The things that made me smile today!!

I thought I would share the things that made me smile today.

* Courtney(my 2 year old) walking around butt naked except for her dress up high heels.

* Totally forgetting to feed my husbands horses this morning cuz he is out of town and knowing I won't tell him and he will never know.

* Seeing Sydney (my 7 year old) come home from school and the first thing she wants to do is shoot hoops. (this makes me smile cuz I thought for sure she would end up being a cheerleader)

* Watching Courtney sneak an olive off of Kamry's plate at dinner and then laugh to herself when Kamry didn't even see her.

* Sitting in my living room watching my three girls do their own version of their Christmas program on our fireplace. I hope the real version is better.

* Having Sydney come to me and say, "mom, listen to Kamry is she lying", Then having Kamry trying to lie without me knowing but she can never do that.

* Brinley smiling that smile every time I go to get her out of her crib.

*Missing my husband and then being glad that we have such a good relationship that I was actually missing him.

I could keep going but you have the gist of what my day was like. With Thanksgiving just a few days away, I just have been thinking how lucky I am. I am so grateful to have the husband that I do and for my girls. I am grateful for my health. With all that my dad has had to go through with his cancer, it really makes me realize that all my trials are so small compared to what he has to go through every day. I am so very blessed in all aspects of my life. To have the knowledge of the gospel that I will be with my family for eternity. It makes all the craziness of this world right now bearable. Have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Brinley

I took Brinley to the doctor today and she weighed 19 lbs. She is a chunk. I can't beleive it she is getting too big too fast. Maybe because she is probably going to be our last baby, I am having a hard time. She is so much fun and we are so very blessed to have her in our home. Special thanks to Aunt Penny for the cute outfit. Even if it is 12-18 months and she is only 5 months. Thats okay I would rather have a healthy chubby baby anyways.

My Kamry is one in a million. And for those of you who know Kamry, totally know what I am talking about. I thought I should share something she said a few weeks ago. I am just a little slow on posting it. She had a talk in primary on service. So we had labeled different parts of the body with ways we could give service. As we were practicing Kamry says, "We forgot to use nose!" So then I said, "There isn't anything we could use for nose". So then she says, "Yeah mom we could put smell the holy spirit!" So I said, "You can't smell the holy spirit." And of course she says, "Yes, (sniff, sniff) can't you smell him?" And she was really confused as to why she couldn't say that in her talk. It was so funny. I laughed for days about it. That is one thing Kamry does she makes me laugh every day. And thank goodness for that cuz sometimes that is the only thing that gets me through the day.

It's a Wacky Halloween!!

Sydney as Cruella De Vil (that is her real hair)


Dr. Kamry to surgery




Brinley the Lady Bug


Courtney the Dalmatian


The girls had so much fun for Halloween. We went to trunk or treat at the church, then they had dinner, and then a carnival. Scott was in charge of the spook alley and he of course did an awesome job. Kamry wouldn't even go in. They had fun but as a mom I am glad it is over.
