Does this not make your heart smile?

I recently won a hat for voting for my friend Virginia on the Facebook Fan page of Heartsmiles.

 

I am head over heels in love with this hat.  My daughter, Eden, loves it too.  I took her outside to snap some pics and she was running all over the place smiling and giggling.  Thank you so much Abbie from Heartsmiles.  You Rock!  Your mission of making my heart (and my girly girl's) smile was accomplished.

 

Going green (or pink)

Can I just say how much these shopping bags have made grocery shopping easier?  There, I said it!  I found myself throwing away majority of the plastic bags from my weekly grocery trips; which, resulted in half my trash container with crushed up bags. Frankly, it didn't seem right to fill up my trash can so quickly.  The result:  5 'green' or pink breast cancer awareness bags.  They are so nice because they can hold so much more and I can reuse them every week.  In addition, I've contributed to a great cause that is near and dear to my heart.  It's amazing that I never get more than can fit in those five bags.  I don't know how that happens but it works every time.  All I have to say is, why haven't I been doing this since they offered them?  I encourage you to 'go green' or 'pink' or whatever rocks your boat:)

Lincoln is 10 months

I can't get over the fact that my sweet boy will be 1 year old soon.  I love that his little personality is coming out.  He is such a fun baby.  He gets so excited when Daddy comes home from work and loves having his sister play with him (especially when she plays tea party and lets him have some cake).  Here are some pictures of his most recent new happenings:

He figured out all by himself how to drink out of a straw.  He got a hold of Eden's one day and within a few seconds, I could see apple juice coming up. 

  

Every time I say 'touchdown' he raises is hands.  He is so cute.  Who Dat!

 
 

His first Mardi Gras.  Throw me somethin' Mista!

  

His first Valentine from Uncle Chris, Aunt Becca and Eli.

 

This was Lincoln's first zoo trip and he did great.  I think Eden enjoyed it a lot more but we all had fun.  Yay for zoo membership!

 

Waving to the animals (he loves waving to people)

Happy Valentine's Day!
