Happy Birthday Miss Lydia!

Ok so I’m only 2 months late on posting pictures about Lydia’s birthday…the next few posts will be playing catch up. 

Lydia’s wanted a “Superstar” Party and I had WAY too much fun putting it together….red carpet, new birthday balloon wreath, ribbon light fixture…I went Pinterest Crazy!  I loved it and the girls had fun too. We did hair, got dressed up, tried to sing Princess Karaoke---emphasis on “tried” and then just had a great time together.  I also included pictures of her on the morning of her birthday and at school that day at during her spotlight.  It was a great day for a great girl…we’re happy to have her in our family!

HAPPY FALL…and….I think I have a problem….

Ahhh, finally….one of my favorite days of the year….First Day of Fall!!!  So why was it 95 degrees today? Seriously….I miss me some Utah Fall Weather! 

With the event of the Fall Season comes one of  my other favorite things---decorating for Fall!  Although after getting everything out, I think I may need to look for a Pumpkin Addicts Anonymous group though…I have a serious addiction, obsession, hobby…call it what you may, but it looks like the Great Pumpkin threw up in my house!!!  I took pictures to prove it…any advice or help you may have is welcomed.  Admitting that I have a problem is the first step, right?

p.s. Here’s the gorgeous sunset on the first day of Fall….beautiful reminder of God’s love!!

Yup…she did it AGAIN! Lydia “scissorhands”!!!

At the beginning of July, Lydia’s hair FINALLY grew out from the chop job she did to her hair 18 months ago….here it is:

Before the birth of Lydia Scissorhands....

...and after the CHOP JOB!



The pixie cut really suited her as you can see below:

But she was ready to start growing it out though and in July her hair was so adorable and FINALLY all the same length!!!  How adorable is this haircut? I love, love, love her hair like this!!!!!

And I thought she did too….until she went all “Lydia Scissorhands” on me again! Grrrr….what am I going to do with that girl?  I’m praying she grows up to be a hair stylist because this will make a GREAT story.  And she’s going to owe me FREE haircuts for the rest of my life!!! And when I start going grey, she's going to have to color it for FREE because she is going to cause most of them!!!

Luckily, she only cut this one side and I can hide it pretty well with pulling it up in a little ponytail on the side.

Here she is devouring her 4th or 5th piece of watermelon…and her hair looks normal…thank heavens for clips and ponytails!!! And thank heavens that she is so darn cute that I can't resist loving her despite all the shenanigans she pulls!!! :)

MK Fun again!

It’s that time of year again…when Dallas turns “pink” in July!  For 3 weeks over 50,000 consultants (they don’t all come at once…5 groups of around 10,000) descend on Dallas, TX, contributing millions to the economy, dressing up and having fun!!! We are trained, get prizes, have fun girl time and are inspired to reach our goals.  I always feel so fresh and energized after going. Plus, I love being with my best MK girlfriends!  Below are a few fun pictures…I had to take photos of my hair because I’ve never had anyone do a professional “up-do” and one of the other consultants does hair.  I loved it!

The food is always yummy so I took photos of my favorite…then at the luncheon with my favorite Caprese Salad AND the most amazing lemon dessert EVER, they spoiled us even more with a performance from 2 of the members of PENTATONIX!  I loved them in The Sing Off and was so excited when they won. And then…I got to get my picture taken with them!!! YAY! 

Last interesting story….they always have the cars we can earn on display and of course I got my picture taken in front of that gorgeous pink caddy, because that’s going to be in my driveway by my birthday!!!  But until then, we’ve earned the “premier club” level car and one of the options is a Toyota Camry…we’ve been waiting for it to arrive and it’s been late. Well guess why? It was totalled in a hail storm!!!  So…I could either wait another 2 months to get another one ordered or they could give me the car off the floor at Seminar! So, I had to take a photo of  MY car!   It should be here any day. Can’t wait…love my MK!
