Count your blessings

count them one by one

even the inappropriate in public ones

The ones who steal your ice cream

The ones who tripple your grocery bill

The ones who tag along on mom and dad's get aways

When upon life’s billows you are tempest-tossed,

When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,

Count your many blessings, name them one by one,

And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

Are you ever burdened with a load of care?

Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?

Count your many blessings, every doubt will fly,

And you will keep singing as the days go by.

When you look at others with their lands and gold,

Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold;

Count your many blessings—

wealth can never buyYour reward in heaven, nor your home on high.

So, amid the conflict whether great or small,

Do not be discouraged, God is over all;

Count your many blessings, angels will attend,

Help and comfort give you to your journey’s end.

Count your blessings, name them one by one,

Count your blessings, see what God hath done!

Count your blessings, name them one by one,

Count your many blessings, see what God hath done.

And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

It gets better every year

Mother's Day that is

Why did the wife cross the road? Who cares, why was she out of the kitchen and where did she get those shoes!

What every mom needs, an oven!!!!

Holden made me this at school

Mother's day was sweet this year Holden and Billy were equally excited for me to get out of bed that morning, they tricked me by saying there were pancakes waiting for me even though I knew there weren't any pancakes I figured I should go see what they were so excited about, it was a good day even without the pancakes. And I love my toaster oven.

Sea World

Billy had the day off of work and school which is rare so he took us to Sea world for the day it was alot of fun to spend the whole day as a family everyone had a good time especially Holden. Afterwards we went to dinner and poor Holden was so tired one minuete he was just sitting there and the next his eyes were shut, he had driffted off to sleep while sitting there.


So here are a few pictures from the day.
Holden's first real ride he was really excited until he remembered that he was afraid of heights.

Holden and Billy being silly of course.
