He doesn't love early mornings but he still gets going with a smile on his face...I love that about him!

Friendship is a beautiful thing!

I have so much to be thankful for but nothing more than these wonderful people!

Don't believe the rumors... 13-year-olds are amazing!! I spent my Saturday with Trent and a bunch of other wonderful 7th and 8th graders at robotics and was reminded again and again that this age group is kind, funny, creative, courteous, intelligent and all around awesome!

We never get sick of shopping together especially if we get to try on new hats!

With my mom in the hospital the last few days I have been full of emotion.  It has reminded me once again to tell those you love them that you do, to help when you can and accept help when you need it, and to never lose sight of the fact that having those you love in your life is all you will ever need.

My entire world and heart in one photo.

I got some girl time with the best little shopper in the world.  We went out with $10 and a coupon in our pocket.  We didn't spend a dime over our $10 and yet when I came home I felt so much richer.  Time with this beautiful lady always reminds me how very lucky I am to be her mom.

Eating patriotic jello and celebrating our right to vote. There are a thousand different opinions out there about candidates but teaching our children the importance of voting and the gratitude we should have for that right is where my family's focus is today.
