Thankful Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving I feel so very thankful!  I often think about all the blessings given to me in life and thank God daily for them.  But this Holiday season is so different and special because I get to share it with my little angel, my son!!  Being a mommy makes you see life in a new light....1.  It makes me so thankful for my wonderful parents, they are my role models for how I want to raise my son they are everything to me!  2.  I am thankful for falling in love with my husband all over again, seeing him as daddy and caring for our son daily is the most precious gift  3.  I am thankful for feeling like a child again, I get to relive all of the things I loved as kid and share them with my bubba  4.  I am thankful for seeing all the joy he brings, I love watching the ones I love light up when they see his little face  5.  I am thankful I now have an excuse for going to bed at 9pm every night!  6.  I am thankful for our blog, I can be creative and artistic while keeping an amazing journal of my little man's life that I can one day share with him  7.  I am thankful to be a MOM, I am determined to be the best and give my son the best this life has to offer!!  

I am thankful this Holiday season!!

Snuggle Puggle

Gracie is a puggle, pug and beagle, and I have to brag what an amazing dog she is!  She has a lot of pug in her hence her meatball body and her laziness.  When bringing home bubba we were worried how she would react, but she has been very patient, protective and lovable to her little brother!  You will often she her not too far behind in the photos :0) Recently, you started noticing your furry sister and will laugh, smile, roll to her, and try to love/pull on her

 Buddies!!

 Come on Sis!

 LOVE

How precious is that!

Now watch how patient Gracie is as you try rolling right over her!

Aunts, Uncles, Grandma and FIRE! OH MY!

Paradise

Sometimes it takes a wonderful friend to open your eyes and enjoy the place you live!  After school on Thursday we went to Singer Island and visited with Auntie Krissy and Rob.  Believe it or not, this was your first visit to the beach!  

We didn't go swimming we'll save that trip for daddy :0) but you loved the waves and enjoyed dipping your feet in!

 Sand didn't bother you at all, you were mesmerized by the ocean

 The perfect place to unwind after a day of teaching!  Beach and Baby!

Time for a little feet dipping

 Look at this huge bathtub!

Love you!! xoxo

 Come back soon!!!

We loved seeing our wonderful friends!

When you live in Paradise it's very easy to take it for granted, thanks Trenhams!  Next trip we'll visit the beautiful desert...
