It's the little things

You know those times when you feel like you are just swelling with happiness? And I'm not talking about the big obvious ones like when you get engaged, married, hold your baby for the 1st time, etc... I just mean one of those times when it's nothing all that extraordinary but it just hits you that you have it pretty great. Like when tonight Rylee was being a little pill about going to bed and so I finally just gave in and laid next to her and just when she was about to fall asleep she rolls over and wraps her tiny arms around me and tells me she loves me...one of those. Well I felt like our little excursion up the mountain a couple weeks ago was one of those. It really wasn't anything super special or exciting, but maybe it was just the fact that we were away from everything, we were up in the mountains, it was beautiful and everyone was in a good mood, whatever it was it was just great. I think that Garrick just sensed that I needed a very mini-getaway and so he had the idea to drive up the mountains and walk around and have a picnic. I can't believe we don't do it more often, it's really so beautiful and they have great little trails all over. Both Rylee and Jadyn adored it as well. Rylee was so excited running all over the place and collecting little acorns and berries that she referred to as "deer food." I wonder who taught her that?... And well, Jadyn just kept looking around all bright eyed and kicking her feet, in baby language that means "really happy." Anyways, I don't want to get all seriously so blessed on you all (if you haven't, you all totally need to check out that blog...HILARIOUS!!!) but I just needed to blog about it because otherwise I would never remember these little trips and memories. That's what blogging is for, right? Well mine is.
