things that make me smile

*Porter watching bull-riding. He thinks it's awesome... and when he watches he shouts, "WOOOHHH" the entire time the rider is on the bull. It's one long drawn out "WOH" until he gets bucked off and Porter ends it with a "CRASH!"... one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

*Briggs loves his older brother. He chases him around the house, but for some reason, Porter is a little scared when Briggs takes chase. Porter starts to whimper and whine... and when Briggs finally catches him (because Porter is now frozen in place due to fear), Bridger breaks out in a full out chuckle... love it.

*UP!

*Porter has to jump over the cracks in the cement at Walmart. Not something that Kyle or I do, so I don't know where he gets it... but he's a little OCD about it. I first noticed it about a month or so ago and he still does it, every time. He has to jump over the cracks. Funny kid.

*Bridger sucks his thumb. He won't take a pacifier at all... loves that thumb. And he only sucks it when he's tired. Hand the boy a blanket, he'll take hold and shove his thumb into his mouth... in a few minutes he'll be asleep.

*Sweet Potato Fries from Costco. Bless you Kyle. Bless you and your ever-lovin-sweet-potato-fry-finding heart.

*Briggs desperately wants to eat or drink anything that you've got. I don't remember Porter being obsessed with our food, but Bridger sure is. From Porter's sippy cup full of milk or juice to my hamburger last night... he wants it.

*I tackled Porter last night and tickled him and in between laughing he shouted, "Daddy, Howp!" (help) When Daddy came to his rescue and then turned on him, tickling him as well, he shouted, "MomMom Howp!" So funny.

*Porter sitting in his chair eating spaghettios. Bridger sitting underneath the chair literally being showered with the remnants of what falls off the spoon on the way to Porter's mouth, and Briggs enjoying every spilled bite. (I had to scrub the drippings out of Bridger's hair afterward)

*Homemade Peanut Butter Bars... yummy.

*This sweet little red-head who has decided that he doesn't like his photo being taken.


*This little blue-eyed smiley boy.

*And a much bigger blue-eyed boy whose picture I forgot to take.

All make me grin a little bigger.

You do have a lot to smile about. What a blessing to recognize that the simple things all that really matter. And I hate to admit it, but I am OCD about cracks too, although I don't JUMP over them. Every day on my morning walk, I have to step OVER the cracks in the sidewalk. Weird, I know.
