Paul Mitchell Core Grad!!

Kelsey started beauty school in April at Paul Mitchell School and just took her Core Practical and Written test today...ALL day and she did GREAT!!! Paul Mitchell just opened up a new school in Phoenix so Kelsey drives quite a ways everyday but it's an awesome school- so big and pretty too. She gets to start working on the floor (in the salon) next week so if you want to get a cut or color, go see Kelsey :) We are so proud of you Kels!!

Hasta Luego Robbie

Robbie left to go sell security systems in Seattle for the summer so we had a little goodbye dinner at Tia Rosa. Rob couldn't be there so we missed him but the rest of us enjoyed that scrumptious Mexican food and great company :) We miss you Robbie! Good luck.

Cinco de Mayo

You won't believe what happened yesterday! It was about 6:30 in the evening and Robbie came into the kitchen and said "Mom, it's Cinco de Mayo, we have to do something!" Then he said, "I've got it- a pinata party". He then gave me an assignment to call all the nieces and nephews and invite them to a pinata party at our house at 7:30. He left to go buy everything and told me to call him with a headcount. I called and told him that only 2 of my siblings and their kids could come (about a dozen) and he said great. He returned just after 7:00 with FIVE LIFESIZE PINATAS and enough candy to fill them all twice!!!!! I couldn't believe my eyes. Robbie was SOOO excited. He got us all in an assembly line to fill them and then put up rope outside to hang them. Well you can imagine the squeals of delight from little cousins as they realized they were at a party like no other they'd ever been to. Their parents looked at me like "what are we supposed to do with ALL this candy?!" hee hee. Even Luke who hardly ever talks when he's over here, could not stop laughing and jumping up and down. Robbie let them all take several turns and gave each of them a nice sized grocery bag to take home their "goods". They could hardly carry their bags they were so heavy. McKensie brought 2 of her nieces over too and they loved it. Robbie has a huge heart and is turning out to be SOOO much like his dad...."if 1 is good then 10 is better!" It was a night we will all fondly remember, THANK YOU Robbie for thinking big and making our Cinco de Mayo the BOMB!!

Kelsey's favorite was her "Bratz" doll...it's almost the same size as she is!

Tanner patiently waited to bludgeon "Blue", the last pinata to burst :)

HANNAH MONTANA BABY!

Kelsey was "Hannah Montana" for my niece Sadie Carter's birthday party. There were 17 little 8yr old girls dressed in their "Hannah" clothes and wigs and when they saw Kelsey come down the stairs to perform they went wild! She taught them a dance to one of "her" songs and then they performed it for her-it was priceless! Go Kelsey!!

Recognition Dinner

Rob and I have started a new business and things are going REALLY great! You can click on the links above to look at what we are doing-it's super fun. Anyway, we were invited to a special Recognition Dinner and got to spend the day learning and meeting people that we are in business with. For dinner they served us steak and shrimp and had gorgeous fresh flower arrangements on the tables. We had a terrific time and are so happy about our success so far. If you haven't tried VERVE or VEMMA, you gotta, you will love it.
