November 8th

Yay for today!! I am thankful that I get to see my parents and sister today and all of my mom's side of the family.  I am thankful that I get to spend a wonderful few days with everyone and enjoy the beautiful weather in Santa Barbara. Which means, I will be catching up on a few posts when we get back.

November 7th

Today I am thankful to have been so blessed with a energetic, healthy little boy. I am so proud to be his mama and get to stay home with him and watch him grow and learn. Being a mom is so far, my most favorite "job" in the world:) Oh, and I wanted to add here that I am ever so thankful that Kade now loves toasted seaweed and will down my milkshakes/smoothies that I add avocado, spinach and carrot juice to. I'm on to you kid and your ways of eating vegtables!! (although he is eating a cupcake here..ha ha:)

November 6th

Today I am thankful for the simple fact that I got to spend all day with all of my boys. We ended the day with a nice hike in San Luis. It was beautiful. Full of rainbows and crisp wind. It felt like fall and I was in heaven. I am just plain thankful for all my special days with all my special boys.

Beautiful rainbows....

And my loves.

Squeezing under the rainbow.

Odus....doing his best to pose.....

The other end of the rainbow.

Still staring at the rainbow. It seriously was the longest lasting rainbow I have seen! 

Kade running down the hill at the end of the hike. It was 5:15 here and it was already dark......

Kade ended his night with a little rump shaking and maraca shakin'.  Paul and I were loving the entertainment for sure.

November 5th

Today I am thankful that I get to celebrate, yet another beautiful friend and her baby girl that will be arriving around Christmas time. I don't know what could be more special than getting to hold another adorable baby. Here's to showering them with love!

November 4th

Alright...its all about cupcakes today. I know...but I am thankful for cupcakes...which then circles around to being thankful for gluten-free cupcakes and other gluten-free options for us gluten-free eaters. I am thankful that on special occasions, or not, I am able to celebrate and have my share of delicious sweets and goodies. And, I am telling you, the gluten-free mixes they make today for baked goods are not to bad...at all. Even the ol' Betty Crocker is on to it also. So cheers to you, my latest cupcakes. Thank you for letting me celebrate yet another wonderful birthday with my dear sweetness, Paul.

November 3rd

I figured I wouldn't make it far into November without a thankful post for my little baby boy. Oh, how I am so thankful for him. Kade is just a blessing to us all and life would not be the same with out his craziness and excitement. I am ever so thankful that each morning (and naptime(s) I get to go and pick Kade up from out of his crib like he is the very best christmas present I am waiting to open on christmas morning. Everyday I get to spend with my little boy is just the best.

November-The Month to Give Thanks

I was just reading people's comments on facebook and came across people who were giving thanks. How wonderful, I thought. I am a firm believer in giving thanks, but must admit that I may not always do it as often as I would like. So it seems the challenge is to give thanks on everyday of november. So here I go folks, I am taking on the challenge, but doing so on my blog. Which means, I will be blogging everyday this month!

I am already behind, so for my November 1st post, I am dedicating this one to my husband because it was/is his birthday. I am ever so thankful for all his hard work and dedication to us. Thank you babe, for all that you do. I am so grateful for you. Your health. Your humor. Your love. For just you. You will always be my favorite.

And here is my dear post for November 2nd. I am thankful for Odus. Yes, I truly love my dog, but must say this post may be out of a little guilt because we seem to be neglecting Odus just a tad lately. I love Odus for all his energy and love for Kade. So gentle and kind you are Odus to Kade when he pokes you, jumps on you, pulls at your mouth to discover your teeth, pulls your dog dish out from underneath you as you try to eat your meals. You Odus, are the bestest dog!
