blogger slacker...

I have been feeling forever that I have been seriously neglecting my blog, but then I look and its only been 11 days, not too bad, but seems like an eternity to me!! I am so caught up in christmas and shopping and all that, that I have been neglecting things I normally do. Like pinterest, my blog, reading, ect....ect.... But the good news is, I am done shopping!!!! My goal every year is to be done by December 1rst so I can really just enjoy the whole christmas season and I reached my goal!! WOOHOO!!!! :) I am sossosososo excited for christmas. I love this time of year.
Here we are almost a month ago, when we got that one huge snow storm!!! The kids had fun going out and playing in it and then of course coming in for some hot chocolate. But.....the weather has been awesome ever since! 50's and 60's. Now this is my kind of winter. But I do always wish for snow for christmas and then wish it gone by new years. :)

Thanksgiving was so perfect. We had it at my mom and dads and we just ate and relaxed all day. Then me and my little sister april did some serious black friday shopping that night!! from 830-230 in the morning. It was so much fun, and not too crazy! :) The day after thanksgiving we packed up and headed down to st. george with jamie and luke and their kids and kalebs parents and sister kwinci. Another great time just eating, relaxing, shopping and playing cards and hanging out in the sun at the park. Perfect. Other than that, life just keeps flying by every day. I finally put up christmas today, wasn't so much into the decorating this year, wont' get our tree til monday. BUT- and this is BIG- I got kaleb to put up some christmas lights outside our house!!!! This neverevereverever happens. I am so happy. :) 1 more day til december, life is good.

I am most thankful for him...

Today I want to write a post about the person I am most thankful for in this world, Kaleb. I don't feel like I express my thanks to him hardly ever, I guess I hope that it is just unspoken that I appreciate him and all that he does. Since we found out I was pregnant with celine, every decision kaleb has made about his life has been for me and her, and then later Tage and Aliah. He is so selfless. He does so much for our family, even if it means never thinking of himself and what he really wants. I have never known anyone who works as hard as Kaleb, and who is so amazingly talented. He impresses me often with his skills. He chose a job that maybe wasn't his first choice, but one he knew would be able to support our family and  provide for us. Deep in my heart I have a wish that he could've picked a job that was his passion. I appreciate every morning when he wakes up and goes to his job so that we can have a beautiful home and food and clothes and all the other things in our life.We come first to him, no matter what. No matter if he is sacrificing his own happiness, because if his family is happy, he is happy. People ask kaleb for help all the time, and he always gives it. Even when I am telling him not too!:) Yes, sometimes I try to get him to put himself first, but he won't. Kaleb is so funny, and so friendly, he has this personality that instantly makes everyone his friend. I have learned so much just by watching him. I am a little bit shyer with people that I don't know and I see kaleb reach out to anyone and everyone and it inspires me. Another thing I am so grateful about Kaleb is his inability to be offended or hurt. He always gives people the benefit of the doubt, no matter what their actions, and he encourages me to do the same. But I am one who gets their feelings hurt and is sometimes not forgiving of other peoples faults, and Kaleb is always trying to help me be a better person. I really appreciate that, even when  I am fighting against it. :) I know that there are people in Kalebs life who don't see him the way he really is, who don't appreciate the amazing man that he is, and it makes me sad.  I feel bad for the people who don't take advantage of knowing who Kaleb really is and appreciating him and everything about him.  It is definitely their loss. Anyone who knows Kaleb I consider lucky. And I am lucky that half my life ago, he chose me to be his other half. I knew when I was dating him that he would be a wonderful dad and a great husband, and that he would always be my best friend. I know now that whatever hard time we go through, we will make it through. He is the best dad and husband, and I love him and am so grateful for him. Every day I thank my Heavenly Father for this amazing man. No, he's not perfect. I may write that list another day...haha. But today, I want to share with the world, or whoever reads my blog :), what a great and amazing husband I have and that this Thanksgiving, I am most thankful for him.

One more thought....

I don't know where this thought came from, but I have had it in my head all day. Celine is the EXACT age that me and kaleb were when we started "dating".(we were 3 months away from our 16th birthdays). Do you know how weird that is to me? I look at every boy she likes and think, nooooooooo, theres no way he is the one. I know she is going to date a million boys before she gets married. But, its like a blink and my life has passed me by. I remember being that 15 year old girl falling in love with 15 year old kaleb. wow. we were pretty stupid. :) 
Good thing we were M.F.E.O.

Things I just don't understand....or in other words, people are crazy!

Here is a list of things that lately I have been thinking about, and I just don't understand:
1: Why would anyone be a Lakers fan, and even more so, a Kobe Bryant fan.
2. Why anyone voted for Obama. Do they want our country to keep sucking?
3. What is the deal with girls wearing leggings and really short shirts. Im sorry, but it looks terrible, I don't care what size you are.
4. Why my daughters Ex-boy-that-she-likes keeps talking to her about his new girlfriend that he dumped her for even though he says he didn't. so so lame and stupid.
5. Why people hate christmas. How can you hate christmas? Its the best time of the year.
6. Why people enjoy the cold and snow. How is being cold enjoyable??
yep. these are the things I think about.

I'm gonna be honest....

I am so excited for christmas. I am so happy it is coming. A month ago, I was stressing out. I didn't want it to come. I don't know why every year I think this year I won't be excited come the first of November. I always am. I love going to the stores and seeing the christmas aisles all laid out. I love to see all the christmas goodies and cookies. I love to see the rows and rows of wrapping paper and bows and ribbon and bags.  I  love seeing what new toys are out for the season. I love seeing gingerbread house kits and foods that have to do with christmas. I love seeing decorations and ornaments and stockings and christmas tree skirts. I love the smells. Orange. Cinnamon. Vanilla. Tree. Berry. All smells of christmas. I love seeing ABC family advertise there 25 days of christmas movies. I love ordering stuff on line and waiting for it to come in the mail. I love to pick out gifts for people. I love it when the lights go up all around town. I love hiding presents in my house. I love getting out my christmas music I haven't listened to since last year. I love turning the radio to KOZY 106.5 on the 3rd of November and yep, there is christmas music playing. Yep, I love all of it. I love christmas.
