Lexi 3yrs

Day 10: I am grateful for my Nephew

I kinda mentioned my other nieces and nephews on my other post, but I want to include my sweet little Carter!

I never get to see him, because his parents suck and moved him far away. 

YES, I am talking about you, you big JERKS! 

I sure love this little guy, who actually is getting very big.... like bigger then Lexi.

His smile makes me giggle and I LOVE watching him play with the toys I send him... 

I can't wait to spoil him rotten and show him how awesome his Aunt Lynsey is... Yes I do have every intention of keeping him all to myself and feeding him pretzels and candy and pop... and LOTS and LOTS of other things!

Mostly I just miss him and his MOM who I adore :) She's pretty damn awesome!

and I guess his dad's ok too ;)

Day 9: I am Grateful for my bestie Ashley!

My Darling Ashley, I couldn't ask for anyone better. She is my dearest friend. She's always honest and caring. I know that she's always one I can call to talk sense to me, talk me in OR out of something. Someone who I can call just for a laugh or just to flat out cry too. She's always willing to listen to my ranting and even makes super sacrifices for me... like driving down to see me when I really need her to. 

    She is such an example to me, she works so hard to provide for her family and yet through her really busy life and I MEAN BUSY! she finds time to call me, even for a minute. I can't believe how she does things I am always so blown away by what she can accomplish, and how quick to help. She is such an amazing mom to her girls and sweet "Aunt" to my kiddos and she doesn't take ANY crap, which lets face it.... my kids like to give. 

    I honestly can't begin to express how much I love my Ashley. The best way I can put it. She is my bestie. and I can't imagine my life without her. 

    I still stand by the fact that she and I are finally going to live be each other.... when we are like 90 because that is about how it's going to turn out. But besides my family This Lady I want to have by my side ALWAYS! Love ya lots Ash!

Day 8: I am Grateful for Eternity!

 On Nov. 19, 2005

I married the most amazing person I have ever met I fell maddly in love with him almost the moment I saw him and told him, that by the end of that year He would marry me.

It took some convincing..... NOT I'm to awesome to pass up :)

I married my wonderful most amazing Seth in the Mount Timpanogos Temple for time and all Eternity. And while time is great I CAN'T imagine my Eternity without him. I am so glad to have this man FOREVER! I am so glad that the promises made in that sacred building also include our 3 beautiful children, life just wouldn't be the same without them.

In May 2006 MY FAMILY BECAME COMPLETE! 

That beautiful day my Father was sealed to his parents for time and all Eternity. I will testify to you that not only I but everyone there felt the presence of my Grandparents and we each (their Grandchildren) Were very egger to not only feel them there but we each felt complete when that sweet most amazing missing piece was placed.

 Eternity!

Day 7: I am grateful for my Grandparents!

I am one blessed girl, I can't say it enough! These 4 people here we such amazing examples to me!

I have such great memories with each one of them, all of which remind me daily how loved I am by them!

 Each of them coming from different back grounds each with their own story, they all showed me how important family is and most important the love of my spouse. My Grandparents made it past the trials that can come in marriage. They stayed together and worked together to make their marriage work! 

I am so glad they did, because both we such great teams and wonderful examples!

Day 6: I am grateful for my Family!

I have such an awesome family!

I am so blessed to have siblings that I get along with so well and hate with all passion at the same time. Not to mention their spouses! 

 When we get together it gets kinda crazy, and out of hand, but when it comes down to it we all love each other a ton and are always willing to help. I can't think of a better family to be in. 

Did I mention my Nieces and Nephews? They are pretty dang CUTE and super funny. I am so glad that I get to be their Aunt, and I try to spoil when I can. It was a lot easier when they were younger.... ice cream sure bought me more points then, but I enjoy visiting with them and watching them grow up. They are all pretty dang awesome and each with their own fun personality! 

I am so lucky and blessed to have such a great family!

Day 5: I am grateful for my parents

Day 5: I am grateful for my mom and dad!

 

These two people are the BEST, while growing up I would hate them always razing my to do chores or get a job. Now, however I am so grateful that the taught me the improtance of work. And honestly how to grow up and move on with my life. They showed me what family was all about and I am so glad and proud to follow their example in having a family of my own. It takes a lot of hard work and patience, but it pays off.

 I love how close I am to my parents, I know if I ever need anything a kind word, encouragement or even just for someone else to tell me how awesome I am ;) 

Thanks mom and dad for raising me to be totally awesome, because I got it from you!

The other GREATEST thing is how wonderful grandparents they are to my kids! 

I always enjoy hearing my children (daily) asking for Granny and Papa! I wish they were closer so we could see them more, but my parents always make an effort to call or skype or just come visit. I am glad we are ALWAYS welcome to come to their house and get spoiled rotten. Even me :) I am so glad they are so accepting of my family and show their love, always!

I have the best parents in the world.... no one can top that!

except my kids ;)
