30 days of Thanksgiving - Thankful Posts 2011

1-Today, I am thankful for this 30 day challenge. There is so much negativity around me that it is easy to forget the good that surrounds me too. I am thankful for this opportunity to spend the next 30 days looking at all the blessings in my life-to bring me peace and happiness-and to help me realize what is important and what can be done without. ♥

2-Today, I am thankful for my children's different personalities. They are all so unique and bring something special to our family. Each one teaches me something new and they never fail to bring a smile to my face. ♥

3-Today I am thankful for the toy set I found for $5 at the thrift store months ago for Harrison that has already inspired playtime for an hour this morning.

4-Today I am thankful for my awesome kids. They bring me so much happiness everyday and I enjoy just sitting and talking to them. I value our closeness and love our time together. They teach me just as I teach them-and have proven to me that yes, you can be a parent AND a friend


5-Today, I am thankful for my "baby" boy Harrison who is 4 years old today! It was a shock when I found out I pregnant with him, and I was hesitant at first-but couldn't imagine my life without him now! Through his tics and quirks I have learned even more patience, love and acceptance. Happy Birthday Harrison Parker Gibbons!!!


6-Today I am thankful for modern medicine. I don't use it very often, but I am glad it is there when I need it.


7-Today I am thankful for a moment of peace


8-Today, in honor of Dad Land, I am thankful for the Order of DeMolay. I am thankful for the chance to work with these wonderful young men. I am thankful that my son Conner-as Master Councilor -has had a chance to lead and grow this year. I am thankful for DeMolay's teachings and for the friendships and precepts that Conner and Noah both have learned. The teachings are wonderful and it has been an awesome opportunity to be involved with them.


9-Today I am thankful for cable tv. It has kept Harrison occupied (mostly) this morning and I needed to just sit on the couch and rest. I can feel guilty about it later! HAHA


10-Today, I am thankful for friends, for Danny and Bear who are trying to fix our car. I am thankful to know mechanics that I can trust to not steer me wrong. Thank you Dan Sager and Bear!!!!


11- facebook ate it

12-Today, I am thankful for my family. For my husband who I know will always be there for me. I am thankful for our great relationship and for the way he treats me and looks out for me always. I am thankful for my 7 kids and the love and light they bring to my life.


13-Today I am thankful for the roof over my head, the food in my fridge and the heat in my home. I know sometimes things get very overwhelming and I wonder what else can go wrong, and then I have to remember that at least we have the basic necessities above that so many do not have. ♥


14-disappeared off my page

15-Today, I am thankful for my yarn stash. Being able to go in and KNOW I will have a skein of yarn for my project is something I'd not want to be without! YAY for yarn and being able to knit my son a hat when he needs one!


16-Today, I am thankful for Isabella and her excitement at school. She is doing wonderful things in the gifted program that keep her occupied more during the day. Tomorrow is her Thanksgiving feast and I cannot wait to go surprise her by showing up! ♥


17-Today, I am thankful for my unending patience. It serves me well.


18-Today, I am thankful for Thanksgiving break! All the kids are home starting today..(even though the oldest 2 are only home today because they are sick!!) But I am thankful they are home. I love spending time with them and miss them when they are at school. And I am thankful that Harrison has someone to play with and keep him occupied so I can get some cleaning done!


19-just the way I wanted to wake up....the sound of feet running across the floor...followed by puking ugh. .......Today, I am thankful that she made it to the garbage can.


20-Today, I am thankful that our car is running!!!! YES!!!! It did turn out to be the computer "brain" of the car, and our awesome mechanic fixed it and we picked it up today! WOOT!!!!


21-Today, I am thankful for steroids-and my ability to breathe a little easier with their usage!


22-Today (a little late in the day!) I am thankful for the wonderful friends that my kids have! I am thankful for the wonderful organizations (DeMolay and Job's Daughters) that have brought those friends into our lives!


23-Today, I am thankful for my brothers life. It was 3 years ago today that I got the call that he had a serious car accident and had been found 6 hours after he had been ejected from his car. His body core temp was dangerously low, but ended up being the thing that saved him as it slowed the bleeding in his brain. Life flight could not transport due to weather. He was in the ICU for many days in a coma. His hospital stay ended up being almost 2 months. He has a traumatic brain injury. They said he would NEVER ride a horse or rodeo again. He proved them wrong. He's a little different, but still my goofy baby brother, and I am so thankful he is alive and with us still.


24-Regardless of how this holiday came about, I am thankful for this day--and the chance to spend it with my husband and children (and friends!!). And I am very thankful that Shawn took over the cooking of the meal since I am still not close to being 100% yet! Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends and family!


25-no idea where this one went!

26-Today, I am thankful for my creative nature. My love of color. My ability to take yarn and make it beautiful by adding colors. My (limited) ability to take a piece of fabric and make what I want or need. My artistic nature helps me to see the world in different ways. I wouldn't be the same without it.


27-Today, I am thankful for my little boy...and his world that I am the center of. ♥


28-Today, I am thankful for a friend-who helped me out when I needed it. ♥


29-Today, I am thankful for the ability to speak my mind and to not have my opinions repressed by the country we live in. I am thankful for a President, who right or wrong, works to run our country. I am thankful for the freedoms we enjoy and the luxuries we have. And I wish that everyone had those same benefits.

30-Today, I am thankful for the 30 days of Thanksgiving. I am thankful for all of my friends that stuck it out the whole month with me! I am thankful for the gratitude they shared, and what I learned from their posts. I am thankful for how this challenge has once again touched my life. I hope everyone joins me again next year!

30 days of Thanksgiving-2009

So I found my old posts (almost all of them anyway) from 2009, the first year I did this.  Sharing them now!

10

Today I am thankful for my good friends. You know who you are. I appreciate you and value our friendships

11

Today, I am thankful that i do not have cancer. I am thankful for my family and friends that stood by me the last 2 months-the ones that called and wrote and offered there support and love. I am thankful that life is returning to normal and look forward to the day that this is a distant memory. I am thankful that I do not have to worry about still being here for my husband and children. I am thankful for my LIFE

12

Today, I am thankful for my artistic nature. My creativity is the one talent I possess and I couldn't ask for a better one. I love sharpies and doodling. Knitting is a passion and sewing a bit less-but still there. I love color. To dye yarn is the ultimate expression of my love of color and art. I would be lost without my creativity

13

Today, I am thankful for a roof over my head, food in our cupboards, dh's employment and clothing for us all. So many do not even have these basic needs

14

late in the day--Today I am thankful for the church's teachings of eternal family. For the solace and peace that it brings to those mourning the passing of a loved one. Especially today for Jessica and the loss of her love Jason. Peace and love to you sweet cousin

15

"Today, I am thankful for the good nights sleep I had. I have not slept so long or so well in a long time

16

Today I am thankful for my son with aspergers. He has taught me so much about love and has brought to me the appreciation for the simpleness of a hug or an "I love you"

17

Today, I am thankful for homeschooling Kaitlyn. We have enjoyed our time together so much, and I would not have that if she were sitting in school all day. I love my daughter. ♥

18

Today, I am thankful for my fabric stash. It is serving me well today.

19

Today, I am thankful that I get to go out with my 2 oldest kids tonight to the movies. Thankful that they are good kids that I enjoy being around. We have a great relationship and I couldn't ask for better children

20

today I am thankful for knitting. To be able to take some yarn and needles and create a beautiful handcrafted piece of clothing is a wonderful feeling. Each stitch is filled with love-except those that get messed up and have a few snarly words involved too!

21

Today, i am thankful for my local group of girlfriends. Looking forward to our day of crafting together

22

Today, I am thankful for the Food Network. No really. I know it is silly-but growing up and not learning to cook, well--the food network inspires me and teaches me to cook more great foods!

23

Today, I am thankful that my brother is alive. It has been one year today since his car accident and subsequent 2 months in the hospital. He shouldn't have made it. he shouldn't be doing so well with his brain injury. But he is. He is working, he is engaged, he is living!

24

Today, I am thankful that I will have my children home for 5 days. I miss seeing them so much ♥

25

Today I am thankful for the moments I have with the kids today-preparing our holiday dinner together and making christmas presents for swaps. ♥

26

Today I am thankful for the life I am living. I have a wonderful husband who is there through thick and think. Great kids who teach me something new every day and show me how much love one person can have. I have caring friends who are there when I am down to lift me up, and to laugh with through the good. We have what we need, and I thankful for that. Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends and loved ones!"

30 days of Thanksgiving 2011

30 days of Thanksgiving starts today!  What is 30 days of Thanksgiving?  Everyday you post one thing that you are thankful for.  It can be big or small.  What matters is that it is important to YOU.   Myself, I post it everyday on facebook, and then compile them all here in one post at the end of the month (last years post).  You can do it whatever way you wish, but the purpose it to just recognize all the things we are thankful for that we don't think about.  There is so much negativity in the world.  Lets focus on the positive!

I started this 3 years ago.    Last year a few friends joined in.  This year there are even more! I hope that you will join me for the 30 days of Thanksgiving too!  You won't regret it!

If you take the challenge, post a comment and link me to your blog, twitter, wherever you are posting so I can keep up!

The simple things

that make your day


and a CHRISTMAS water cup!! (perfect timing since my other broke)

 Pretty yarn

 and a beautiful and extremely happy girl-who doesn't care what other people think! LOL

Hope your Thursday is a great one!

Pumpkin Chili-details

Yesterday I saw that the weather today was going to be cold and rainy.  I LOVE IT!  So I decided a nice warm comforting meal was in order for the menu tonight.
Yes, it is autumn...so what could be better than pumpkin chili?!!!

Adapted from this recipe

I added 1lb extra hamburger, a 64 oz container of v-8, extra spices and beans and did a whole can of pumpkin instead of half.

So kind of funny,  I went to the store to get bell pepper and onion because somehow I was actually out! *gasp*

While there I realized no cans of beans - well they wanted $1.50 for 1 can of beans!  yes, so at 1am I was starting a pot of beans last night.

Then today, I realized, no pumpkin pie spice! LOL  so I made some up from this recipe here

the only thing not from scratch was canned tomatoes and the canned pumpkin...maybe next time I should remedy that!

Looks great and smells divine!  I can't wait to taste it.

Brown 3 lbs hamburger

Add 2 Tbsp of Pumpkin Pie spice...I made my own

Place hamburger and 1lb cooked beans in your pot/crockpot depending on your method of cooking

Add 2 cans diced tomatoes, or more if desired. and 1 1/2-2 Tbsp Chili powder

1 29oz can of pumpkin puree and 1/2 cup sugar

Sautee 2 green bell peppers and 2 onions

Add to mixture

64oz of V-8 or other vegetable juice

Cook/simmer on stove top for 1 hour

or 8 hours on low in the crockpo

cool days makes me long

for a sweater!  I wonder how many years it will take me to actually knit myself a sweater.  or a cardigan.  or something wooly just for me!  I always knit for everyone else, but I tell you, the thought of a sweater for myself is daunting.

The days are turning cool-wonderful days for curling up on the couch with my down comforter and book.  cool days that bring big pots of chicken noodle soup for the family (yes, with joyous cries of excitement!!)  this is truly my favorite time of year, and I hate how quickly each day passes.  why can't it be October for 2 months or more? lol

things are crazy it seems.  7 kids means everything is insane.  Kaitlyn started highschool this year and it is weird having 2 of them there! Next year Noah will start.  And the fees for highschool are insane! Holy cow!  Even just to be in men's choir cost Conner $75 on top of supplies.

Speaking of Conner, he gave his first speech as a DeMolay state officer a few weeks ago.  He did a great job!  I was so proud of him. 

Homecoming 2011- Conner and Tiffany!

Homecoming 2011-Kaitlyn and Will

Kaitlyn and Conner

Speaking of Conner, I forgot to mention-he broke his arm in July.  And not just a break, he broke it good!  Was going down hill on a little razor scooter, got going too fast (paramedics estimate about 30 mph) lost control and fell forward.  His arm snapped on impact, then his head hit and he was knocked unconscious.  They said it was good his arm hit first or he might not have made it with the impact to his head-  He had a compound break of both arms in his bone and had to have surgery.  2 plates were put in his arm and he was in the hospital for several days.  Here are his incision and the area where the bone broke through the skin.

pretty gnarly scars he has now! 

Summer time....

It seems like June went by in a blur--the girls had Grand Session for Job's Daughters in Pocatello....if you don't know what that is...hundreds of teen girls, hormones, drama....nah! LOL  it wasn't that bad!  Our Bethel did an awesome job this year and we had a lot of fun!  They compete in their ritual work, music, dance etc.  Kaitlyn placed in black and white photography for a photo she did of Harrison.  And Hannah did AWESOME on her novice competition and only missed 4 points total!  that is HUGE....I am so proud of her.

Kaitlyn was drawn as Idaho Grand Bethel Representative to the Philippines.  Here she is with her medallion:

We all had a great time and their bonds of sisterhood were greatly increased!

Conner was appointed the Idaho State Junior Councilor for DeMolay,  and I can see busy times ahead of us! LOL

Noah had his surgery, he had over a 50% occlusion of his throat.  He is doing well now-we have his follow up next week.

I am looking forward to some down time with the family...only 2 months and they will be back in school-and yes the time is flying by faster than I can keep up with!

Hannah, the night of the Miss Idaho Job's Daughter Pageant

someone let the crazy in!

It seems like the last few months have passed by in a whirlwind of "crazy time"
I can remember bits and pieces..like in snapshots of time.  but not the whole picture.    Between Jobies, DeMolay and other Masonic stuff, we have been insanely busy-especially when you just add in life in general.

I couldn't even begin to do it justice as a recap, so I will share a few pictures and a few hi-lights to get caught up!

Conner and Noah attended DeMolay Conclave this year in April.  This is a statewide event for DeMolay.  Conner was awarded the hugest honor:  DeMolay of the YEAR!!!  Out of all the boys in Idaho, he was chosen.  Here is a newstory on it:
Local Youth Wins Idaho DeMolay of the Year

I cried.  Shawn cried.  Conner cried.  Sweethearts and boys from his chapter, along with other parents in the room cried.  He was so humbled, shocked, and appreciative.

Other things I can remember:  kaitlyn was elected Guide in Jobies.  The installation of officers is May 21 at 2pm.  Noah's surgery was delayed, but we will be getting it soon. 

Other than that, i leave you with photos....

VOTE! Cupcakes for a good cause!

So I am sure you have seen me mention baking pumpkin muffins on my blog.  That wonderful recipe is courtesy of my friends Sandi!  They are seriously to die for and we look forward to them every year-and yes, they are devoured in minutes!

Well, Sandi has done it again!  She created this cupcake for a contest to benefit the American Heart Association.  Not only is it gorgeous and sound divine-but it is also GLUTEN FREE!  Yes, this is a huge deal! Yummy gluten free baked items are really hard to fine...and yet, she created it!

This is a personal mission for Sandi.  Her grandfather died at the age of just 54 from heart disease.  This had a big impact on her-and winning the contest means a donation in her grandfathers name.

Can you help?

Every 24 hours you can vote-no log on or registration required...just go out, click vote, and you are done.

Do it for the cupcake lady.  Do it for a great cause.  Or just do it because you want to be nice-but DO IT!

My annual list

So Shawn has been bugging me like crazy the last few days to make my list.  Not that I really want him buying me anything this year...but if it will make him be quiet, I will post! LOL

So here is my annual wish list....

Target makeup brush set (hard white case, $19.99-only in stores)

a new makeup bag-like what I have now but in different colors

MAC makeup gift card


a pretty scarf to go with my aqua hat

30 days of Thanksgiving

 

Last year, I did 30 days of Thanksgiving throughout the month of November on Facebook.  Every day I would post something, no matter how small , that I was thankful for.

It's November 1st which means the start of my "I am thankful" month of posts....  I will copy them all here and post this on the last day of November.

1st: Today, I am thankful for Harrison's sweet toddler boy kisses....they can always bring a smile to my face, even on the most rotten of days.

2nd: Today, I am thankful for my spouse who loves me and treats me well. I know I can always count on him to support me in my decisions and lift me up when I am down. He is a good person that is honest, devoted, loving and fun. He is my friend, my love, my life

3rd: Today, I am thankful for the right to have my own thoughts pertaining to
our government and country-and for the ability to express them freely
without fear of reprisal. Some people do not even have that.

4th: Today I am thankful that I can be there for a friend in her time of need.

5th: Today, I am thankful for Harrison. He came into this world 3 years ago today-a surprise pregnancy that at first was very hard for me to accept. He has brought me so much joy, love and smiles-and I am forever grateful for him. Happy Birthday Harrison!

6th: Today I am thankful for my amazing kids. They bring me so much happiness and I enjoy just being with them. I consider them not only my children, but my friends and I value our closeness and love our time together. They teach me something new everyday

7th: Today, I am thankful for my friends. I know they are always there for me-to lend a hand or a listening ear...or to just have fun with. They are the best!

8th: Today I am thankful for the house in which we live....the heat that keeps us warm, the clothes on our back and the food in our cabinets. Such simple things that we take for granted each day-but makes a big difference in our lives.

9th: Today, I am thankful for the doctor's office that is less than a mile away from my house. We have been there so much in the last few weeks-and I am glad that the medical care was accessible and easy to get to.

10th: Today, I am thankful for insurance that saved me over $450 the last few weeks on prescriptions.

11th: Today, I am thankful for my knitting skills. Not only is it awesome to be able to create beautiful and practical projects-but it is also helps me keep my sanity and brings me a lot of peace and satisfaction....as long as I am not tempted to poke someone with a needle when I am ticked!

12th: Today, I am thankful for Univ. of Idaho's decision to bring their law school down to Boise. It gives me better access to get my law degree-and means that I can be a true "divided" fan with my bachelor's coming from Boise State!

13th: Today I am thankful for a good head on my shoulders. For the ability to learn, to grown, to think clearly and make good decisions.

14th: Today, I am thankful for my yarn, fiber and fabric stashes! They keep me well stocked when I need to do a craft ♥

15th: Today, I am thankful for my bathroom being so close to my bedroom-it means I have a smaller area to run when I have to throw up. And I am thankful for my dd who is keeping an eye on the boy for me

16th: Today, I am thankful for an awesome mother who taught me so much growing up...how to love, how to be a good friend and most of all..taught me how I wanted to be a mother to my own children. I love you mom. ♥

17th: Today, I am thankful for my professors that give extra time outside of regular classes to do online classes as well. Without them, I wouldn't be finishing my education right now

18th: Today, I am thankful for the Job's Daughters. It has already taught
Kaitlyn so much. Her self confidence has grown tremendously, she had
made WONDERFUL friends and learned a lot about herself. We have a wonderful bethel of girls-and I love them and appreciate them all so much!

19th: Today, I am thankful that the kids Thanksgiving break started today! I am excited to have a week to spend with them! ♥

20th: Today, I am thankful for the eye doctor. I cannot imagine life for me or those who have worse vision than ME if we didn't have this ability to correct our vision problems!

21st: It's one of those days where I am finding it hard to do a thankful post. So I will just say that I am thankful for my life, and those that I have in it.

22nd: Today, I am thankful for the 99.5 on my final in my computer.most.hideous.horrible.boring.time consuming.ever class! I am so glad that class is OVER!

23rd: Today, I am thankful for the great messages learned while watching the holiday cartoons. Service to others and gratitude for what we have. It is a wonderful lesson for all to hear.

24th: Today I am thankful for my son with aspergers. He has taught me so much about love and has brought to me the appreciation for the simpleness of a hug or an "I love you" ♥

25th: Today, I am thankful for my large family-there is always someone to hug, always someone to talk to and share with, and a whole lot of love, fun and craziness going on in my home. I wouldn't have it any other way. ♥
Happy Thanksgiving to all of my family and friends. I hope your day is filled with family, love, thanks and peace.

26th: Today, I am thankful for my level of patience. :-D

27th: Today, I am thankful for all the wonderful Jobies and DeMolay kids that are in my life.  The girls are like my other daughters. They are crazy and loving and fun and such a joy to be around. They teach me a lot. The boys are fun and rambunctious and a great thing to have around my serious boys!
So today, I am thankful for GREAT kids! ♥

28th: Today, I am thankful for books. Reading is an integral part of my life. It helps me to learn, to imagine, to relax. I am thankful for the writers that come up with the story lines and for the ability to print those stories on paper and to be available for purchase. I LOVE BOOKS!

29th: Today I am thankful for my creativity. I am an artistic thinker and I love that it inspires me in color, design and creation.

30th: Last day of my 30 days of Thanksgiving posts. Today, I am thankful for all my wonderful friends that joined me in this challenge. I am thankful for the experience and what it has taught me. I am thankful for the reminders of what is important in life. So, I am thankful for my friends, my family, my life. I hope my friends will join me again next year ♥

Frozen

Wow - the weather has just been insane!  First, the summer started really late, with cold rainy days into JULY!  Then the summer was short and it seemed like September was more cold than it was warm.  October busts out with WARM days!  Halloween comes around and it is the warmest on record for awhile..and then BOOM.  Ice cold.  I swear it was the next day!  It feels so cold outside that I feel like just staying in all the time so I don't have to go out in it! LOL
Halloween was fun this year.  Shawn and I actually dressed up and went to a friends halloween party.  the kids got to go trick or treating in their neighborhood while we visited.
November marks the start of the craft show season!  Stacy and I had our annual spree together where we hit a ton of them in one day.  Didn't really buy much (no money! LOL) but the point of it was to have fun, which we did.

I am busy with working on handmade gifts for the kids and for swaps - this is one of my most favorite times of the year!


Kaitlyn passed her proficiency in Jobies!  I was so proud of her-she did an awesome job.  She amazes me so much.  Harrison just turned 3.  I cannot believe that much time has gone by.  It seriously just seems like yesterday that I was still pregnant with him

Enjoy your autumn season!! (it sure feels like winter here!)

What are you thankful for?

I feel like the pebble, thrown into the lake that makes a wave--the wave that filters further and further out to reach more around it.

Last year on facebook, I made November my month of gratefulness.  I posted a "today, I am thankful for...." post everyday.  It got hard at times to think of something that wasn't frivolous,  but I made it through and it helped me to appreciate even more the people in my life and the things that I have.

This year, I am doing it again.  When I posted today, I found that there were several friends that posted after me on their own page a thankful post!  A few even asked if they could copy me - to which I gladly said YES!  I want my friends to participate!  As they day has gone by, I have seen more and more people posting as the idea spreads and every post brings a smile to my face as I realize that I helped them to do this!

...I hope they enjoy it and learn as much from it as I did!  Will you join us too?  30 days of thankfulness!  I challenge you to do it!

A New Imagination Mover

couldn't resist.....enjoy! LOL

New food blog

Hey friends!!! Since posting about food on this blog seems to be all I do now a days...we decided to start a new food blog so I can get back to posting regular stuff here! Come check it out:

Our Big Green Table

Breast Cancer Awareness

A year ago we went through a breast cancer scare due to an abnormal rash on my breast that they could not figure out. I was 34, a mother to 7 kids and I was scared.

I underwent a large biopsy on my breast where they took off a chunk of skin on my areola. It was painful. It was emotional. It was something I never want to go through again.

I had a huge outpouring of support from friends. Phone calls and hugs and messages that meant so much to me and helped get me through this as I felt like my world was falling apart. Every day I woke up, afraid to get the phone call that said “you have cancer” – I constantly thought “what if?” and “why?”

Thankfully, it came back negative a week later. But for those 2 weeks – I lived in hell. I thought I was going to die. I thought I was going to leave my children alone on this earth without their mother to be here for them. To hug them and kiss them and guide them and tell them how much I love them every day. I suffered, a lot of times in silence because I knew that my husband didn’t know what to say. What can he say? It will be ok? It won’t be ok. I could have cancer. I could lose my breast. It could spread. I could die. There are just no words that can make anything ok at that point.

Women, get your mammograms and do your breast checks, and if you don’t know how to do it-FIND OUT! Women should not have to go through this. NOBODY should have to go through these emotions and this pain and fear and worry. This month is breast cancer awareness month. If you want to do something to raise awareness-talk about it! If you have a story, please share it with others! THIS is what helps bring awareness all around. Spread the word. Share your story. Be a friend. Share. Care.
