{Thankful}

                                                 For each new morning with its light,
                                   For rest and shelter of the night,
                                          For health and food,
                                         For love and friends,
                                 For everything Thy goodness sends.

                                                 --Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

{I ♥♥♥}

I am have had such a full heart this month.  Maybe its the time of year with Thanksgiving coming up, but I have been thinking a whole lot about how blessed I am and how grateful for all of the wonderful things I have in my life.  The older I get, the more I realize how much it is the little things that count and making me the happiest.

Lily Pearl and her sweet little kisses.  She has started wanting to kiss everything and everyone.  Every dog we see, she does her kissy face.  I am overwhelmed by how much I love this little person.:)

My Jett and his bink and blankies. Yes, he is three and still has his bink at naptime and bedtime. (you can judge me, it's okay)  One thing that I have learned with having six kids, is that they grow up SO fast.  I used to be so crazy about when they did or didn't reach a milestone.  Now, I realize that they will be okay.  They are all different.  Jett will always be my little Jett bsgett forever.  He's a sweet one!

Lazy Saturdays in our sweats snuggling and goofing off.  Oh how I love the days where I am not rushing like a mad person!  I run so much, that is so nice to just chill and not have to be anywhere but with my little lovies.:)

Soft dresses and leggings.  I LOVE LOVE leggings!!!!  I love that they are comfy but still way cute.  I love this little dress I just got Punk at Old Navy.  What a little doll!

New designs in my Pearlie Girl shop!  I have been working on some new designs and are loving how they are turning out.  Check them out and let me know what you think!

Oh, yes and I love that I am going to Vegas on Friday with these ADORABLE girls!!!  My friend Jaclyn and I are taking our little dancers to the Pulse dance convention.  We are so excited!  I will miss my little ones so much, but it will be good for me to have a little break.  :)

Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

{Best Friends}

I talk to him when I'm lonesome like; and I'm sure he understands.  When he looks at me so attentively, and gently licks my hands; then he rubs his nose on my tailored clothes, but I never say naught thereat.  For the good Lord knows I can buy more clothes, but never a friend like that.  ~W. Dayton Wedgefarth

{Jetts ABC Book}

My little Jett is working on learning his letters and their sounds.  A couple of years ago, I made my Derek an ABC book and Jett is always taking his, so I decided to make Jett his own.  I picked a photo that I had taken that had the letter in it and added the letter and the word.

Jett LOVES looking at photos of himself, so this is perfect! :)

Here are a few of the pages that I did...

After I have put the pages together, I get them printed.  My pages are 6x6.  It is a great size for little hands.  After they are printed, I get them laminated and then punch 3 holes down the side.  I use those silver rings that look like the ones from binders to hold the pages together. 

I can't wait to get Jetts book printed, he will be so excited!!!

{Love This Little Ones Personality}
