Happiness is...(Week 25, 2014)

Happiness is...

#Mamaminutes (Yes, I love trashy romance novels.)
X2!
Pushing a baby on the swing for 40 minutes is sort of like working out right?
Check out that smile! My boy LOVES trucks, tractors, cars and the forklift at daddy's work.
Our first harvest of the summer!

Happiness is...(Week 20, 2014)

 My sister graduated from CSU Monterey Bay on Saturday!

 I got to smooch on my 12 year old brother at the grad party. It's crazy how big he is. When I moved out he was only 4!
Speaking of graduates, Caet was the cutest at her preschool ceremony. 
 

Salmon patties & broccoli salad for dinner.

Happiness is...(Week 19, 2014)

It's been about a month since I've participated in #happinessis, finding the happy hasn't been easy lately.
 On April 26th my beautiful sister-in-law gave birth to a perfect but stillborn little girl, Simone.
I dreamed about this tattoo the morning after we said goodbye and on Mother's Day my sister & her boyfriend who is tattoo artist surprised me by bringing his gear over to dinner. I'm proud to be able to carry a little reminder of my precious niece with me forever.

On April 29th, my other lovely sister-in-law gave birth to a sweet little boy, Isaac.
Don't you love the onesie? I totally agree with it. ;) 
It is a hand-me-down from Weston & my other nephew Easton.
 Monday was my new friend's birthday and our kids picked her giant dandelion bouquets.
 I love making our own play dough & seeing the fun creations.
 May 11-17 is Dirty Diaper Laundry's 4th Annual Flats & Handwashing Challenge.
This is the 3rd year we have participated.

Here is my 6 year old handwashing her doll's diapers with me last night. She said,"I'm just like mommy!"
Cue heart melt.

Happiness is...(Week 15, 2014)

I'm not keeping up with my #happinessis posts. I feel like life is eating me alive lately.
I'm almost finished top stitching all of the onesies from my SIL's baby shower and even had time to do one myself. I opted for freezer stenciling because I'm so sick of top stitching! Oh and I broke my machine working on the very last shirt. So that's kind of not even an option.
This little boy went through a growth spurt and slept for over 13 hours one night. Waking just enough to nurse every 2 hours of course.
He loved watching our caterpillars become butterflies. He would spend much of the day standing on a step stool watching them. He was telling them good night in this picture.

And The Fifth Element is available on Netflix! This is one of my favorite movies ever. I've probably seen it over 20 times.
