I love the tylenol and ibuprofen..mix that with Diet Coke! That reminded me of the pill scene at The Cheesecake Factory. Do you remember that?
I remember that...that was so funny!
I love reading thankful posts.
Doesn't it feel good to sit down and think about all the little things we have to be grateful for? I didn't think it was boring at all.
I loved hearing your LOVES , and since you love comments, I'll keep commenting instead of stalking!!
Your right- that was boring. J/K. I'm afraid diet coke would have been listed a few times on my 'thankful' list.
My sister-in-law takes a picture of something she is thankful for each week and puts it on her blog. It's a fun idea. Anyways, love ya.
Oh yeah, trust me -- epidurals are such a nice thing! Having enjoyed one for Ellie and Nate, I felt so lucky until Sadie came along and I missed out.
I want to read your list but I want to do it too one day but I think if I read yours I'll just end up having most of your same stuff. I'll read it after I do mine. Fun idea!
It's so great to remember all the things you are thankful for, love the pictures of your cute kids, they are so cute and big. JJ
katie i got all teary eyed. i just loved that. and it's true we haver so much go be greatful for! i might have to copy you i just loved that!!
That was such a cute idea to post 100 things you are thankful for!! Dont be surprised if I copy you here shortly! Say hi to rizzle for me! :)
Katie
I love that I idea and I want to copy you. It always makes you feel better when you count your blessings. I loved all of yours and I am thankful for most of the same things. I love you guys and miss you so much and I can't wait until you guys move back. You are the best!!!!!!!
Great list Katie. I love Tyson's "Gells" and "Belly". I definitely heard his voice coming through when you wrote that. I might have to copy that idea, too. About Twilight...have you heard of Moonlight? it's new series on Friday nights. So dumb, but based off the twilight series of a cop that's a vampire that tries to help people instead of bite them. so dumb, but I admit I do sneak a peek once in a while to get my vampire fix. You sound like you could use you're vampire fix too;)
you're so cute, I can't wait until you guys live here again.
I read it! I feel like I need to go add some to my list now. It was fun to read. It looks like we love a lot of the same stuff. It was fun. Thanks for the idea!
Katie this post is a little late I know but I enjoyed reading your 100 things you are thankful for. I think everyone should do this once a year. Cute family too! Katie what a good mom you are you do seem to enjoy it. And about your 15 lbs remember who put it there and how worth it he is. I told Betsy this you need to watch the show How to look good naked! Anyway you always look good when ever I have seen you!! Have a fun winter!!
