Best of Days
Ashley of www.ashleyannphotography.com/blog inspired me to start a little journal of sorts where each day I can focus on one "best" of my day. Or two or three. But just someplace I can record those little moments I don't want to just pass by and be gone. Thanks for sharing in these moments with me :-).

Despite the kids running fevers and being crabs all day, I am so happy for the extra cuddles they wanted all day :-).

Morning ride with the kids. It was just so special to be out there in the woods riding with those I love the most.

One of the most fun St. Jude Ride's in 12 years! Adults only night the night before with drinks and the campfire, and a great ride the next day on some really great horses.

Watching Will spin his arms like a windmill to wind up to kick the soccer ball into the goal. Priceless. And hilarious.

My heart just swelled with pride today when hours after Will held, and lost, an item I picked up at a picker's sale today, he said out of the blue, "Mama, I'm so sorry I lost the measuring thing." What a precious boy to still be dwelling on it and feeling sorry.

3 days at home without the kiddos was quiet, and peaceful, and lonely. So happy to have my little ones back under our wings tonight.

A very productive day seeing our house go drab to fresh and new. Hooray for the 1920's and high quality siding and real metal corners!

Will told me today when I left him with Grandma "I'll miss you mama." Totally made my day!

My guy painted the shop by the light of the moon last night. How lucky am I? He does these things for us after a 13 hour work day. I am in awe of him.

I love that my little guy's favorite word right now is "super". As in "I'm super hungry" or "I'm super tall" or "I super don't like that." It just makes me grin at his unique choices of use for it.

Impromptu bar-b-que at M&R's with grilled chicken, my first potato salad, and angel food cake with strawberries and whipped cream and some Big Sky Brew. Ideal way to end "summer".

Running through the downpour from Home Depot to the truck and trying to convince the kids that's the fun in a summer rain :-).

Missed a few days. Probably just too busy having fun! Yesterday was not a good day. But since this is "best of my days" blog I better come up with something. So I'd have to say that the best part of yesterday was my super sweet man taking me to town to buy me a Kindle. He wants an Ipad2 so badly, but he's always putting my wants ahead of his own. How'd I get so lucky?! Too bad they were out of the Kindle I wanted :-P.

My tough little kids didn't (W) and barely (K) cried when they got their shots at the doctor's office. So proud of them :-).

A priceless trip to town ALONE. How sweet is that. And all my errands only took me 2 hours. Unheard of.

Ooops, the imac and burgers and beer were all one day. I forgot. I guess it was a long great day. But since today is the 21st, I can't decide if the best part of my day was a picnic lunch on the Cd'A River along the trail of the Coeur d'Alenes, or just the thankfulness that although 3 of the 4 of us are sick and/or running fevers, I get to take care of my wonderful God-given family when they really need me.

Seeing my kids after 7 days apart. Oh yeah! That's why we have those little loves :-).

The scenic drive home tonight was amazing. Sunset and the smell of green grass and golden wheat. Oh, but wait, buying flowers at Pike's Market today was a highlight, as was going to Ikea!! And how can I not say that being the mother to a precious "baby" who turned two today wasn't a huge deal, even though I didn't get to see her. Still about the most blessed girl alive today!

Some pretty stellar entertainment at the final dinner... Jason Hewlett! And then some crazy fun dancing. Best final night on our record.

Pretty great day with the hubby and friends. Best part of the day was probably relaxing in the hotel lobby and having drinks with a bunch of like minded Schwabbies.

Impromptu afternoon of shopping and Wendy's dollar menu lunch with my dearest friend. I wanted to kidnap her and not let her go back to college next week. So glad for a few moments of time together.

Twilight run with all 4 of us at Will's prodding. Baby K laughing hysterically at her daddy's stroller pushing antics. Running back home gazing on a nearly full moon behind a sheer layer of summer clouds.

Will asking for "bussgetti" for dinner was the best part of my day :-). I love those little kid words for stuff!

A day with the family. Said our farewells to Uncle J. and took the kiddos to their great-great grandparent's homestead. Oh, and seeing the community center's furnace system built out of an old two horse trailer was probably the real sight of the day!

Beach day with lifelong friends. Will's priceless mad kicking/"swimming" in the water thinking he's really got it down :-).

Warm summer night. Spokane Indians ball game. Summer sundress. Baby K sitting on my lap with her baby soft bare feet happily bouncing all over.
