Snow Day

We LOVE spending time together as a family...it doesn't really matter what it is we are doing, but it's so fun to be together!! The girls LOVED sledding.

We are so proud...

Jared ran the "1/2 Harvest Marathon" here in Calgary right before Thanksgiving...he trained for 2 weeks and did SO good. He actually beat his goal by 2 minutes and ran it in 1 hour and 43 minutes!! Good job Jared.

Happy Turkey Day

I have so much to be thankful for. I cannot express how much I love and am thankful for my family. I would be so lost without them in my life and I feel blessed that they chose me to go through life and eternity with. My girls are amazing- yes, they are a handful and can be little stinkers', but I LOVE them! They get to teach me so much everyday about myself and about the world around them....it's amazing to watch them explore and discover everyday.
Jared is the most amazing DAD and HUSBAND. He is so hands-on with the girls and they LOVE him (I love that he does it all; laundry, shopping, cooking, bathing, construction, cleaning, ect). He is the best listener and gives such good advice. He is my better half and definitely balances me out!!!
I am so thankful for our home. It was a miracle that we actually made it through the 5 months without a home....we are so grateful that we are in a beautiful home that is safe and VERY comfortable. I really couldn't be any happier with it- love the decorating style that I am going with and the builder has been great. LOVE it!!!

It was such a fun weekend celebrating. We got to eat 2 big dinners that were amazing- I am so thankful for extended family. We are so happy that we are able to live as close to family as we do. They really are a great support to our little family and so much fun!
