Saturday!!

I am grateful for time with my mom! We were able to spend the morning together, driving around looking at how places change! It was so fun and the baby was sooooo good. I am also super grateful for Mommy time-out...a group of ladies got together to try out Slurp and I had a fabulous time!

Grateful for breaks!

Today my students and I went off-track! It is a much needed break! I have been feeling very overwhelmed with many different things in my life and I am excited to be able to breath for a moment and spend quality time with my sweet baby. I am super great for this but I am also grateful for my kindergarteners.

My Bed!!

OH! How I love my bed!!!!! It has been a long day of early morning with a confused baby (daylight savings is to blame) then school with a very tiring class and a night full of Parent-Teacher conferences. Hence the reason I am very thankful for my bed tonight.

Technology

Day 5 helps me be grateful for technology (I kind of want to break into song- "I love technology"). Today was a super rough day at school. I can tell that the children are ready to be off-track and I am getting ready for parent-teacher conferences. I just needed a little time to get all my projects finished with the children so I got out my Ipad and hooked up my Apple TV and we watched The Magic School Bus. WOW! I got so much done!!! Now I feel a little more organized and not so nervous about meeting with the parents.

Elder Johnson

Thankful for my big little brother.

Today I have been thinking a lot about my little brother, Brandon. He has been a missionary for less than a week and I am so proud of him. I am thankful for his example and for his love of the Gospel. He has always teased me by calling me "the Mormon" but he is now "the Mormon".
I love him and pray for him!

Boppa and Grammy

For day 3 of being thankful, I can't be more thankful for my parents. They have been wonderful examples to me. They both serve unconditionally and have raised us kids to do the same. Baby Lilly spends a lot of time with them and loves every minute! Thank you mom and dad! You are amazing!

My Baby!!

Day 2 of Gratitude! I am so grateful for a beautiful baby! She is such a good baby! Lilly Ann Fuhriman is now 3 1/2 months old and I already miss the newborn stage (except the waking up every 3 hours). She loves her daddy and singing with him. She loves the time she spends with Grammy and Boppa (our official babysitters) and will do anything Boppa asks (I get a little jealous). She is at the stage that would rather be facing outward, exploring the world and blowing bubbles. Sometimes I have to step back and do a reality check. I am a mom! I love it! To be honest though, it took me a little while to completely love it...hormones are the craziest things. Lilly has taught me quite a few things and I know she has quite a bit more to teach me! I am grateful that Heavenly Father trusts me with this precious spirit! She has changed my life!!

Her favorite new thing- take control of the remotes :)
