The rest of my top ten things I love

I was going to post one of these each day and never got around to it and when i finally did, i didn't have all the pics I wanted and I was having issues downloading some of them onto blogger so they are out of order and I am missing number 9. here are the rest of them.


Here is my sweet and sassy Brielle. She is 4 now and is very excited for a new baby. She will be a lot of help. She definetly challenges me emotionally. She is a daddy's girl and buts heads with me quite often. I have a great desire to be best friends with her in the years to come. I love her.

I love family and I love our growing family. My favorite thing to do is to be together with eachother.

I am so grateful for a savior who knows us individually and knows our needs and what is best for us. I am a pretty strong headed individual and like to think I know what's best but try to be in tune with the Lords will. We had our ultrasound on Friday and Bryson wanted a girl so that our family could be even and brielle loves to pick out pink stuff so was hoping for a girl as well. Trey has and continues to challenge me physically so I was thinking it might be nice to have another girl because we have a lot of boys in the family. Really another boy is the last thing Trey needs to have to beat up on. Leanne has three and one girl and we think Laur may be having another boy and her one girl and that would put me at three and one as well. Cam was hoping for another girl to spoil as well. We went into the ultrasound expecting a boy because that is what we saw on Laur's machine and sure enough we are having another boy. it really isn't bad because we do have sweet Brielle, but I left telling Cam that I am going to have to think of a cute name to start getting excited about another boy. don't get me wrong I love my boys and yes they are easier emotionally and are cute as can be. I just wanted an excuse to buy some cute new girl clothes. We have soooo many boy hand me downs that there leaves very little to buy-(I know that should be a good thing) That night Cam and I were saying our prayers and Cam prayed that we could think of the right name for the baby and as soon as he did, the name Kade popped into my head and I have never even heard or thought of this name and felt really good about it. Kind of crazy but after the prayer I was excited for our little Kade to come. I am grateful for the small and simple blessings we receive because our Heavenly Father and Savior know our needs.

I am so inspired and grateful for a mother who is like the energizer bunny. here she is keeping the grandkids busy and entertained at one of greg's b-ball games. she is constantly doing something to help others. Cam loves to visit because she spoils us with yummy food and motivates us all to do more. We love when she comes to visit because she is always trying to find somethings she can clean or cook for us. She was and is my motivation and inspiration and my sisters motivation to exercise. I am so grateful for her example in every area of her life. Thanks you MOM!! I love you sooo much.

I am truely grateful for what Cam and I have been able to do with a lot of sacrifice and hard work. Of course we thank the Lord everyday for giving us the strength to do what we have. I often times look back and think how in the world did we do what we did for the first 3 years! I love that I know that we didn't do it alone and we couldn't have done it alone. We have been so blessed but I also feel a very strong responsibility to do all we can to help the growth of the church and know that with these great blessings comes great responsibility and am very excited that we can offer our time, talents, energy and everything that we have been blessed with to the building up of his kingdom.

My Sweet Bryson! He has such a big heart. He is always wanting mom and dad to be proud of him. He is very talented and has a strong desire to work hard at those talents. he loves basketball, and baseball-not so much football. his piano teacher every week is impressed. I love that he enjoys practicing. he is soooo sweet to his brother and sister.

I have wondered lately if my mom was excited to have 4 girls in a row. Wow -growing up there was a lot of drama-I hate to admit that I was the cause of most of the drama, and I had noo idea what a blessing my mom and sisters would be in my life. That is another reason I was hoping for a sister for Brielle (we probably will have another or a few more children so she still has hope) My Mom and sisters are absolutely my best friends!!! Lauralee is the best older sister. she never acts like she knows it all like the oldest would probably do. she has always been a friend first. i am soo grateful for the friendship that I have with Leanne. she is truely unselfish because she never expects anything back. I love that she is laid back and is up for anything. And Maryann I feel like I owe the most because I wasn't the best older sister growing up and even when I was married i was the bossy older sister that still struggles with how to be a friend first and not the big sister. she has truely impressed me with how much she has overcome and is continuing to work through. She is a great mom and sister. i am so grateful for her patience with me and friendship. We really are spoiled to have eachother.

My second thing was my sassy Trey. he is the cutest little boy. he acts like he is 5. he has been riding a razor scooter since 1 1/2 and goes down hills like he is 5. he is obsessed with dribbling a basketball. he dribbles a ball like he is 5. He is full of energy! he is quite entertaining during sacrament. He loves to make people laugh. it is never boring with him around. I am a little worried for Kade. I love him!!

My ninth thing was the ensign. i have had the ensign has been a great blessing in my life lately. I love the everyday life stories from others and the apostles that can guide us in our choices. there have be a few specific talks lately that seem like they were written just for me.

anyway there they are
