Things that make me smile

Every Sunday night, I review my past week by scrolling through my cell phone pictures.  Some weeks, there's not much to look at, but other weeks I have tons of pictures that just make me smile. Thankfully, this was one of those weeks!  These are what made me smile this week:

This is one of our oldest and dearest friends in the world, Al. We used to be inseparable, but when the triplets came, our world was turned upside-down, and we weren't able to spend time with our friends like before. It doesn't matter, we still love this guy like our own brother. I am SO HAPPY I got to see him for a few minutes (along with his awesome wife) on Sunday.

This chick was busting at the seams to go see The Wolverine on opening day.  The movie was awesome and she was on cloud nine.  But just when we didn't think she could be any happier, she saw the newest Hunger Games poster.  Now that she's seen Wolverine, the countdown to Catching Fire in November is ON!

I just realized she has on her Hunger Games shirt, too! LOL)

My nephew, Adam, and his family came over from Georgia on Thursday night so we could celebrate his oldest son, Patrick's birthday.  Getting to see my sister and her whole family all together in the middle of the week was awesome!  I just love this picture of Jameson and my great niece, Jessie.  They are like two peas in a pod!

I am so happy to know that potato chips share the same love for me, that I have for them!

This is Marty's super-duper homemade hamburger, on a Mrs. Evelyn's/Renee's jalapeño cheese roll.  Oh my goodness, it was AWESOME!

Not only did we get to spend time with my sister and her family this week, we got to see a ton of Marty's family at our great-nephew's 2nd birthday party.  They live on a farm and all the "city folk" got to take a tour of their crops, garden, and chicken houses.  Of course, the kids (and some of the adults) loved the tractor the most!

This was in my fortune cookie on Friday after the movies.  How appropriate is this at this time in my life?  I sure hope it comes true!!

These cupcakes come from Wal-Mart, of all places, and have to be some of the best cupcakes I've ever had in my life.  They are vanilla cupcakes, with vanilla bean icing, with vanilla cream in the center.  I could eat a dozen at a time! Thank goodness they only come 4 to a package!  (they aren't made by Wal-Mart, but you get them in the same place as all the other bakery items)

And seriously, how cute is little Easton in his overalls?  I dare you to look at this picture and not smile!

I hope all of you have a week FULL of smiles, too!
