Five Favorites- Second Time

So, I have only participated in this once, because I am not good at thinking of favorites.  BUT, Jenna, over at Call Her Happy did something cool, I didn't think she'd mind if copied.  She picked her five summer favs...and I will do the same.

Drum roll please....

Well, hopefully it won't be too scandalizing to anyone if I let you all in on a secret.  This summer, my side o' the family had a reunion of sorts up at my Uncle's cottage.  Although it was beautiful, turns out six siblings/spouses/22 kids/ and a set of parents with Buckley blood...MIGHT end up in a bit of drama and not relaxing fun.  That was the bummer.  The REALLY cool part and the take-away I have was watching my boys play with their cousins.  Lil' A was in heaven, and the it filled my heart with joy.

My parents and all their grandchildren minus one born and two in the womb!

This one.  He drives me crazy, but this summer would have been impossible without him.  I could carry on for pages and pages about how much I love my husband (despite our many, MANY fights) but then, I'd start crying.  All I can say is I have never met a man as good as him, and when I reflect on it, I CANNOT believe God saw fit to give me a partner such as he.

And he is so freakin' handsome

Um, if I say buying stuff does that make me shallow.  This summer I got an iphone and a new mini-van.  My life rocks.

Watching my boys become friends.  That happened this summer.  Joey got a personality (for better or worse- sorry sweet stuff, we love you) and Aaron noticed.  I cannot tell you how cool their friendship is for me.

And...drum roll please...my favorite part of the summer?  It being over!  Newborn and my favorite season, FALL!  Here we come!
