So Many Thoughts....

I have so many thoughts running through my head. My positive thoughts keep pushing my negative thoughts out. Which is a very good thing for me. Usually, I have to fight them a little harder. Maybe it's because last weekend I experienced one of the saddest moments ever at the funeral I mentioned in my last post....I went away for the weekend.....without my family. It really put life in perspective for me. The little things that bothered me before I left have gone unnoticed. My big babies are now out of town this week doing chores at their grandparents ranch preparing for Thanksgiving. I miss them. A lot. My littlest has been sick all week.....I wish I could take it away. I will appreciate all of her talkative, energetic moments that much more when she is well. I have a strong sense of gratitude today. Perfect timing with Thanksgiving approaching. I have even been taking in my moments with my hubby, hugging a little longer, taking time to look in his eyes when he's talking to me. (He got a little freaked out this week because I was so into him;)) I have so many positives and negatives in my life and today I'm choosing to be thankful for them all. Being grateful is intentionally counting-your-blessings every day. Kim

Be aware of your blessings

Little moments like this come to life when you get sad news that some one's life is over. Yesterday I received a phone call that a special family member had a heart attack and died. He was living a beautiful life and it's so hard to understand. My heart aches. It really makes you realize how special every moment is. I'm so saddened, but I know God has a plan. I know that I have been more aware of the sweet blessings God has given me everyday. Hug Hard and Laugh Loud! Kim

Sweet Friends

Look at these sweet little girls having fun with their apples. You guys make me smile.

I thought this was the sweetest thing the other night. Haley crawled up on the futon with Chloe and fell asleep. They really are good buddies. Chloe is obsessed with all three of the kiddos.

Mr. Patrol

Bryce is so happy to finally be a patrol!

Go Bucs! Go Rays!

We had a great time at the bucs game with Mike and Amy!

I made a pumpkin!

Today I took Haley to Micheals to decorate her very own pumpkin. We had a great time. She picked all the decorations and told us right where to hot glue them. I thought the lady helping us was going to take Haley home, she enjoyed her. I love the fall. It's my favorite season. Sometimes I fantasize about moving a little north so we could really experience a fall season.
