Thankful Thursday

It's been awhile since i've done a thankful day. little too long if you ask me. so here it goes.

welcome my friends to the letter .... H ....




1. Holidays those wonderful holidays like Easter, where everyone just looks like they are having fun..... except my son....who is always making that face.




2. the Hammerstads my family from afar. they are super great and fun and i wish they'd all move to utah it would make things a lot easier.





3. Hula hoops since i used two h's i think I should win something for being awesome. and whoever thought of the hula hoop ... GENIUS!




4. Hair I wish my baby would get some. He used to have some...see the teeny tiny little baby fo hawk.





5. Hope in this day and age where would we be without it.




6. Honesty i wish that everyone had the necklaces on fablehaven that make you tell the truth all the time or else they'd choke.




7. Home there really is no place like home.







and lastly here's my creative shots of the week.

Can you believe how long it's been since i've posted? I've been such a blog slacker. Not on purpose though. I've been so busy. Like right now, i'm supposed to be getting ready for Isaiah's Dr.'s appointment. but I gotta catch up!



Anywho the letter this time around is F... dang it, it's not F. See how crazy everything is? i can't even remember the letter right now. BLAH!




since i thought the letter was F i'm gonna put one letter F. FABLEHAVEN BOOK 4. Nick and i are reading it and it's AWESOME! we went to the book signing party and that was loads of fun too.




On to the real letter. Letter G.


1. Grandparents they're amazing people. I hope my dad sticks around long enoough for my kids to get to know thier Grandpa cuz it's the best thing ever to having loving grandparents around.








2. Guacamole it's probably one of the healthiest snacks you could possibly think of. so good for you soo good to eat!




3. Garth all 3 of em. They're goobers, and goofs and gazillion amounts of fun.




4. Grant he's such a cutie. He makes life a lot of fun.




5. Gratefulness so tell me what you are grateful for and spread the joy.





And lastly, my photo class is almost over. I'll share some of the pics when i get more of a chance and show you all the fun things I'm learning. if anyone is interested they are starting another class soon and i think there are still spots available.

The Fearsome F in all it's fearsomeness.



1. Fielding's - I super duper love my fam, in case you couldn't tell by the constant ranting i do about them. the Fielding's ROCK!



2. Friends - a good friend is hard to find but when found they are worth it. Here's a pic of me and my best friend. bet you can't guess what we're doing under there. ;)






3. Forgiveness - it feels so great to be forgiven, and great to give it as well.



4. Flattery - My husband brought me roses today for no reason at all, and told me i was great. it feels good when those kinda things happen.






5. Funky Chicken - HOW FUNKY IS YOUR CHICKEN, HOW LOOSE IS YOUR GOOSE! need i say more?



6. Fingers - oh, the powers of 10 digits. without fingers could we ever do this?






7. Food - my favorite is probably lasagna, maybe potatoes, no cheese, no ahhhhh! i love it all. Chocolate cake is definetely up there. as you can see in the pic above, it's great.



8. Fiesta's - Party on DUDES! this is the cake I made for my niece's birthay party.





9. Family - As i said in number 1, family ROCKS!



10. Faith - Don't know where i'd be without faith, Faith in God, in People, Faith in myself. It's such an important thing to have and sometimes i forget all about the third part. so remind yourselves to have faith in yourself.



Over and out.

Being thankful isn't always easy, so tell me what are you thankful for. And remember today's letter is...

What a great letter. I probably only think that because it's the first letter of my name. ha ha. oh, well.




1. let's kick it off with Elephants- they are so cool. I love watching them at the zoo.





2. Estrogen- What separates us from the boys, ladies. We're pumping with it. Keep in mind this is the ugliest stick figure ever and not all women look like this. unfortunately some do.







3. Electricity- I don't even want to imagine what it was like without lights and computers and all of the frivolous things i enjoy so much.





4. Energy- I can't say it enough. I'm so thankful for the days i actually have enough energy to get stuff done. I guess when you don't get to experience it often, you are truly grateful for the days you do.





5. Everybody- My husband was telling me this story the other day about a women who had a dream all about heaven and how everyone here on earth we knew, personally knew, in heaven and we all agreed to come here together and work together to get back to heaven. It was really a great story and I'm trying to remind myself that EVERYONE was sent down here to earth to help each other. and hopefully I'll do a better job at looking out for others.

you all know what time it is? oh, yeah! it's Thankful Thursday. this weeks letter would just happen to be C. you know since it's the next letter in the alphabet and all figured it'd only be right.

1. Cami- she's my rocking awesome sister. I love her so much and i am so thankful that she's my sis cuz she understands what life is like and always wants to help make life a little easier.



2. cupcakes- oh, who decided to make an individual size cake so that you could enjoy goodness on your own terms? serisoulsy, i think i love him.



3. can openers- really! not having to break your hand trying to turn the stupid knob is sweet.



4. Coop a loop- that's be Nick's friend. i'll have to blog more about him and his adventure later, but he's visiting right now and it's killer. he's such a great guy.
