Thankful Thursday

All right here is another random thing I want to do on my blog when I think about it. You know along with Movie Monday, Wordless Wednesday, and Flashback Friday. It would be great if it happened every week but who am I kidding I have two kids and a lot of other things going on in life that I'll tell you about some other day.

Thankful Thursday is going to be a post where I let you know about something I am thankful for. It may have a story with it or it may just be a picture. Who knows. Our current missionaries encouraged us to study about gratitude and through my studies I realized I have a lot to be thankful for. Some really big things and some that may seem a lot smaller.

Today I am thankful for my friend Emily. She invited us over so Ben could torture her cat. No really, that is what she wanted him to do. She is expecting her first baby and wants the cat to be used to the abuse it will some day get. So what better kid to come over than my Ben. He did his job perfectly! As soon as we could get the cat out from hiding under the couch Ben began to hug the kitty as if it where his own. The kitten was very patient for a long time. Eventually he scratched and bit Ben and we knew our playdate was over. :0) Yep, that is the cat's tail in Ben's hand.
Thanks Emily for being a good friend and letting Ben have the time of his life with your poor little kitty. We can't wait to come back!
