Day 11

I am thankful for all the men and women who have served, are serving or will serve for our country. What a remarkable person it takes to put their own life on the line while defending our countries values. Today I am thankful that I am a citizen if the United States of America.

Day 10

So many times our kids say something that we find so cute. We laugh at it and think I gotta remember that but so many times we forget. Tonight I am thankful for listening to my daughter talk about how she wants to be a teacher when she grows up, just like Grandma Jane, mommy, Aunt Jess and Aunt Jenn (although she said we need to babysit for Aunt Jenn so she can teach again!) Tonight I am thankful for the dreams my kids have and pray that one day they feel as though they accomplished what the set out in life to do.

Day 9

In-laws! I am so thankful for the wonderful in-laws I have. I feel so blessed to have them close by. The kids love spending time with them! They are always willing to watch the kids so I can hit the gym, run errands or whatever I need to get done!

Day 8

Today I am thankful for my kids teachers and schools. We spent the evening tonight at Tanners Family Dance night. I love the feeling I have when the kids are at school.... I know that their teachers love them and want the best for them. I know they are getting great educations but I also know that they are in a place where they are safe.

Day 7

Spin class.... I am thankful that I can go the gym and leave a sweaty mess. It makes me feel so much better and I know that I am a better mom, wife, sister, daughter,friend and teacher when I take care of myself!

I am also super thankful for my inlaws who always agree to watch the kids while I hit the gym for an evening class!

Day 6

Today I am thankful for my mom... For a million reasons but tonight for helping me fold and put away away a billion loads of laundry!

Day 5

Today I am thankful for sports. Tanner has learned so many life lessons through his participation in sports. Hard work, determination, passion, team work, dedication and in the process he has made a lot of really great friends. I am also thankful that Cole was able to coach him in his first ever competitive game and the new rule "what happens in the gym stays in the gym" was created!
