Come if you can!

Jordan's 12th Birthday

Ok, so I totally skipped over the fact that my little girl turned 12 years old Sept. 1st!
That's right, one more year and I will have a teenager...hard to believe I know!
We are so proud of the sweet young lady she has become. But sometimes I still see the little girl who told Todd to put his minnow back into the water and it will get bigger (she thought the little perch she had caught with her minnow was the same fish, it had just grown:).

Happy 12th Birthday Jordycakes (yea, call her that next time you see her....hehe)!!

For Ashlee

I was just telling Todd today how bummed I am that we can't go to the Balloon Fiesta this year in Albuquerque (and see our awesome family!). And then I come home and see Pam's blog and it makes me wish I was going even more!
So I thought I would post a few pics from the time we went to the fiesta while we lived there. Ashlee, this would be the only way to top your awesome anniversary present to your hubby! Looks like you guys had fun!

How could you ever get tired of this view every morning for a week?
I think there are around 500 balloons launched during the Mass Ascension!

The afterglow is my favorite. You get to walk in between all the balloons while they are tethered to the ground. There are some pretty different shaped balloons out there!

I have no time...

to blog!
I feel guilty right now as I type this that I'm not doing laundry or some sort of cleaning.
As many of you know, I started cosmetology school at the first of this month. I go 32 hours a week. This is a big change going from SAHM to almost full time gone. Needless to say my house is suffering from it and it is driving me CRA-ZY!
We have learned all the basic haircuts, a little razoring, facials, waxing, pedicures, perms, colors, foils, shampoo-sets...you want your hair rolled, dried & brushed out into a football helmet? I'm your gal!
What's even more scary about his whole big change is that one more week and then I'm on the floor! And I have no clue what I'm doing!! But that's how they learn. I better get busy this week practicing on my doll head. Maybe Jordan has some barbies around here somewhere...ha. But, I've seen some ding-bats do hair, so I'm pretty sure I can get the hang of it!
The 1st week we did make-overs. The instructor used me as her teaching guinea pig. I should have had someone take a pic...I felt like Alice Cooper after she was done. It was funny.
I'll be posting some pics soon of my mannequin after I cut her hair. But right now I have to get off of here and get ready for my nursery duty. Like I said, I have no time!

Welcome Baby Tristen!

My sister had her baby boy today! We are all so excited!
This is Melissa & Sean's 3rd little blessing.

His name is Tristen Joseph
He weighed 8lbs 4oz. & is 20 in. long.

Here are a few pics of the cutie. Big sister holding his hand while he gets his first bath.

Proud Grandma Pam (Sean's mom).

I am so glad it is all over for her and everything went well. I am a little bummed that I can't be there to see him until Friday. Stupid school! But I can't stay bummed too long...I'm so happy to have another baby in the family!
