Not so bad

So this year I turned 30 years old. Which is not as bad as I thought. Besides, now it does not seem so crazy to other people that I already have 5 kids.


I got lots of great gifts. Like...


a camp stove...


a pressure canner


and a camp grill/griddle.


As excited about those as I was I think this one is my favorite!!! Savannah heard me mention the day before that I wanted a stand of some kind to hold my recipe books and such. So she went to work!!! With the help of an amazing father, she made this.

I know I am so blessed to have such a wonderful family. Not just the ones in these pictures (which includes Blake, even though he is not in any of the pictures because he was behind the camera), but also the one I was born into, the one I married into, the ones that married my siblings, and the kids that they bring into this world. I AM SO BLESSED!!!
