A little Advertising

I have been an Independant Beauty Consultant for Mary Kay for a little over a year now. Totally wish I could really dive into it, but I am already a little thinly spread. . .

Life is Beautiful!

i had that sweet aha moment today at the park with my 3 little riddles.
My daughter laid down on the blanket under the shade of the mesquite tree, a small breeze ruffled her red hair, and she said

'oh mom this feels good. laying here ont he blanket i just want to go to sleep.'

my son was burying cars in the sand, suddenly he gets up. . . tromps over to me, still laying on the blanket and gives me an unsolicited kiss,

and my baby boy pulls himself to his feet using my hip as his point of balance and says a determined, 'MA'.
SO simple, so sweet, so true and so forever!

thanks to this man who takes beautiful pictures. . . (must come from his beautiful perspective on the world). . . I was reminded to rember this moment.

Winners!. . . & losers. . .

FOR THE WINNERS:
Ok. . . i didn't forget.
I just got way way busy!
After inputing all of my FOUR entrants into the sophisticated hat random integer picker doo dad the LUCKY winner is. . . . .
da da da dum. ..

MY SUPER RAD Sister KAYCIE!

I wish I could say I had enough time to put something together for all ya all. But I am not that sophisticated or organized. Thanks for the hits though!

FOR THE LOSERS:
well loser (singular), which would be ME.
I totally crunched a parked car 2 days ago. Ran right into it and totally gave my car a super big munching.
Any guesses on the lucky number involved in this one?

2500. . . yep

2500 buck-a-roos. And not a scratch on the other car. So i guess that is good.

So here is to a better next couple of days. Hopefully no more stupid hitting-parked-cars-days!

The lucky random winner will then get a home-made treat made by yours truly!

Taco Tuesday

One of our new traditions is something we like to call Taco Tuesday. Thanks to Del Taco's three tacos for 2.09 and our desire to have dinner with Daddy after Mutual, we zip on over to the local Del Taco most Tuesdays for dinner.

I must admit I love this family tradition, unhealthy fast food aside, it is something my kids really look forward to. And often-times, come Saturday or Sunday they are already talking about the upcoming Taco Tuesday.

Alaina and Matt prefer no cheese, no lettuce and soft.

Chuck and I have recently added their Crunchy Fish Taco to our order. And don't forget the Cherry Coke for Chuck. (Don't worry I will be nice to the drive thru employee and you won't have to drink pee again sweetheart. . . to understand check out John Caparulo's Meet Cap for explanation -- long and short, the last person you want to get nasty with is the drive thru guy. . .who knows what he will do to your drink!)

And I think tonight we added to this fun family tradition. . . heads up and out as the kids get to drive down our street with their heads out the sun roof!

Do you have a favorite family tradition? What is it?
