Today's post are my FAVORITE 31 things of May. I am thankful for each and everyone!
1. Puddle Jumping - Avery has jumped in every puddle this month and there has been a lot. 3 changes of clothes sometimes in 1 day.
2. Chocolate Milk - Avery's drink of choice and hearing her ask for it never gets old.
3. One More...PopSicle - Avery's favorite treat. We had to make the limit at 2 or she would continue to ask and eat 1 more....
4. Garden Show - First Sign of Spring
5. Great Neighbors - We have wonderful neighbors and they have an adorable little girl named Hadley that Avery loves to play. Avery stalks their house to see if she is out.
6. Sprinklers - Another sign summer is around the corner. Pure joy...
7. Beautiful Spring Days
8. JCCF Spring Grants - This spring we awarded over $80,000 to deserving organizations serving Johnson County. Makes work such a joy!
9. Fishing - First trip fishing resulted in no fish, but a great memory.
10. Windows down
11. Farmer's Market - The start of my Saturday morning routine for summer. Love spending the 3 hours with one of my best friends. I always am ready for it to end by Fall, but miss the time with Jenny.
12. Mother's Day - I felt truly appreciated this year. Josh got me a beautiful necklace with mine, Avery's and the new baby's birthstone. Avery also decorated a flower pot for me (with the help from Daddy and my wonderful sis-n-law).
13. Tractor Rides/Spring Planting - I love that we are able to still be apart of the agriculture community. This industry has taught me so much. I hope Avery has the same wonderful experiences we did.
14. Garden Planting= Planting the garden is always back breaking work, but oh so worth it for fresh produce later in the summer.
15. JCCF Work Dinner - Meeting people that love Johnson County and our community as much as I do. Makes my job easy and very rewarding.
16. Summer Maxi's - One of the best parts of summer especially to accommodate my ever growing belly.
17. Growing Belly - Yes, I am not one that loves to be pregnant, but my growing belly is a blessing knowing that I have another special healthy gift from God inside me.
18. Tan Lines - My husband definitely has the best tan lines! He also is adorable when he is tan! :)
19. Dancing with my Princess - Avery loves to dance with mommy. This consists of twirling in circles and I get really dizzy.
20. Playdates with Friends - Thankful for my long time friends and their kiddos.
21. Kyle's Birthday - I hated this guy a lot when we were growing up, but it turned out he is OK. Now, I consider him one of my best friends. Plus he married the sweetest girl!
22. Strawberries on the Square - Another reason why I love Franklin.
23. 2 Year Old Ponytails - The sweetest ponytail is that of a 2 year old.
24. Memorial Day - A day spent with family. This year it was just Josh, Avery and I playing/working in the yard most of the day.
25. Piggy and Paci - I appreciate these two things because they can provide a sort of comfort to my little girl that I can't even begin to understand. P.S. The Paci will be gone very soon!!!
26. Flowers - Wedding season begins and my front porch flower pots always puts a smile on your face.
27. Mowed Grass - The smell of fresh cut grass can change my mood in a instance.
28. Parent's Anniversary - 36 years and still counting. So thankful for their wonderful example and love.
29. Milkshakes - My drink of choice!
30. Avery Kisses - She grabs my cheeks and plants a big kiss on my lips. This will NEVER get old!
31. Avery's Last day in the Monkey Class - Avery moves to the Frog class and leaves my favorite teacher Paula. It will be a rough transition for Avery and Mommy.....
