I'm grateful for....

....leftovers. Which means tonight I don't have to decide what to make for dinner. As much as I love cooking, I hate figuring out what to make every night. Plus, there is a Relief Society "chewin' the cud" thing tonight, so I can just go without worrying what Kellan and the kids are going to eat.

Today I am grateful for a mom and dad who taught me to make tasty food.

There is nothing more satisfying that being able to create deliciousness from scratch. Growing up we never ate out anywhere. We didn't need to. Mom or Dad could make it better and cheaper with what was in our kitchen. I'm grateful they have passed that on to their children.

Now, about half the time my culinary experiments flop, but when they are successful its delightful!

That is an amazing blackberry pie which Kellan and I will be enjoying the remnants of in a moment. The crust turned out perfecto, bytheway.


And speaking of deliciousness....

Last Sunday a friend at church told me I have the most edible baby. I couldn't agree more!

Today I'm grateful for my husband Kellan.

Specifically for the fact that 7 years ago he didn't run and hide when he finally realized I was interested in him.

7 years ago today he returned the somewhat stalkerish phone call of some girl who didn't even leave her name or a coherent message, and invited her to go with him to Lagoon.

The result is 1 very happy girl, and 4 adorable blue-eyed redheads.

I love you Kellan!


Ah, good ol' Mill Hollow! What a hottie, eh!?
