I am GRATEFUL for my big Four Year Old!!

Gratitude Journal #78

Today is EB's Birthday!! We are so happy that we have been blessed to have him in our lives for four wonderful years!! When we found out we were having another boy we were all so very happy, so that Dash wasn't going to be all alone as the only boy. Even though Dash and EB are seven years apart they are best buds and EB loves his older brother along with his other siblings. He's a very loving and quick minded little guy, and we love him a lot! Happy Birthday our sweet little boy!
I am also grateful that my favorite tree that EB is standing in front of didn't dye when we transplanted it there. We put a birch tree where it use to be, that tree has been the same size since we moved here and it's beautiful when it blooms once a year so we decided to put it in front of the kitchen window and I love looking out and seeing it everyday. The Birch tree will get really big, that is also my other favorite tree.
EB had a great birthday!! Card from Mema and Papa with a gift card to McDonalds. By his request we made him a chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting and he wanted it to look like a basketball (well I tryed!) it was the moistest chocolate cake I've made in a long time, once Sloane got ahold of it, it was gone!:) He got a little golf set and he just loved that! He had a great day!!

I am GRATEFUL to find a cute little face in my bed

This was all that was sticking out and showing when I came into my room looking for EB. He was fighting me on taking a nap today even though he really needed one, I am glad he finally did!

I am GRATEFUL for Hommade bread and Great Deals!

Gratitude Journal Entry#76


I haven't made hommade bread in a really, really, really longtime which is sad for my family because they all love it especially my husband. So since Sloane was going to Lewiston today I decided to surprise him and make hommade bread and thought it would be a nice treat for him to take with him, plus he's such a great husband and does nice things for me all the time, it's the least I could do for him.
Today they had a snuggle sale at Albertsons and then from a few papers ago I had a $3. off coupon and the sale was for $3.99 so I payed $.99 cents for one bottle so total of $6.00 with tax, you just gotta love that, and that's why I have become one of the Crazy Coupon Ladies, it's so worth it!! My favorite smell is the blue sparkle, it reminds me of the Baby Place where I had my last two babies, great memories!:)

I am GRATEFUL that my little invention is producing some Veggie Plants!!

Gratitude Journal Entry #75


I am so happy that my little greenhouse is working! I have planted five tomato plants and three Basil plants and the are all growing very nicely! I am not much of a green thumb but they are working! Now I can't wait to plant my cucumbers and squash here in the next few weeks inside the greenhouse. I made two greenhouses so that I could start on one set of plants and then later start on another set of plants. Yippee!:)

I am GRATEFUL for a night out with Hubby and kids! Also for Danny boy Graduating to a new chair!

Gratitude Journal Entry #74


We decided at the last minute (that's why I am not wearing any makeup, these days who cares?) to take the kids to Carinos for their family night platters and it was a lot of fun and the kids were amazing!! We also had a perfect waiter that was really great with the two little boys and they stayed happy the whole time! It was fun and I am so glad it was fun since we NEVER take all the kids out anymore. They just loved it and it was totally worth every minute!
Our little Danny boy has graduated to a new chair, and he loves it! He is just adorable when he smiles and the kids fight over who gets to hold him, poor thing.

I am GRATEFUL for an Eggcellent time today with the Easter egg coloring and Easter egg hunt with the kids.

I am GRATEFUL for a great week with the kids!!

Gratitude Journal Entry #72


We had such a fun week! At the beginning of the week the kids played with friends and then they got to play the WII (which then never get too) I also had a clean house everyday because I told them that when they wanted to play the WIII they had to go around the house and do a quick pick up clean before they could play, and they were motivated enough so my house stayed amazingly clean with them home all week! On Wednesday we had so much fun taking Sister Mcurdy to Hobby Lobby. It was like watching a little kid in a candy shop:) She had so much fun and the kids were amazingly really good for the two hours that we were there. She thought that they were so good that she treated them to ice cream afterwards and the kids of course loved that! Then The Hawaiian Princess went and did some service and came home after 4-5 hours feeling really good, she said she loved the feeling she had after doing that. On Thursday we went to the Library and took little miss five year old Aubrey with us and she was really great and had a good time with the other little boys playing on the computer. Today we took Sister Mcurday again with us to Great Harvest Bread Bakery, It was so fun seeing the kids' face when we walked in and they smelled the yummy bread baking smell:) they all chose to have the BIG berry with white chocolate chips scones. They chose that over the big cinnamon rolls, the big easter cookies, and the big Brownies, can you believe that? They all loved the scones and were so happy and thankful to be able to go there, that was too fun! Sister Mcurdy had fun too!:) EB boy all week wanted to help mommy with the dishes, it was too cute! Emily also helped out tonight while we were on our date and surprised me when we came home by finishing folding all of my laundry (which was a lot!) and put it all away for me, isn't she great!? It was a fun week, I hope next week goes great too!:)
