Ten Things to Smile About

Another month is coming to a close- so it means it is time to look back and find the things that made you smile. You can simply write a list, a list with pictures, however you would like. I just ask that you please add the button to your post.



Ten Things to Smile About: September

1. Watching Ryder fall asleep in his high chair several times this month


2. A fun Labor Day weekend celebrated with the family
3. Even when things seem really hard- realizing that I am looked over and that things will work out

4. Taking some time to create- a puzzle for Ryder and this transformationI will blog about it soon

5. Getting a great package in the mail while participating in a blogging swap

6. Hearing this amazing talk-- if you need a lift as a mother and woman-you should take the time to listen to it. This is just a small clip from it-- it is so worth listening to the whole thing- you can hear the whole thing here


7. Trying to be run down by these cute kids
8. Cupcakes
9. Both of my kids successfully saying their parts at the Primary program--and um the picker-yeah I am smiling about that now too

10. The cooler evenings-- it is trying to turn into fall here.... very slowly, but hey it's trying

What made you smile this month? The linkey will be open all week, so please play along anytime you get your list done.

    Ryder's hair is really growing. You can't tell as much from the front, but that pic of his back? So cute!!

    I almost did this last night, but then I was in a bad mood and couldn't think of 10 things.

    Adorable. It's trying to turn into fall here, too, but sadly I know it won't. That is probably my biggest complaint overall about the south.

    Luckily, I have lots of other things to smile about!

    Ugh I meant to make my list last night and ended up working around the house! Darn "life" getting in the way of my blogging ;-) I will be sure to get on one today!

    Can I just say I LOVE the table! Great job! I just love taking something and giving it new life!

    Ryder looks sooooo big :-( I can't believe how much he has grown over the past couple of months! He looks giant compared to poor little Jayce. And I have been tempted to fall asleep in my dinner too ;-) When you're tired.... you're tired! LOL

    These posts always make me so happy! Your kids are so so so cute! And I love when babies fall asleep in their high chairs. We have video of our son doing the same thing and I never fail to laugh.

    You go on such fun family outings. I am a little jealous. :) And I cannot believe how big they are all getting! Seriously, who injected them with a growth hormone?
    Your table looks amazing! I sort of love it. Wanna come do my bookshelf? I am seriously drawing a blank since I took off all the books.
