thanksgiving

This year thanksgiving was amazing.  It was so laid back, and nice.  We went to Bruces parents house and had a yummy dinner, then laid back and relaxed while the kids played.  I have so much to be thankful for.. I don't even know where to start.  I am so grateful for a loving Father in Heaven who knows me and loves me.  I am grateful for the relationship I have with him, that he is there when no one else is.. always listening.  I am grateful for the sacrifices made so that I can live with my family, and my best friend for eternity.  I am so grateful for my sweetheart.  I would be lost without my Bruce.  and I am grateful for my beautiful.. healthy.. happy kids.  Seriously, I am so blessed!!!

dance pictures

our little ballerina had dance pictures today.. and she looked AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  haha She has a hard time focusing during dance class, but loves getting in her dance clothes and her ballerina shoes.  She was super excited to take dance pictures too.

dinner with everyone

We actually got all the Riggs grandkids in a picture!! haha it isn't perfect, but its pretty awesome for 9 kids!  

I could watch my kids sleep all day.. and when I catch them in an adorable position I can't help but smile.. I just love these kiddos so much and I am so beyond grateful to be their mom!

Park day

Stacey, Katrina, Jessica and I all decided to take the kids to the park, and it was a lot of fun!  I love that my kids have cousins so close.. and I love all these kids like crazy!!!

Poppys surgery

Well poppy went into surgery today..  I am not going to lie.. I was scared.  So much could have gone wrong, and I just feel so grateful and blessed that he is still here with us today.  He lost his right eye.. his good eye..  but he is alive and here.  There are going to be lots of obstacles and some radiation.. but hopefully things go up from here :)
