I found this yummy spin on tacos and thought that I would share. You can find the recipe here.

30 Days of Thankfulness in November - Day 12

Day 12 - Today I am thankful for this little man! Where to begin with this one..... He is my middle child. Nuf said. Ashton is a ball of energy and a softy, however he doesn't like people to know that. He is the child that if someone starts crying or gets hurt you automatically think he had something to do with it. He is one tuff cookie. Ashton is also my sick child. He has Reactive Airway and gets Croup all of the time. I hate it, it is not fun watching your child suffer and have a hard time breathing.

I am so grateful that Ashton is mine. He might be ruff around the edges, but he is all boy and he has the best personality! I love this kid with all my heart! He will always be my baby boy!

30 Days of Thankfulness in November - Day 10

Day 10 - Today I am thankful for this kiddo. Braden is my second oldest. He has such a kind heart and he loves to play with others. He is a lover of all creatures. This kid loves animals and critters, he would take in every stray cat that came along if I let him. He also got my creative gene! You can always find him making something out of paper. You name it and he has probably made it!

I am so grateful that I get to be his mom.

30 Days of Thankfulness in November - Day 9

Day 9 - Today I am grateful for my son that made me a momma for the first time! My oldest Trevin. I might be somewhat biased, but isn't he handsome?

This teenager is such a loving, hard working, caring person. He always wants to help out and make sure that I get the help that I need with the chores. He loves to cook and help with his little sisters. I couldn't have asked for a better oldest child. He has been a trooper being the "test" child because I had no idea how to be a mom. I guess that I did something right because he sure has turned out good!

30 Days of Thankfulness in November - Day 8

Day 8 - Today I am thankful for my siblings! There are six of us total, but eight if you count my sister-in-law and hubby. Yes that is me on the end large and prego, I still had four months left to go! I am the oldest of six kids, I have three brothers and two sisters. It was always fun growing up. There was always someone to play with and we were all buds.

I love my siblings and I am thankful that we all grew up together!

30 Days of Thankfulness in November - Day 5

Day 5 - Today I am thankful that I was born an American and that I get to live in the amazing country. I used to take for granted being an American and having the freedoms that we have. However when I got married and the mister joined the military I quickly discovered how much I truly do love being an American!

We were stationed in Germany for four years and although Germany is similar to America, it is not the same. I grew to love and miss my great nation. I was so happy to be an American and I was so proud that I was married to someone that loved his country just as much.

I have so much honor and respect for our country, I am so thankful that I am an American and that my children were born in such a great Nation where they can be free and be free to make their own decisions and choices in life.

I am thankful to be an American! God bless America!

30 Day's of Thankfulness in November - Day 4

Day 4 - Today I am thankful for my faith. I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and I am proud of that! I am so grateful that I can be part of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ on the Earth today. I take great comfort in knowing that our families can be together forever and that keeps me going on the not so good day's. I know that our Prophet Thomas S. Monson is called of God and that he leads our church today. I know that the Book of Mormon is true and that it was written by prophets of God. I know that Joseph Smith was called by God to restore the church to the Earth in this dispensation. I know that our Heavenly Father loves me and wants what is best for me. He is a loving, kind, and just God.

I am so grateful to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints!

30 Days of Thankfulness in November - Day 1

Okay I am going to start my very first series this month. I am so excited to have this chance to express all that I am grateful and thankful for. This time of the year is my all time favorite! I love everything about this season. The amazing colors, smells, and everything else that goes along with Fall.

So to begin, every day this month I am going to share with you something that I am thankful for because I have many things in my life that I am grateful for.

Day 1: I am thankful that I finally got the courage to start my blog. I have wanted to do this for a long time, but I never had the guts to do it. Well hey no guts, no glory right? I figured that now is as good a time as ever so I went ahead and jumped in feet first. I know very little about the blogging world and how it works, but I have been looking around and doing some research and I think that I am doing pretty good so far. I hope to become a better writer and make new friends in the process. So if you are willing, stay for a while and take the ride with me. I look forward to the many posts that I have in mind because this blog is somewhere that I can share what life is like for me as a wife, mother, and friend.
