Thankful List

Kell, Asher, & the Jellyfish. Kell can't keep his eyes off of them!

Well, bummer! No video of first roll over. It cut off right before. Oh well. I know it happened!

I saw this post on Facebook about a 2 minute challenge where you write out a list of the the things you are grateful for. I love it! I can get so caught up in what's going wrong or what I want to happen that I forget to be thankful for all the wonderful things that are right in front of me! I am going to get a journal and start my lists. I would love to say that I am going to do this daily but I'm not sure I could keep that up so I'm going to shoot for weekly.

Here's what I am thankful for today....

• 16 lbs. of wonderful who is napping peacefully in his car seat after dropping Asher off at day camp.
• Encompass day camps! Both the big boys are going to camps there this week and they are having SO much fun! Gray goes all day and Ash goes in the afternoon. It's been so fun having some time with Ash in the morning and then quiet time with Kell in the afternoon.
• Starbucks Gift Cards...nothing beats getting a free coffee! Thanks Jess for the birthday present!
• Jellyfish Craft that Asher loved making with me yesterday and they provided hours of entertainment for both Asher and Kell today. I made paper divers for Asher to have swim through the jellyfish and Kell watched their tentacles dance in the breeze of the fan.
• Kiddie Pools! Last night we bought the boys a big kiddie pool. I just finished filling it up this morning so it will be ready for the boys when they get home from camp this afternoon. My little water babies will be loving life in the heat this week!
• Grapes....not the kind you are thinking of. That's what the kids call Great Grandpa & Grandma Dolen. We had a lovely visit with them last night. Kell talked the Grapes ears off. We were so happy that they got to hear his little voice and see how much he's grown. The Grapes were thrilled to see him and the big boys. We're like a tornado ripping through their house but they love every minute of it!

Lots of Love,
Shelly

Rolling

We have a roller! Kell rolled over for the first time on his own today. He's spent the past week pushing against me to give him enough leverage to get all the way over. We have been eagerly awaiting this event and I can't tell you how thrilled we were that we actually go to see it with our own eyes! I think I may have even caught the whole thing on my phone. I haven't had a chance to look at it yet to see if I did or not. The big boys spent the weekend with Nan and came home today so we were busy catching up with them and playing in the yard. It was a gorgeous day today!

Type again soon!
Lots of Love,
Shelly

This isn't from today but I haven't had a chance to upload the new ones.
