Thanksgiving 2011

I wanted to do a little post about the many many blessings in my life that I'm thankful for.  First of all, I am most thankful for my perfect little family.  My husband Rob--he is the most wonderful husband, partner, and daddy in the world.  He is the best man I've ever known.  I am so lucky to have such a wonderful person to spend my life with.  He is loving, kind, thoughtful, helpful, and I could not ask for more in a husband!  Not to mention he's so damn good looking :) 

My sweet Lucas Caden...I cannot believe that little man is almost 6 years old.  I can still remember every single thing about the night I delivered him.  He was almost 6 weeks early, only weighed 5 pounds, 11 ounces, and was the skinniest little thing.  It was the most amazing, indescribable feeling when they put him on my chest.  There are not words to describe the love and emotion I felt when I saw him, held him, talked to him.  It is the most special moment when you meet your baby for the first time :)  He is such a sweet, loving, kind little boy.  I love him so much and cannot believe how big he is!  He is smart, crazy smart, and I am so proud of him!  He is the best biggest big brother in the world!  I say that b/c Cash is the best biggest younger brother in the world :)  I remember holding Caden and telling him that I would be the best mommy any little boy had ever had and that I would always love him and take the best care of him.  Those first moments with him were some of the most special moments of my life.  We are beyond thankful and grateful for our big boy!!

Cash B---what a hoot!  That kid is the funniest person I know.  I swear...he makes me laugh all day long!  Cash's delivery was much easier than Caden's b/c my water broke so I knew I was in labor.  It wasn't nearly as stressful b/c I took a quick shower then we headed into the hospital and a few hours later, there he was.  Poor thing...he had been ready to greet the world for quite some time I guess b/c his little face was so bruised and swollen.  But he was precious and beautiful anyway.  He has grown up so much in the last 6 months.  He will turn 5 in March and start kindergarten next year.  I cannot believe it!  He brings us so much joy and laughter and remembers every single thing!  He brings up stuff that I can't even remember and the memories that he recalls always put a smile on my face.  He is a loving, sweet, smart little thing and I love him so dearly.  He is such a great big and little brother, and we are so thankful to have him!! 

Camryn Rose---our sweet princess.  We are so very blessed to have been given this little princess.  To us, she is the most beautiful, sweetest, and funniest little girl that's ever graced this Earth.  She is sometimes a little sassy, and sure is entertaining.  We love that sweet angel so much, and cherish every second with her.  She has brought so much joy to our family and our lives.  Rob lights up every time she says 'love you daddy.'  It's like nothing I've ever seen.  She makes him so happy to be a daddy!  She is talking all the time now and saying everything!  It is so cute and so much fun!  She just turned 2 this week and seems like such a big girl!  We are loving every minute of it.  She is the best little sister!!

I am also extremely thankful for my mom and dad.  They are the absolute best parents I could've asked for.  I swear I couldn't have handpicked better ones.  They are so giving and loving and keep us all so tight as a family and are always there for us for anything and everything. 

The friendship I'm most thankful for is of course the one I share with Jess.  She's the best!  And for some reason I'm really missing her right now.  It kinda sucks really, but I am so thankful to have her in my life.  I wouldn't know who to turn to if I didn't have her!  She's my bestest friend and will always be. ..Jenn isn't bad either... I'm also thankful for Jered, and our friendship.  He's always there to give advice and be supportive when I need it. 

I am also thankful for my friendships with numerous other people, and the joy and fun in my life because of them. 

So I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving and be thankful every day for the many great blessings in your life.  And give thanks to God b/c he is the reason we have these many blessings :)
