MARCH--a month of 'Firsts'!

*Hosted my first Bridal Shower on Feb.27th for one of our favorite babysitter/nanny/tutors, Lisa Sanford. Putting 40 people in our house was one crazy party! Thank heavens for the 3 other ladies-Heather, Cheryl, and Linda- who helped me TONS with food, games and more! Best part were the 35 vases I got for free which we then filled with Trader Joes ($1.29 for TEN stems) daffodils and used to decorate my house AND also give as party favors!





*Updated my Easter decor (just a bit) for first time in 13 years--just in time for the bridal shower guests of course!




*Worked all weekend March5-6 (behind the scenes of course) on our church young women's group first professional-scale Modesty Fashion Show with around thirty vendors donating the clothes and over 50 teen girls thrilled to wear them down a catwalk in front of 400 people (with real stylists doing their hair & make up too!).






*Carter cut his own hair for first time at church=awesome! McKinley found a pair of shoes that she absolutely won't take off (and some of her sister's dolls too). Kennidy and Madison took their American Girl dolls 'ice skating' for first time! (Chris was a little worried when Santa brought those dolls to our house two years ago, but seriously they have been the BEST thing for sister-bonding! Worth every penny in my book ;0). And last, we tried out Fire and Ice BBQ (our old favorite restaurant in Providence RI), right here in Anaheim, CA with my brother Brycen and his latest round of DECA recruits!
