All Grown Up!

He is all grown up! Well, ok, not quite! (Thank goodness!) Today my baby turned 6! I can not believe it! It was 6 years ago today that I went to the hospital nervous as can be, but so ready to bring a new little one into our family! At 11:42 pm he was born! It was a wonderful (quite easy) delivery, and soooo worth it! I might have hard days with him sometimes, but he is worth every one of those hard days! He is such a sweetheart, and is so caring! He loves to snuggle and is always keeping others in mind! Now don't get me wrong, he can be a little turkey, but over all, he is a great kid! I can not believe how fast time has flown by! He has all ready been in school for 5 months and he has grown and learned so much all ready! I remember when he was 8 months old, learning how to walk! I guess he always has done things quite quickly!
Kaden bud, I love you sooooo much and I am so thankful you are in my life! I am so thankful that our Heavenly Father has trusted me to bring YOU, His child, into this life and raise you and teach you the best way that I can! I can only hope and pray that I do a good job! Just know I love you so much and am so thankful you are in my life! You bring me so much joy, love and happiness, and I am so grateful to be your mommy! I love you!

Looong Day, but very greatful!

So it has been a very long day! If you have read my sister's blog you might know a little about it! But if you have not read it, let me let you in on a little bit of my day! So it started off good, got Kaden to school on time and everything! Then I decided to come up to my parent's house and help my sister out with her new blogging adventure! Well in trying to do that, we had some major Internet issues! and yep, it was all my fault!!! I totally screwed up all the computers in their house like bad! Anyway, well we fixed them (a little) with the help of the Qwest man on the phone, but unfortunately they were not fixed "all the way", but... thank goodness for my wonderful computer genius brother! He came and fixed them all for us, and even did the other maintenance things that they all needed! Thank you brother! I love you! Well before all this happened, I was going to blog about something nice! lol so now that I got a chance to vent a little, I will write about that!
So I was driving this morning and I passed a street sign with a woman's name on it! I remembered how I once used to sit and talk to this woman at baseball games, and how I would run in to her from time to time and she was always such a kind person! I knew she was going through some very hard things in her life, but she never let on about it! She was always so positive, and was such a sweetheart! She was a wonderful person and will forever be missed! :) Well in thinking about her and about all that she went through it made me realize that my life is not that bad! I sometimes feel like my live is not so wonderful, but thinking about her I realized that its really not that bad! Yes I have health problems that make me gain weight, or make it hard to have children, and a few other things, but really... it could be a lot worse!!! I don't have cancer, I don't have something that is very life threatening! I need to be grateful that I do have the 2 beautiful children I have, and that I am able to play with them and have fun! I am just very thankful for my blessings from my Heavenly Father and I know that even if things don't go the way that I thought they were going to, I still am a Child of God, and He hears my prayers, and He knows what I am going through! I am just very thankful... thats all!

New Year!

Well here is a new post for a new year! I had a wonderful year! I am so thankful for the many many many blessings I received last year! Not everything went the way I wanted it to, but I know that things will work out the way they are supposed to! I am so thankful for good health. My hubby as you all know went through quite a challenge with his leg, and I am so thankful that it ended up being a lot better then we were first told! I am thankful my kids had good health over all for the year! I am so thankful for family! I am thankful for the part that each person in my family plays in my life and for the love and example they give/are to me! I am so thankful for the job that my hubby has, and even though it is not his favorite place to be all the time, he keeps going, and works hard to support us! I am thankful for my wonderful, beautiful, crazy, happy (sometimes) kids! They are truly a gift from Heavenly Father and I am so thankful for them and the sweet spirits they have and the joy they bring into my life! I really have been blessed and am so thankful for all that I have! I know I have said this a lot lately, but I am so thankful for the Gospel in my life and for the knowledge I have of the plan of our Heavenly Father! I am so thankful for His Son, and for His willingness to go through what he went through for me!
On that note, we had a wonderful Holiday Season! We had a great Christmas and had so much fun with all of our family members! (I am sorry Erik and Kayloni, I didn't get a picture of you because you were right by me on the couch!) Speaking of them, on the 30th they welcomed their new little one! He is such a beautiful baby boy! I have a picture of them at the Hospital, but I didn't want to put one of him with out their "ok". But just know that he really is a handsome little boy! Then we had a fun New Years Eve at my parents house! We played games, and just hung out! It was great! Again, a perfect Holiday Season to finish out the year!
I am making some goals for the year and can't wait to accomplish them! But I will let you in on all of that next time I post! For now this is enough, I am sure this was a complete "Over-Load" of Annie, (sorry) But until then, Have a wonderful New Year! Love you all, and thanks for a wonderful 2010!
