Thanks Giving Picture Explosion!

So I decided to do a picture explosion of things that I am Thankful for, for November. So here are some things I am thankful for. It's kind of amazing once you start counting your blessings that you realize how blessed you really are. I am so very thankful for the blessing in my life. Here are just a few and not in any particular order. 

I am THANKFUL FOR:

My Job I am a nurse, and I LOVE it! I also am so thankful for Brandon's job and how hard he works so I don't have to work as much. This is my first day working as a nurse so it's kind of old...

 Any colored  Oreo creme frosting! It seems like it tastes so much better! Thank you Nabisco!! 

So thankful for the veggies that come from my garden! 

 CHRISTMAS! For the Spirit that comes and changes everyone, young, and old to a loving, giving, spirit.

It is just magical, how everything changes.

 This AMAZING MAN!! I would be lost without him! He is an amazing father and husband! and I just LOVE him like crazy!

 My sewing machine! I had a great friend teach me how and I just love figuring out how to attempt to make simple things like curtains, baby bumpers, etc. 

 Flowers! they are just beautiful and smell wonderful, and the sweat peas reminds me of my grandmother Muttie, and now my mom's house in early spring!

 Again my garden but this is more thankful for my ability to keep a garden and for the space to have a garden.

 Great friends and neighbors, without these guys I would probably HATE it here! but  they have become our family away from family! And really do feel their love for me and my family! Thanks guys I brag about how AWESOME you all are all the time!

 Actic Cat rides and spending time in the outdoors with my husband and our fun exploring trips around the Gila Valley.

 Sisters and sister-n-laws! these girls are so AMAZING and I am so thankful for them and for all the fun times that we have!

 And again GREAT FRIENDS!

So Braxton is really 15 weeks right now(catching up) Here He is starting to sleep through the night. He wakes up about 3am and then 6 am and then gets up for the day around 8 am. We started walking with some neighbors and he LOVES IT! He has recently started finding his fingers and likes to suck on them. He is starting to stand with assistance of course, Is in size 1 diapers! He is taking his pacifier better and is just so stinkin cute!

 AND sleeping in his room!!

I don't know if that is a great accomplishment for me or for Braxton. 

 Check out those rolls!!

 He LOVES his bumbo! and is such a great helper with mommy and her projects!

He is starting to smile at us an actually "see us" It is so fun!

 but so hard to get a good picture of it.

For my mom's birthday she wanted ALL her children and grandchildren to go Trick or Treating at Disneyland. So this is us the day before trick or treating and we are in California Adventure Land! Braxton was so excited! His first amusement park! 

 Braxton did great! we were a little worried at the beginning of the day but figured things out and he spent most of the time in the sling sleeping. This was right after World of Color! can I just say 

AMAZING! I'm pretty sure I had goosebumps like the whole time!

 We hung out with Denise most of the time! And Cars land was SO FUN and So CUTE!

 He hung out with John and Lindsey for a little bit too. Yes this is Lindsey holding Braxton and baby Liv (2 weeks old).

 We let John and Lindsey go on Screamin then we switched. It was so fun! LOVE THAT ONE!

 Just look at that cute face!! The only ride he was actually awake on was the caterpillar ride in Bugs Land

Yes he is super spoiled and got to go to California Adventure 8 weeks old!

Little man and some projects!

All snuggled up with daddies arm. His favorite!

 Lately Braxton has started smiling and tracking us and really seeing us. Here is a smiley picture! He has the cutest smile just like his daddy!

 He loves sleeping with the boppy pillow!

 For YW we had lesson on temples and marriage and I attempted to make "wedding cakes" AKA sugar cookies stacked on top of each other. Not like the picture but they tasted good. And the girls liked it!

 Family photo. He is always asleep in our family photos.

 While I was in Mesa waiting for Braxton to come I made these curtains I like them. We had black curtains up before.

 He is getting so strong and can hold his head up and just needs alittle bit of help. I can't believe how strong and big he is getting!

 My new Halloweenie decoration that I put together. Words Target $1 each and wire and some ribbon! I totally love it!

 My boys! Braxton sleeps so good when he is cuddled up with his daddy!
