MC's first birthday!

I completely forgot that I drafted this posted and never finished it! Only about a week later, not too bad! Anyways, Last Saturday, we celebrated sweet Mary Charles' first birthday party! I love this precious girl, so I am sure it is no surprise that I stayed home in Sylacauga that weekend, and didnt go stay with Shane. She had a great turnout at her party and it was all just too cute!

"hi everyone! thank you all for coming!"

My favorite photo of MC and her mommy! So presh!

MC had a fun clown at her party! She played so well with the kids and made them all laugh a ton!

The clown made MC this little balloon ladybug!

Kayden Johnson had his face painted like a lion!

"This is what guys do"

That's what Caden kept telling me about he and Layne Parker playing the 3DS.

Everyone always brags on Caden when he is so good, like this night. I have to tell them that his game is like his babysitter. It keeps him calm and focused. There were mostly babies there, so he was just fine right there!! We are still sticking to the "only on weekends" game rule!

Her invite said, "no gifts please"

Call me rude for not respecting her mommy's wishes, but there was no way I wasn't getting my girl something! Seems as if everyone else felt the same way! She ended up with too many precious gifts! I love my bag that we had her beach towel in!

Monogrammed beach towel from us!

Some of their other friends made this beautiful gift for MC. All of those photos were takken when she was 6 months old. Loved it!

Can't believe you are one, Mary Charles! I am so happy to be a part of your life and to be able to watch you grow and play almost daily. Love you sweet girl!

Dreaming Pink

This month, I am coming up on my one year anniversary as a Mary Kay Beauty Consultant! In October, my friend Skye and I were able to attend the fall retreat for our unit. Oh I am so glad that we did! We were so inspired and learned a lot, andddd it was so much fun! I love, love, love our director, Nancy. I always say that if someone quit as a consultant, then they never had a Nancy! I took pictures of everything! Do you fellow bloggers every feel so weird taking pictures of every detail so that you can remember it later?! Non bloggers may not understand!! Skye and I left on that Friday evening, we were able to stay with her in laws and head to the retreat on Saturday morning. Just our girl time was enough for me!

These muffins were made by the devil and I had like 14!!

Our adorable box lunches!

cutest napkin!

This was part of my inspiration board that we were told to make.

Mine was mostly full of family time, and do you see that baby girl down there? I want her too! Can MK give me that?!!

The focus was on positive attitudes. We were taught that the more positive thoughts you have, then the more positive the outcome! We had to rate ourselves on the above qualities to measure our positiveness on our own lives. Mine was great! ha! You may see that the only things I marked as unacceptable are my bank account and my investments. I going to try real hard to think positive about those so they will grow!! hahahah!

We were also given these babies and told to pop ourselves every time we had a negative thought! Ouch! As positive as we are, Skye and I were a little sore on out ride home!!

Marie the prize bee! Every break, they would come down dressed as the prize bee. You won just by being loud and excited. I won a cute cute clipboard by using the never failing spirit fingers!

Number one reason I love MK, They are built on the principles of God- first, Family- second, and Career- third. Please let me know if you would like any information on becoming a part of our unit! We have so much fun and nothing compares to the great relationships that are built!
