The little things in life...

I'm stealing this idea from a couple of my dear friends, but I wish I could say I thought of this great idea. Gemma got the idea from one of her friends, then Mel did it & now I'm doing it...enjoy!

The things I love...
Getting Dailey out of her bed in the morning, waking up in the morning & seeing Justin & Dailey snuggled up together, the look on Dailey's face when she says "morning", her crazy hair, her big blue eyes, the gaps between all of her teeth, her slobbery kisses, how excited she gets when we blow bubbles, the way she waters the flowers, the way she lays her head down on my shoulder when I walk her to bed, the way she helps me weed the garden & flower beds (she pulls out everything she can get her hands on!), the way she yells "DADDY, DADDY, DADDY!" when we drive by the shop, the way she yells "PAPA, PAPA!" when we drive by my dad's store, how excited she gets when she sees Logan & Landon, when she wants her window rolled down when we are in the car, the way she snuggles when she is tired, the way a kiss can make anything better in her eyes, her love of dogs & cats, the way she loves her Auntie, how excited she gets when she rides on the lawn mower with her daddy, the way she talks when she is upset or concerned about someone/something, the way she talks in her own language, the way she laughs, her stubborn ways, the way she says "uh huh", being her mommy, the way she gets excited when I paint her nails, the way she looks in her swimming suit, the way she runs.

Hearing Justin say "I love you" before we go to sleep every night, waking up with Justin every morning, the look on Justin's face when he looked at the pregnancy test & told me I was pregnant this time, the way Justin looks with his hat & sunglasses on, watching Justin & Dailey play when they don't know I'm watching them, watching him work on a project, being overcome with emotions when I walked into his room after his transplant, the days after his transplant when I was able to take care of him, the tears that ran down his face when he held Dailey for the first time, his blue eyes, putting away the dishes with his help, the love he has for Dailey, the love he has for our unborn baby, the love he has for me, the pride he takes in his work, watching he & Dailey drive the boat, listening to him read Dailey books, the way he smells after a shower, the way he loves the outdoors, the little things he does to show me he loves me, riding the 4-wheeler with him, the way he touches my pregnant belly, the goals he has for our family.

Our wedding pictures, our wedding video, having company over, visiting with friends, the smell of babies, reading other people's blogs, being a wife, mother, daughter, sister, grand daughter, aunt & niece, when Logan will still give me a hug & a kiss in front of his friends, the way Landon refuses to give me a hug or a kiss in front of his friends :), the bond that Logan & Landon have, boating with our families, listening to Logan's stories that go on for hours, giving Dailey a bath, walking on a beach, the quietness our house has when Dailey is taking a nap, camping with friends, summer BBQ's, baking Christmas cookies, getting my hair cut & colored, carving pumpkins, our garden, our yard, giving birth (yes, I did really enjoyed it!), getting flowers, reading what Justin writes in greeting cards, going to Hat Island, hearing my dad say "You Grandfather is doing really good!", childhood memories with my grandparents, new makeup, family pictures, dimples, toothless smiles, a newborn baby crying, scrapbooks, Christmas Eve at my mom's house, my mom having answers to questions you can only ask your mother, talking to my sister for hours, family gatherings, traveling, helping friends, planting flowers, old couples who are still in love, hearing someone say "I love you".

There are so many things I love about life...my list could go on & on for hours. Anyone who hasn't done this should, it's amazing how good it makes you feel to think of all the things you love in life.

Love to all!!
