What I love most...
I love the cars in the window sill lined up behind my couch
because that means I have a little boy that knows how to play.
I love the books that are scattered throughout my house
because I know that means my little boy likes to read.
I love the sticky finger prints of syrup on my table
because that means I have a little boy to make that mess.
I love the crayon scribbles across my table
because that means I have a little boy who is learning.
I love the tiny little handprints on my windows
because that means I have a little boy who lives in this house.
I love the little voice that calls out "Mommy" every morning and naptime
because that means I have a little boy who trusts in me.
I love the snuggles and random slobbery kisses
because that means I have a little boy who loves me.
I love when my I get tiny jabs and kicks in my tummy
because that means I have a healthy baby coming.
I don't love being sick, but I do appreciate the compassion my husband has when I am.
I love the sweet kiss from my husband that wakes me up
because that means I get to wake up to my fairytale everyday!
I love knowing my best girl friend is only a call away
because that means I have some fond childhood memories and more to come!
I love that I get to make dinner almost everyday
because that means I have food to feed my family
I love my trials that make me feel I can't go any further
because that means I get a chance to pray.
I love being able to pray everyday and anytime I need to talk
because that means I have a Heavenly Father who will listen and comfort me when I think all is lost!
I love my life!
I have had a lot of experiences lately to remind me why my life is good. I know there are a lot more things to list of what I am grateful for and what I love, but those are the few that I'd like to share. I sometimes feel that I let my life slip by without breathing in all of the goodness around me. I know that I need to slow down and stop wishing that Trevor were done with school, or that I had a house to paint and decorate...because one day I'll probably miss the simplicity of the life we live now. I am so grateful that we've been given this time in our little family life for Trevor to not have to work so he can focus on school. I have a lot of gratitude for the life that I get to live now.
Well whats a post without some pictures?

| I finished my V-day shelves! Even though I can not take pictures to save my life, I wanted to share. |

| This little boy loves hide and seek and this space is just the perfect hiding spot! |

| We finally found some snowpants that fit...now we just need the snow! |

| This is one of my sick days, I made Ryker a fort and let him pick a movie. He chose Toy Story. He got some yummy strawberries, his blankie, puppy and cars sippy. He sat there for most of the movie enjoying his space just for him! |
