I am thankful to have spent time with them for our Thanksgiving. Thanks to all of you for being such great examples to me.
- I love listening to Chanzen talk about stuff...he can be very passionate about "certain" topics! I loved it when Jen and Janz would allow us to be "sneaky" and follow them around the block while they held hands. I loved having another cool older sister who would allow us to have hair do parties and restaurants in her home! I loved getting to stay at their house late and watch Justin and Abby. (So many memories of falling asleep on their couch.) I loved being such a big part of Justin's life for several years. I love talking with Abby and listening to the story of her life! I love that Caroline is my mini-me, she will always have a special part in my heart! I love that Logan is such a charmer and that he is so easy to please (like going on a drive to Walmart:)!
- I love that Brenton is a very thoughtful person, he would do anything for any of us! I loved it when he would take me in his Bronco to buy a drink at the store. I love that Jessie has always been such an uplifting person, she can make anyone, on their worst days feel good about themselves. I love seeing Olivia beg her parents to stay longer, and then, if they don't, she pulls out the "I'm heartbroken" face, I would give in so fast! I love seeing Johnny play with Corbin, they have so much in common and he is a good example for my boys to follow. I love Mitchell's laughter, his smile melts me!
- I love that Landon has such a sensitive side with kids. I remember when Corbin had a terrible accident when he was 4 1/4 months old and he was one of the first one's to call and make sure he was okay, that meant a lot! Monica is amazing, I love seeing her many talents, and she continues to develop more and more even when her time seems to be getting smaller and smaller! I love that Garrett is a hero to my boys, they look up to him so much and are always wanting to go to Garrett's house! I love how incredibly adorable Emery is, I don't get to see her often, but she still will come to me and let me hold her!
- Tyson has the best sense of humor in the world! I could sit back and listen to him for hours telling stories, drawing "creative" pictures, making fun of people...ah memories! Thanks for all the laughs! Cami has always been their for me (20+ years) She was my best friend, we hung out everyday, we worked together, we went shopping together, we talked late into the night dreaming about our future husband, so many memories!! and even though she has a new #1 best friend, I'm thrilled to say that it is my brother! Gracie is such an Angel, I love that she is a very thoughtful and obedient girl, and that she reminds me so much of Cami. I love Anna's adorable personality, you can see it all over her face when she smiles and I love when she tells me about the green blankie me and Mandi gave her when she was born! Oh, baby Mason, so adorable! I can't believe I have only held him once...darn these colds and the miles between us!!
- Mandi, what an amazing sister! I always loved having her as my sister, but now more than ever do I really appreciate it! I love that she is always, always their for me and that she understands my silly frustrations. Jon, what a brother-in-law! He knows how much I love Black beans, so he thinks I put it in everything...including cookies, so very soon I will be creating a special batch just for him! I love that he calls my three boys George (because all blond boys should be called George :)! Hunter is such a great boy, I love watching Corbin, Taylor, and him play. They are best buds! And my little Jaina, I hope Mandi is totally fine with sharing her with me because I claim her as mine too! Although, I think Jaina would prefer Justin over me! And adorable Grey, what a cutie pie, I love how easily he smiles :)
I am so thankful to be blessed with such a large, wonderful family who all helped make me a better person...thanks!
