Thirty-One National Conference
Last weekend I had the opportunity to attend Thirty-One's national conference in Columbus, OH. It was held there (instead of somewhere more glamorous) because the company just built a new home office there and completed it this year so they wanted us to be able to tour the facility. I started my business with Thirty-One back last fall and am really enjoying it so far. I love the flexibility of my schedule and the ability to grow in such a wonderful Christian based company. I truly hope that my business continues to grow and be a blessing for our family.
This was just a shot from my seat one night. I've never been somewhere like this...there were over 1500 of us there!
This is my director Martine...I met her for the first time over the weekend since she lives in Myrtle Beach!
My roommate Christina! We hit it off great and really were a good match!
This was the outside of the home office.
These were the flowers that Jason sent me at the hotel. It was our anniversary on Saturday and since I was in Ohio we couldn't be together. He's so sweet.

Church camp
This was the first year Morgan could go to church camp. They have to be entering the 3rd grade to go. Mia and I went up with her to get her settled and stayed the first night and full day.
Mia in a "rock rock" chair outside the lodge where she and I stayed...
Morgan and Emma working on their shrinky dink crafts...
Morgan getting buried in the sand (on the sand volleyball court) during some free time.
Mia LOVED the sand, but was so sweaty that it just stuck to her scalp. We had to wash her hair several times that night to get it all out!
This is the cabin where the 3rd and 4th grade girls slept. Morgan picked the top bunk all the way back on the right! That's her popping up.

Mia turns two!!!!
It's hard to believe that our sweet little Mia Kate is two already! Here is her cupcake cake that I made myself... Notice the cupcakes on her shirt!
This was on Mia's actual birthday... She would NOT cooperate for a cute picture!! I had a friend make this shirt for her to wear for her party, but then her aunt sent her the other one that looked great with the tutu skirt!! So we dressed for her birthday on her b-day and also on her party day!
Here is Mia and her 2nd cousin Megan on the trampoline. We told them to hold hands and they actually did it! So cute...
Mia cheesing for the camera...

Memorial Day
My brother Craig, his wife Hasmig and their two kids Bennett and Brynn came to visit us for Memorial day weekend as well as my parents!!
Morgan acted like quite the little babysitter for little Brynn! Here she is making Brynnie laugh!
Mollie, Mia and Brynn in the bath!
Mia cheesing by the rose bush...
Brynn empyting my magazine rack.... She's so cute, I couldn't get upset at her!
We took the kids to the Splash Pad... that would also be where my van battery was dead when we tried to leave....
Morgan, Bennett and Mollie...

Sorry it's been so long!
Wrapping up the school year is always hectic! Here are some pictures from the last couple weeks...
Mia and I walked back and forth between Morgan and Mollie's classes at field day! Here we are with Morgan!
Mollie's and the rest of the Kindergarten classes had a Splash Day where the fire department comes and sprays the hose from the truck for hours!! They loved it, but after about 30 minutes, the kids had a pond to play in as well! Mia loves Ms. Cockrell, Mollie's teacher (Morgan had her 2 years ago too!) and if I wasn't holding her, Julie had to be!
This was the night of Mollie's Kindergarten graduation!
Mollie and Ms. Cockrell....
Mia LOVES going to her "sisher's" classrooms!!
Morgan and her teacher Mrs. Essary...

TN flood of 2010
Another field trip and special dress up days
Mollie and 3 friends were being used as examples for what a plant needs to grow. There was the sun, water, pot/soil and Mollie was the seed that needed to grow!
Mollie was supposed to dress us as a farmer this day and baby pigs and bunnies visited their classroom.
On Friday, they had a Sock Hop in celebration of the spring testing being over...

Spring plays (remember the girls go to an Arts Academy)
Field trips
I want to start by saying that this is what I get for missing Mollie's snack day! I am very visual so I like to have the calendar on the side of the fridge or as soon as I read it, I have to go write it on our home calendar. Somehow this month, I forgot her day. A few days later when I realized it, I apologized to her teacher and said I'd send something in the next day. She then asked me if I'd do an insect snack since they were studying them that week! These are my little butterflies made from celery, pb, raisins and pretzels! Cute, but very time consuming....so much for the easy granola bars I usually send!
