Happy Thanksgiving

Today we are celebrating Thanksgiving with NeMa and PopBob. The turkey is in the oven and man am I missing my double oven that I had for less than a year.:( I was soooo happy to get it, and it was so nice, and then we moved, and now I want it back sooo badly! Maybe my dear husband will buy me one for Christmas this year although if he does I might feel a little jipped because that was my Christmas present last year.LOL
Ok, it is Thanksgiving so I would like to just put a few things in here that we are thankful for.
First and foremost we are so incredibly thankful for the gift of Jesus Christ. His sacrifice for us is so great that I will forever be joyful the opportunity to spend my eternity with my Savior!
Secondly I am so grateful for my sweet family. I could have never asked for a better husband or children. Its funny, because I wished so much that Parker was a girl when I was pregnant with him, and now I am so so so happy he is the boy that he is! What precious boys I get the opportunity to raise. My biggest prayer though is that they are both destined to know our Lord and Savior. I hope that they will know him greatly and deeply, for the majority of their lives.
I am thankful for our church that we feel growth almost daily by being a part of it. Our pastor has a true gift from God of speaking truth to us, apologetically in a way that helps us desire to please God.
There are many more things I am thankful for such as the rest of our family, our friends, Darin's job, our dogs, our home, the food we will enjoy today, and tomorrow, and the next day. God has truly blessed our lives, and for all that He's done, we are so grateful. I just hope that through anything we will be thankful and constantly giving Him praise. Desiring His will to be done in EVERY circumstance.
I love Thanksgiving! What a great reminder to give thanks... the thanks that we should be giving daily.
Something else I am incredibly grateful for are my boys personalities. They say the funniest things. A couple of which I will share...
A few weeks ago or maybe even a couple months ago Parker saw a golf course and he said "golf, me." And I said well, you are too little to play golf right now and he said "dada?" And I said, "Yes, Daddy is big, so he can play golf. When you get big you can play golf too." So, lately anytime the words big, small, young, old... anything having to do with age or size Parker says "big-golf-me." And gives us this look that is so matter-of-fact. As I am writing this I am imaging it and it is hilarious! Everytime Darin or I hear this we laugh so hard. But I am thinking that you really have to see him do it. He's also been singing a lot. "Bado bado bado bado Badobado."
This morning we had to run to the store for french fried onions. You know, green bean casserole. I had forgotten them, and Thanksgiving isn't the same without them. Well, Darin took the car to work, so we were driving in the truck. In Darin's truck there is a picture of me. Conner asked "Mommy what are you doing in that picture?" I told him "I was flying an airplane." He said "Whats Daddy doing?" And I said "he was flying the airplane too. Daddy taught Mommy how to fly an airplane on our first date." He said "Who was babysitting us?" And I said "No one, you weren't born yet." and he said, "Oh, so we were just by ourselves then."
LOL, he knows that when we go on a date, they have a babysitter. He just has no concept of a time when he was not.
These boys are so cute. Just love them so much!
Thank you God for precious family!
