These are a few of my favorite things....

There are things I like.

And then there are things I love.

I love my seeing my babies smile especially when they are laughing.


I love Anna Kate's crazy nappy hair each morning.

I love to snuggle on the sofa with Judd just after he wakes up from a nap. (He is the only snuggler I have so far.)

I love when the kids run to meet Jim at the end of the drive way each afternoon.

I love long days when we get to stay outside and play as a family each evening.


I love the smell of sweating kids, sunscreen and watermelon mixed together. It reminds me that we are in the middle of summer. The most wonderful time of the year.

I love popsicles with the kids on the front porch at the end of a long nap time.

I love feeling my fourth baby move, flip and kick me ALL the time.

I love to hear my kids pray each night at the end of family worship.

I love putting exhausted kiddos to bed. ;)

I love the quiet time with Jim each night after the kids are in bed.

I love getting up and doing it all over again.

I love being Jake, Judd and Anna Kate's mom.
