These Are a Few of My Favorite Things and Confessions

I'm just sitting here thinking about a few of my favorite things...so I thought I'd share.

I love fancy coffee. I've never been a "morning have to have my coffee person", but I do like one for a treat. I just wish they weren't so expensive. I probably buy one a week.

I love pedicures. They make you feel so good and relaxed. If you don't get them you're really missing out. This indulgence cost about $25.00. I'd like to get one every month, but I probably only get 4 each year.
Okay, so here's a true confession. I could eat Ice Cream every day. I love it. I actually went about two months without having it...but it is such a nice evening treat. How often do I eat it...it depends, but I think once a week would be good.

For a nice relaxing get away I love the beach. I get lost on the beach. Time flies and I don't even know how far Ive walked. It's so relaxing to me. I would like to go to the beach at least four times each year.

I also love swimming and really want to put in a pool at our house. I think maybe this winter we'll finally be able to work out the money for it. I could swim everyday in the summer.

I love laughing and making people laugh. Laughter for me makes my whole body smile...do you know what I mean?

I love giving gifts.

I love being busy, and love helping out.

I love being crafty and love seeing what I've made.

I love throwing parties and am always proud of how they turn out.

And most of all I love my little munchkins who share each day of my life and make me smile and make me so very proud of them. I definately need them everyday. Especially Saturday mornings when they crawl in bed me with me to snuggle. It makes my day. Last week I told Brandon, "Thanks for snuggling, it made my day." He said, "It made my day too Mama." What more can I say.

What are your favorite things?

Yearly Photos of the Kids

First, let me say...I am in love with posting links from Shutterfly. It is so much easier than posting one by one, especially to facebook.

Taking pictures of the kids has been on my list for the last three weeks and I really wanted to get Shelby's before her front tooth falls out. Well, I did it!

Yesterday I took the kids to El Dorado Hills Town Center and shot 134 photos. Let me just say they were both excellent and earned a smoothie afterwards.

Let me also say that 5 year-olds do not know how to smile. Now, it's not Brandon's fault..it's just the way it is.

I hope you enjoy a sampling of my photos...I'm in love with many of them!
