Thankful!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!!

I have seen several times on Facebook where people are listing something they are thankful for everyday leading up to thanksgiving. I didn't do that, so I decided to list them here!

I am thankful for many things. I pray every day to our good Lord and thank him for several things including a roof over my head and food in my tummy, But here I have listed things I am most thankful for!!

1. Thankful for my HUSBAND! Almost 4 years of marriage and I am more in love with him than ever!! He is my rock!!
2. Thankful for my SON! Kaleb is the love of my life! He brings so much joy to my life and I love being his mommy!
3. Thankful for my FAMILY! Everyone in my family and IN law family means the world to me! They are always there for me and has given me great advise and a shoulder to cry on. They will always by a part of who I am!
4. Thankful for my CHURCH! I was raised in this church and each time I go I love it more! Fellowship and Worship are always needed! and helpful when I have doubt!
5. Thankful for my FRIENDS! and you my blog friends!! Thank you for putting up with my craziness! All of you I love and you mean the world to me!

Happy LIttle Turkeys!!

Yesterday we had my side of the families Thanksgiving dinner.

I went to church that morning and then went home and gathered my groceries. This year Thanksgiving was at Anna's House. Every year we swap out. Last year was my house.

Anna and I decided to cook together this year and learn different recipes! I cooked my first ever Pecan Pie!!  It was great!!

Our Thanksgiving meal consisted of Ham, Turkey and Dressing, Mac n Cheese, Green beans, Peas, Sweet Potato Casserole, Broccoli Salad, Cole Slaw, and Devilled Eggs and Rolls!

While we cooked we had the kiddos playing. Here is a cute lil picture!

I love these pictures! All were missing is my niece Rylan. She has just missed the picture, =( They are all growing up too fast!

I absolutely love having our family together. The babies play so good together! and The

 laughter and crazy conversations make great memories! Even though we have our bad moments, I do love them and they we will always be family!!

                                             Its so nice to have everyone gathered around!

Pumpkin Fun!

This past Friday night we carved our pumpkins! Kaleb had a blast! He and Glory ate some sweet tarts candy while Jake and I did our thing! Mine was supposed to be a cat sitting on a pumpkin. When I carved it out, one of the the eyes fell off haha! Jake's is the word Wicked!

While Jake finished his, Kaleb and I went a got a bath and put our P.J.s on. He looks so handsome in his Halloween PJ's!!

Great Memories!!

 

KEEPING SAFE

Since Jake and I were hit by the April Tornado in 2011 we are always in topic about safety and what to do in case of an emergency.I think you and your family should always be aware of what is going on and what to do to prepare.

The day of the tornado I was aware but I thought to myself.. I don't need to do anything about it because it want happen to me. Something like this would never happen to me or my family. But guess what, it did. So since then , I am aware of the world around me.

Here are a few things we do with my family.

1.We don't have a basement , so if there is bad weather we go to either my parents house or sisters house to mins. down the road. Know your safe place!!

2. Have a list of items you can grab quickly.( clothes, diaper bag, first aid, valuables)I have a place where I keep all my "valuables" and I seems to always think.. what would I do if I lost them!!??

3. Have your phone fully charged and have all your contacts listed in them. Including telling your children who to call when something happens -911

4. Tell everyone a location to go to - SAFE ZONE- in case of emergency

I wished we could do more, including being a hoarder of emergency items. Water, canned goods, first aid ect. Has anyone seen the episodes of DoomsDayPreppers?? Hilarious but scary show!! Crazy how intense some people will get for emergency situations. But some of it is very smart thinking and I wish we could do better~!

 

I came across this site. This lady on the 36th Avenue has listed it perfectly . Check it out!

Also, Please keep those families affected by Hurricane Sandy in your thoughts and prayers!
