Ten Things to Smile About: April

Another month has literally come and gone, so it's time for Ten Things to Smile About!  This is a monthly meme I host (usually the closest Tuesday to the end of the month-often the last) where you can look back and find things that made you smile.  I started this meme after a really hard month where I need to refocus and find something good.










So grab the button and link up- it makes me smile!  Oh and I just realized I started this meme- at the end of April two years ago!! 

Ten Things that Made Me Smile in April

1. An afternoon date with my husband which included lots of shopping and dinner
The Feast from Famous Daves-meat was missing in pic as it was already on our plates!

2.Getting my new laundry room decor hung up! Though I still hate laundry

3. Lucas being student of the month!

4. An inspiring/uplifting weekend of General Conference

5. My new shoes- bad boys make me 5 1/2 taller!  (got these on my date)

6. Getting Alex registered for Kindergarten- smiling because she is so excited about it

7. My little guy- even though he is starting to think he needs to act two

8. Being told by my daughter I should just be grateful I have legs- it's pretty funny now.

9. Pictures like these will always make me smile

10.  Pirates in the house!

So what made you smile this month?  Can't wait to see your lists!
Since it is Tuesday I am linking up with IA And Shawn




UPDATED: Sorry linky wasn't working-- using this linky again today instead.

  17. I just caught your laundry post too, lol! I don't mind laundry, it's a grocery shopping that drives me nuts... probably because I don't like to cook either.

    And those shoes are pretty darn cute :)
