Lovin' Life!!! July 29, 2011

I am very blessed. I haven't had the best week, I'm going to be honest. It's been one thing after another and high emotions to go along with it. However, I am happy. At the core of my soul where it really matters, I am happy. No matter what goes on within and day or a week I know that I am blessed. I am cared for and truly loved.

And as always, there have been some little moments that make me feel wonderful. Even in on the bad days, I am still Lovin' Life!

I love how well our garden is doing. I am honestly surprised, but excited. We have tons of jalapenos and I am trying to find new ways to use them. We had jalapeno poppers last night and they were okay. My husband liked them a lot, but they were still a little too spicy for me. I can't wait to make some more pico de gallo with all of the fresh tomatoes, jalapenos and onions!

I love how much Zoey loves to read. She doesn't really have the patience to sit still long enough for me to read her an entire book yet. But she loves to flip through books and look at the pictures. She has gotten to wear she will point to words for me to say, they are just not in any kind of order.

I love how Zoey loves to help. She loves to be in the kitchen with me and is becoming a pretty awesome little cook. So this week, she helped me with the dishes. She would rinse them off and put them in the drainer. She actually did a pretty good job, and yes I was keeping an eye out for leftover soap. I have a feeling it won't be long until she takes over my kitchen and I become the Sous Chef.

Zoey surrounds herself with creativity. She loves to color, write, draw, do puzzles and use stickers. I love that she enjoys all the creative outlets. We even upgraded to harder puzzles. She is doing really well with them.

My two most favorite people in the world. I could not have wished a better husband and daughter, they are simply awesome! I love this picture of Daddy's bear hug. It is so sweet. 

I am very excited that we have met some new friends who have lots of kids for Zoey to play with. 

I love how much Zoey wants to learn. I wrote out the Alphabet in her notebook and she was trying to copy the letters. It was too cool! She can actually write a very impressive "o." She will hand me the marker and tell me what to write. 

It really is the little things that make life worth living. I hope you have a great weekend!
