small things


Lately I've been trying to dwell on the small things, the good, the things that make this crazy life we lead worthwhile. It's really not that hard..most days ;)



Little Kennedy's smile.  Oh how that girl can light up a room.

Landen's laugh.  His full bodied, big belly laugh.  When that boy thinks something is funny...he lets the whole world know! I love it..even when its obnoxious. 

Owen helping me in the kitchen.  Telling me "the water is boiling!".  

Patrick hugging me from behind while I cook/clean/whateverI'mdoing.

The way Patrick smells after he grills. He makes fun of me because I sniff him like a dog.  Whatever. 

Teaching Landen something new. He knows everything already ya know (*insert sarcasm here*). It's pretty cool when I teach him something and even he recognizes that mama isn't THAT dumb.

Owen being...Owen. He is SUCH a boy. Dirty, rugged, bruises all over....and blue painted toenails.  

Kennedy sucking her thumb. It cracks me up.  One day she'll learn to stop poking herself in the eye.

There's a lot more but those are the things that were my small things over this past week. 


ps. I wanted to include a picture of all the kids in this post...and realized the only one I have is them in the bath tub. OOPS. Bad mommy moment. I'll have to work on that this week!
