I feel pretty awesome. :)

So last night we had our Mary Kay end of the year potluck/awards night. (For those of you scratching your heads, the Mary Kay seminar year runs July-June) And each consultant's family is invited to come and see their loved one praised for a job well done. I honestly didn't expect to get anything. I was shocked to come away with what I did. I was #3 in sales for our unit. Yay! I am also Queen of Sharing. Yay!! AND..... I was voted Miss Enthusiasm. I'm proud of myself. I wasn't even in the company the full year and look what I've accomplished. Now I'm determined to do more for next year. Not just for the ribbons and prizes, but for the sense of accomplishment I feel. I've begun to make something of myself. And I never knew I was capable of doing these things. So now I know I can achieve more. And I plan to. :)

Haha. So I'm supposed to take these with me to Seminar and wear them all. At the same time! I haven't figured out how yet, but the other ladies will sure show me how. :)

Aren't these just beautiful! I can't wait to wear them. I'm saving them for seminar.

You've had a birthday, shout hooray!!

My baby is 1! I just can't believe that an entire year has gone by. She's grown and changed so much it's unreal. She has been such a blessing in all of our lives. Her sweet smile and laugh light up the room. My heart swells whenever I look at her. And she loves her big sister. She always has a smile for Savannah. And Savannah is always able to make her laugh. I'm so grateful that I was blessed to have 2 beautiful little souls to call my own. And I'm so grateful for the past year. I couldn't possibly ask for more. Or for a better life. I love my little family.
We had her party out at my Dad's house. It was a small gathering. But it was wonderful. I made a cake, of course. and we had a BBQ. Good food, good dessert and good company. Just awesome for her first birthday. :)

Evie's birthday cake. :)

My Dad's solution to lighting the candle. Of course. :)

Evie and Grandpa

Marisa was feeding Evie her birthday cake while I was dishing everyone else up.

Oh my gosh! She got this little glow bug toy. It is SUCH a big hit! It was adorable. It plays when you squeeze it and the face lights up. Evelyn hugs it, sways back and forth, and hums along with the music. It's so sweet to look at.

We're trying to encourage the whole walking thing, But she's still refusing.

Her glow bug.

She got this new outfit. It's a little big but so adorable! And as you can see, she's still got the glow bug.

Evie's Washington Birthday

So my Ma wanted to have a birthday party with Evelyn while we were there. It was so close to her birthday that it worked. It was sweet. We had family and friends come to celebrate with us. It was a simple party. We had burgers and cupcakes. But it was great!

She did NOT want to get close to the flame. Lol. So I blew out the candle for her.

Washington #7- Let's pick some strawberries

We did this really cool thing. There's this place called Green Bluff. It's this big huge area full of all sorts of different farms. And you can go to the farms and pick your own fruits and vegetables. We went to the strawberry farm and picked ourselves some berries. It was a fun few hours with my mom and the kids. And it was a beautiful day!

Washington #6- Silverwood #2

These are the rest of the pictures from Silverwood. Enjoy!

We saw a magic show. Savannah loved it! She was completely enthralled the entire time. And it was really cool that they had pizza we could eat during the show.

Oh my gosh! This was the scariest ride in the whole park! It takes you up, and then drops you. It only lasted like 10 seconds total, but it freaked me out! It even got me to swear. Something I never do!

Washington #5- Silverwood #1

We went to a theme park in Athel Idaho (say that 10 times fast, lol). We had such a blast. I left Evelyn with a babysitter, so Savannah got to have an entire day with me. And I'm so happy about that. She doesn't really get just mommy time anymore.
The park has 2 sides to it. A water side and a dry side. I loved it! We started the day in the water park. It was windy so it was kinda cold. Which made it less fun. But we made the best of it. :) There's a big huge play area just for little kids that Savannah and I went through together. She didn't really like the water spraying on her head and face, but she was a trooper about it. She had a lot of fun on the water rides. Until we got dunked under water. And then she was done with the water side. But that's ok. The sun came out as we were heading to the other side of the park. The ride side. Woohoo! :)

Getting ready for rides!

The kids had a blast! But Savannah wouldn't go up in the jungle gym without me.

My Mother is disgusting! It's a freeze dried, salt and vinegar flavored, cricket.

And this is a Mexican flavored meal worm. Yuck yuck yuck!!!! They sell these things in the gift shop.

Getting ready to go on the roller coaster.

Savannah begged me to go on this ride, so I took her. However, that was a mistake. Before we even got to the drop off, she freaked out! Not a good thing. Poor kid.

This ride was so scary! I was hoarse by the time we were done. Really hoarse.
