Today my dad and his girlfriend, Carolyn, took the boys to a birthday party. It was for the son of one of Carolyn's friends. They played games, ate cake, did presents, etc. at the little boys house and then went to a farm for the remainder of the birthday party. I am so grateful to them for this time I had to myself! I don't get a break often and it was sure nice! I am also grateful that my boys got to go do something new and fun! I also want to say that I am so grateful to live near my dad and Carolyn! When I moved away from my dad back in 2004 when we moved to St. George, I spent years kicking myself for ever moving away! It was hard to not see him as much as we would all have liked to! But now we are living just 30 min from each other and it is such a treat! Carolyn is also so great and she loves the kids! The kids love being with them! You should hear and see the kids when I tell them we are going to be doing something with Dad and Carolyn! Anyway, thank goodness for help, grandparents, and living so close again! Here are a couple pictures from today! They had so much fun!

I love that you are doing a 30 days of thanks feature. I grew up doing stuff like that with my family and I wish I would have focused my self and done it on my blog this year. It'll probably just be one post right before Thanksgiving now if I'm lucky:) haha. I love all the things you are sharing and pray that God continues to provide your needs for your next little boy!
