What's On My Happy List?

A whole lot of random...

Conference Crepes! Have you tried this Belgian spread? One Chicago columnist described it as peanut butter and Biscoff cookies having a baby. So true. It is YUMMY! I first had it at Bruges Waffles and Frites downtown a few years ago. Now you can actually buy it. Grandma bought some from Trader Joes. Thought we'd have some with our crepes, but I opened the jar and approximately half a teaspoon was left. haha.

After Conference on Saturday we had got to pick up acorns from the front lawn. About fifty billion of them. If it isn't apples we are picking up around here it's acorns!

A few weeks ago I was released as Relief Society President. This beautiful bouquet of flowers was given to me from the Bishop and his wife. So super sweet. I cried.  After serving 4 years and 2 1/2 months it was certainly time to move on, but I grew to love that calling very much... so some mixed emotions for sure! 

  My former presidency. LOVE these ladies. {They are all old enough to be my mother.} So much of life experience, wisdom and knowledge to gain from them. The age gap was never, ever an issue for me. We worked so well together and had fun too. Gonna miss that association. This was our last shibang together, in the kitchen providing a luncheon for the Senior Stake Singles Social. 

At the school counseling office waiting to meet with Kyleigh's counselor about college! {Yikes} Kate was holding both Dad's and Kyleigh's hand as we waited. So stink'in cute.  

Emmsie always has so much homework. Blah! Here she is off to a study group with friends on a Friday night. Who does that? She was looking so studious I had to take a pic. Surprisingly they accomplished quite a bit of studying together.   

Hannah's first choir concert of the year.

Brie has become quite the pro at making scrambled eggs. Here she is on a Saturday morn making some for Kate. 

I hosted a little Vampire inspired gathering to watch the Season 5 opener of Vampire Diaries.

Vampire Blood is hand sanitizer from Bath n Body Works. "Love sucks" applies to vampires only. just say'in. ;)

I tend my nephew a couple of days a week. He and Kate are the same age and go to preschool together. I've been taking pics of the two of them at play for some time now, but have never gotten around to posting any.  So here's to you Kate and Taylor!

                                         
the hubs actually took this pic...its my absolute favorite of the two of them! 

One afternoon we found a grasshopper {without a leg} so that provided some heavy duty entertainment for all three of us...

These pictures were taken way back in Feb thru May. Fun to see how they've grown...

Bubble time!

Look'in for worms on a rainy day!

Go'in for walks! around the block or to the church grounds with a "hill". We are always lugg'in a wagon, stroller or cart.  

watering the plants!

                                                                                    
also one of my fav's...

Digg'in in the dirt!

Just because!

Taylor helping Kate get ready for the day!

Found a friend!

This is how I often feel after tending the two of them...wacked up side down or just like Kate... wanting to be on the ground with my face covered. They are stink'in cute, but boy, between the two of them, they can drive me bonkers!
