So many blessings!!

Hello Everyone! I have not been as dilligent at keeping up on my blog and my only excuse is that our camera broke. However, I did not want Thanksgiving to have come and left entirely without posting the things we are most grateful for. Christian helped me come up with the first five things on the list.

Tyson...What can we say? He is the biggest blessing in our lives right now. Thank you for all of your prayers and support as we have embarked on this new journey of parenting which we have loved!

Diapers...Although it sometimes seems as if the footies of his pajamas collect more poop than his diapers, we don't know what we'd do without them!

Onesies...They are pooped on, spit up on, and drooled all over and they still wash clean! Hooray for baby clothes!!

Bottles...This one I am sure Tyson is most grateful for! We are grateful too because it means we can leave him with a babysitter and go out every now and again.

Sleep...I never knew one could function on so little sleep! I also never knew what a difference a 20 minute nap can make!! As for being grateful, Tyson has been sleeping through the night for nearly a month now. We feel so lucky and blessed!


Our house...We are so blessed to live where we do. We feel safe, have friendly neighbors, and have so loved our house! Thank you to Dad Tengelsen for moving us out here and for Mom Francis in helping us to fix up our house. It feels so much more like a home now!

Washer and Dryer...Never knew we'd ever have so much laundry! It is so nice to be able to do it in our own house!

Dishwasher...This was the one thing our house in Texas was required to have. This is the first time Christian and I have ever had one and it is amazing!!

School loans and school...Christian and I both graduated from Brigham Young University with our bachelors this year. We feel so blessed to have been able to attend such a fine University and that Christian is now able to be in Dental School where he gets to do cool stuff like carve teeth and identify nerves.


The Sun...Texas may be hot in the summer, but it is 70 degrees in the winter and fabulous! We love living in such a beautiful world!


Snow...Here is a picture of Thanksgiving last year with our nieces! We had just finished sledding and it was perfect! We are so grateful for snow and are looking forward this year to a white Christmas in Montana.

Family...We feel so blessed to have families that we both love so much. We really couldn't make it without your love and support. Thank you so much!!


Friends...You have been our family away from home. Tyson has so many "Aunts" and "Uncles" that his real Aunts and Uncles don't know about. You have been such blessings in our lives so thank you! Our friends we left in Montana and Utah, we miss you so much! Thank you for making such an impact on our lives for good!


Christian...I don't know what I would do without Christian. He is such a serving and patient person. I love him more everyday and am amazed more and more that he chose to marry me. He is amazing and I love him so much!


The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints...We feel so blessed to know that God lives and that He speaks to His children on the earth today. We are grateful for prophets, the scriptures, and most of all for Jesus Christ. He is our Savior and friend. We are so grateful for prayer and revelation and are so excited to celebrate the birth of God's son this Christmas season! Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas! We love you all!!
