Joy

Recently I was inspired by my friend's daughter who is just starting her journey in life and blogging.
It reminded me of why I started this blog 10 years ago. First and foremost to keep a journal of our life for the kids. Secondly was to spread joy.
It has become increasingly more popular to use social media as a way to tote why your political opinion is better than others, air dirty laundry of a myriad of things, complain, on and on.
2018 I hope to get back to keeping my family's memories on here and spreading joy in a dark world.
I hope that y'all will join me on this ride!
Merry Christmas from our home to yours!

California Adventure 2011- Part One

In August, We journeyed out to San Diego for a family vacation of sorts. (Ben was also doing training so it was a little business mixed with pleasure!)

We enjoyed being together and showing the kids some of the sights. I wish that it could have been more but I was fully in the nausea/barfing mode!

A little sass on Del Mar Beach

After the birds attacked our food and tried to carry it away!

Isaac with Papa Vince

Kendall fell in love with Rosie!

Guess where we are?!

Kendall's favorite ride!

Can't beat the Muppets in 3D!

Right before Isaac asked Mickey, "Where are Buzz and Woody?"

I must say she is Quite the Catch!

We LOVED the Aladdin show!

The Mickey/Minnie attire was of course made by me for our special trip!

Week 22 of 52 (First Beach trip of the year)

Here is our first beach trip of the year. We went yesterday to Onslow beach aboard Camp Lejeune. It made it a lot more fun to have my friend Nicole & her 3 boys join us! Kendall even ventured a few steps into the water which is major progress! Kendall wanted to take some pictures so this is one of hers!
