My Favorite Things

Trendy Treehouse's Shutter Love Tuesday's theme this week is Favorite Things, so I thought I'd do a separate post to participate, because I have oogles of pictures for this very topic.

While I do enjoy a good book, a cup of coffee, a good game of volleyball, awesome friends and family, Gator Football, and any hike or nature trail, my favorite things are most definitely Chris and Kodi (sorry awesome friends and family, you came in a close second!).

Oh, how both of my boys love the water!!  We've actually trained Kodi to sit on our laps so that he doesn't just swim and swim and swim out in the river or ocean.  (Great, now I've got "Just Keep Swimming" from Finding Nemo in my head!)

I love that Kodi actually smiles when he's happy.  That's a for real, genuine, thanks guys I love you so much, lets go swimming AGAIN, kind of Kodi smile.

Here's my ham of a dog smiling it up for the camera again.  My MIL likes to get Kodi the most annoying toys that make lots of noise, and he absolutely loves them.  This is a little squirrel thing that gets so slobbery and disgusting, but makes the Kodi-man happy, so we let him play with it.  How can you say no to that face?!

I took this picture on our way to the Farmer's Market.  It's so telling of how they both are.  Chris has got a short leash to keep Kodi close, but it's not tight because Kodi loves being right next to him.  Kodi is a little ADD though, and keeps constant surveillance of his surroundings.

I love this grin, even when it's from him being SO filthy dirty after running or rolling in something.  It had rained a lot this day, and Kodi took full advantage of the mud puddles.  He's exhausted and so happy in this picture...the best!

My husband is hot.  He's my absolute favorite!!

Kodi goes outside quite a bit to sunbathe and just 'be' with nature.  We've got a bench out by this patch of grass that he loves to lay in...it's nice to just go out there and sit and relax.  Believe it or not, I do it...on occasion!!

And finally...my two studs on the water.  When they're happy, I'm happy.  They make my heart smile!!

I know, I know, I'm so very lucky and so very blessed.  That's enough of me being mushy though, I'd love to hear what your favorite things are...please share!
