Happiest Place On Earth

A few months ago I did the Disney give a day/get a day. You volunteer for a day and then you receive a Disney ticket for each volunteer in your family. Our family made blankets for the Linus Project which is an organization that provides blankets to children in need. They ship blankets to Haitie and other countries where the blankets might be needed. They also keep some local to provide for children who may find themselves in a tragic situation. I think it was very important for the kids to be involved and know what a great feeling it is to help someone in need. So, this weekend we took advantage of our five free tickets (Bowen was to young to volunteer) and surprised the kids. We went to Disneyland on Saturday and a Dodger game on Sunday. When Jay and I told them where we were going they jumped and screamed around the house for five minutes. Nothing better than a smile on your children's face.

Choose Your Path Wisely

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Monday Night Football

It wasn't Manning, Tomlinson or Porter out on that field, but it was Mercer! We weren't sitting in Qualcomm stadium with thousands of screaming fans but believe me, it sure felt like the big leagues. Hadens team The Quakes took the field under the big lights Monday night and boy were their fans cheering. Their opponents did very well and scored quite a few more touchdowns than we did, but we played our hearts out. The final score was 44-7 which was tough but our boys learned a lot. We are pumped and ready for the next game on Monday. This is where stars are born!

Bridal Shower

This weekend we had a beautiful shower for our dear friend Annie who will be married on 10/10/10. We are so happy for her and Joe and look forward to sharing in their beautiful day.

On The Run

I cannot believe we are already in the third week of school. I know all to well how quickly the time is going. Christmas is only three months away! Yikes!

The next couple of months are going to be our busiest. We are promoting all of our seasonal scents for tarrahmisu which if I might add are incredible. I am planning a bridal shower and attending a wedding as a bridesmaid. Haden's football games are starting, he's amazing. I know it will make all those night's sitting out in the nasty heat worth it just to see him step out onto the field. The girls will continue their gymnastics, start volleyball and girl scouts and Bowen will start football. We are planning a great Harvest/Halloween party at our house for our friends and family that the kids and I have been shopping for. Oh, and we will be working and keeping up with all the other aspects of our daily lives!

Yes, its crazy at times, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. We are truly blessed and I am so thankful!

Girls Night

Thanks to my Truth Tab girls for dinner and my beautiful gifts. We had a great dinner and so many laughs. I'm so glad we got the goat story timeline figured out. lol. Love those girls!

Labor Day

This past weekend we were able to escape and enjoy a few days of fun. We joined a bunch of our friends and family camped at Kaweah Resort next to the river. Enjoy the pics.

Getting Away

So this mama is ready for some relaxation! Not that camping and cooking is all that relaxing but, it will be a change of scenery and lots of great people to have fun with. I hope everyone has a safe holiday. Get out there and do something!

Happiness

Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude
