Thankful Thursday..

1.  Today I am thankful for rain, then snow, then sun, then snow, then sun.  Living where we do the weather provides us with such a myriad of experiences on a daily basis that we can't possibly get bored with it, especially when it changes so often.
2.  I am also thankful that I did not lose any toes or fingers while sitting in the snow/sun watching Taylor play ball.  It was a COLD day in April but the little troopers stuck it out!
3.  Oh, the intricacies of baseball.  I am working on a future post that details all the fun that America's favorite pastime has to offer so I am paying quite a bit of attention to players, fans, coaches, dad's etc.  A laugh a minute, I tell you what.
4.  I am thankful that Parker's Drive-in was not busy when we arrived to order our dinner.  Parker's has always been good to us, and for this we are forever grateful.
5.  I am thankful that my lovely, beautiful, glowing sister went to the cannery and picked me up some chicken and syrup even though I have not paid her yet and she has not even called to nag - yet.  Thanks J.D. and I will get you a check!  One day  -  bwa hah ha ha!
6.  Still love the hubby, the kids, the dog is okay, the house, blah, blah, blah.
7.  And lucky number seven is..... Reed cleaned out the toxic waste dump that was our pond and saved a fishes life in the process.  Reed, I am grateful, the kids are grateful, but more importantly the fish are grateful to be breathing something other than sludge.  A thousand kisses and hugs my dear man, you deserve every one!

Thanks for appreciating the things that make me crazy... like the weather. Glad you made it through a cold game. We might be in for one tonight! And lastly, I did notice the fish. I could see them. The pond looks beautiful.

Good job Reed! It is not cool to make the fish live in sludge.

I always love reading your Thankful Thursday...I couldn't believe the snow yesterday. Sorry you had to sit through it. You are such a good mom.
Sorry I am not to creative on the naming of your blog. My mind is blank.

They were our neighbors when we lived in Eagle Mountain. Now that it's Bishop Peisley they are way to spiritual for us!! Ha!J/K!! They are great, it makes me wish we still lived in that neighborhood, except when I can be to Target in 2 minutes instead of 20, then I am glad we are in civilization again. I was asking Josh if he knew how you guys could know each other and he figured out the mission connection, but he couldn't figure out who Reed & Nat were, what a nerd!

FANCY, good to see your smiling face. Ya old babs and roland are pretty proud they pretty much adopted me know. I just hope my teeth dont go as yellow as his. And they thought buchy was the spiritual one. Remember if you need to repent about anything i am 5 to 10 dollars cheaper than any of your bishops. just trying to build the clientel.
