things making me smile lately....

- my hubby installing childproof locks on the remainder of our kitchen cabinets, it was a glorious event followed by chocolate cake and lots of smooches!

- a really good cup of coffee.



- new dinosaur pj's for our little guy. never underestimate the power of new jammie's, i mean seriously, how cute is he?!?!





- learning the word "hot", but pronouncing it "ot" while standing in front of the oven.....



- coming home with four practically new (less than a year old) tires for our beloved accord for when our current set wears down. apparently an elderly man purchased all new tires for his accord at Justin's work and had every intention on tossing his "old" set because he does this every year. hey! another man's trash, our treasured blessing!

- a three-way-share of Costco's incredibly delicious, hand-dipped, $1.50 ice cream bar.....mmmmm!





- finding out that our kitchen, laundry and entry will have new flooring installed by the end of this month, hooray!

- booking airfare for a trip to TX this Spring to visit some sweet peeps and eat lots and lots of mexican food....and brisket...and Local coffee....ya get the idea, right? ;)

- matching hats with this cute little blondie-blue-eyed boy....





- receiving a surprise package from Breck's GiGi (Justin's mom) with an adorable new outfit inside for him as well as a  picture of Justin's Grandma that passed recently along with the three "Christmas money envelopes" she had waiting for us. Grandma gave out those envelopes to basically every member of the family (40+) each and every Christmas. melted our hearts... And have i ever mentioned how much i LOVE receiving mail of all shapes and sizes, cards...etc.? it really makes me smile that someone thought of us....

- getting closer with the ladies in my M.O.P.S group, i can feel God bringing up "community" around us and it feels like a giant hug, warms my heart.

- this man of mine


- the bond that Breck and Justin have, it's just about the most adorable thing I've ever seen....
Breck starts clapping when we pull in to pick Daddy up from work. i just love watching them together.








- this little guy discovering that his fingers fit ever-so perfectly in the holes of his nose...



- finding baby einstein's for $3.50 each at a resale shop and having a buy one, get one free coupon....yesssss!


- being sent personalized coupons based on our repeated purchases from our grocery store....umm, wow. if you know me at all then you know how flippin' excited i was about this! free bacon. free lunchmeat. free spaghetti sauce. free cake mix. it's truly the way to my heart....*free*.
