blessings

I'm grateful for granola bars and fruit snacks for getting me through my long school days.

For pants that don't button and a growing belly that people are constantly touching because I have a healthy growing baby inside.

For the transition to Thanksgiving and Christmas, and the excitement that brings to my life.

For mentholatum I am constantly rubbing under my nose which camoflauges every little smell that triggers my gag reflexes and makes me sick.

For the heightened emotions I am experiencing. And for the little things that make me tear up at the most random times. I full on bawled during an episode of the biggest loser haha Seriously.

For my besties being back at school after their leave. I missed them so much and they make getting through school so much easier :)

For a wonderful mother who is so excited and concerned for me. Who calls me every morning to see how I am feeling and to let me know she is there. Who is already making little blankets for a hopeful baby girl :) I love you momma.

And last but not least for my favorite person in the whole world who puts up with an onery wife who is so irritable and not very pleasant to be around at times. Who makes me dinner and has become the housewife now that I am in night school. Who already loves our baby so much and is going to be the funnest, best daddy ever. I love him so much and am thankful for him every day.

I Am Thankful

I am thankful for the wife who says it's hot dogs tonight, because she is home with me, and not out with someone else.
For the husband who is on the sofa being a couch potato, because he is home with me and not out at the bars.
For the teenager who is complaining about doing dishes because that means she is at home, not on the streets.
For the taxes that I pay because it means that I am employed.
For the mess to clean after a party because it means that I have been surrounded by friends.
For the clothes that fit a little too snug because it means I have enough to eat.
For my shadow that watches me work because it means I am out in the sunshine.
For a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning, and gutters that need fixing because it means I have a home.
For all the complaining I hear about the government because it means that we have freedom of speech.
For the parking spot I find at the far end of the parking lot because it means that I have been blessed with transportation.
For my huge heating bill because it means I am warm.
For the lady behind me in church that sings off key because it means that I can hear.
For the pile of laundry and ironing because it means I have clothes to wear.
For weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day because it means I have been capable of working hard.
For the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours because it means that I am alive.

I found this on my friend Natalie's blog, and just absolutely loved it. I truly am thankful for all the little blessings in my life that I take for granted every day. Especially with our baby I just keep thinking everything worldly, and this helped remind me that expensive clothes for me and the babe, etc. are just not important. I need to be more appreciative of what I do have, and be grateful to a loving Father in Heaven who blesses us with so much!

SURPRISE!!!!

So I'm sure that most everyone knows already, but I am just now getting around to blogging! Anyways.... WE'RE HAVING A BABY!!!! I am almost three months along and we couldn't be happier or more excited! So our little addition is due in May! It couldn't have worked out more perfectly!

WE LOVE ELDER GREEN!!

Funny story... one night Brady and I were grocery shopping and we walked past an aisle that had these Miley Cyrus shirts with the England flag on them. I immediately stopped, found a size for my mom, and threw it in the cart. haha I knew she would love wearing a tshirt with the England flag for Kasey. So all week I was so excited to give it to her, and finally we went home, so I could surprise her! I walk in the door, and see about five of the exact same Walmart tshirts on the floor all laid out. hahahah Well, she had saw the same shirts, and thought the same thing, and got one for ALL of us. We are still laughing about. I swear we share a brain sometimes. Anyways, we took these funny pictures to send to Kasey. He loved them. hahaha

So here they are, our $7 Miley Cyrus, rugged walmart tshirts hahah Enjoy :) WE LOVE YOU KASEY!

RODEO TIME

Every year, probably since I was born, my family has gone to the county fair every summer. It is something I LOVE going to, and look forward to every year! So this year we made the trek up on Wednesday night, to watch my little sisters dance in the fair parade, then go to the Rodeo with the fam. As always, I loved it! Brady did too, because his family lived in Tremonton, and they go every year too! I got a few shots from the night, so enjoy!

Liberty Park

My little Dixon got to come and have one last sleepover before he started Kindergarten! It was so much fun! We went to Liberty Park downtown to have a picnic and feed the geese. No lie there are seriously about fifty geese there that LOVE being fed! I think Dixon was more scared of them then they were of him!! But anyways, it was a super fun, relaxing day with my little buddy.

Lava Get Away

This year for the Hunsaker reunion we went camping up to Lava Hot Springs. It was absolutely perfect. I love camping more than anything and was so excited to go, because we haven't been all summer. We had dutch oven, peach cobbler, smores, and the whole shabang!! We got to sleep in the back of our new TRUCK and it was so fun! We didn't get to float the river because it wasn't too warm, but we went and relaxed at the pool. and enjoyed all the fun company! We love our familes and wish we could all be together more often!!
