Sunday Grains of Gratitude....

Grains of Gratitude

Hi - it's me - the delinquent blogger :) In my defense - I have been away - I should have put a Gone Surfin' sign up on my blog :) But - I'm back - although it is my summer goal to not spend much time on the computer this summer - but doing more things with my kids and getting my house more in order - oh - and dieting and exercising too :) Doesn't that all sound fun :) I have much to be grateful for this week - so - here it goes.....

This week I'm grateful...

for Fathers - my own Dad is so fantastic and such an inspiration to me - and he puts up with being Brady's jungle gym when he comes to visit because Brady loves him so much he just wants to be with him all the time :) - the hubs, who is amazing and everything I could ever have hoped for in a husband and father, and my FIL who is so great to my kids - always remembering their birthdays and making them feel special :)

for the last two weeks in Hawaii with C. She is such a great daughter and we had so much fun with her :) I am so grateful we had the time and I will miss her so much when she goes away to college!

for Big K who watched the other kids while we were gone. It's a lot of responsibility to watch your younger siblings and two weeks is a long time. She did a great job and I'm grateful that she was willing to do it - thanks Big K!

for our safe journey, by plane, by sea, by car :) It was an adventure and oh so very beautiful and fun :)

for welcome home snuggles and big kisses and hugs from my kiddos!

that the boys were safe on their campouts while we were gone. J had two different campouts - one a varsity scout high adventure camp - that "rocked", and another Helaman's Camp for the boys 16 to 18 in our stake that was more spiritual. H just had an overnighter, but they backpacked in and out a couple of miles - his first backpacking campout :) They both had great times and I am grateful they were safe :)

for all my blessings - they are many - and I am so grateful for all the Lord has blessed me with :)

What are YOU grateful for today????

Happy Happy Father's Day!!!!!


Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful dads out there - but most especially my hubby, my Dad and my FIL :) I hope you all have a special day - I am grateful to have you all in my life and the lives of my children! Thanks for the example you set and for all the love you show my family, and especially my kids! Love you so much!!!!
