What I love most!

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!
