Oh the little things!

Mornings...that word is associated with coffee, big comfy bathrobe, messy bun hair, coffee and tired eyes.  Which is why I will never torment you with such a picture.  Thankfully my littles provide a much nicer look at our mornings.  Ashton is bright eyed beginning at 5 AM with big brother following anywhere from 6-7.  Some days its all too early, joys of motherhood right! :)  Also maybe God's sense of humor regarding moms.  He waits til the exhaustion makes us question our desire to be parents then gently reminds us exactly why we wanted that in the first place.  I had two such moments this morning and I am so thankful for them.  First was smiles from Ashton for Jack and I...

Oh wait...I can be serious!

The second moment was on our morning walk when Jack found a feather.  It was tiny, but he carefully picked it up exclaiming; "Its a beautiful feather mommy!", such a sweet little man.  I love being reminded by  my toddler to enjoy the little things in life.  To remember the wonder of discovery and took look at the world thru a child's eyes.  Hooray for mommyhood and littles!

A boy and his dog

We've had a busy day today; Jack took a walk with Henry, helped mommy put up a bird feeder, saw a Praying Mantis trying to fend off Henry, and snacked on some yummy melon. Yup, like I said pretty busy, and we loved every sunshine filled second of it! What did you do today?

Jack loves his Henry dog!

Jack's New Ride

I'm doing a Monday stand off if anyone wants to join me. I've always thought of the weekend as 3 days, but really anymore we only have one free day all to ourselves. This weekend or "weekend day" was really quite enjoyable. Jack's Nana came by for a visit bringing with her some new toys that Jack just loves and I have to say I'm enjoying them too. The weather was amazing, sunshine in the afternoon, so of course we all took a leisurely walk. Well actually Nana and I walked, Justin and Jack rode their bikes. Jack really likes his in case you were wondering.

Justin and I also watched the Oregon Ducks game. GO DUCKS! In case you are not a crazy Duck fan like myself, they were playing Stanford, who is ranked 9th in the Pac-10. Aren't you impressed with my college football knowledge?? :) That is about the extent of it, but I almost had ya fooled right?

So that was our weekend day, what did you do this weekend?

I'd Rather Be Jack Today

This is what I did today...
