Feeling Very Grateful!!!!!

As I sit here tonight holding my little one I have so much gratitude in my heart. Earlier tonight I had a friend on facebook IM me and he asked "what's the word of the day?" as I sat there for a moment I IM him back and told him *Gratitude*. He sent me a smiley face back and told me that is the word of the day! How often do we go through out our day and not stop in the middle of it just to thank our Heavenly Father for even the littlest thing. This pass year and a half or even longer I have learn and felt so much gratitude for our Heavenly Father and his son Jesus Christ. The blessings He has poured down on my family I can't even put a number on them. I have learned patience, love, forgiveness, faith, hope, charity, long suffering, and even humility. I have grown as a person that I hope is pleasing to my Heavenly Father. I know that I'm for from perfect but I'm just grateful that he loves and cares for each of us so much that even if we think he has turned his back on us, he hasn't we just need to open our eyes a little more.

Day at the Zoo with Alex

I had a wonder time with Alex and his Kindergarten class went on a field trip to the ZOO. I was able to ride the bus with him. Boy was it LOUD!!! A bunch of 5 and 6 year old boys and girls just a talking away with their friends. We got to the zoo and had a wonderful time. Having a picnic lunch and then looking and learning about the animals, The picture can tell you some of the animals we saw. My favorite animal were the snakes. Alex really enjoyed the Tigers and Apes. I really enjoyed spending the day with Alex. Watching him hang out with his friends and even watching him flirt with the girls. He is such STUD!!!
