Thankfulness Day 13

Today I'm grateful that we have a car that can accommodate our entire family, and is safe.  This picture is from Istagram, so it's not great quality, but it's the best I have.  :) 

Thankfulness Day 12

While I'm not so thankful for the endless laundry piles I seem to be folding ... I am. :) I'm thankful that all 8 of us have clothes to wear each day. I'm happy that the kids all have socks, pants, shirts, jackets, etc. I'm grateful that Dale and I do also. It's a huge blessing. I try to keep that in perspective as I fold laundry. I'm happy that we have it to fold ... even if the task is daunting. :)

Thankfulness Day 11

I am so thankful for our home.  It's been a huge blessing in our lives to have a comfortable place to live, play, sleep, and be safe.  I'm grateful that we have a home that can accommodate our large family size as well.  I am also thankful for a wonderful neighborhood that we get to live in as well.

 

Thankfulness Day 10

Today I'm thankful for my crochet hook, and that after several YEARS I was able to become good at it.  It took me a LONG time to even be able to make a pattern correctly.  It was very, very frustrating for me.  I finally found a pattern that I did right.  I have no idea why, or how or what happened, but it all worked together.  Now, I can even make my own crochet patterns, and it's super fun.  Of these 5 pictures, I actually created 4 of them without patterns, I just came up with them.  The Zebra hat is a pattern I tested for another crocheter friend.  :) 

Thankfulness Day 9

I am SO grateful that there is a NEW temple coming to a town close to me.  Our family has LOVED going to visit this temple from the time it was just a temple site with dirt, to after broke ground, to seeing a frame, to seeing the entire outside finished, to the Moroni on top.  We will continue to go see it, and we are anticipating the day that we can take the kids inside to see it before it's dedicated.  It is a BEAUTIFUL temple, and I feel so blessed!!

This picture turned out SO well.  This is the back side of the temple that you don't see from the road that goes right by it.  So you can see the parking lot, and the maintenance building on the right hand side.
