5. Our home I feel blessed to have a home that keeps us warm and protected, it makes me feel safe and where I can spend time with my family

6. Food 1 in 6 people in the united states starve ( i heard that on the radio) doesn't that break your heart? I'm so grateful I can go get food whenever I want. I'm thankful for food storage as well.

7. Water I love going to get a cold glass of ice cold water, I use water in so many ways I'm very thankful for hot showers, baths, drinking water, cooking water, cleaning water, etc.

8. Freedom I'm thankful for the soldiers who are away from their families and risking their lifes. I'm thankful I have the freedom to live my life how I want and the freedom I have to choose.

9. Kyler's Job I'm very thankful he has a job, alot of people right now are struggling to find work. I'm thankful he enjoys going to his job every morning. The doctors he works for are so good to him. They have been so good to our family.

10. Healthcare I'm thankful for all the doctors, nurses, surgeons, who are smart enough to take care of us and to keep us healthy. I'm grateful for great insurance.

11. Our health I am very blessed to have good health, as well as my family. We are grateful to have full functional bodies that can do things as we please. This is a huge blessing.

12. This beautiful world we live in I love the seasons, the plants, trees, flowers, water, land, I love everything about this beautiful world Heavenly Father created us.

13. Semi Trucks who bring us food and supplies to our stores. I'm very grateful if I need something I can just go down to the store and get it.

14. Vehicles so we don't have to walk everywhere we can just get up and go and be somewhere pretty quick.

15. Good Friends Moving here was the hardest thing I ever had to do, I didn't want to leave my home where I grew up. The first couple months living here were hard because I didn't really know anybody. But I met some good friends who showed me this really isn't too bad of place. I absolutely love it here now. I am grateful to have friends with kids around Braxten's age so we can do things together. I'm grateful for them and all they do! I'm also thankful for my Bunco Group I have met so many friends there as well and it is nice to go get away and be with friends!

This month I have been very grateful. Especially this week I've tried to think of more things I'm truly thankful for. There is so much to be grateful for and I thought I would list a few...not in any order. Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

B is for Buddies

B is for Buddies, Braxten and Briston. I watched this cute little boy the other day (don't mind my little boy he is still in his jammies and has some crazy hair) and they had alot of fun together!

Eggcited!

What our chickens look like
A store bought egg compared to our fresh eggs
So our chickens look like this...(above picture) they are called silkies. They are the funniest looking things. We ordered them off the internet back in March/April. They finally started laying eggs. We have 11 chickens all together and 6 of them are hens. So on a good day we will get 6 eggs, usually its about 3 or 4. They are tiny so about 2 eggs equals one large egg. Braxten loves when it is time to go get the eggs. He loves the chickens and roosters, as it shows by he knows how to crow. I will set him down right in the middle of them and he loves it, they are gentle with him. It is kinda fun to feel self sufficient in a way.

What we have been up to.

Making Messes
Playing with cousins
Going to the park...he really does love the swing
Standing up everywhere...look at those rolls

Just a few things...for the blog book.

Braxten just broke his 2 molars, it was pretty hard on him
This makes 8 teeth for him
If we leave the bathroom door open you will find him playing in the toilet
He can now play peek-a-boo
Whenever its his nap time or bed time he will wave and say "nigh nigh"
He is saying more words
He can crow like a rooster, we have roosters and chickens in our backyard and he loves to go and see them
He doesn't drink a bottle anymore, it was a pretty tough challenge to ween him
He finally learned HOT and doesn't touch the fire, he had to burn his hand to figure it out.
He points at everything, he has been doing this for a while
He dances to all music and when he gets excited

We are loving this time of year. When we lived in Thatcher every time around this year Kyler would get homesick so he is pretty happy we are here now. We are definitely looking forward to the holidays and all the yummy food and goodies.
