Amazing Parents!

Without whom I would've lost my mind trying to pack and take care of my sickee Max!(double ear infection and having to put him on a breathing machine) and this whole house thing wouldn't be possible! I'm eternally grateful! These pictures are of the karate tournament my Dad just had - and yes, he had that sweatshirt (and beanie and polo) made with our academy's logo on it! Little mascot!max's first yogurt! in his
nose!
Oh, and welcome home from Denmark, Dad! We missed you! (even though he left for Memphis this morning!) World traveler - he's doing international referee seminars! So proud of you, Poppa!

Dream come true!

okay, so you've heard rumblings of a new house? Yes, we're moving! within the next week or so; we're just waiting for escrow to close! But,we're packing up! Which, all you people with kids - i have no idea how you've moved so many times! It's so overwhelming with a toddler running around unpacking right behind you! and Max and i are super sick to boot, but we're so excited about this house, it's all worth it! Oh, and it's 2 streets away from my parents and 1 block from the best park in town!We're still trying to sell our house, but are willing to rent if we can't sell it. This whole thing has been amazing and it's our dream house, and we just feel God's favor so strongly it's so humbling!
LOVE this kitchen!

i've always wanted a 2 story!2 garages! 1 single 1 double - i get my own garage!

Valentine Craziness!

This was a very full day - starting with doing all day makeovers for 8 hours (more on my makeup site), then off to the Valentine's Banquet which was a hoot as you can see and I sang "someone to watch over me", and then it was off to the hospital to meet Valentine Baby Eliana at about 11 p.m.! The next day, my Hubby gave me my actual gift and took me and Max out to breakfast (my favorite thing), and then dropped me off at the salon to have a manicure, pedicure, and a facial! I was there for like 3 hours and he took Max and they had a boy day! Then we went and saw Fool's Gold that night - perfect day, perfect Valentine! Loved it!Valentine Princess!
My Valentines!
My love
We ran over Marissa!
Welcome Home, Noelle!

Johnny Depp??? I did his makeup! Capt. Jack Sparrow incarnate!
"Someone to Watch Over Me" Ella Fitzgerald - my singing icon!

so scary!

I love that my last post is about the sunshine - while it's blustery rainy and running about 50 mph winds! perfect! okay, so tonight we had a bit of a scare when we were on our way home from dinner with Dave and Cheryl, waiting at a stop light to go - the car next to us start hollering at the car behind us (both drunk) and probably because they were distracted - the light turned green and they slammed into the back of our card (really hard!) and then proceeded to speed off in the other direction! while we realized what happened, checked on Max - who amazingly didn't even wake up - flipped around and tried to chase them down, then passed a police car and told them what happened and they called the other units out on a hit and run! I don't know if they caught them yet, but I'm so thankful no one got hurt and my car barely got scratched! All I know is that angels were watching over us and I'm sooo grateful and relieved! Also for the other people's safety, because if they slighty hurt my child I would hunt them down and make their lives miserable! (whoa! Mama Bear, look out!) and we won't even start with what my Dad would do!
Anyways, just a reminder to pray protection over you and your family constantly - it works!

I can see clearly now the rain is gone...

i'm so glad it doesn't look like this when i look outside the window, anymore!it changes everything! one of my Favorite things is to go on a walk with James, Max and the dogs back in the orchard behind our house - especially when the mustard's in bloom! So beautiful! I love my family! I'm so ready for Spring!

parties and playtime!

max loves girls - his Mama and Mimi (my mom), McKenna, Dutchess and Tatumn is actually his only cousin(My stepbrother Ezra's daughter)! we've been to lots of playdates recently (yeah for the the new clean McDonald's playplace!) and birthday parties! So much fun! Now you see why he zonked out on the couch standing up! for real! Oh, and i always knew when i had a little girl she'd get into my makeup, but i walked in on max covered in my victoria's secret love spell purple glitter powder ALL over his face and everything else! hilarious! i had a lot of explaining to do to his daddy about why he was so sparkly!

make-up madness!

okay, so in the last week (and only 4 days of it) I've done 18 people's makeup! aaah! crazy! these pics are from the fashion show and that was the week before (so not including the 9 I did that day!)! I've consults one after the other and my Valentine's Day special and brides contacting me every other day! I have like 14 weddings booked for this year already! So, yes, I'm staying busy...beyond. I'll post more soon. I'm whooped!
Oh, and check out this bride's blog: http://katystardust.blogspot.com
