Gratitude, thankfulness, or appreciation is a positive emotion or attitude in acknowledgment of a benefit that one has received or will receive.
Gratefulness is the key to a happy life that we hold in our hands, because if we are not grateful, then no matter how much we have we will not be happy -- because we will always want to have something else or something more.
WHO COULD WANT ANYTHING MORE THAN THESE CUTE FACES EVERY DAY TO REMIND ME WHAT THIS LIFE IS ALL ABOUT....
.............As THIN Feels! That has been my moto since Oct 1st when I started HCG diet.. I am proud to say I lost a total of 23 lbs! =) My Birthday was this week! (monday!) I am thinner this birthday than I have been since my last 4 or 5 birthdays! SO that's good! I had a lot of problems losing baby weight.. I gained 50 lbs with Tessa and just never lost it.. So its about time for me! Its really not a drastic change in looks.. but i just wanted to toot my horn for a minute. If you don't want to know how i did it.. STOP READING NOW! =) BUt if you've ever struggled with weight I am sure you understand. I read the book called “The Weight Loss Cure” by Kevin Trudeau! It was awesome! Then my mom and I ordered the homeopathic drops from the website.. We followed the diet strictly and slowly the weight came off. My mom lost 30 lbs! here is the website.. (I don't get any money or anything by telling you.. i just wanted to share if your interested call me! =)

The Fairy Princess in the making..........
Saturday we had our trunker treat at the church.. it was actually more like tricker-treating in the church hallway because we were rained out! But the kids loved it!
Here are the kidos getting ready to go: *Beware picture overload
And our Brave Dragon or Dinosaur, or someone even called him a crocodile...
Yesterday Tess participated in her first ever primary program .. I had practiced her part with her all week. She could do part of it, but not all of it. so i was really interested to see what she would do.
this was her part:
Sunbeam Teacher: "Sunbeams, How can you make your home like heaven?"
Tessa: (actual responses) "I can play with my cousins and help my mom in the store."
So when the big moment arrived. She had help with the first part. The scolded her teacher saying, "No I can do it myself!" Totally picking that up in the microphone. Then perfectly recited "AND HELP MY MOM IN THE STORE!" Loud and clear! i almost cried! i have never been so proud in my life! I wish i could have seen her face.. I am in primary with nick so we were on the stands as well..
After the program I got numerous responses about how cute Tessa is.. How funny she was, what a good singer she was... (even though she didn't know most of the words she would just SING FROM THE TOP OF HER LUNGS!) There were only three sunbeams right up front and she was definitely putting on a show by the smiles on peoples faces in the audience! It was just so fun to see! It was really an awesome and spiritual program from the primary. I was really impressed with all of them!
You moms out there know what I am talking about!
Why is it that you can NEVER get your kids to look up at the same time??? Its a nightmare! All that work and I didnt get ONE good one! I quit! So you might get a photo shopped Christmas card this year! =)
