Meme fairy

Well, Chloe is officially a big girl. She really lost her meme (pacifier) yesterday which is perfect because we have been telling her that when she turns three the meme fairy was going to come and take the meme's and leave some candy! So, the meme fairy has visited, just waiting for her to wake up! Now we just hope she doesn't find the lost meme, we've looked everywhere but those things have a way of just showing up!! I can't believe my baby girl is three today! She brings so much joy to our lives! She's sassy, she's sweet, she's bossy, she's super loving, she's fancy, she's likes to get dirty, she's our sunshine on a cloudy day, she's our Chloe!!! I blame it on her red hair, the many personalities! Love love love her!!!!

Blessed today!

So thankful for many things today... Thankful for Austin's x ray showing that there was not any damage to his growth plate; therefore, today was his last visit to Children's hospital. Thankful for the doctors up there!
Thankful that we made out of St Louis just in time to beat the traffic!
Also, the memories we made today with Chloe, her bubs (as she calls them) and aunt Danielle! Chloe loves her early birthday present... A hello kitty build a bear! Fun times, even Austin and Preston had fun helping her make it!
Finally, thankful my antibiotics for my pink eye and sinus infection, starting to feel better already! So thankful for all of these blessings!

Thankful

Well, I say it every time.... where does the time go??? It just amazes me how fast time really does fly by the older you get! Maybe it's called having a full time job, being a momma, and a wife! I absolutely love all of my roles and can't imagine it any other way! At 11:30 at night I should be sleeping but thanks to my wonderful friends' awesome sweet tea I may be up awhile...so
20 things I'm thankful for:
1. God's grace, forever thankful, that our God saves!
2. My husband who is also my best friend to share this life with!
3. Three amazing children that God has given to Jeff and I to raise to know and serve
him!
4. A job that I love! Love my 24 "other kiddos"!!! My first graders that is! It's so awesome to have a job so rewarding!
5. A warm, safe place we call home! It's definitely hard to keep it as clean as I would like but I've gotten better at accepting that "it's lived in"!
6. Thankful everyday that we have food to nourish our body!
7. A wonderful church that helps me grow spiritually every weekend!
8. That being said, thankful for sat. night service for when our Sunday mornings are spent at the soccer field.

12. Laughter and giggles of a two year old, oh how I love, my sweet Chloe's giggle! (OK, yes she is a little stinker sometimes but her cuteness makes up for it all)
13. The silly things Preston says! He loves to make me smile!
14. Austin, our classic first born. Organized, worrier, takes care of everyone, wants everyone to be happy! So proud of each of my children!
