sleep! Sleep is so energizing and desperately needed when you are a mother of two kids under two.

My kids are pretty good sleepers too thankfully! Berkley usually sleeps for 11 hours straight at night then takes a 3-4 hour nap during the day...wonderful!

Nixon sleeps 8-10 hours straight each night (which is fantastic because he has only been in his own bed in his own room for two weeks now) and usually takes two 3 hour naps during the day!

I definitely can't complain about their sleep habits! Right now (at 9 am) they are both asleep still which is amazing and I love it!

I'm also thankful to have a nice, warm bed to sleep in! In addition to that, I'm grateful for Aaron being so sweet and making his half of the bed before he went to work today...love him to death! :)

Day 13 of Gratitude!

I am grateful for relief society and the way that the church is organized. It was wonderful to get out of the house tonight, even if only for an hour, and get to spend time with other sisters in the ward making things for the Festival of Trees! It was the perfect break for me and now I'm so excited for the Festival of Trees and I hope we actually make it this year!

Day 12 of Gratitude!

I am very thankful for great friends! We have a lot of friends but there are a few of our friends who are ALWAYS there for us and I very much appreciate them being such an important part of our lives!

I was blessed to spend time with two of the best friends a girl could have today, Ashley and Heather, and it was perfect!

I got to pick up Ashley from the airport (from going to see Ryan at his graduation from basic training in Texas) and take her home to Ogden and hang out with her for a while and it was a blast to just sit and chat and have Berkley entertain us. I sure will miss her when she moves to Texas next month. :(

After I dropped her off I got to go see Heather and check out her new apartment. Her and Brad are awesome friends! We got to go to her family's cabin at Bear Lake a few weeks ago and we had a blast! Today we just sat and talked and watched Berkley play some more!

I love having good, dependable, loving friends to turn to and share my life with! :) Thanks for making today great!

Day 11 of Gratitude!

I'm grateful for the men and women who serve our country in the military! I have several close family members and friends who are currently in the military and who have retired and passed on and I am so grateful for their service!

Just to name a few...my dad, my grandpas, Aaron's dad (Dave), several of my cousins, and one of our very best friends (Ryan-literally just graduated from basic training for the Air Force)!

I love and appreciate all of them and the others who put their lives at risk to fight for our lives and our freedom. I'm so thankful for those who fought for our freedom!

Day 10 of Gratitude!

I'm thankful for Christmas movies and hot chocolate that bring my family together for a night of fun! We had a blast watching Elf tonight and drinking hot chocolate...Berkley wasn't too sure about the hot chocolate though! :) It was perfect! Especially with the nice blanket of snow outside!

Day 9 of Gratitude!

Today I'm grateful to live in the beautiful state of Utah! I get to enjoy warm summers, beautiful mountains, colorful flowers, relaxing lakes, and SNOW!

It's snowing this morning and I just love how beautiful it is outside! I'm totally in the mood for Christmas now! The last time it snowed a few weeks ago Berkley just looked at it and said "wow!" over and over again! I can't wait to see her reaction today!

I remember looking out the window as a kid, anxious to see snow and so excited when I did and I honestly still get that excited feeling the first couple of times it snows!

I would be so sad if I didn't get to live in Utah because it really is such a beautiful place and I appreciate living here more and more each time I travel out of state!

Day 8 of Gratitude!

I'm going to keep this one short because it's way past my bedtime (and I'm late, once again!) but I am grateful for tv and movies!

I love just hanging out with my husband and watching something on the tv. I especially love that we almost always watch what I want to watch...including Pretty Little Liars!

A few other shows we watch together are Modern Family, The Big Bang Theory, The Office, Baby Daddy, How I Met Your Mother, and Revenge. I love the drama! It never gets old for me! That's it! Goodnight!
