This past week I am thankful for my beautiful children, the fact that we have a van that works, my hard-working husband. I am also thankful for the wonderful weather, the fact that I have an internal filter on my mouth so I don't say the things to people that I would often like to say.
I'm thankful for the opportunity to drive over to the coast with my mom to go pick up my aunt - I'm thankful for the safe journey and the fact we were able to stop and visit with my sister's family both coming and going.
I am thankful that I have three weeks of nothing until school starts back up again - and I'm thankful that I should not have to ever take another online class again.

Day 203
Today I am glad that I am almost done with my online classes. Tomorrow marks the first day of my last week and I am so happy! It is going to be so nice to have three whole weeks off before school starts up again. I have so much stuff I need to get organized around here and I'm hoping I can do that in my time off. I don't like that I have to write a 4-5 page paper this week, but thankfully I've been able to get a lot of my other assignment already done for the week, so I don't have too much else to work on. T - 7 days until my official summer break finally begins!

Days 201 & 202
Yesterday I was thankful for the uneventful day. I was also thankful that we have such an amazing insurance company. They have always been so helpful and so nice and I know that we are in good hands with them. (No, we don't have Allstate - haha)
Today I am thankful for my babies. I know I've said it before, but with all the time I get to spend with them lately, I am so amazed at how much and how fast they are growing. Donovan has such an imagination and just talks up a storm! Now I know what it was like for my mom when I was little! I try my best to always listen to him, but he talks so much it's hard to sometimes. As long as he thinks I'm listening I think we'll be fine. I love my little chatterbox!
Giovanni is turning into the funniest, most beautiful little boy. Yes, he still throws his fits and he thinks it's funny when I get mad, but he also says "Sorry, Mommy" all the time, too. He is so cute when he asks for things and I think he has the most beautiful big eyes! I love my monkey!
Adelin is growing so much and saying new words all the time. She has this stuffed bear that we found in my mom's basement and she loves it! She sleeps with it and has to take it upstairs with her every morning. She cuddles it and pats its back - so cute. She likes to go into the bathroom and sit down on the little potty chair, over and over and over, BUT she will not sit on it without her diaper on. I think it freaks her out that if she sits down all the way, her feet don't touch the floor. She is such a cutie pie and such a momma's girl. I love cuddling with her and listening to her little voice. I love my sweetheart!
I have to say, that even on days when we all go a little stir-crazy sitting at home, I still am blown away by how amazing my children are. I may be a tiny bit biased, but I think I have the most beautiful, most intelligent babies ever. I love them will all my heart, and am excited to see the people they will grow up to be.

Days 199 & 200
Yesterday I was thankful for the day spent at home. Sometimes it is just nice to sit around and do nothing and yesterday was one of those days. Yay for lazy days.
Today I am thankful that no one was hurt in our action packed evening. We had quite some goings on here, and thankfully other than Alfredo's car, everyone else was fine. I am thankful for Pasco's finest for being so fast in their response time. Hopefully they'll catch the guy who is responsible for our newly wrecked car. :) Talk about some excitement.

Days 194, 195, 196, 197 & 198
This past weekend, the kids and I went up to Othello to visit family. My sister, her husband and their new baby were coming over to visit and so we went up to see them and then we all went over to my other sister's house for a barbecue. I am so thankful that I got the opportunity to visit with my family. We didn't always get along so great when we were growing up, so it is especially nice now to be able to hang out and just enjoy each other's company. I'm also thankful that my kids were able to make a new friend in my niece's daughter. After just a minute of some apprehension, they all got along wonderfully. I love watching my kids get along with others. It makes me happy to see them playing well together. All in all, I love my family and I am thankful that we got to spend some time together this weekend.

Days 191, 192 & 193
On Tuesday, Alfredo, Martin, the kids and I went to one of the parks nearby to go swimming in the river. I am thankful that we were able to get out and have fun. I'm also thankful that all three of my kids loved the water - even if Adelin was a little bit apprehensive at times. We had so much fun and I'm so happy we all got to spend some time together.
Yesterday, was Alfredo's day off again and I am so happy that we got to just stay at home and relax. It is nice to be able to have some quiet time just enjoying hanging out with him, and I know the kids loved having the day with him too. He works so hard to take care of us, and I am so thankful of the time he gets to spend at home with us.
I know today is still early, but I am thankful today for my amazing children. Sometimes I just look at them and am so overwhelmed at the beautiful little people they are. I don't know what I did to deserve my three little angels, but I am so grateful that I was chosen to be their mommy. I love being able to watch them learn, play and interact with each other. I love hearing them talk and laugh. My heart is so full of love for them and I try everyday to become a better person and mother for them. They are my world, and I would do anything to protect them and keep them safe.
And on another note, I'm also thankful that my friend Sarah is coming over to visit today. It has been weeks it seems of us trying to get together but for one reason or another, it just hasn't worked out. I'm glad she is finally able to come over and spend some time with us. Yay!

Days 184, 185, 186, 187, 188, 189 & 190
Summertime has got me slacking on my blog. Oh well, what are you going to do? So, since I have a lot of days to be thankful for, I will keep this as concise as I can.
First of all, I'm go thankful we got to go meet the newest member of our family: my baby sister's baby, Lucy Elizabeth. She is tiny, sweet, precious and looks just like her daddy! I'm glad Alfredo, the kids and I were able to make the trip over and back safely to get to meet her. I can't wait to see her again!
I'm also thankful for the wonderful Fourth of July we got to spend with family. Alfredo's family all came over to the house and we just hung out and ate food. It was delicious, and nice to sit and relax and visit with everyone!
These past few days I am also very thankful for the basic things that I often take for granted: we have a van and a car that works, we have three beautiful and healthy children, we have a roof over our heads to shelter us and help keep us cool, we have a yard for the kids to play in, and I have a computer to do my homework on while keeping and eye on the kids.
I am truly so thankful for everything that I have been blessed with. I know sometimes I focus only on what I don't have and lose sight of all the amazing things that I have in my life. I really am a very blessed person and I am still striving to be more mindful of what I have and to express my thanfulness and gratitude for all that I have.

Day 183
Today I am thankful that my kids didn't make me want to lock myself in the closet like I wanted to do yesterday. They kept busy with a variety of activities, and I'm looking forward to our trip to meet my new niece tomorrow. Hopefully they will be behaving themselves tomorrow too. Lucy, you are in for a treat tomorrow! Brace yourself cause your crazy cousins are coming to visit!

Days 177, 178, 179, 180, 181 & 182
Well, once again I find myself falling behind. Now that it's summer time and I don't have a set schedule, it is harder for me to remember. I'm off my routine and it's throwing everything all wacky. Oh well. I guess I will just say that this week I am thankful for the beautiful weather, I'm thankful for my husband who works so hard for us, I'm thankful for my laptop so I can take online classes this summer, I'm thankful for our nice cool room at night, and I'm thankful for my family. Now hopefully I can get myself back on track. :)
