A Thankful Heart

"Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, His love endures forever." Psalm 118:1

We have so many things to be thankful for! Each day is a gift from God, and I am really trying to live a life of gratitude and find joy in all He has given me. 

I am thankful for this week off to rest and spend time with my boys. This world is broken and can cause hurt at any time, but I take such comfort in knowing that He has overcome it all and He deserves all our praise.

"I have told you these things, so in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble, but take I have overcome the wold." John 16:33

Happy Thanksgiving!

Day 318: Loved my 1-1 time with Jackson, just wish it wasn't because he was sick.

Family Pictures

Jonathan, my cousin's husband, was kind enough to take some family pictures for us last weekend.

Let's just say I am thankful for a few smiles from Lincoln. He is not the picture taker that his brother is!

This one was at the end, and Lincoln HAD to have his blanket.

The boys

Just trying to get a smile from Lincoln-love Jackson peeking through

I couldn't love them anymore

So grown up

Thankful he's mine!

LOVE, Love, love this family picture!

I will treasure these pictures forever!

There are a few more but they must stay hidden until Christmas cards are sent out.:)

Trick or Treat 2014

I love that Trick or Treating was on a Friday night this year! We ate our tradition of Sonic 50 cent corn dogs for dinner, and then got ready to trick or treat. Brian decided to get in on the fun too! He keeps our life relaxed and full of smiles!

Jackson dressed up as a nice ninja. 

Lincoln wasn't feeling his monkey costume, so he wore his fox pajamas. (Turns out he had an ear infection:( ) He loved riding in the wagon with Garbageman Titus!

He also couldn't have been any cuter holding his bucket, walking up to a house, and then smiling real big when he got a piece of candy.:)

Love him!

Jackson ran ahead and from house to house with his friends from down the street.

It was a beautiful night, and we had a lot of fun with friends!

We spent the rest of the weekend enjoying the cooler weather at the park. 

Do we have to go back to work on Monday?:)
