Thankful for a Kayak?

I had a big surprise yesterday when a guy from the BYU Bookstore came into my office with a huge backpack. Turns out that backpack was really a kayak and it turns out that I had had really won it in a drawing! I'm grateful for fun surprises like my very own inflatable kayak. Now if only I had a large, indoor pool in the backyard where I could try it out.

before and after

Today - I'm grateful that there are people out there that know how to take this:

And turn it into this:

It almost makes me want to have a bbq. Almost.

gratitude - #3

I'm changing things up for November - instead of posting about things I'm grateful - I'm going to copy my sister and try and just do a picture of the day that signifies something that I (or we because this is a family blog even if Greg never posts on it) am thankful for.

My dad sent me this one - he and my mom are off visiting my brother and his family in California. I can't help it - my sister-in-law Haylee is pretty much wonder woman. And so is Ezra - just look at how tight he is hanging on to that grocery cart.

attitude of gratitude - day 2

It's that time of year - that time of year where the Carlklef blog declares how grateful it is for something. Everyday. Probably not everyday - but a lot. I am starting off with day 2 - since yesterday I was too busy being mad at the podiatrist to be grateful for anything.

Today I'm grateful that I don't have to teach my night class tonight. YAY! I cancelled it - I can do that since I have all that professorial power. Plans tonight? Probably go home, read some and then watch biggest loser while Rosscat is at scouts. Seriously - awesome.
