Giving Thanks

It was a wonderful Thanksgiving with delicious food and so many things to be grateful for. We hosted dinner at our house and made do with what space we had even with 11 adults and 9 kids. It makes me wonder where we'll be 5 years from now.
I love the Thanksgiving holiday. I love being with family and taking a break from everyday life. The boys love having Kyle home - I love it more. Along side having the gospel as a part of my life, Kyle and my dear boys are what I am most grateful for. Kyle is such a wonderful husband (note: no need for people to continue reading this if you are bothered by my sappiness). He takes such good care of me and the boys. He makes time for us no matter what his crazy schedule is like. He has such a good heart and is always thinking of others before himself. I honestly could spend all day everyday with him. He is my best friend.
I also love each of my three boys so much. I cannot imagine my life with out them. They very much little boys in the sense that they are rowdy, messy and at times mischievous, but the are such good boys who love each other and their mommy and daddy. Yes, I am still more than willing to have more children even with three boys ages 4 and younger. I love being a wife and mother more than I could ever express.
I am also so grateful for all the comforts of life we enjoy as a family. We have a love-filled home, a good job that Kyle enjoys very much, wonderful extended family, and dear friends. Kyle and I often find ourselves in awe of the blessed life we live. We without hesitation give thanks and credit to Heavenly Father for all we have and try to share what we've been given. How thankful we are for the life we've been blessed with. Happy Thanksgiving.

Here are some pics from an afternoon walk on the Provo River trail:
