22 things i am thankful for on this 22nd day of november

11.22.2012

1. My amazing husband, even with his weird quirks and sports obsessions

2. My wonderful daughter. Seriously, she is the best.

3. All the rest of our family, both mine and Tyrel's. You couldn't ask for any better.

4. Psy, for his glorious way of keeping my daughter entertained.

5. For the huge blessing of the Gospel in my life.

6. Walmart in Yankton for carrying Pillsbury apple and cherry turnovers. 

7. For my trials and all the things I learn from them.

8. Tyrel's job which allows me to stay at home with Kdawg.

9. Ty's grad school experience and getting this much closer to being actual big kids.

10. For Little Debbie not going out of business a la Hostess. Let's be honest. I would not survive without Swiss Cake Rolls.

11. Amazing friends from South Dakota to Idaho to Minnesota to Utah to everywhere else and all over.

12. Belle, for being Kemry's best friend and keeping her entertained.

13. DVR. What would I do without it? Oh yeah. I would have to watch sports all the time ;)

14.For this SNL skit and this music video.

15. That Kemry got some dance genes somewhere. They surely weren't from me.

16. Our new furnace. As much as we didn't want to drop $3,500 when we already had no money whatsoever, we are grateful to have heat during these chilly months.

17. For the chance to be a mother, and especially for the runny noses, the crayon on the wall, the late-night cuddles, and the constant presence of mac-and-cheese in my hair. I am so grateful that it aches my heat.

18. Living 5 hours from my family {but not thankful that we now have to live a bazillion from Tyrel's}.

19. For this great country we live in and all of those that keep it great.

20. For makeup removing cloths that remove my raccoon eyes every morning. The world would have one more zombie without them.

21.For the $1 we spent at a garage sale for a play shopping cart. Kemry's favorite toy and best $1 ever spent in the history of the world.

22. For the fact that Halloween, Thanksgiving, my birthday, Christmas, and Kemry's birthday run all in a row so we can end the year/bring in a new one with endless partying for the rest of our lives.

Have a great Thanksgiving! 
Spend it with your families!
{That was my anti-Thanksgiving shopping plug for y'all!}

Kemry talks.
A lot.
She repeats everything she hears.
And the scariest part is that she is really good at it.

These videos are mainly for our parents, but I guess you guys can have a peek, too :)

{Ignore the technical difficulties in the middle.}
{Also, our favorite part is at 1:38}


She is usually better at the words in the next video, but she still cracks us up.
{And why toddlers need to say "cilantro" and "cabbage" is beyond us.}
{And 2:44 is our favorite. The water flashcard makes noise, and it caught her off-guard}.


Usually, when "cake" pops up on the screen, instead of calling it by its name, she goes, "Mmmmmm! Yummmmmy!",  followed by adorable smacks from her lips.
We finally caught that in this last video.
Also, "cauliflower" is the best word ever.


Now you can move on with your day.
You are welcome.

friday happy list

8.31.2012

I have been in a funk the last few days.
Has it been just me, or have you been, too?
Is it the weather sloooowly changing to fall?
Or maybe that I can't seem to get a full night's sleep?

Today I wrote out a check to finish paying off our doctor bills.
I realized that Kemry's pregnancy/labor/NICU costs were only $200 more than what my miscarriage costs were.
Total.
And I had a moment.
A couple tears in my closet.

But now I am determined to break this funk I am in.
Funkity funk funk.

Thus, here are 10 things that make me happy:

one:
My mom and dad are coming up to spend the weekend with us. I am seriously the happiest daughter on the planet!


two:
 I finally put our engagement/wedding pictures in a book. We use MyPublisher and have done a book every year since Tyrel and I have been together. We just never got around to doing those nice ones :)
It came in the mail today, and it turned out beautifully!


three:
Tyrel makes this wicked omelet/breakfast sandwiches every morning.....and today he even made one just for me.


four:
We took Kemry to the Children's Museum where she got to meet "Dorge" in person.
Happiest little girl ever.


five:
Fall TV starts soon.
Totally happy about that.


six:



seven:
My house is clean.
100% spotless.
For about five minutes.


eight:
Refurbished Wii online for $49?
Yup.
Now Tyrel HAS to play games with me.


nine:
Fall is coming.
Someday it will be here.
It's my favorite.


ten:



And now 10 things to make YOU happy:


one:


two:
Jersey Shore has finally been cancelled.


three:

A little girl in Louisiana left rules for her stuffed animals during Hurricane Issac since she went out of town. Darling!


four:
The Paralympics.
How can you not be happy and inspired by them?


five:
Remember this?
Tell me you didn't smile.


six:

eight:
Maybe it doesn't make you happy, but you would be pretty stoked to be that kid.


nine:

 
ten: 




Hope you are now funkless.
Have a great weekend!

kemry vs. the grass

5.11.2012

Kemry hates grass.
Remember this from last summer?


This might be my favorite picture I have ever taken of her.
I just laugh and laugh and laugh when I look at it.

We were hoping she would change her opinion about grass this year.
The following is what happened when Tyrel tried to find out {make sure your sound is on}:


Maybe next summer.
