Moments of Happiness

Finding lady bugs and frogs in the backyard

 Followed by wrestling around in the grass on warm sunny days.

 Waking up to cool breezes and the sound of these little birdies coming through our window.

 Movie nights where we get cozy and eat popcorn (and yes I was too lazy to edit out the red eye)

 Picnics in the backyard, even when its not that sunny out.

Peeks at a cute sleeping boy. Mmmm. I just want to smoosh him.

 BBQ's on the grill. Check out this DIVINE recipe at my new favorite food blog.

 Enjoying the sunshine. Need I say more?

 I just found this picture on our camera. And it made me so happy. Its so not like Jaron to do pics like this, but I love that he did, because I think its cute. I love these boys.

 This is my number one favorite happy moment of the last month. Watching a tender older sis love on her little aching brother, who was being tormented with hand foot and mouth disease. What a sweet older sissie.

 A fun and creative little girl wanting to create a crown that will wow you for an art project during quiet time. Its bigger than her face.

 

Almost nothing makes me happier than when my four year old comes in with a handpicked bouquet of fresh wild flowers, immersed in her love, and says "I picked these for you Mom".  

 A fun renovation of some old hand me down dressers that were once wood colored. Now they are painted white, as you can see, with fun little red knobbies that I found at Ikea for $1.99.

And alas. Happy Saturday mornings with a newly created tradition from Jaron, which entails pancakes that are colorful with lots of butter and syrup.

What happy moments have you had lately?
