More Little Moments

Periodically I like to throw in a 'Little Moments That Really Matter' post. Just because I can. And because I haven't blogged in a decade. And because little moments are easy to overlook, but they make up our lives. And you know what? Because they really matter. :)

{Brace yourself for forty million pictures!}

Some moments that I've been loving lately:

-- When I can hear Hannah talking to herself in her crib in the morning and as soon as she sees me, she busts into the biggest smile you've ever seen!

-- When my husband came up behind me as I was doing dishes last night, stole the scrubber, and commenced doing the dishes from behind my back. It required great skill, intense concentration, and some kick-butt team work. :)

-- Spending 13 bucks on a plant for my outdoor stairwell only to watch it slowly die. Oh, wait. No, I didn't enjoy that one so much.

. . . . . . . .

-- Taking Hannah on her first fishing trip.

 

Yay! I caught one! We ended up giving it to the people camped next to us because one fish wasn't worth the effort to take home :)

. . . . . . . .  

-- Going on walks with my family.

{My husband cracks me up. The entire walk, I don't think he stopped making car noises. Or hitting every single rock-driveway imaginable. Or popping wheelies. Our kid is going to looove going on walks with her dad when she gets old enough to appreciate it!}

And yes, I used the word "funner". Because that's how I roll.

To be clear, here, he clicked his heels three times. But I was a horrible camera-woman and only caught two.
. . . . . . .

-- Surprising my niece on her birthday by bringing her cookies at school {I was just a tag-along, though. I didn't bake the cookies, nor did I come up with the idea. It was all my sister. I wish I could take the credit!}

-- When Hannah gets so excited, her eyes become little more than slits because she's smiling so big!

-- Watching my hubby play with our kidlit during sacrament meeting on Mother's Day, resulting in rare giggles.

-- Checking on Hannah during her nap and finding her like this. Every. Single. Time.

. . . . . . . .

-- Hannah attending her first symphony concert {in support of her mamma}.

See that tiny head the arrow is pointing at? 'Dats me! :)

. . . . . . .

-- My kid's recent obsession with refusing to take naps without an insanely long fight. Oh, wait. No, I don't enjoy that one much, either. But it sure is great when she eventually zonks out!

-- Getting a free meal at Cafe Rio. Finally.

-- Having Zoe come in from burning off some energy and seeing four of the greenest paws you've ever seen. We had just cut the lawn, and, yeah. It didn't take a genius to figure out where she had been playing. :)

Have some fun and think of what little moments YOU'VE been enjoying the past little bit. You might just surprise yourself!
