I just have one thought today....
I am so thankful for my family.
I am thankful for the fact that my parents taught me about the Gospel, read books to me, allowed me to flourish and participate in my own activities when I was a child, ingrained in us the importance of education; parents that stuck with me and loved me through my snotty teenage years and now continue to support me and teach me about being a better parent, wife, and sister.
I am thankful to have a beautiful and energetic sister. I am so thankful for the cute cousins that she has provided for my kids...they sure love their Kater-Bug and Baby Zacky :)
I am so thankful for my "little" brother. He is such a smarty pants and works so hard at school. He is such a great role model with working hard and persevering through school & I hope to be able to instill some of this in each of my children. Robby reminds me so much of Ben with his personality. Both of them have an engineering mind set and love to figure out how things work. They both can be show-offs as well :)
As I grow older and my little family has expanded, I have become more and more thankful for my family. I am grateful that I am able to share my life with them eternally. I am grateful for the love they show me unconditionally. And I am grateful for their love and kindness the offer to my kids.
{And I love how we can be goofy together!}
I am also thankful for my family: my kids and my husband. My kids are truly the highlight of my day. As much as they drive me crazy at times, they make everything I go through bearable. On my long, never ending stretches of nights that I go through on a weekly basis, I look forward to the precious moments when I can spend a few moments with each of my children. Such as :doing Maddie's hair, picking out outfits for each of the kids, snuggling with my Eli as I pull him straight out of bed, cooking breakfast, having Robby and Maddie run and meet me at the door with hugs & kisses, dropping Miss M off at preschool, and then of course kissing my Hubby at the doorway as he leaves for work.
Sure love them!

Hey Tiffany! It's Ruth (Gill) Manwaring. What a sweet post! You have a great family. And as you talked a little about your childhood, it had me thinking about when we were kids in gym together. I wanted to say thank you to you. You were such a sweet sweet girl and such a great example to me to want to me better, even in my stinker youthful days. Each little example I had in life enabled me to grow closer to what life is all about, so thank you Tiffany! You are awesome!
I also have to so that Jotham, my husband, talks often about the mom's who work as RN's during the night shifts. He talks about their hard work and sacrifice to work hard at night and still be there for their children by day. That is one hard feat, and you are amazing! ;)
Fun Family picture! Cute Kids!
Thanks for the sweet comments about our family. We love you guys!!
