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????
