So since Brentley is truly our Valentine, we wanted to do stuff for her. I woke up early that morning and ran to the store. I had made my mind up that Bisquick didn't have eggs in the mix and I wanted to make her heart shaped pancakes. So I substituted the egg with applesauce. They turned out good enough for her to eat (and enjoy) but neither Paul nor I really wanted them, so Paul cooked breakfast for us.

Brentley was NOT into taking pictures before church.(Patience Paul, Patience! Ha ha) Does anyone else have Sunday mornings like this before church? I'm usually such in a tizzy by the time I get there that I can't function.
After a nap and church she was ready to par-tay!"What, this is for me? Even after I threw that fit with Daddy!"
She got some bubbles, magnet letters, a Veggie Tales movie and Daddy went and bought her a special teddy bear.
She was so happy! Not really about the gifts, but about the packages they came in.The Easter Bunny may have it easy this year if he would just bring empty boxes.
That afternoon we just hung around the house and Paul grilled steaks for dinner.
On another note:
1. My awesome, selfless, wonderful, hottie of a husband makes me smile all day everyday whether it is a good morning kiss, phone call to ask how my day is going, the sight of his truck coming home after work or the nightly good night kiss. (Can you tell who I love??!!! :) He is going to kill me for calling him a "hottie" on the blog. Ha ha!
Sweet Love
3. My families keep me smiling~ We have such a loving family that I couldn't be any more proud to be apart of. We are so blessed to have wonderful parents (and grandparents for Brentley). They are truly so special to us and we are so thankful to have their unconditional love and support.
Yes, Brentley is the only one looking at the camera
4. Moving on to some materialistic things~ Coming home to a clean house (the smell of Lysol mopped on the floor), the smell of dinner cooked when I get home, nightly family rides to talk about our day, a clean car (inside and out!), a full tank of gas when you thought you were empty, a unexpected letter or card in the mail.
5. Comments!!!! Whether it is a stranger in a store, random person you may run into shopping, a friend, a family member, or blog friend (or blog stalker, ha ha)....

My friend, Summer at http://thedeepefamily.blogspot.com/ (Ok, so I don't know how to tag someones name as a link so bear with me) received a blog award for the blog that makes you smile and she is passing it along to me. .
Now I must tell you 7 things that make me smile and pass it along to 5 more people. It's not hard for me to think of 5 things that make me smile so here goes:
1. My awesome, selfless, wonderful, hottie of a husband makes me smile all day everyday whether it is a good morning kiss, phone call to ask how my day is going, the sight of his truck coming home after work or the nightly good night kiss. (Can you tell who I love??!!! :) He is going to kill me for calling him a "hottie" on the blog. Ha ha!
I chose a fun picture of Paulie. Can you tell I'm ready for summer!
2. My precious blessing that I get the honor to call my daughter, Brentley. Seeing her sweet face smiling from ear to ear, listening her her talk all day, getting her sweet "Oh's" (that's her kisses) keeps me smiling all day.
Sweet Love3. My families keep me smiling~ We have such a loving family that I couldn't be any more proud to be apart of. We are so blessed to have wonderful parents (and grandparents for Brentley). They are truly so special to us and we are so thankful to have their unconditional love and support.
Yes, Brentley is the only one looking at the camera4. Moving on to some materialistic things~ Coming home to a clean house (the smell of Lysol mopped on the floor), the smell of dinner cooked when I get home, nightly family rides to talk about our day, a clean car (inside and out!), a full tank of gas when you thought you were empty, a unexpected letter or card in the mail.
And the sight of this little guy first thing in the morning makes me smile!!!!
5. Comments!!!! Whether it is a stranger in a store, random person you may run into shopping, a friend, a family member, or blog friend (or blog stalker, ha ha)....Sweet comments always make me smile. That is something I'm trying to work on in my life, if I notice something I like I try to give a positive comment about it. It may be something simple, but just a friendly exchange at the gas station could make someone's day. With that being said, I LOVE COMMENTS PEOPLE!!!
I really don't know if I have 5 people that read my blog so here are a couple of fellow bloggers that I know stop by every now and then.
Jennifer at http://burnett3.blogspot.com/ ~ Jennifer and I met through her parents and I love that we can share mommy stories with each other. Her little boy is Pax that I wrote about earlier in the month.
Caroline at http://carolineandfredsmithwick.blogspot.com/~ Caroline and I go way back. I met her when she was in 3rd grade (probably earlier than that), her mom was my teacher. I love checking out her blog daily, we have so much in common that it's crazy!(Other than the exercising part, lol) We never get to see each other and work less than a mile away from one another and we run into each other on a flight to Cancun! Crazy!
Amy at http://thebeasleys2002.blogspot.com/~ Amy and I met through my aunt (actually Paul's aunt) Barbara they used to work together. She randomly found my blog through the girl that designs blogs. Amy's husband is a Memphis firefighter (there is always a special bond with us fire wives) and she has a precious son Mills that is adorable.
I'm not going to tag any one else since I'm really not sure if I have any other blog readers.
