MY BEAUTY PAGEANT BABY

This past weekend we traveled out to Kentucky for the Natural Dolls State Finals Ava was in the age division of 12-24 months and did wonderful! We are so proud of our princess..Here are some cute pictures sorry there aren't more but I needed 5 more hands and a nanny! Nana came along to help with Max and support our girl, but you run around with your head cut off literally the whole day! Now I rest...o wait theres another in September ..Can't wait to share more pictures!



And all winnings "cash" go into her savings for college, I've been asked alot about my pageant motives and we think it's just cute and fun playing dress up for little girls. And mostly because she is too young for sports yet, and this is a great way for her to win some money for college oh yea and well i just love seein her all dolled up! ;)
Here are some of her portfolio pictures we are starting to put together we have one Natural and one "choice of alfit" which can be a costume or just any old cute alfit such as back to school theme Ava's was hawaiin girl theme.

Pool Parties & Mini Van Mama's

So this past weekend we headed out to Cincinati for a pool party at our Aunt Patricia's house. We had such a great time swimming..and eating..and playing with all Ava's cousins. Ok I won't lie my favorite part was lying in the raft floating away toning everyone out and tryin to catch some rays haha! Here's some pics from our day in the sun!









On another note, how many of you are mini van moms? Or SUV Mama's. What does it say about you? I have literally spoken my feelings that I don't like nor will I ever own a mini van. Well any VAN for that matter. There just not cute. There just not hot. Nor will I be looked at as "cool" and "young" any longer once stepping foot into one. OK well after lugging in two carseats to my once nice malibu I figured out why moms , Families find them so convienent. Not only the extra space..and opening side doors..The extra's like storage and a dvd player for the kids. (Well I suppose that can come with any vehicle these days, but call me crazy I wasnt about to "pimp" out my ride to a malibu. So I took the plunge I searched and searched for Suv's that made me happy and without the hubs approving my Escalade we opted for a Nissan Quest..Dvd player and all. How do I look? Cute.
On a serious note though this is the first car I have ever purchased in my name with my money I feel so independant and just great!

I never thought I'd see the day.


LOL it is wonderful and MAN O MAN I LOVE THE SPACE!!

VBS 09'

So this week I was a worker at our Church VBS. It was so much fun! I taught Missions and Music. Basically doing a bible study about different missionaries in different parts of the world each day with q&a. Then they learned a new praise team dance and song each day it was a great turn out. Then the last day was a church carnival and I was the facepainter :)
Here are some pictures..
