The little things in life

On Sunday, we went to a BBQ down at Copperton Park. It got me thinking about high school. Copperton Park was theeee place to go when I was in high school. My friends and I would always go there, whether it was to sneak into the "haunted" places, ask a boy we've never talked to to a dance, or street racing. Some of these things were so not smart (i.e. street racing on Bacchus highway) but, I never realized how much I cherished all those little moments. While they were happening, I didn't realize that years later I would look back on those and think, "Hey, these are some of the best moments of my life, so make the best of it!" There are some days that I wish I could go back to a time when things were so simple like that. When you didn't have to have the stress of being married, trying for a baby, paying bills, etc. but, I need to remember that all the little things that happen in my life right now, I will look back one day and realize how much they mean to me. I have a problem of hurrying through everything. I hate being late for anything, so I will sit and stress if we aren't at least 10 minutes early. Lately, though, I've been trying to slow down and really take everything in so I don't have the stress that is totally not needed. So here are some small things that have happened in the past week that I will cherish for the rest of my life.

 Getting matching rings with my sisters! They all say our nicknames. Tianna is T-Hoe, I am Tayla Tot, Talia is Hee Haw. They all have infinity signs on them. As soon as Tianna turns 18, we will be getting sister tattoos that are infinity signs. Kinda silly rings, but so much fun!

A little family BBQ with my sister. Tony is awesome at the BBQ. There is nothing quite as nice as sitting on the porch,. drinking a beer, and eating good food while watching Gypsie run around playing.

Seeing Sophie, my niece, and Tony together. Sophie gets really scared of boys, no matter who it is. So this moment when she walked up to Tony and wanted to hold his hand was huge. She was just eating cake and talking away with him. My.favorite.picture.ever.

My nephew, Hudson, any time I get to spend with this cutie is worth it!

 Going down the slides at Copperton with Sophie. She wanted me to sit on her lap while going down so she could protect me like I was protecting her on the big slides. she is such a sweetie.

Getting pictures like this while I am at work. Tony will send me a funny picture of him and Gypsie every night that I work just to say that he misses me. I honestly look forward to those every time.

 Cafe Rio and Farmer's market on a Saturday morning! Nothing better.

 Working with my best friend after I haven't seen him for weeks. The plus with this, Shark hats got left behind. I got a good laugh out of this, not sure if anyone else did.

 Tony being obsessed with his car. Dragging me to take pictures of it because he just cleaned it. :) He's an awesome photographer and I kind of like watching him bending down to get those shots. ;)
