Thankful

www.scrapfreak.com challenged us to blog about eleven things we are thankful for. So here is my list.

1.
No I am not thankful that Rickie is a great poker player. I am thankful that he is such a patient and loving husband and father. I am also thankful that after 11 eleven years he still puts up with my crazy ideas and my goofy incidents.

2.
I am thankful that I have a beautiful, healthy, and silly daughter. She is a gift that I thank God for her everyday. I am so thankful to be her mother.

3.
I am thankful that Gracie has two cousins her age to grow up with. I hope they are always as close as sisters.

4.

I am thankful for ALL of Gracie's grandparents. Each and everyone of them love her so much. Her Maw Maw, Gammy, MiMi, PePaw, Paw Paw Rickie, Paw Paw John, and Paw Paw Joe.

5.
I am thankful for Tory who is our little angel on earth. I am thankful that I get to be the godmother of such a strong little girl.

6.
I am thankful for my Silly Lily. I am lucky to be the godmother of such a sweet girl. And I am thankful for the hugs and kisses that she always has for her Nanny.

7.
I am thankful for my neice Emma. She is so wise beyond her almost 4 years. The thoughts she comes up with always keep me laughing.

8.
I am thankful for my nephew Aden. He might have had a rough start but he is determined to show how strong he is. And for Logan my nephew on the way. I am so glad to have these sweet boys to love.

9.
I am thankful that my best friend and I are so close our kids think they are related. They are as close as any real cousins could be. (I am also thankful that we managed to get a picture of the three of them looking in the same direction. I have to say this is not an easy task.)

10.
I am thankful that I have my obession I mean hobby. Scrapbooking is my stress reliever, my outlet. I am thankful that this hobby led me to scrapfreak where I have met some terriffic and talented women. And where I have made some friends who are always there to listen and encourage me.

11.
I am thankful that I have someone to remind me to enjoy the small things. She gets so excited about the most simple things. A cupcake, a dress that twirls, or even a cartoon she has seen a thousand times. She stops to smell the roses and I am thankful that she makes me stop and smell them too.

This is just a few things I am thankful for. I am thankful for all of our family and friends who love and care about the three of us. My list could go on and on. But the rules said 11.

Here is more proof.

The girl will fall asleep no matter when or where.

Halloween




Here a re a few from Halloween night. She was so cute as Dorothy and she had so much fun eating all of that candy. And she was not willing to share. Just ask Beth.

Dorothy

Here is Gracie for Boo at the Zoo. We had the whole Wizard of Oz crew. The good witch, the wicked witch, the crazy monkey, and Dorothy. However it was not possible to get a great picture of them all.



I told you.....


the kid can sleep anywhere. This is Gracie when we were shopping at Cabela's. I guess she could only take so much camoflauge.
