Smile Makers

Ok, so today I just wanted to document some of the things that make me smile, I was inspired by a fellow blogger. Because really, I consider this blog a journal/scrapbook. I so don't have time to sit down for an hour or more to work out one scrapbook page with 3 pictures on it. My goal is to get all my posts printed in a hardbound book for a keepsake....maybe several.

Anyway so here it goes...in no particular order...

1. Jackson's warm, little chunky cheeks after a nap. They are slightly rosy and so fun to kiss.
2. My level, because I hate hate hate crooked pictures. I go through my house at least monthly to make sure everything is still exactly right, and amazingly, they are crooked....again
3. Summer evenings outside in the backyard with Markham and the kiddos. It is just perfect. Especially if Markham is working on a fresh batch of homemade ice cream.
4. Enjoying Raclette with friends and family, so so fun.
5. Hearing Kaitlyn say, " I love you a lot mommy"
6. Getting a kiss on the cheek every morning when Markham leaves for work, while I am half asleep in the bed with one or both kiddos.
7. Really crispy grapes, the kind that literally make a "pop" sound when you bite down
8.  Diet Coke
9. Being in Idaho with my family and being so so lazy that we end up watching an entire day of Cake Boss.
10. Hot chocolate when it's cold outside or cold inside because of a crazy high a/c.
11. Summer storms
12. Fall leaves
13. When Kaity and Jack play together
14. A great pair of jeans
15. Red Mango frozen yogurt. I could live on the stuff. Regular with Ghirardelli chips and raspberries.....serious yum. 
16. Camp fires, without the camping and without the after smell.
17. Waking up in the morning and finding Jackson peacefully sleeping between Markham and I....as long as it's not every morning.
18. Markham's sense of humor
19. A bubble bath and a great book
20. Handbags and shoes
21. A pedicure with one of my favorite girls
22. The living room, so that surprise guests don't see the embarrassing state of the rest of the house
23. An uninterrupted nap
24.  Bath & Body Works
25. Our pathetic little garden
26. Playing games and eating snacks
27. Hearing the garage open when Markham is home.
28. and last but certainly not least, going to Church on Sunday with Markham and the kiddos. I am so grateful for the gospel and the peace & comfort it brings to my life.
