Give Thanks

This year was our on year with the Cummard side and so we were blessed to be a able to go to the Harts home yet again. They are so kind and open their lovely home to all of us. They don't seem to be to phased to have all our kids running around. We appreciate the tradition that they have continued as long as I have been in the family. I didn't get the camera out until some people had already left but I managed to take plenty of pics. I am thankful for this family below. Not only are they our neighbors but our friends. My kids would be so lost with out the Kerbys next door. In primary I asked all the kids to say one of their prized possessions and Cache said Tate because they play everyday and it makes him happy that Tate likes him. After this week I was glad to hear that since Tate caused 5 stitches in Caches forehead.
Notice the band aid on the head of Cache. It was fortunately just an accident and Cache was so so tough. Typically Brecken would be in this picture of best buds but they had already left.I am SO thankful for these 2 people. I truly am so blessed to watch my 2nd parents in their Christlike ways. Truly they are of the most giving kind and it always shows. Thanks for being so good to us kids and the grand kids.
B and Larks love having each other to play with. They were posing as soon as I got the camera out. Just your typical girls I would say! I didn't get a pic of B alone but I am so thankful for her. From the day she was born she could make me smile when nothing else could. It was like Heavenly Father gave me this special angel to lift me through times that were not the best. She continues to make me smile. I am thankful I don't have to ride her about her schoolwork. Rarely do I even ask her to do her homework because she does not need to be asked. With that she pulls straight A's and has high honors every quarter. I am so blessed to have B.
Tate is just as much of a poser as the girls are. He has just a little of his dad in him:) I am so thankful for this little man of mine. He makes me feel like the best mom in the world when I know I'm far from. He tells me he loves me at least 20 times a day and that usually comes with hugs. He is a good kid and treats others kindly. I'm thankful that hr love sports. For that reason he is quite easy to keep entertained. I know that Chad is also thankful for this. Tate is a great brother and loves his sisters even when he is being a menace. I am also so thankful for this fire ball. If you are lucky enough spend time with Ty you know what I mean. Almost everything out of her mouth makes me smile. I am not thankful she is in my bed most mornings but I do love that she is a cuddle bug. I am thankful to have her at home when the others are at school. She keeps me good company. Most of all I am thankful for a Saviour who has lent me these amazing and healthy children! I am so thankful for the joy and peace that I feel when I put my Father in Heaven and family first. Kyles latest project is finally complete. Chad loves old school trucks and was coveting this one for sure. He and the kids were pretending to go for a ride.

I didn't get much in the way of pics of my family since we just hung out there at night. Michelle brought her beads and we all made some jewelry as we hung out. I am so thankful for a mom and sister who are my best friends. I am one of the few who love to spend time with their family without fighting or contention. We just all get along and enjoy each others company. This Thanksgiving I am most thankful for Christ and the Atonement. Right behind that is Family. I am thankful for health and strength to do the things that we enjoy. I am blessed to have wonderful friends who accept us as we are. Franksgiving at the Larson's home was a blast. I'm glad we continue to strengthen the bonds of friendship with the Larson's and the Lambs. I am thankful for a husband who takes pride in his role as a provider and priesthood holder. I am thankful for our home and the blessing it is to be living in QC. I could go on for days but this has already been long. I will just end with saying that I am extremely blessed and know that it is all from my Father above.
