2nd WEEK OF GRATITUDE....AND A SHOCKER!!!

 (little flower turkeys I made last year)
Day 8: I'm thankful for friends!!!!  Seriously, what would I do without them!!!!!  From elementary school through to now....I love you all!
Day 9: I'm thankful for nieces & nephews!!!! I was blessed to be with 6 of them (Michael, Sofia, Sariah, Jean-Jacques II, Ruslan & Joseph) tonight. Can't wait to see Jade next month! (yes, lots of my gratitude has to do with family!) Love to all my nieces & nephews and all my cousins kids that I consider nieces & nephews too!
 Day 10 - I'm thankful for cooler weather....finally!!!! I really try to enjoy days that actually make me cold in this desert.

 
(This is what my boys do during church)
Day 11 - I'm thankful for a prophet and apostles that serve as Christ did. My family and I had the privilege of listening to 2 of those apostles today at Stake Conference.
Day 12 - I'm thankful for all who have or are currently serving our country! Thank you for your service and dedication to this great land!!!
Day 13 - I'm thankful for luxury!!!!! For example: electricity, grocery stores, van, washer & dryer, dishwasher, stove & oven, computers, etc. They make life so much easier.....so why do we still complain?!?
(CHIPS & SALSA....my favorite food group! this isn't Blue Adobe)
Day 14 - I'm thankful for MEXICAN FOOD!!!! Awesome lunch at Blue Adobe today!    
Now for the shocker.....



This is what I found yesterday and this morning 
I walked past the boys bathroom after everyone was at school and imagine my surprise that all the towels were hung up, bath mat was over the side of the tub, shower curtain was pulled shut, toilet seat and lid were down, counter tops were cleared and there was NOTHING on the floor!!!!!  And it happened  (without any guidance from parents)
TWO DAYS IN A ROW!!!!!   
HAPPINESS!!!  
JOY!!!!! 
BLISS!!!!!!!!! 
Boys, thanks for making me so happy....
AND SHOCKED!!!!!!!

I'm so happy that your boys are being so responsible. It really must feel good to know you have taught them well and they are listening and exercising it! Awesome!
