Since day 1 of our heart journey, we have really openned our eyes to not take life for granted. Not that we didn't know before but it's not hard to get caught up in life and overlook the many positives in our lives especially when you might have some negatives.

Every Thursday I post I "heart"... and list a few things that happened the past week that remind me just how blessed I am. Little and big. As you have probably guessed this was inspired by Bentley's heart. Although we were going through an extremely difficult time, there were many positives that I often overlooked because I would let the difficult moments bring me down.

Feel free to join in, and add yourself to Mcklinky below. I love how I can make notes of these little things that create so much happiness, and look back on them anytime.

I "heart" our son in the news paper - if you follow me on twitter, you probably already know about this and if you don't follow me on twitter... I will post more details here later.

I "heart" that I got to attend Brenna's field trip yesterday and had a sitter for Bentley. I really enjoyed that special time with Brenna.

I "heart" Bentley's kisses.

I "heart" my husband dearly. You know, when you have butterfly in the tummy feeling still after all these years. It's something special and I know many of you know what I'm talking about.

I "heart" that Bryson's party is this weekend!!! And he will get 1 of the 2 surprises during the time- the second will come a week or two later. I am having a hard time keeping quite, I am horrible about keeping things from my kids... well such exciting things.

I "heart" that Brenna is still doing amazing in school. Since she is in kinder- there aren't actual grades yet, but I continue to hear nothing but positive things and she is right on track if not ahead.

I "heart" that Bryson made A honor roll AGAIN!!! This makes the whole year now and they have all been higher A's. I really wish I could say he got his brains from me, but he did not.

I "heart" that there are only 5 weeks of school left. Gotta love the summer!!!

I "heart" sweet friends. I believe strongly in quality over quantity... and I have to say, I have the best friends ever (real life & blog). Don't know what I would do without them/you.

I "heart" Bentley's new flip flops. I love love love flip flops, I know I already talked about that here... but I found some super cute ones for Bentley and I will have to share them with you!!!

Don't forget to post yours and link up!!!

I am so embarressed!!! I did not even realize yesterday was Thursday until midnight last night. That is THE life of a stay at home mom with a to do list a mile long!!!! Better late than never though, right?!!

I "heart" Easter!!! What a special day it is. We had an amazing Easter and it was so exciting to watch Bentley hunt eggs for the first time!!! (that is one thing on my to do list... post Easter pics and video. I'm so bad!!!)

I "heart" listening to Brenna pray. Bryson is quite while praying so I cannot hear him, but Brenna... likes me to pray with her sometimes (love that!!) and it's so sweet.

I "heart" that Bentley is talking A LOT!!! She has been pretty verbal for a while now, but I mean, it's non stop now!!! And when she cannot say something she trys to use her own style of sign language. What a smart girl. I still don't understand it but it sure is cute. I will probably post about this one day.

I "heart" the weather. I know I keep saying this but it's so perfect right now. Sunny and 70's daily. I wish it stayed like this for a while but it will be getting pretty hot here soon. Texas has very warm summers. Still better than snow and rain though... hmmm... except for the electricity bill that comes with it.

I "heart" that Bryson has another travel baseball tournarment this weekend.

I "heart" my family... and my married family!!

I "heart" my new flip flops!!

I could go on for a while, but it is late and I am scheduling this post for the morning since I forgot to post on Thursday. I feel so bad!!! But here it is, and I would love love love nothing more than to read what all you heart!!!! =) =) =)

Be sure to post yours and link up!!!

WOW!!! Is it already Thursday?!!!

I "heart" Bentley's new custom shirts soooo much!! If you did not catch it on my last post you can go here to take a look!!! I bought them from Kristin - she did such an amazing job. I just know she would love to make yours too!!!!

I "heart" that Bentley says more and more each day. She is quite the talker. She will attempt pretty big words too. She's just amazes me.

I "heart" MEXICAN FOOD!!! But I can't eat it right now since I am dieting. (or trying.)

I "heart" Brenna's spunky personality. I know I mention a few of these each week, but I can't help myself. Things happen over the weak that just make me more and more grateful. Brenna says the cutest things. Just a couple from this week...

"Mom, thank you for waking me up when you did... dangerous things were about to happen in my dream!"

"Mom- my throat hers because I played so good at my softball game."

"You know what my body is made out of....? HAM!!!!"

I could go on and on. She is always saying something new. I love to sit and talk with her about things and just SMILE!!!!

I "heart" that Bryson has another travel baseball tournarment this weekend. Last was rained out so this will be our second. It's so fun watching him hang out with his best friends all weekend long and just watching them grow. It's sad, but he has grown to be such a well behaved young man. Usually it is the parents credit for that, but I don't think it is with Bryson... it has always been this way and has come very natural. I often wonder what I did to be so blessed with 3 amazing children!!!! =)

I "heart" sweet tea!!! A blog friend of mine and I were just talking about sweet tea. She lives in Cali and I live in Texas. I didn't think a lot of people outside of Texas drank sweet tea...? Looks like I'm wrong. Well, this is another thing I can't have right now. ;) But it sure is good.

I "heart" thunder storms. =) I have had it with the crazy weather, I am so ready for every day to be nice (like Texas summers). But it is just the begining of our raining season. I normally love it, but since winter has been so different for us, I just want the sun, no rain... just the sun. BUT, lastnight a thunder storm came through... I always love a good thunderstorm. Even better at night while going to bed... so relaxing!!!!

I have many more but I will cut it short this week since I wrote more about each "heart". WOW, and looking back reading what I wrote... it got pretty emotional with the kids. I usually try to keep I "heart"... pretty simple, but I guess I'm just in one of those moods... you know when you are so happy or so grateful you get emotional and even cry sometimes. I am a super emotional person... I can cry at the drop of a spoon. Seriously, a song on the radio can remind me of something and I will just BAWL!!!! Anything. So I am sorry to get emotional but I feel strongly about this. Ryan and I are blessed beyond measure. There is so much that we don't have (materialistic)... but those things to not matter to us. I have a husband that adores me, 3 amazing children (1 who has proven odds with her heart journey), roof over our head, food on our table, and that is pretty much all we need. I am so grateful for everything that has been placed in my life. Okay, okay... I'm doing it again... sorry!!!!!
