I mean we have had a Christmas party to go to each weekend. I seriously have the most amazing friends and church family! I am super stoked about this Christmas! It is the first in the Boatner Ranch and it also is the first with our precious Mercy! I am so excited about taking the Winkles family picture this year and having our sweet brown sugar baby in it. "For this child we have prayed and the Lord has granted us our petition." I got to meet Miss Mercy's bff yes I said BFF her best friend forever. Since they were both precious little babies in that orphanage in Africa. Stella is a beautiful little girl and reminds me of my sweet niece. I love those brown skin beauties! ;) Tomorrow I am so excited to be making Candy with Bo's sister and Momma. It is the one thing I look forward to doing each year with them. We have not done it since Walker came along but we are starting it back up tomorrow and I am so excited!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Today I am thankful for my Savior Jesus Christ who crawled up on that cross to die for you and me. I am thankful that he loves me even when I mess things up. I am thankful that he has blessed me with the best parents, the best sisters and their families, the best husband and best children in the world. He has given me far more than I deserve. I am thankful that 12 years ago today the Father introduced me to the one he created for me. I am thankful for all of the up's and downs that we have been through because without them I would not have the marriage I have today. Jesus I love you and I thank you for your Mercy without you I am nothing, but with you I have all that I need! I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving and remember even if you feel you have nothing you got more than someone else does, so give thanks.! Be Blessed!

Thankful day 3

I am so thankful for my husband today! When I think that before I was even born that God knew that Bo and I would be married it just completely wrecks me. I know without a shadow of a doubt I married my one and only!! I married this man for life, I took a vow that I take very seriously before my Father (God) that said I would love him in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health as long as we both shall live. Believe me those vows have been tested and tested to the point to where most would break. However greater is he that lives in us than he that lives in the world. Without him our marriage would not be where we are today. Through God's grace and mercy and his never wavering love for us that we have learned to give each other much grace, mercy and love. So today I am thankful for my God fearing husband who allows the Lord to lead and guide him all that he does! I am thankful that he is the head of our household and he takes that responsibility very seriously. He is my best friend, my biggest cheerleader, and loves me even when I am a grumpy pants! This man tells me how beautiful I am even when I am wearing the exact same thing I wore when he kissed me bye in the morning. Only now its covered in snot, sweat and stains and my hair is a hot mess. I am just blessed beyond words. I love him for all of these things but I love and am most thankful for the changes this man has made in his life that he loves Jesus even more than he loves me. I hope you guys have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Blessings!

Thankful day 2

Wow yesterday was so stressful around this house. The kids are out for the whole week of school and it was rather loud in this big ol house and I know more than 4 times before lunch I made them all separate and go to their own rooms. Then after lunch I was just like you know what how about I just bring all the laundry into my bedroom and do it there so I can shut the door and not have to hear it all. The only thing I do not like about this house is the thing I love about it. That its an open floor plan! RATHER LOUD!!! So today's thankful I am thankful for my home! I have dreamed about this house and even wrote essays in High School about it. (with a little tweaking to compromise for it to also be my husbands dream house)This house is so perfect for us and I can not wait to fill it up with family on the weekends this summer. I love figuring out how to decorate it for Christmas. This house was built with my husbands own two hands just for me. I can not tell you how much this means to me. Ahhh that's another days thankful. What an amazing Man of God I have in my life! LOVE THAT BOY!! I am thankful not only that it gives me shelter and warmth but that God Blessed us with this house! His favor is all over this house and this house is truly built on God's Word. THIS is his house we just live in it! I am so excited about Thursday's family festivities I can not wait to see all of my Aunts, Uncles, Cousins I love my family and do not get to see them enough. Family is great isn't it? I hope everyone has a great day. Thankful day 2 that's a wrap! Blessings
