Month of Gratitude Update

I have been really bad at posting each day. (Nearly all of my posts have been backdated) I'm not really sure if anybody really checks our blog very often, but if you have been anxiously awaiting my next post, I'm sorry. We have been really busy around here this last week.

I have been spending nearly all of my computer time (during nap time and when Adysen is content playing on her own) working on our website. I have to admit that I think it is looking really good! Almost all of our pictures are updated. We just have a couple of pages left to make some changes on and some cool new products to add! Now if we could just get a million sells (okay, not a million, we couldn't quite handle that kind of demand.) :)

My new plan is to get the posts ready to go early and have them post automatically in the morning. So, be looking for more regular daily posts. :)

Day 10 - Books

We are grateful to have books. I love to read! I am glad to see that Adysen is taking after me. Lately she has been playing more with her books than any other toys. She will turn the pages and gabber away. It is adorable. She also loves it when we read to her. We are so blessed!

Day 9 - Washer and Dryer

We are so grateful to have a washer and dryer in our apartment. It is nice to be able to work on the laundry during the day without having to go down to the laundry room. Adysen is a great helper. She really like to help me fold the clothes, and push the basket around the room.

Day 8 - Our Apartment

Our Apartment is perfect for us right now. It may not be the best but it is home.

Day 7 - Lunch at Grandma's

We were grateful to be able to spend some time with Great Grandpa and Grandma Smith on Saturday. We enjoyed visiting with them. Once again, we wish we would have taken more pictures.

Day 6 - Cocoa (Grandma's Dog)

This weekend we drove up to Idaho for Calene's Bridal Shower. We enjoyed spending time with our family. We wish we would have taken more pictures. However, we did get a few of Adysen and Cocoa. Adysen likes to watch him, but she still isn't sure what she thinks if he gets too close.

Day 5 - Leaves and Shoes

Today Adysen is grateful for the leaves. She is becoming quite the explorer. We had to walk out to the car to grab the camera. So, I decided to see if I could get Adysen to walk while holding my hand. She became very distracted by the leaves on the ground. She kept picking them up and then decided she would rather crawl. One of these days she will be able to walk on her own.

Adysen is also grateful for her shoes. She loves them! This morning she handed them to me when she was getting dressed. What a cutie. I also love that we got them for a great deal. We got them at one of my favorite stores, Kid to Kid. They have great prices on gently used clothing, shoes, and toys for kids. Perfect for babies that quickly outgrow everything. Also, I don't have to worry when the clothes get stained.

Day 4 - Our Business

We are very grateful for our family business - WireHomeDecor.com. We feel blessed to be able to make some extra money while Alton is in school. Alton has been so busy with school and work that he hasn't had time to update the website as much as we would like him to. So, I decided (with my limited knowledge of html) that I could do it. The last couple of days I have spent a lot of time editing photos and pages on the website. I am still learning about editing html and Alton has had to help me fix some spacing issues. However, I am very excited for all of the changes I was able to make on the site. We still have some editing to do, but hopefully by the end of next week our website will be completely updated and ready for the Christmas season. You will have to check back in a few days and see if you can spot my changes! Just kidding, you really don't have to...but I think it is going to look awesome when we finish getting our new photos on there.

Here are a couple of pictures we took over the weekend:

Day 3 - The Temple

We are grateful for the Temple and that families truly can be together forever. We are grateful that we were able to go to the Temple on Tuesday night. We are also grateful that we had friends to watch Adysen.

Day 2 - Chocolate Cake

I went to the grocery store to see if there were any good after Halloween sales. I found this cake for $2 at Dan's. Alton loves chocolate cake. We are grateful for the yummy cake. Adysen also loved it. This was her first experience with chocolate cake. She ate it right up!
