Happiness is...

a Friday afternoon playdate at a good friend's house!

These two nuts were so happy that there was water in the shade.  Holla!

 

It's sliding on your back...

 

or tummy, and making a big splash.

 

Tada!

 

Happiness is chillin' with your girlfriend in the big chairs...

or in the sandbox.

For this little lady, it's hanging out in her mama's arms for most the night, but finally realizing it's not so bad to look at the sky...

or sit up all by herself.  Big girl!

 

These kids were so happy Friday night that I couldn't get them to leave until almost 9:00!  Thanks, April for having us over.  Such a fun summer night.

 

 

Saturday morning we got to hang out with these two brothers in town from Abilene.

For these four kids, happiness is definitely bowling at Main Event!

And this little girl is all about some racing at the arcade--she raced motorcycles, snow mobiles and cars.  Get it girl!

For me and the hubs, happiness is celebrating 11 years of marriage at Javier's on a DATE!  Yes, we actually went on a date and it was awesome!

He makes me HAPPY!  Happy Anniversary, babe!

This little backyard pool makes our big kids very happy.

 

And maybe a little goofy, too.  J tried to pose like L.  Ha!

Happiness is throwing the Frisbee a million times for J...

running through the wacky sprinklers for all three kids...

and racing around the obstacle courses that they made up!

Oh summer, we love you.

This little girl was happy to sit in her daddy's lap and watch all the action.

 

She was also happy with her first real food--Bananas!

 

This is pretty tasty, mom! 

I'd say we had a great weekend, doing what makes us happy.  It doesn't get much better than that.
