My first Thirty One Leadership Retreat

Back in February, I was was honored to be allowed to attend the Beloved Director’s Retreat as a Senior Consultant.  It was a refreshing, encouraging, fun girl time, business building opportunity that i am so grateful I got to experience.

This is Megan, my friend, and Director.  And, Randa, my friend, and a Director under Megan. 

Such amazing ladies and friendships I have made through Thirty One.  Gina Hooten, fellow senior consultant, Stephanie Wiley, my Senior Director, and Kim Nettles, a director under Stephanie. 

Love these girls and had such an amazing weekend away that I desperately needed at the time.   

We had recognition time for our team accomplishments for the year, that was fun to be standing up as a sr consultant with all directors there. 

We were spoiled with free ammenities!

Warm/Fuzzy Notes Wall!

Renee from Home Office, she was amazing!

I’m telling you that Thirty One is so much more than selling bags.  It is friendships and relationships and sharing the love of God.  I am continually blown away by the amazing opportunities with this company.  So BLESSED to be part of team Beloved.

Four has been fun.  This is Kaden on Valentine’s with his chocolate covered strawberry! 

You are Cowboy Kaden.

You LOVE puzzles, always have since you were about a year old.

Momma found this elephant in the dryer one morning.  You are silly.  :)

You LOVE to wear your spiderman suit anywhere we will let you.  You LOVE Bucee’s, the store.  This is you eating a breakfast taco from Bucee’s.

The park is your favorite place to visit, you BEG me to take you daily.  You LOVE to run and play!  You love to play hide and seek, soccer, and ride your horse Patrick.

  You LOVE Dippin’Dots!

You are so silly and funny and make us laugh all the time.

You love to help around the house, this is your chore, bringing the trash can back from the road.  You do this EVERY week.

You help Momma sort laundry, and play in it too!

You love to help with Sissy, and she loves for you to carry her around, believe it or not.

You love Sweet Frogs.

You love oreos and chocolate chip cookies and milk.

You love your Momma!  You give me lots of hugs and kisses and you always want to sleep in the bed with Momma, STILL!

You love to climb trees! 

Kaden Angus, you are such a joy!  Your Daddy and I are crazy about you.  You brighten our day, everyday!  We love you!

Kallie Ann at 7 months old

Your Nana kept you one day at our house and played dress up with you while Momma was away.  She took these sweet pictures of you in your bassonet. 

 

During your seventh month you were working on getting your first tooth through the gum line on the bottom.  Look at that first tooth.  This was during Leah’s baby shower at her house.

The week of Valentine’s in February, Daddy fed you plain rice off a spoon, and you loved it!  Real food here you come!  You have loved everything we have ever put in your mouth!  (Just like Kaden!)

Momma thought that you finally had enough hair for a tiny bow!  I love this grinning picture of you!

 

You and Kaden love each other so much.  You always want to be near him.  You both are crazy about each other.  It is the sweetest thing to watch you to as brother and sister.

“Driving” with Momma! 

My love for you in just too great to put into words little girl.  You are so completely precious to your Momma.  I adore you.  You are so sweet.  I love you so much!

Getting that first tooth was HARD work!!!

Kaden’s 4th Birthday!

Kaden wanted Batman for his birthday, so he got Batman!  We took him to Party City one day after a very scary doctors visit from the big scare that all ended up fine with the oncology/hematology doctor.  So, we let him pick his birthday stuff there.  This is what he wanted! 

 

All decorated up!

We went very easy this year with cake and cupcakes from the grocery store case.  We fed everyone chilidogs, chips and dips and ice cream.

We can not express the LOVE we have for this sweet boy.  He just has our hearts is all I can say, since the day he arrived he has been so very special to us and it just keeps getting more and more special the older he gets.  The weeks around his birthday were hard and emotional with the big health scare for him.  We are so very grateful and thankful to have our healthy and happy 4 year old.  So hard to believe it’s been 4 years since you were born.

  

Your seven month old baby sister slept through the party, believe it or not! 

 

Kaden you mean the world to your Momma and Daddy and Sissy.  We love you with all our hearts and we are so proud of you.

Happy 4th Birthday! 

February 2013 Recap

Obviously,  I will have a seperate 4 year birthday post for Kaden!  Geez, can’t believe I got this far behind on blogging!

Miss Kallie at 7 months old looking adorable as always!  Kara Clanton got you this bow before you were born, Kallie, and I LOVE it!

The kids and I took a road trip down to Angleton, Texas to one of my very best friends baby shower.  Kallie was working on her first tooth on this trip! 

Leah opening presents at the shower!

My beautiful friend Leah.

While we were in Angleton, Daddy got to deliver at the Walmart there, so we got to eat breakfast with him.  It was a fun surprise!

Kaden LOVED this swing made out of an old tugboat rope.  I took some maternity pictures for Leah and Kacey while we were there.

 

Such a BEAUTIFUL place to take pictures!

I am so excited for Leah and Kacey and their first baby girl who was born in April.

Bad Bloggy Mom!

Wow!  It’s been four months since I blogged anything!  I couldn’t ever remember my password!  CRAZY!  I tell you, I have really fallen off the wagon with posting since baby #2 arrived last July!  I’m going to ***TRY*** to start getting caught up and post more regularly.  Just because I don’t post it, doesn’t mean it isn’t happening or I’m not taking pictures, because I am taking LOTS of pictures of this little sweetie!

This picture is at Grand Daddy and JJ’s house back in early Spring and the grass was so beautiful and green. 

Oh the miles he has put on this green machine!  (No we don’t make him wear the helmet, he wanted too!)

Meet Patrick, Kaden’s little horse.  He LOVES Patrick and he LOVES to ride!  And, Grand Daddy loves that Kaden loves horses.

I swear this baby Kallie should be making commercials or something!  She is such a beautiful girl! 

Ok, here I go, my first attempt at getting “Caught Up!”
