Ten Things to Smile about is a monthly meme I started after a rough month where I knew I needed to look back and find something good. So look back and find ten things, everything from a pretty sunset, to something you accomplished, to a something you bought-- anything that made you smile. Would love for you all to play along. The linky will be open for a week and a half, so plenty of time to link up.
Ten Things to Smile About in March
1. Celebrating my husband's birthday and actually surprising him with a guitar!
2. A trip to Knotts Berry Farm wearing short sleeve and shorts!
3. Having a wonderful visit with my in-laws over spring break
4. Finding out I am not the only one who has trouble swallowing pills!
5. Leaving behind the mini-van and getting a new car! No longer a mini-van mama
6. Spring flowers, spring temperatures and beautiful pictures of my daughter-see more here
7. When Ryder asks me to take his picture and then does this
8. Finally seeing my bestie CA Girl again!
9. A new dress and getting some pictures of myself that I actually really like (thanks to my husband for taking the pictures!)
10. My kids excitement when we took cookies to our local fire fighters as part of this months Heartfelt Acts (More on this Tomorrow!!)
What made you smile this month? Linky will be open for a while so lots of time to join in. Also come back for Heartfelt Acts tomorrow!
Sweet new ride! I love how Ryder sticks his tongue out. Those are great pictures of you and you absolutely have wonderful things to smile about!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! And I love your purple pants!
ReplyDeleteI had to click back and see the photos of Alex, I guess I missed that post. They are gorgeous! I love the field of wildflowers and what a beautiful little model she makes. Great job!
ReplyDeleteSo jealous that you got to wear shorts, I'm not excited about them, but I am excited about warm weather meaning I can wear flip flops. I hope it hurries. Great month!
ReplyDeleteShorts weather is a long way away for us here. We had snow this weekend.
ReplyDeleteYou sure had great stuff to smile about though.
I missed last month because honestly it was a craptastic month. I will do my best to get something up this week.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up with us, as always!
You've made me jealous with the shorts (once again!), as we're still in jackets here with snow on the ground! And Alex among the flowers - one of my dream shots!
ReplyDeleteI love that dress on you...and I know I already said that...and since Ryder has had his haircut he looks soooo big!
ReplyDeleteRyder is quite the character, isn't he?! Such a cute family you have!
ReplyDeleteRyder is quite the character, isn't he?! Such a cute family you have!
ReplyDeleteI love the new ride, fun pictures, and your dress! You have some wonderful things to smile about :D
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful reasons to smile!! I love your dress, it looks terrific on you. And your kids are adorable! :)
ReplyDeleteI thought we put seeing each other on the same number! I put it at 7. haha. Close enough. Firemen. HOT! ;) I love those pictures of Alex. :)
ReplyDeleteI never had a problem swallowing pills until this morning, I could barely get my vitamin to go down- I must have forgotten how to drink water properly or something-- crazy- I love your pictures and your kids are so photo genic which is awesome! I've gotta find some flowers and try to get spring-ish pictures of the kids. I need to make a list of things to do!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely all wonderful things to smile about. Hope April is just as blessed for you!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I forgot again to do the smiley thing! *smacks forehead* OK, I'm adding myself a reminder in my Outlook calendar so I don't forget next month. April's going to be full of smiles, I can feel it! :)
ReplyDeleteYou have so much to be smiling about!! You've sure got me smiling! :) LOVE the gorgeous pictures of your daughter! And I love that your son asked you to take his picture, then made a funny face - Princess Nagger does that all the time, too! :) And man, you've got some hunky firefighters at your firehall! We have older big beer belly dudes at ours... :) Oh, and congrats on trading in the Mom Van for a sporty look! Love the new car! :)
Spring Snow, Easter Egg Teaser, Tulip Destructo Kitty and Purple Day: RTT Rebel
Great events! Love the fireman pic. We try to do that once in awhile too. :-)
ReplyDeleteEmmy your round ups make me the happiest person when i read them. I just love these photos the last one in particular! We opted for posting an easter card to our local police but it's the thought that counts huh? The photos of your daughter look lovely and i really like your photo too. Will be linking mine up shortly! x
ReplyDeleteThat dress looks fabulous on you! Wow, we have TWO minivans and today I was just thinking it might be nice to not, so congrats!
ReplyDeleteLove that firefighter pic! I bet they were surprised! And, woohoo! No more minivan!
ReplyDeletexo
Cool birthday present for hubby! Does he play?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pic of you! Green may be your color!
I wish you lived here so you could have taken our Easter pics. I used a new person and wasn't very impressed. She got a couple of good shots but over-edited a couple. Boo.
Anyway, thanks for linking up with us!
Ditching the mini-van really is something to smile about! When ours died, I fought my husband about getting an SUV (he wanted one). He won because we found one for a fantastic deal, and there were no minivans in our price range. The first time I drove our new (to us) SUV, I fell in love and will probably never go back!
ReplyDeleteLove the rest of your list as well - but I just really bonded with you over this one!
Sounds like you had a very lovely month indeed! Love the beautiful photos of your daughter, finally looking like Spring! And that dress looks lovely on you! Glad you had a good month :)
ReplyDeleteIssy x
I love that dress! And hooray for ditching the minivan! I refuse to drive one--I love SUVs!
ReplyDeleteJust looking at your list, it looks like it was a great month! I need to get back into doing this.
