Thankful For.....

With Thanksgiving on Thursday its time that I wrote my post about all the things that I am thankful for. Due to the fact that my pictures loaded randomly they will be listed randomly not in their order of importance.

#1 Jobs:

In this ecomony I am so thankful for Jon and I's jobs. Though Jon's hours were slightly cut he still has his job. And though I have 30 kids in my class I still have a job. I am thankful that when so many people have lost their jobs we haven't. We have still been able to support our children. Action where Jon works

#2 Family:
I am so thankful for my "little sister", all my aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents. I have always had a huge appreciation for my family. I love spending time with them. But since my grandma passed away a few years ago it has really made me appreciate them more and miss the fact we don't get together as often. I really miss seeing them every few months, now I only get to see them every 6 months or more. I wish my kids had lots of aunts and uncles and cousins like I did growing up because they really are great!

Auntie Kim, Sean, and Weston

#3 Grandma:

My mom and I haven't always seen eye to eye but she is so great to my boys. I am so thankful that even though I have to work my mom is able to stay home and watch my boys. Weston and Cason get so spoiled by their Grandma and I am thankful they have her in their lives as well as ours.

#4 Glasses:

Both my boys have nystagmus which causes their eyes to slightly shake. They also don't have the best eyesight. I am so thankful for the invention of glasses to help them to see better. Cason won't keep his on yet so this hasn't helped him too much. But Weston is great at wearing them. I can tell a big difference when he wears them and I am thankful that they have allowed my babies to be able to see all the things that we take for granted.

#5 Summer vaction:

Being a working mom I am even more thankful for summer vacation. Three months of the year I get to be a stay at home mom and just play with my boys and I love it. We try to fit in all kinds of activities and even just relax and be together. I am thankful I have a career that allows me to be a stay at home mom atleast for a few months.

#6 Being a mom!!!!!!!!

I don't even know how I got blessed to be the mom to the two sweetest boys. I knew being a mom was going to be great because I got a run at it helping raise Charity but I had no idea just how hard, rewarding, and amazing it would be! I love my boys with everything. Though I joke about wanting a girl so badly I wouldn't trade either boy for a million girls. Cason and Weston are both just so amazing they both have their own unique personalities and I feel so honored and thankful to be their mommy.

#7 Jon:

Jon is a great husband. We have really gone through a lot this year as a couple and had some real downs. But we are both commited to each other and our marriage as well as our family. We are both willing to change and work on our marriage. I am thankful for having him as my husband and for his love and support. Together we can do anything!

I mean what a stud!

#8 My mom:

I am so thankful for having my mom in my life. For a lot of years my mom and I didn't get along well and we really weren't in each others lives. But recently we have become good friends. We often do everything together (especially when Jon is out of town). I am thankful to have her clean, happy and in my families lives so much!

#9 Holidays/birthdays:

I just love celebrating all holidays and birthdays and since having kids its even more fun. I love seeing how excited Weston gets and I want to do everything in my power to create amazing traditions for him to remember like my family did for me. I just love it all. The decorations, the food, and the presents and any holiday or birthday.

And there you have it. I could go on and on and on..... But I won't these are the most important things that I am thankful this year for.
