These are a few of my favorite things....

Josh: He is a great dad, a wonderful husband and a true friend to anyone that knows him. I am thankful for him. Jaxon: I could not have been more blessed than I am to have God give me this wonderful human being that I can call my son. He has brought so much joy to my life its unreal. I am thankful for him.

These piggies. Are one of my favorite things to kiss, bathe, and cover up when they are cold. To that I am thankful for them. To be able to hear them run all over my house.

Jennifer: With out her life would be boring. I wouldn't have my shoulder to cry on. Someone to lean on. Or someone to have a mid afternoon margarita with. I am thankful for her.

Christmas morning: I love it. I miss you already. To capture the love of Santa in the eyes of a small child. To have the excitement just over whelm the house. I am thankful I was able to witness such joy.

New Year: To new beginnings. To a fresh start. To ringing in the year with people that I love. Here's to a great year and finding many more favorite things!!

I do it

Since he could talk he has had a certain Independence about him. "I do it". I loved it when his little voice would say those words. Even though he sometimes had no clue what he was doing. Or he wanted to lend a helping hand with me, I have always admired that he was a hands on learner . Now that he is 4 he really doesn't need much help getting dressed. I still stay present just in case he needs my help. "I do it all by myself" are the words he says now. It makes me a little sad that he doesn't need me for everything now. "I'm hungry" are words I hear alot from him. So I tell him find something to eat and I will help you make it. I let him put the snack ideas together. He can open the fridge. He can open the pantry. So he can grab whatever his little heart desires. Here he is with minimal help from me making a peanut butter sandwich. "Watch me mom" are the words I hear when he does something a...

He's making a list....

The BIG TOY BOOKS arrived in the newspaper a few weeks ago. Let's just say he knows how to catalog shop! He knew what pages to go to that had toys for him. Anything Spiderman is topping his list right now. He will sit and watch the Spiderman movie and not move. Not the cartoon either...the movie with Toby Maguire. He would come across the pages that had the barbies and doll houses and anything pink and point at them and yell "JESSIE!!" So I am glad he knows what she likes because she changes her mind every 5 minutes. We will be shopping soon and from the very worn out toy book he has carried with him for the past few weeks now. He points at 3 things every time he opens the book from Wal-Mart...so i know he means business. And the 50" flat screen that he points at and yells "DAAAADDDY" well sorry for your luck son.
