One LONG 4th of July Weekend...

The first weekend in July was probably one of the longest weekends of my life....Heres a few pics so you can get just a slight taste of what we did all weekend trying to get the salon up and ready to function for Tuesday morning...
 This was the desk that had at least one million pieces and 500 pages of instructions with just pictures...no words...Meagan and I started it...then had to call in Vince and Jason to help.
 Its a good think I married such a handy man that can fix anything including plumbing my crazy shampoo bowls! Oh look you can see the trailer thats filled with trash...and my new car!
This was one of the bookshelves that I put together...I have three little and three big..they were a pain!
Taylor and Brooke were such good troopers that weekend! They played so well together....for the most part :)

I have to give a HUGE Thank You to Vince and Meagan! They were there all weekend washing walls, cleaning toilets, painting, pulling weeds, steam cleaning with a super fun new toy, putting together hair stations with little instructions and tons of pieces, hooking up my computer, many trips to Lowes and SO SO SO much more! I truely am lucky to have such great family to help and support me in all my life adventures!

Taylor Turned 3!!!

Taylor woke up wanting Cake...I mean it was here birthday! So we stopped at Mcdonalds on our way to the salon and picked up some panCakes!
(Some background...I just opened my own salon and it just so happend that the day before Taylors birthday was the day that we got to get into the location to start getting everything ready. I planned on opening the following Tuesday at 9 so we had to work through the whole 4th of July weekend and Taylors birthday was that Saturday.)
After we ate our breakfast "cakes" I decided that I couldnt take anymore birthday pictures without Taylors hair being done...so we did the birthday girls hair!

Later that evening after working hard all day putting stations and desks and plumbing together we took a break and headed to the park for some chicken and cake. Grandma and Grandpa Carr and Fisher came, and Vince, Meagan and Brooke were in town helping us so they got to come as well. Taylors cousin Emily was in town visiting too!
Taylor was spoiled as usal!

 She loved opening all the presants!

 Her Minney Mouse Cake that she talked about for two weeks before!

Taylor had a special phone call from her brother TJ who was away visiting his mother in Salt Lake for her birthday and...

 A special phone call from Grandpa Park and...


SAMOA...She told Grandma and Grandpa about how she got to play with Brookie all day at the salon!
