COUSINS

We got together to take cousins photos for my mom.  That is all she wanted for Christmas!

It was fun to have the whole bunch together.

Decorations

Today as I look around my home and see all the beautiful Christmas decorations( and how they each make me smile or remember a time in my life) I  was thinking about how to decorate each day this year.  One way would be to decorate my home for each holiday or season.  One way would be to take special care with my personal appearance.  One way would be to put a smile on... that always makes people feel special...even the one giving it!

2012 comes to an end...

As we say good bye to 2012 I want to reflect on the memories from this year.
My Scentsy business is doing great and my team has grown to 22 now.
Kassie is doing great and is living on her own.  She is a junior in College and on the ASU Rodeo Team.
Maddie is a junior in High School and plays basketball for our High School.
Chase is growing like a mad weed.  He played football and loves to run.  He is a pro at Xbox....until Serina challenges him to madden football and wins.
Serina is doing very well.  She finally has more good days than bad.  Very little pain and she is so fun and a great sport in all she does.
Greg is working for the school system driving the school bus and he also works for CRHDC where he runs 2 computer labs.
We lost our long time good friend Rita Freel this month.  She fought a great fight against cancer.
I had my appendix out in June and have recovered well getting stronger every day.
In July we moved into a much larger home (LOVE IT!) where I put my salon at my home.  This is so perfect for me and Zane...

Our whole family has joined up with the Scentsy Business.  Kassie is now running her own business with Grace Adele Hand bags and jewelry also a Scentsy brand.  Greg and Chase are in charge of unpacking orders and sorting.....I get to put the bows on them  and arrange delivery
I have earned a trip to Hawaii, Costa Rica, Washington DC, New York, or Whistler British Columbia.  Greg and I have this month to earn our last 8500 points so he can go free too.  Wish Us LUCK!  Wishing you all a Happy and Healthy 2013!

 This year I lost my long friend Cathie Price who had been sick for a long time. Her little poodle came to live with us and fits in like a glove.

 #44 our little Football player with a Big Heart!

 Serina was the cutest witch for Halloween!  this is her with her new kitty Fluffy.

 It was so fun to have all my kids  at my home for Christmas Eve.

 Oh Zane he is so fun and growing fast. Right now his thing is Cell phones. He loves Youtube and he can find his little kid videos in no time. We have been blessed with Marsha who watches him 3 days a week here at our home. She also keeps my life organized.

We have had a very Blessed 2012!  1013 can only be better, funner, & fruitful

Time for a haircut

He was laughing at my Scentsy sunglasses but I realized It is time for a haircut!

Life in the Fast Lane....

Hi everyone it has been some time.
I started my own business selling Scentsy Wickless Candles in Sept. Little did I know that the little side business was going to take off like a rocket. If you all have not seen them they are the best thing since the wheel. A pretty warmer that warms highly scented wax with just a 25 watt bulb. I am in love with the whole scent experience. I love how you can change the mood of your home by changing the scent you warm in the warmer. Best of all it is completely safe and with 5 kids...I need safe.
I am spending more time at home now and hope to keep in touch with you all and get caught up on your blogs. You are welcome to check in on my wicklesswonders blog to see what I am up to...If you are looking for extra income or a great job where you are your own boss...you probably need to join me. Well who knows what I will find to post about.
My little Zane was born April 3rd...yikes he is almost 1 year old. This time last year I was in the hospital on and off. Thank You God for giving my life and a chance to enjoy my family for a few more years.

New Attempt to Blog.....

I read my cousins blog post and it Inspired me to once again make an attempt to write down something. I am in hopes that maybe I can organize my life through blogging...don't they say that when you visualize something and write it down...then look at it daily it will become! I am sure I have heard it somewhere. Ok so here goes...I am going backwards to reflect on our summer....as I see that Easter was my last post. This year I hope to share some recipes along with some photos and I hope tons of laughs.
 Coming soon:
 Baby Zane
 Serina's Surgery
 Stampede

 Oh...there was snow here this morning. Not a ton but it was white all over...yikes it seems early.
