Things I love!

A few girlfriends recently encouraged me to try to post blog photos of a few things I am thankful for once a week. They have been doing this for a few weeks now and think that it has really made them stop and appreciate the "small" things in life a little more. As I sit down to try to come up with a few things, I find myself coming across a ton of photos of things that make me smile. It is not that I am not thankful - I TOTALLY am! It is just that I got sidetracked with all these pretty things! So here is tonights version:

A few things that make me smile!

(as i rest tonight i will think about all the wonderful things that i am thankful for! ) That post will come soon.........

Anything Houndstooth! ( i am not sure why i am suddenly obsessed with houndstooth)

Super cute awesome shoes!

And flowers resting in limes!

Levi wakeboarding!

Here are a few picts of Levi wakeboarding this summer. He did it last summer when he was 8 but did not have the strength needed to stay on the board very long. This year he is much stronger and can hold on for a really long time. He really enjoys water sports this summer.

(Love the big crash and splash at the end!)

Broken Bow summer 2011

Here are a few picts from our recent stay in Broken Bow. It was a much needed relaxing weekend. The weather was nice and the kids were awesome!

This photo was at the beginning of the drive when the kids were still happy and nobody was cranky yet!

The kids all enjoyed tubing and trying to push eachother off!

Hayden and Tara relaxing....

Tara catching some rays!

redecorating

Once again I find myself wanting to redecorate and here are some ideas that I just love! I suppose that since my house is small, I feel like I want to change it quite often to make it feel like I am not looking at the same walls all day long!

I love this living room...

I love this media room..

..

I love this little girls room....

Just a few recent photos from firts weekend of summer!!!!!

The kids celebrated their last week of school with a telent show. Much to my surprise, both kids wanted to enter. Levi jumproped with a friend, Corbin and Tara did a gymnastics routine. My pictures are terrible, but it is all I have....

Here the kids are having fun catching hail and watching the funnel clouds try to form right above our house.
