Happiness is getting rewarded for all your hard work.Bradley received certificates of excellence in reading, science and spelling. He was also awarded a trophy because of the minutes he read during the year. He always exceeded the minutes required by his teacher each month.
Happiness is going out for shakes at the end of the school year. This has become a fun tradition.
Happiness is trying something new. On Memorial Day we took Bradley down to our friends farm and rode horses. Bradley has never been on a horse that wasn't hooked up to the thing that only allows them to go in a circle. (Like they always have at the fair.)
Happiness??? He really did like it, and so did his friend Landon, but they sure don't look happy do they? I had to use this photo because it made me laugh.
Happiness is finding your first water snake of the year.
Happiness is a peaceful walk through the gardens at Thanksgiving Point.
Happiness is someone treating you to lunch. (Bradley enjoyed feeding them too.)
Happiness is relaxing in the pool.
This is happiness! Being with the ones I love enjoying something so beautiful.
Happiness is hearing your baby talk.
Baby animals make everyone happy, don't they?!
Is milking a cow happiness? Wayne would say no after working on a dairy during his teen years.
This little pout face makes me happy. It's just the cutest little pout that comes on slowly, like she is melting or something. for some reason she wasn't very fond of the plastic cow that Bradley was milking. Elli knows how to "milk" the sympathy. ha ha!
Happiness is having this sweet little girl in our family. I often think about how the odds were so against her, and how hard she had to fight to live. She is an inspiration, and a joy!!!
For her, happiness is blowing dandelion seeds into the wind.

For her, happiness is blowing dandelion seeds into the wind. Happiness comes from the simple pleasures each day, and being with the people that we love. I am trying to focus more on those little magic moments that come and go so quickly. So let's enjoy the time we have with our loved ones, no matter what we are doing.

That is a lot of happiness! It made me want to go make happy memories. Catching snakes will always remind me of Bradley. I don't know if my boys would have been half as interested in snakes without his influence.
p.s. Happiness is also breakfast with friends. We really need to set a date!
What a great post. I love those doctored pictures at the end...too cute.
That was a really sweet post. It really is the little things that make us the happiest. Those pictures of Elli are so cute! We're sure glad she's around!
Your post brought tears to my eyes. I LOVE the picture of Elli's "pout" face. It is priceless. Tell Bradley congrats on all of his awards.
I love your inspiring reminder about finding joy each day in the little things. Happiness is... finding a new family blog to keep in touch!

They are just so cute! And way to go, Bradley, on having a great school year.
