So grateful to be the mother of these four amazing kiddos! Being their mother has brought so much joy into my life. #givethanks. I agree each of our five daughters have brought great joy to our lives and the blessing of 20 grandkids! 
Love this quote- sincerely giving thanks to God unlocks the doors to Heaven.
Love our darling Noriega grandkids kids-
Aubrey, Cole, Austin and Jacob-
Today has been a challenging day for me- feeling anixity over the COVID-19 virus- this past two week has been crazy for us- started out with Craig’s best friend Mike and his wife diagnosed with the virus-Craig had just had lunch with him two days earlier when he called and said he wasn’t feeling well the day after their lunch-and tested positive- so Craig quarentine- we then attend church- wearing mask at church, a 16 yr old young man had a stroke- later tested positive- Craig had to quarentine again, two days Later Matt Cluff 42 years old had a massive stroke and rush to the hospital, they transfer to Intermountian hospital- it is not good and we have been praying for him all week- we offers them our Draper home to stay while Matt is in ICU- we then get a phone call, Craig’s sister is in the hospital tested positive for the virus and is very sick- her husband later tested positive too and is now very sick- their both in their late 60’s, we are praying for their health to return- then just Friday night we hear of the passing of Lee Watts due to COVID-19 complication- she is my sister in-law’s mother- we all called Nana- it is a shock to us all she was heathy for her age 85 -now gone in a week- our daughter Natasha called yesterday to say her in-laws tested positive and has greatly change their thanksgiving plans as they are in quarantine. With all this going on around us it leaves me feeling very anxious- I feel the sorrow in my heart for those love ones-I then have Trisha calling last night crying, because she cancelled our family gathering this Tuesday- due to the virus- we have been asked by the Governor of our state to only gather in small groups as immediate family and also a statement by the General authorities of the church today to do the same- it all causing more anxiety- Stacy is driving in from California arriving tonight- she called crying and wondering if they should not come at all. I feel their frustration my two daughters, because we do want to gather, yet all feeling anxious- this is a trying time in many ways- I just had to have a good cry today feeling all the stress going on around us. I want to feel safe- yet want to see our children. On top of it all I got a text notice from my bank of a possible fraud charge on my account- I had to deal with that this morning and then another Fraudulent text in regards to my apple account and Apple Watch-so now I have to figure that out- this just added enough stress that I had to have a good cry!! We missed our online stake Conference meeting- wished I had not been dealing with the fraudulent messages-but necessary- Craig had me clean up and go get some lunch. We afterward went and visited Natasha and her little family. It cheered me up- I helped her put up her new Christmas trees. The season is upon us- I have not been in the mood yet to decorate with all the stress going on- we are anxiously waiting the arrival of Stacy and her little family tonight. I want to enjoy their visit and try not to let this virus ruin the precious family time we have together.
I give Thanks to my dear husband- my best friend who brings joy and comfort to me in our life journey-
The Thomas family - love these grandkids so very much- it was a joy to see baby Cora- she has grown so much 11 months old- the year has gone by all to fast for me. We are looking forward to our Winn’s special baptism day-
