cutest goofy grin




as we were coming in from a little stroll last week and i turned around just in time to capture these. the first is sweet. the second cracks me up in a rolling-on-the-floor kind of way.

what would i ever do without her?

seriously.

ten images from this day in our lives










This is my first time participating in the "ten on ten" photo project. To read about the project, click here. We had a busy day today, but taking the time to keep my camera out and snap a photo every hour during our day of our randomness really did help me find the beauty in the simplistic things we did today. The images I captured are things that happen pretty much every day around here. But they are anything but boring if I remember to present myself to each moment. From (top 2 images) starting the day opening the blinds and looking out to see what kind of weather we will have - while also searching the yard for birds, cats, or squirrels (and notice how little sister is desperately trying to climb up onto the windowsill like her big bro) - to (images 3-4) having my little monkeys "help" me make our bed, to (image 5) running up and down the hallway countless times - and the new, pretty sweet thing if you ask me, is how my kidlets like to hold hands and walk together. (Images 6-7) From playing cars to (image 8) having Aspen wake him from his nap (car still in hand) to (last 2 images) bathtime, whew, the days sometimes seem long, but at the same time, fly by so quickly.

I love my children and I love the moments we shared together today.

And now, it is time to go rest and relax. Well deserved by all of us :)

Nighty-night.
