Happiness is....long time no see

I am sure that most of you know that I have been a little shy in the blog world. For that I am sorry. Life has been crazier that I could ever even begin to post about. Just know that life is good over here and I am really happy. This happiness just reminded me that I haven't done a happiness is post in awhile. So here it is.

Happiness is..........Silly faces!!! Why? Because nothing is sillier than making faces. You know that you risking looking ridiculous but it just doesn't matter. Sometimes....if you are really luck people catch you silly faces on camera. Like my boyfriend here....he was caught on camera making a silly face while celebrating my birthday. I thought that this was the funniest photo ever. I love this photo!! The best part...he doesn't mind my posting it :0)

This next photo is dear to my heart. This is picture of my nephew and I making fishy faces at the beach. I had a blast.

I hope you enjoyed these photos. Now I have to ask.....what is your happiness?

Happiness is....(April 18)

In the craziness that has been my life lately I somehow have managed to stay on my game this week. Here it is....this weeks happiness is...... knee high striped socks!! They sort of remind me of some weird 80's party. Plus they make my legs look longer. hehe. What is your happiness for this week??

Happiness is....(April 13)

Sorry this has been delayed. But here it is..........This week my happiness is....Bubbles!!

There is something oddly funny about bubbles. They are always make me smile. I especially love them in my drinks.....such as Dr. Pepper.....YUM!! It is also always fun to see children light up when they see a container of bubbles. I don't really know what it is, but I love them too. My nephew walked around the house for a couple of days holding them. He was so excited! They are just joyful. I am sure that all of this sounds weird. So......what is your happiness for this week?

long time no post....

It has been a long time since I last posted. I am sure many of you are on the edge of your seat for the next posts....hehehe :0) Oh how I have missed the blog world. I have been extremely busy. I recently moved so I have been running around like crazy trying to start up everything at my new place. I will continuing my 'Happiness is' post so keep checking back for them on Sundays. For right now I will be posting one early..however they will continue to be on Sundays. I hope everyone has been doing well. See you next time!

Happiness is....(march 21)

This is the second week of the happiness is..... posts. This week I am finding myself oddly happy with........coasters. I have these coaster that I got from Target. I love them. I have barely used them because I am so afraid to get them dirty. They have become more a splash of color for my room. I love them so much and I can't help but smile when I see them......(as sad as that may sound) Enjoy.

What is your happiness for this week??

Happiness is....

Dear readers, on-lookers, followers and everyone in between. Hello. For several weeks now I have been kicking around the idea of creating something weekly. Not just a regular photo post but something that you can join in on. So here it is. It is a happiness post. There are several things in our daily lives that make us happy. It could be anything from a paper clip to a person. Happiness is all around us. My plan is to spread all of our joy weekly and share with others. So, I am asking you.....What makes you happy? What brings that smile to your heart? If you can think of something, then post a comment to my post about your happiness and maybe add a photo. You could even post something on your own blog about it if you would like.

I will start..

My happiness is baby giggles. I have been thinking about what would be my first choice for awhile. Up until a couple of hours ago I had an idea but it quickly changed while hanging out with my niece Madison.

It always amazes me how babies laugh at the weirdest things. Tonight, I was holding one Madison's toys and was blowing on it, trying to move it. She started laughing so hard that she fell over on the bed. I was so adorable and infectious. I wish that I could have attached a video of it but for now here is a photo of her giggling.

She's so cute!!

Birthday Surprise

These past two weeks have been extremely busy for me. The biggest event, and most difficult, was my mom's surprise birthday photo-shoot. We have been working for months to iron out the details and get everyone together. I had to practically force her to wear a certain color. It was worth all of the sneaking around. She was so surprised to see everyone on the beach. I am so glad that everything went well. Here are some of the photos I took while we were all together.

The water was so amazingly clear..it was beautiful.

I didn't make into some of the photos because it started raining. Everyone did so well. Even the kids didn't mind the rain.

My favorite one.

Oh the faces!

My Mom

Today is a very special day....

Today is my mom's birthday!

A note to my mother:

I am so lucky to be able to call you my mom. I was thinking back today over all of the laughs and fun times we have had together. You and I both know that there are several of those. You have always made me feel special and loved. I know that I can always count on you to be my biggest supporter no matter what I go through. I remember when a new school year would start, I would find a letter/card from you saying that you loved me and wished me good luck. Of course you always did manage to throw words of wisdom in the letter too ;) You are pretty wise, you know. Thank you for always supporting me no matter what. This past year has been difficult and I couldn't have gotten through without you. You are one of my best friends and an amazing mother. You always have been. I love you more than you could possibly know. Happy Birthday Mom. xoxo

Making my heart smile :D

This little ray of sunshine shines brighter as the days go by ♥

Young Love..

E's Birthday pt.1

This past weekend I had the privilege of photographing this adorable little boy (my nephew) on his 2nd birthday. I had a blast! Photographing all of the little kids and the birthday boy playing together was such a joy. These are just a couple to post now. I will be posting the second half soon. These photos are of little Ethan (birthday boy) playing at the park with one of his aunts. I hope you enjoy them. Thank you so much to his parents for letting me be a part of/and work this special day.

This is Madison. She just turned 7 months old. I know seven months is not that big of a deal but I couldn't resist photographing this little beauty. Look at those cheeks!!
