Being Thankful

I have many things to be truly grateful for in my life. Here are some of the reasons why.......


For those crazy moments in life when all you can do is smile and say everything will be alright.


The sweet and tender moments in my life....






























The silly and squishy moments in life ....




















And of course those moments when all you can do
is laugh and remember why life is truly a great thing
and how blessed you are to share those moments with
the ones you love..

Happy Thanksgiving!

Chase's Thanksgiving Comic

Chase did a Thanksgiving Comic at school. I thought it was very cute!!

The picture didn't turn out very clear.
So I decided to type out the words and captions
for those of us who have to squint to see the pictures.

I thought the comic was a perfect way to help celebrate Thanksgiving!!
Wishing a Happy Thanksgiving!!

Let it snow!

Yesterday there was a lot of hype about a huge blizzard that was supposed to hit. Luckily, we were not part of the blizzard we... waited anxiously for the snow to fall... around 6pm it started to snow... the boys were happy...

The night of Halloween it rained... the kids were sad .. but the rain stopped long enough for them to trick or treat around Grandma & Grandpa Stiles house... of course.. with the excitement of trick or treating and candy.
Pictures came last.. they had a fun evening!
