Greatful!

I know Thanksgiving is approaching, and I have SO much to be greatful for. But today something hit me and made me think twice at just how blessed we are. I take a lot of little things for granted, things that may be simple, everyday things. First of all, Brandon and I are so blessed to have such incredible parents. Last week I was saying that I needed to go buy Brinlee a new coat, she is growing like a weed, and my dad said he would like to buy them new coats. With Christmas fast approaching I was extremely greatful and blessed when him and my mom came and got Brinlee and went coat shopping. She got to pick out a really nice coat and one for her sister who was home sick. They will be super warm this winter. I can't thank them enough. But today Brinlee was telling me at breakfast that there was a little girl in her class that doesn't have a coat and freezes at recess. It was really bothering her, because she told me a couple of times how sad it made her. Well all through out the day I couldn't get this little girl out of my mind. So I emailed her teacher to see if it was a money problem or if she just wasn't wearing one. Her teacher responded that she thought is was money, but had put in a request to get her one for Christmas through the school. We definitely will help her out this year, another month is too long to wait to be warm. But I just wanted to say how greatful I am for everything we have. I feel so blessed, and that is why I am crying here at my computer. I am greatful for the warm coats my girls have, and for the gospel and the promptings you receive even if it's through a five year old little girl. I love her SO much and am greatful for the sweet and thoughtful little girl she is.

Halloween!

My Beautiful Princesses!!!(Giselle and Belle)
For Halloween this year we had a busy weekend, (week) we had a pumpkin carving/dinner party with the Stradlings, a Spooky boat ride with the Johnsons and Katie hosted a VERY fun Halloween party at their house. Costume award was hard to figure out who it should go to. Great Grandma Johnson won. We also fitted in both Pre-school and Kindergarten parties and the actual Halloween itself. Whew!

We stopped by the Temple on our way home!

Once again me and Katie had more fun and more bruises than the girls...even the little girls could hang on better than we could.

A hard day at the park! We had a blast going to St. George with my family...minus Deven, kellie, Payten and Blake...A weekend in relaxing in the Pool, playing and shopping was just what we needed.

Receiving her 'Diploma'!!!

Getting ready to sing her heart out or sing quietly for the program. I cannot believe that she is done with pre-school and will be going to Kindergarten this Fall. She is growing way too fast. We are so greatful to her teacher. She was awesome and Brinlee learned so much from her. Just a reminder note... the boy on the right (Brock) as cute as can be; this was supposedly Brinlee's LOVE. She came home one day and told me her and Kallie weren't BFF's anymore and when I asked why it was because Kallie was in love with kaden and Brinlee was in love with Brock! I laughed so hard! I guess when your in pre-school you can only have one BFF!!!!
