Scentsy National Convention!!!

Scentsy National Convention,
Boise, ID
July 30th- Aug. 2nd
Me and Ashley in front of the P.F. Chang horse- we had just arrived in Boise and were very hungry. We were just around the corner from the neatest little shopping district with outdoor cafe's and guys playing guitars on the street. Very cute!!
The first day of Convention and just showin' my Scentsy bling and sweet gang signs!! (notice my huge, very expensive ring?)
They let Director's go into the general session first to save seats for our team so this is me and Ashley just happy to be there!
Orville and Heidi Thompson- amazing, amazing people!!
Me and Ali Bawden- she and I used to be in the same ward in Orem and I was so excited when I heard she signed up with Scentsy and was going to be at Convention- it's a small world!!
My new tanning friend- Staci Pace. I had seen her car parked at Palm Beach Tan (she has a Scentsy car vinyl like mine) and always wondered who she was. I found her and we became good friends. She actually just lives about 2 min. away from me. Man, this picture looks like we're dating or something!!
Me and Orville- they had a picnic at the park on the first night so everyone brought their kids and there were lots of fun games, good food and free dessert from Schwann's- could it get any better?
Me and Michelle- she and I also used to be the same ward in Orem and I didn't know she was a consultant until I ran into Ali and she was talking to her on the phone!! I was so happy to see her and catch up.

Me and Adie Mitchell- we became good friends back in January when I came up for the Director's Retreat and I was really looking forward to seeing her again. This was at the Awards Banquet and she won the "Shining Star " Award and I couldn't agree more- she is such an amazing woman who I really look up to!!
Ashley, Shelli and myself.
These were some of my new friends that I made during Convention. I really made an effort to get out of my comfort zone and meet people. One day during lunch I just walked up to them and asked if I could sit with them and they were so nice. They actually had saved me a seat at their table for the awards banquet so I got to sit with them. I can't wait to see them again next year!
Michelle, Me and Ali- it was so awesome to see these girlz!!
Kristen Glauser and myself. I had also become friends with her at the Director's Retreat so I couldn't wait to see her again. Every year they hang a banner for everyone to sign and my signature is over the big star in the lower left corner.

Me and Ashley- it's way too early in the morning and we're heading to the Pancake Feed and then off to our river rafting adventure!! (sorry it's so blurry)
Scentsy fed us some of the best pancakes i've ever had, complete with strawberries and whipped topping!! You could also go on a warehouse tour to see how everything is made and shipped.
We then got on a bus that took us to a really neat train. The train ride was about an hour but it was so pretty. It dropped us off right where we were going to get in our rafts.
I didn't bring my camera on the raft trip because it isn't water proof and I didn't want to worry about losing or ruining it.
After the raft trip- Ashley, Keturah and myself. The rafting was so fun and I had the best people in the raft.
That evening I went out to dinner with some friends who I had made during the raft trip. We ate at some crappy place but the atmosphere was so cool. All the restraunts had patio seating so we ate outside and shared stories, convention experiences, exhanged business cards and just had a great time.
I'm so glad I went to Convention and there isn't a doubt in my mind that I will be going again next year because.....
It's in Salt Lake City!!!






Layover in Utah

UTAH!!!
I was on my way to Boise, ID for Scentsy's National Convention and had a layover in Salt Lake for a couple of hours.

As we were flying in I had to take a picture of my mountains.
Don't know exactly what city this is but you can't miss Utah Lake!!
Me and Ashley Knight- it was so fun to explain things to her as we were flying over my home state!!
The best part? My sister and Mom totally surprised me by coming to the airport!!
The night before I had talked to them about coming to see me but they all had really good reasons why they couldn't come- I was sad but I understood so I was shocked when Nicki called as I was getting something to eat saying she was downstairs. So I went as fast as I could and was so happy to see her. She started taking pics of me and after like the 4th one I kinda wondered why she was acting funny. I had a feeling to turn around and there was my mom!!!
I jumped up and down laughing and hugged my mom- of course there are always tears when you get the 2 of us together!!
I miss the family members who weren't there but it just made my day to see my mom and sister!!

I luv my momma!!!
Man, we're cute early in the morning!

I luv my sista!!!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR COMING TO SEE ME!!!!

Ward 24th of July Party

Lake Cities 2nd Ward 24th of July Party!
I got suckered into participating in the sack race so this is us making sure all of our hubby's had the cameras ready because we all blog/scrapbook and wanted to make sure we got this on film.

Man I look intense

I ended up getting 3rd place but Cherise (the girl in the white shirt) ended up falling down and twisting her ankle. It was swollen the next day- you don't mess around when it comes to a sack race in our ward!!

Everyone got a ribbon and Colben really wanted one so I pinned one on him- then of course, Danika wanted one too- we're all winners!!!

Colben is so handsome!!

Danika is such a cutie!!
I found someone to take our picture and of course the kids aren't even looking!! Typical!!
It was so hot but we had a good time.
There was a playground by where the party was so we let the kids play on it before heading home. Danika loves swings and loves to go as high as you can push her.
Don't let this picture fool you, I made them pose this way- i'm such a mean mom!!
Danika is my Super Woman with no fear- you tell her to go down the slide head first and she'll do it with a smile on her face. Chances are she'll go back up and do it again!





Ben's Birthday BBQer

It took me a while to remember to take pictures of Ben's birthday present.
Here is the sweet BBQ grill that he got and it has been wonderful. We have had many a delicious meal thanks to this wonderful piece of grilling heaven.
I'm so glad we extended our back patio so we can have more space for things like this. Now all we need is some new patio furniture!!
Ben: hint, hint, hint- my b-day is in November :)



4 Kids?

From July 16th-23rd we watched our friend's kids while they took a much needed vacation to the Dominican Republic. They watched our kids while we went to DC so it worked out really well.
I just have a lot more respect for those moms who have more than 2 kids!!! I was exhausted!

Danika is just a little bit messy!
Brennan borrowed Danika's bib- notice it says "Little Miss Sunshine"?
He didn't seem to mind!
Poor Katelynn- she had to have a little time out and I noticed she was being really quiet so I walked over to our stairs and she had fallen asleep!!
Proof that we did actually make it to 9am church with 4 kids!!!
I was at a Scentsy party one night and forgot to put the kids' pajamas in the dryer so Ben put them in our kids' jammies! I just couldn't resist. Brennan is in Danika's and Katelynn is in Colben's!! (Cherise and Matt- if you want copies for later use just let me know!)

Colben's Last day of Swim Class

Stocker Swim School!!!
Colben's last day of swim class. This might not look like much but what you don't understand is that Colben does NOT like to put his head under the water so what you're seeing is a miracle.
I won't go so far to say he now dives into the water but he's definitely getting more used to the fact that swimming does mean going under the water!!





WAY TO GO COLBEN- WE'RE SO PROUD OF THE PROGRESS YOU MADE OVER THE SUMMER!!!
