Jett and his cousin Braxton

Jett loves Braxton. He just stares at him and follows him around. It is so cute. I am so glad Jett has so many fun cousins to play with and I am so happy he has Braxton to look up to.

Pictures of our Thanksgiving Weekend

Busy Thanksgiving Weekend

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We spent it with Chad's family and had such a good time. We ate and then just sat around together and played som Pac Man and talked. It was a fun and calm day. Just what we needed. Then on Saturday we celebrated mine and Cheryl's birthday (hers was Nov 29th and mine Dec 1st). In the morning we (Me, Chad, Cheryl, Raul, and Dust) went to breakfast and to the temple. Then later we (plus Nikki, Jared, E, Nicole, and G & G Baltazar) went to Texas Road House for dinner. They made me and Cheryl sit on the stupid saddle while they announced our birthday. Talk about embarassing. Then we went back to the house and had cake and ice cream and opened gifts and just sat around talking again. It was such a good time (well, up until I clipped little baby E's finger and made him bleed while clipping his nails...i never felt so bad). Monday, on my actual birthday, Chad took me out to eat and to spend some money (two of my favorite things!!). It was such a fun and busy week. I love spending time with the family. That is exactly why I love this time of year. Everyone makes time to spend together. It's a so fun.

Makes ya' think...

Every year around this time we all start to think about what we are thankful for. It's a shame we don't do it more often but I am glad we have Thanksgiving to remind us to take a second to realize how blessed we are. Tonight when I was sitting at the table eating dinner with Chad's family I realized just how lucky I truley am. I am so thankful for my boys. Chad and Jett are the best part of everyday and they are what keeps me going and pushing through each day. I love them so much. I can't believe how lucky I am to have so many good people in my life. My sisters and I are so close and I don't know what I would do without them and Chad's family is amazing. I can't believe how lucky I am to have married into such a wonderful and loving family. Tonight we just sat around talking and playing pac-man and it was the best time I have had in a long time. I love them so much. And last (but not least) I am so thankful for my knowledge of the gospel. I don't know where I (or my family) would be without it. I am so thankful I know what I know. Just knowing of god's plan and his love makes this life so much more beautiful and meaningful. I love my life...simple as that.
