Updates: Finalist in a contest, Radio Disney event a success, yearbook another success

Most of it is over and I can say I am so glad. It has been a very busy few months coordinating, planning, creating all these events at Hunter's school.

Yearbook: This year was our best sales year ever. We have almost sold 300 yearbooks for the school. There are about 475 students at Aspen Crossing so the percentage of sales to students was great! Many compliments on the book from the teachers and parents. This one I will do next year as it is dear to my heart.

Radio Disney Event: Many, many months went into planning this event which was held at one of the local high schools. This is the first event where we expected a large turn out but we were not sure how many. We had 350 individual presales and 100 sales at the door. I have received nothing but great feedback and all said the event was very well organized. I think I could have planned a wedding for all the time that was spent on this event. Next year they can build upon this one and make it even better. I have been asked to do it again next year but my time is up and I need a break.

Caroline's new dress and shoes

I bought this dress for Caroline a few weeks ago and today was the first day she wore it. I love the colors and she received so many compliments on it. Well I just had to try and take a picture or two. She just will not cooperate any more. I had to tell her she was going to be on poop duty in the yard for the rest of the day if she didn't smile. Oh well thought these were cute.

The Sitters are the most awesome neighbors you could have!!!!!!

My little PROUD VILLIANS!!!!!! I have taught them well.

Elvis was so hot in his day but that gold suit has got to go.

The kids and I were so bad tonight but we had so much fun!!! I received a box this weekend from a novelty store where I ordered some items for the school dance. Inside they packed lots of Elvis posters.



Right before dinner this bright idea just hit me out of the blue. Imagine that. I called to see if my neighbor and friend was at home. She was not. Awesome. I grabbed the tape, posters and told the kids to follow me.



We had so much fun covering their house in Elvis posters as you can see by the pictures. I am such a bad mom! Teaching the kids how to be hoodlums at such an early age. We were working on the side of the house when I heard a truck come around the corner. We got caught red handed with posters and tape in hand. It was her husband and kids. Brandy is at a training and hasn't got home yet. Posters are still up. I think I will pull the shades, not answer the phone and lock all the doors.



B....aren't you so glad you have the Sitters for neighbors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Caroline had her first spend the night party with Mave and Lochlan

Saturday night Caroline and I went over to Mrs. Joie's to take her some thank you notes for the PTO. Well Mrs. Joie broke out the bottle of Margarita's and then the Mojita's so mom had to stay for awhile! Caroline played with Mave and Lochlan and Joie asked her to stay the night. Her first spend the night party.

Sunday morning Michael picked her up and when she got home the first thing she said with a twinkle in her eye was " I had a spend the night party. I so excited!!!"
