Our amazing Halloween!!!

We had so much fun getting ready for our day of Halloween. We went Trick-or-Treating with our friends then went and watched scary movies. It was so much fun. I love to dress up and change who i am for a bit.

Last month my boss took all of the staff to her parents cabin in Island Park. It was so fun. We played tons of games and talked late, watched movies, ate and ate lots of food, and went sight seeing. We made our way through West Yellowstone all the way to Old Faithful. We had so much fun getting to know everyone better. I love the girls I work with. And any males too.

In September 2009, I had a 5 year Cosmetology Reunion. It was so fun to see most all of my class mates that I spent so much time with for almost 2yrs. We all looked pretty much the same which was awesome cause I think we all have children. Well most all of us anyway. I miss all of them. We grew to be a pretty tight group.

Redken Runway Reinvention

I am so Excited!!! I did this photo shoot and am entering some of the pictures in this Redken contest. It is for licensed cosmetologists 21 or older. I sent off my pictures tonight and will know hopefully by Dec. 1, 2009. If I win, wait, when I win I will get to go to New York City for 7 days and will be featured in a magazine, a free class at the Redken Exchange in NYC, and $1000 spending money. Hopefully I will WIN!!! Cross your fingers for me.

We had so much fun taking a drive over the weekend. We took a little trip to Warm River and fed the giant fish and then on to Mesa Falls. It was gorgeous. Leighton loved feeding the fish popcorn and so did they. They would jump out of the water to snatch is up. It was so funny to see. We also fed them some huckleberry pancakes from and nice man and his son. They liked the popcorn better. He He He!!! We then went to see the falls. They were so beautiful. So peaceful. It was a fun family getaway.

First Day of School!!!

His first day of Preschool! August 24, 2009 Leighton stared with a friend. Her name is Jazzlyn Raya. Her mother works with me and is one very good friend. She actually married George Raya who graduated with me from high school. They are having so much fun going together. He loves his Transformer backpack! They are attending a preschool down the road from our house called Lots of Love Preschool. And they love going together! He is growing up so fast. Soon he will be in Kindergarten. Wow!!! I can't believe how old I am getting.

Well I haven't really done anything cool for awhile. That sucks I know! I have been busy with life I guess. Work and home life are sometimes hard to manage but totally rewarding. My son broke his wrist four weeks ago and has a blue cast on. It has been so hard having a four year old with a cast for the warmest part of the summer. We haven't been able to go swimming and had to cancel his second session of swimming lessons. That caused some commotion. At work we are getting ready to do a NAHA photo shoot to enter in next years competition. It will be hard work but hopefully someone from Austin Kade Academy will at least get a nomination. Which is totally doable. We have to get all our ideas together and then find an amazing photographer. We are all excited. Erik has been golfing a ton this year. He lives for it. I wish he would be able to go to golf school. It would be his dream job. I sometimes feel bad cause I am doing my dream job and he isn't but time could change that right!?! I just got called to the Young Women's program in church. I am super excited. I have been waiting for that opportunity since I got married. The girls are super fun so far. I just hope and can help them learn the way to happiness. I am also running a special on hair color and cuts together. They are $20 off for the compo at the same appointment time. Let me know if I can help any of you out in this department. I would love to see you and get caught up. See ya!
