Being around my nephew this weekend made me appreciate the little things in life... Children are such wonderful gifts from God and are SO easily entertained.... Hiding under a blanket, reading a book, standing on a soft patch of grass with no shoes on, getting candies for pottying in the big boy potty, turning a bed into a pirate ship, rolling a ball up and down the stairs in the backyard, playing keep away with the tee-balls, finding a snake in the driveway, seeing grandpas new toolbox, getting to go outside to take Halley potty and getting excited when they can go potty outside too;) .... children appreciate the little things in life and always stop to explore and smell the roses.. I think that there is a lot I can learn from a child....
This pictures melts my heart.. it my brother Patrick and my nephew Grant.. they are playing a game with Chris, Ryan and their dad.... rolling a ball up and down the back steps... its the simple things that make guys smile and happy:)
I'm glad my brother can still take time to relax during pre-finals week and remember what it is to be a child!!

Happy Monday Friends:)

Oh I like this post a lot! It's so true.. if we can all go back and remember the time of our lives before bills and jobs, I think people would be a lot more happier with the little things that really make life count :)
It really does make your heart burst when they get so excited like that...there's nothing better!
So true! ALthough, you are a braver aunt than me. If I'd found a snake, I'd have screamed and high-tailed it into the house!
But no, seriously, thank you so much for reminding us of this! Children can teach us so much!
So very true. I love their innococent little spirits!!
Cute picture! I hope everyone can take a moment and appreciate the innocence of a child.
So sweet...kids do make you have an "inner childhood" memory flush through every now and then :)

Kids most certaintly are the most precious gifts from God. I love children and cannot wait to have some of my own. They are amazing. You never know what they're going to do/say next! :)

Enchanted had to get knocked from my top 5 list, though I still love that movie so much!
Cute cute! Don't you just wish you could be like that again?? I love how all it takes is the little things in life to make a kid smile. Just precious! Your brother is a sweetie!
It really is the best thing to get to experience childhood all over again as a parent! Kids are awesome...you will be a great Mommy!

That pic is adorable! It really is the small things. My favorite sound in the world is when Jeremiah belly laughs. It is the cutest thing!

Life as a child is so carefree ......all the time.
