San Diego

We had so much fun on our vacation.

I have so many pictures I want to post.

So I will just start with some of my favorites.

Sunday doughnut day.

Remember that Sundays

are a day to celebrate?

Everyday is a day to rejoice!

Psalms 118:24

This is the day the Lord has made;

Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

I say this verse every morning

when I wake up

before my feet hit the floor.

But Sundays in our

house is doughnut day.

It is all about traditions and

having one more thing

to weave our family together

stronger than ever.

Don't think that a

family tradition

has to be something complicated.

It can be as simple as

having doughnuts

every Sunday morning.

It can be as simple as

have movie night with

microwave popcorn

every Friday night.

Conner was rejoicing

today because

I assured him that

I picked out the doughnut

with the most sprinkles.

Families rock!

What family tradition do you have?

Vacations wear us out!

This post hardly needs words.

Just a photo of my sunburnt, tired little girl sleeping in past 9 am.

This child never sleeps in.

She must be plum-tuckered out!!!!!

How can they sleep like this?

I am a "don't touch me" person

when I am sleeping.

Everyone else in my family is a

"sleep on top of each other" person.

I am glad they have each other for that.

Everyone should have one of these.

This is what I found when I walked

into the office the other day.

Everyone should have one of

these in their home office.

A little boy perched on

their shoulders.

Do you think Jim is getting a lot of work done?

Kids live here

Conner is in a paper plane making phase.

This is only a fraction of the paper planes

floating around our house.

Someday when my kids are grown up

I will yearn for paper planes laying all around.

Silly moms!

This is for my fellow blogger Lynnette.

Just so she knows she is

not the only spazzy mom out there!

I know I feel better knowing I am

not the only silly mom out there.

The top video is Callie and I

trying to cheer Emma up.

She was sad because we gave our dog

Petey to some good friends of ours.

Callie and I were on our way home

from the childbirth class I teach.

The second video is the one

Emma sent back to us.

I think we cheered her up a bit.
