Simple Things Sunday #3

Moments from this week.

I'm sure I've written once or twice about what an amazing husband I have. 
He is the best of the best. 

He has THE biggest heart and ALWAYS thinks of his family first. 
He is beyond thoughtful, and always tries to make each and every little thing we do special. 

This weekend we celebrated his very first birthday as a Daddy. There is so much I wish I could of done for him, but we kept it simple. We spent Saturday taking a mini road trip up to Payson, AZ to cool off and find some fall colors (something I'm a little obsessed with).

There is not a whole lot to do in Payson, but it was spending time alone with my family, doing something we love to do (mini road trips!), that made it such a perfect day.

How did I know it was a perfect day? My husband and I talked about how perfect it was a million times today. It really is the simple things. 

Plus we found the most beautiful spot where I set up the tripod and took some of the most perfect family photos! 

Here are just a few! 

Thanks for stopping by this week, Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Simple Things Sunday #2

Moments from this week.

This was a big moment for me. The first time since I was about seven months pregnant, I was able to get my wedding ring on! I was heartbroken when I was pregnant and had to take it off. I am proud to be married to the most amazing man, and missed wearing it every day. I know every girl says the same thing, but I do believe my wedding ring is by far the most beautiful ring I've ever seen. It's absolutely perfect, and I am beyond thrilled to be wearing it again! 

I already know moments, and pictures like this, are ones that I will cherish for the rest of my life. My little man cried and cried, overtired and teething are not a good mix. The feeling I get once I calm him down, and once he finally falls asleep with his arms wrapped around me is truly priceless. 

Speaking of teething. My little man officially has TWO little teeth. As much as I already miss that little gummy smile, these little two teeth make him even cuter... and I'm not sure how that is even possible! 

 This weekend we went to a fall league baseball game with my parents to watch some of the young Cubs prospects. The best part about fall league games. Tickets are dirt cheep ($6) the stadiums are empty, and you can sit wherever you want. We had an amazing time, and my husband even caught a ball for Jackson! After the game, Ryan took Jackson to the dugout, and all the Cubs players signed the ball for him. I will never forget the huge smile on my husband's face. He was SO excited to not only catch a ball for our little man, but then getting it autographed too!

Best. Daddy. Ever.  

Jackson LOVES the outdoors. Saturday we took a drive to the park to enjoy the gorgeous morning, and let Jackson hang out in the grass. The weather could not have been better, and it was so relaxing to just hang out the three of us.

I've been following one of the most adorable blogs, Simple As That, for some time now and finally decided to join in on "Simple Things Sunday."

So, what exactly is Simple Things Sunday?

"This weekly photo share is all about taking time to photograph the everyday details that make your life unique, beautiful, and special. Each Sunday we gather here to share our photos with each other. To enjoy the beauty that can be found in the ordinary and to be reminded of just how important the simple things are." 

I think this is such a beautiful idea, and I can't wait to share with you each Sunday!

Moments from this week.

While on a walk this weekend with my family, my little man (with help from his Daddy) picked these BEAUTIFUL flowers for me. Made me smile so big! I wish there would of been a way to keep them forever.

This week, with the weather cooling off in Arizona, I took multiple walks to the park with my little man. He absolutely loves the park, where we enjoy our walk around a lake and feed the ducks! Seeing the excitement on his face and his eyes light up, is priceless.

I never want to forget the look on my little man's face, when we let him do something he is not supposed to be doing, just yet. This morning, my husband was "sharing" his breakfast, and Jackson could not get enough of "eating" off of Daddy's spoon. 

My baby sister moved to California about a month ago. She means the world to me, and I miss her so much, so I was crazy excited when she came home for the week. Family is by far the most important thing to me, and I absolutely LOVE seeing my family with my little man. He is the most precious little boy, and loved like no other. 

Hope everyone had an amazing weekend!
