umm yea

Ok see this is why I don't do daily things and usually don't try, cause I just lose track of time. I was sick for almost a week after we got bug feeling better. It also made it through most of the other kids. Gavin got super sick last week. Walked in the door from school Thursday and layed downed and he slept until 10am on Friday. I feel bad for him though cause his goal this year was to have perfect attendance. Other than illness we have just been super busy.
Gavin has karate 3 nights a week. Katie has Cheer and gymnastics 3 nights a week also. Plus just normal running for the other kids. This week added to that we have a specialist appointment for Dougie and a dr appointment for Brendon. And a cheer thing also on friday night. So this week is gonna be a busy one too!

Days 7, 8, & 9

This is why I don't usually do these things...I always fall behind. Even though I put it on facebook I write it here cause I can go more in depth.

Day 7- I am thankful for our oldest son Brendon. He is very hard sometimes. But the say God doesn't give you more then you can handle and there is always a rainbow at the end of the storm. I am trying to remember this with him. Because I have seen in the last 4-5 months so much growth in him.

Day8- I am thankful for my mother in law. Polly is such an inspiration to me. I hope to one day be as calm as she is. She has given me the greatest gift by entrusting me with her son. I am so greatful that she has given him the compassion she has for people. She really helps us out alot. I am blessed to have her as my mom.

Day 9- I am thankful for my dad. He took my sister and myself in and raised us as his own.
We were always treated the same, which I know sometimes is hard. HE helps me to see the good in everything. He is a very good papa even though he isn't really fond of noise he still will come help out amist the chaos that is my house somedays.

Day 6

I am so thankful for my little guy. He completed our family and brought us all together. He taught me to laugh more. He is such a character sometimes. I am glad we decided to have one more. And so blessed that God gave him to us. He taught me dirt is fun to play in and it is ok to get muddy and dirty. He is such a joy. he is the perfect blend of Garrett and I.

Thankfulness 1-5

haven't really felt thankful lately so I figured I would join everyone else and help remind myself all the good things in my life.
#1- I am thankfully for my hubby Garrett. He supports me with all my craziness and loves me despite it. He has helped so much with all the kids lately. Plus he has supported me in my new craziness of beinging head of fundraising for Katie's cheer team even though it has taken alot of my time up.

#2- I am thankful for my oldest daughter Bethany. She is my salvation. I don't know where I would be without her in my life. She has been my constant companion since she was born. I am so proud of the beautiful young lady she has became.
 

#3- I am thankful for my mom Betty Fiore. She has stuck by me and believed in me even through my awful teen years.

#4- I am thankful for Gavin. He has helped me so much with his baby brother and with anything I need help with. I am glad I am able to be his mom. I thank god for him every day.

 #5- I am glad for my mini-me. Katie is hard at times but she is such a blessing to me. She has brought me out of my shell the last couple months. She really keeps me on my toes. My mom always said she wished I had one like me and Katie is that one.
