Today is a special day....

The cake turned out...at least I think so, you can be the judge. Here's how I did it:

It turned out to be a beautiful Thanksgiving weekend didn't it? We went to church Sunday morning and then we were treated to a delicious meal, a feast rather. Too much food to mention (and our hostess was gracious enough to pack us up some leftovers!) After dinner we went for a stroll with the extended family along a marina boardwalk, chatted for a while then headed home to put our babies to bed...they were full of turkey and love.

On Monday the Hubs and I decided to start our own family tradition of going for a nature walk. We headed to the local conservation area and it was SO enjoyable....the weather was just right for a sweater and a pair of running shoes, and the leaves were starting their colourful decent. We both had a hot coffee in our hands and fresh air in our lungs....delicious.Gabe was having so much fun...he was chattering about all the leaves and tree roots and birds, we found this little guy hopping along our path....can you spot him?

Ashlyn was content to grab the leaves off the trees as she would pass them by, clutching handfuls and roaring with glee at her accomplishment while safe in her daddy's arms.



Today is a new day, Thanksgiving is now over for another year but the thankfulness won't be leaving my heart as the season passes. The more thankful I am, the more I realize how much I have, constant thanks giving helps me to stay focused on the positive...

Dwight is trying to stay focused on the positive, today, he turns 30.


Happiest Birthday to my best friend, my Husband, my love and companion through this adventure called life, in all it's ups and downs....I've enjoyed the journey so much more with you by my side, showing me the real, true, and peaceful side of living.

Thank you for everything you are, everything you strive to be and for being the strong, faithful leader of our family.

You are what dreams are made of....

"I said I wanna touch the
earth

I wanna break it in my
hands

I wanna grow something wild and
unruly

I wanna sleep on the hard
ground

In the comfort of your
arms

On a pillow of
bluebonnets

In a blanket made of
stars

Oh it sounds good to me

I said Cowboy take me
away

Fly this girl as high as you
canInto the wild blue

Set me free oh I
pray

Closer to heaven above and Closer
to you closer to you

I wanna walk and not
run

I wanna skip and not
fall

I wanna look at the
horizon

And not see a building standing
tall

I wanna be the only
one

For miles and
miles

Except for maybe
you

And your simple
smile

Oh it sounds good to
me

Yes it sounds so good to
me

Cowboy take me
away

Fly this girl as high as you
can

Into the wild
blue

Set me free oh I
pray

Closer to
heaven above and Closer to you"
