Desirae: Who is my oldest, thankful for her organizational skills. She keeps our family cemented together (guess that comes from being the oldest) she is very energetic, always doing or making something. She is a wonderful wife and mother of 4. (and she lives to far away)
Brittany: Who falls second in command, she is right there with Desirae in keeping the family together (as much as we can be, when we are spread out.) Thankful for her fun spirited personality, fun to have around. Very concerned about family members. She to is a wonderful wife and mother of 2.
Danette: Third in line or as it stands the Middle Child. Thankful for her easy going personality. She has been my quietest, still is. She has always been the peacemaker. She has always been my most practical child. She is very talented in many ways. She is a wonderful wife and mother of 2 as well. (and she lives to far away.)
Daniel: Fourth in the line up and only BOY. Right now I am very Thankful for the man he is becoming. He as well has a very fun spirited personality, always making people laugh. That is the one thing his sisters hated the most, that when they were mad at him he would make them laugh and then they would be even more mad at him because he made them laugh. Can't wait.... 5 1/2 months til he is home.
Sharise: My fifth and last or in other words my BABY:) I am thankful for her love and concern for me. She knows that I have a hard time with knowing, that dreaded empty nest is coming way to fast and she is always concerned about me. It has been very different for her growing up in a emptier house than the older girls, but she has fared well.
Last but not least, I am thankful for my wonderful husband, who is very patient with me. He has always been the provider for this family so that I could stay home with the kids as they grew and I am thankful for that. He has worked very hard for his family. He is a great DAD! He also has that fun spirited personality (except for when playing games and he is not winning) We have had 32 1/2 great years together and intend on having many many more!!!!!!!!
I LOVE YOU ALL and I pray that you will continue to be patient with me as I continually learn to be a better wife and mother and grandmother which I am in training for right now. (I figure if I don't have the mother thing down I am probably to late.)

AHH how sweet! Thanks mom! I am thankful to have such a wonderful mom to show me how to love, have fun, and be a great person. I know I can speak for all of us when I say we are who we are because of you and dad!
I had to delete because I had a spelling error.
Thanks, Mommy! You did do a pretty good job at the mothering thing or we all wouldn't have turned out so well! I'm sorry that we all live too far away. We need to use the web cams more often! Love you and I am thankful for you and dad and all of the sacrifices you have made in your life for our family. (ex. living in a trailer with 3 little girls?!? Not fun for you, I'm sure!)
Love you XOXOXO
