Count Your Many Blessings Name Them One by One!

Ok I got a real eye opener today at work! One of my co-workers is taking his family on a trip to Mexico! I know I was so jealous! It seems like everyone is triping right now some where warm. After he explained their trip I was still jealous but really Humbled! His family and others are going to rebuild a home for a family in Mexico. The living conditions are horrible! Ray informed me that 5% of the WORLDS population lives they way we do! 1% of that 5% are the people in Castles and such 80% Live in conditions like this family! 80% WOW! and the other 15% live between us and them. How SAD! So Tonight I am Counting MY BLESSINGS!

MY AUTOMOBILE! Even though it keeps falling a part little by little!






The WEATHER! 1st the Awesome Moisture! (even though it is getting so hard to bare) 2nd A small sign of SPRING! We were able to enjoy an evening walk!

Last but Definantly not least! MY BEAUTIFUL, WONDERFUL, HEALTHY CHILDREN!!!!!

God has blessed me sooooo much! I couldn't have asked for a better step daughter! From day one she has been such a well behaved child! She is so SMART and So full of LOVE!!!
All three of my kids were born healthy! The boys had a couple issues but for the most part healthy! All three have been very good babies!!!! and All three are just so fun and Amazing!!!



And I just have to tell this Story! A couple days ago I droped Brax off at daycare? The deal was if he didn't chew on the top of his shirt, we would stop at the station for a treat! Well when I picked him up, the neck of his shirt was stretched out and soaken wet! NASTY!!!! Well today when I picked him up he stood up so tall in front of me and said "MOM lets stop and get a treat! Only one bite today and then I stopped!" I just laughed then he said " and I want to go in with you" I asked if he could just tell me what treat he wanted and I would run in. He said "No I have to go in..." I asked why? "Because I want to go in with you! Because You Look so PRETTY!" AAAHHHH! It just melted me! Both of the boys and I went in! We got chocotate milk, Cheetos, and Laffy Taffy! Dosen't get any better than this!!!! I am so blessed I get to be a MOM!!!
