Busy Bees!



Smores Cup Cakes!!



Well these past two weekends wore me out.  On the saturday of fathers day weekend I woke up early to go to old navy for $2 tank tops, and it wasnt even happening that weekend, the rest of that morning I spent getting fathers day gifts/cards/ baby shower gifts and birthday gifts.  First stop after that was Kaylas baby shower. Shes having a baby girl named Gracelyn and they are going to call her Gracie! Too Cute! Then we drove out to lake kickapoo for blakes 7th birthday party. They did arts and crafts, and played outside.  We got to eat Smores cup cakes! They were delicious. It was VERY HOT though. Then it was back to town, and later that evening we went to Hunters Birthday get together.  The kids got to play on a slip and slide. They all had a blast.  We got to eat ice cream cake! It was a busy day full of sweets! Sunday we went to church as usual and layed Macie down for her nap.  After she woke up we went to Kobes 3rd birthday party.  Where we got to eat ice cream cake AGAIN! :)  We left there about 5 or so and went to spend the rest of the evening at my memaw and grandpas house with my dad and all them for fathers day! That evening we came home to make macies molding of her hand.  Its a gift that I got Ryan for fathers day! Im so glad he loved it!  That busy weekend was over but this one was busy as well. Saturday Macie woke up earlier than usual. We played and watched cartoons as usual at noon we met her aunt melissa at old navy for the real $2 tank sale.  Later that afternoon we went to the spray park in Iowa Park. Macie LOVED it! I want to take her back soon.  Then that evening Ryan took her to the bug fest with his family while I had my first stella and dot party that Rachelle hosted. It went pretty good! Sunday we went to church then headed straight to ryans moms house so they could help josh cut down his moms tree.  Well they actually just supervised him haha.  Macie napped over there then we went to walk the mall for a little while to give us something to do.  Then that evening we went over to ryans aunt jeans for dinner, and hung around there for a little while.  That was the end to these busy weekends.  This week we are going to Rusk, so more blogs comming in about a week!

Business isnt booming :(

Well I was getting excited for my first stella and dot party that was going to be this weekend. I made the invitations, folded them, and put them each into their individual envelope.  I deliverd them to the girl that was going to hand them out to her friends.Well she realized she scheduled her party on fathers day so she wanted to cancel.  That is  understandable, but when I asked her if she wanted to reschedual the answer was no.  Now Im stuck, and dissapointed.  I have been selling stella and Dot for about 3 weeks now and the party I had did not go over too well.  Now the other party that I was going to have was cancelled.  So that leaves me with one more party to count on.  I hope that one turns out okay.  Also so many people have told me they are interested in stella and dot and possibly having a party, but Im not able to get dates from them.  I dont want to be the pesky sales lady, but I really want to be good at this business.  What to do...What to do??? This business is harder than I thought, but Im going to keep at it.  Things will fall into place im sure.  I got some free and half priced jewlery and I absolutly LOVE it!!! So we will see! Its just nice to be able to vent about it on here!

Keeping Busy

Here lately its been kind of busy, which I dont mind at all. Friday June 3rd I got to ride connies horse  (that she recently bought for the grankids) for the first time.  She would not listen to me and was very stubborn, and even bucked a little.  I wanted to take on the challenge of getting her to be a ride-able horse.  Saturday I tried to lunge her but she is desensitised to whips. just my luck.  Sunday I rode her and was able to make ALOT of progress.  I used connies barn as a round pen.  She would listen to all my directions, occasionally she didnt want to go the way I wanted to but I kept at it and she would eventually give in and go the right way.  By sunday evening I was able to trust her enough to canter her and she did great. I couldnt have felt more proud. Tuesday I went back out there and she did even better.  I need to keep at it so that way she doesnt get barn sour again.  I LOVE being able to ride, and build a relationship with this horse. 
Another thing that has been going on lately is we have been getting ready for a garage sale.  A little bit each day we would go through the rooms in the house finding stuff to get rid of.  Then yesterday we went through the garage and priced everything we are selling.  Its not as much as I would have thought but hopefully its enough to get a little extra money.
Other than that is has been a usual week. Ryans working, he has been watching the mavs basketball games.  We are trying to figure out what to do with his vacation time.  Its hard to choose, there arent too many things we can do because of our budget.  I have 2 parties booked for my stella and dot job.  Im excited! Macie has been talking up a storm. Shes learning so many more words.  I love being able to be with her all day, I dont miss anything new she says or does :)
well thats about it for this week!

Memorial Day Weekend to June

Well its been a little while since I have blogged last.  Things have got a little more busy than usual. Memorial day weekend was just like any other weekend.  That friday Macie and I spent sometime with my grandparents then we all went to eat at mazios with my dad nada and ryan. That night I went out for my friend heathers Birthday she finally turned 22. Saturday we took macie over to see her Guh Guh Connie. That evening Ryan, Macie and I went swimming/hot tubbing at a very nice house that my friend alicia was house sitting.  Even later that evening was my friend yolandas going away party.  I had went to elementary with her, and now she was at MSU, but she decided she wanted to move to colorado for good. Sunday we went to church, ate at Qdoba for lunch. Macie napped, then we went to connies for a Memorial day cookout. Monday ryan and I cleaned and went gracery shopping.  Then Monday night I had my first stella and dot jewlery party.  It didnt go as well as planned but Magan (the lady helping me sell Stella and Dot) helped me out. She is such a great person. Ryan worked 8-6 on tuesday so it was just Macie and I all day.  It was nice.  Tuesday evening I went and watched part of the Mavs game at buffalo wild wings. I usually dont like watching basketball but my friends invited me so I went. Wednesday I stayed home all day, Ryan had a 2 hour break that day! We rented little fockers and watched it.  It was a cute movie.  Thursday ryan had another 2 hour break  so we went out to lunch.  The rest of the day we relaxed, played outside for a bit and watched some tv.  Not sure what we are doing today, but we were invited to go to the circus on saturday! It will be Macies first time. I think she will like it. Also I am still selling Stella and dot, and I have been working on that all week too. I really enjoy it.  I cant believe its allready june, soon it will be time to head back to school.
