Happiness Is...Volume 3, Part 2

Happiness is...
* Getting A's on my assignments
* Adding smiley faces on our family chart
* Getting together with old friends on a short notice
* Ezril's laugh when his brothers do something funny
* My boys' naive humor with a whoopie cushion :)
* Uncle Cabot taking Salem to school
* Getting the railing put back up on the porch (after two long years)
* The fact that it's starting to get dark earlier...easier bedtimes.
* Darrell telling me that the pasta I made was fantastic (first time in our 8 yrs of marriage)
* Getting a turtle sandbox for free
* My boys having a blast with the sprinklers and slip-n-slide this summer
* Salem making fossils with chalk & leaves
* Oaklen's imagination and sound effects
* Salem collecting rocks...just like I used to
* Ezril being old enough to go to nursery
* Being able to talk about my studies with my husband
* Darrell fixing our van and the guys at the shop being impressed with the good job
* Email communication (Have I said this enough?)
* Being able to pay bills online
* Feeling needed by family and friends

* My boys playing "TV" with a big box
* "Firecracker tomatoes" exploding in your mouth
* Going to the Aerospace Museum at Hill Air Force Base, it's free!
* Being able to clean the Salt Lake Temple one night. I vacuumed all the spiral stairs up to the top of the 8th floor and under the 4 spires.
* The boys taking Costco field trips with Grandma & Grandpa
* Oaklen singing Take Me Out To the Ball Game "Buy me some crackers and cracker jacks..."
