Yup...TJ turned 9!

TJ turned 9 on Aug 12th. He requested we rent the blow up slide....Well he asked if I would buy him one but...renting was what he got!

For the past four months he has been talking about a Pirates Birthday so thats what he got!

 

Going with the theme I decided to have them all go on a tresure hunt! I didnt get much pictures of the actual hunt because I was busy hidding the treasure! (Dad was picking up the pizza so I was hosting a party alone)

TJ got SUPER SPOILED this year! I swear he got at least $500 worth of legos! and with all the birthday money he bought more legos!

Blowing out the candles...Look dad finally made it to the party! :)

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!

LIVin it in Vegas!!!

Jana and I had a Liv Skinney confrence in Vegas this last weekend....So we decided why not make a family trip out of it. So we loaded up the campers and headed to Vegas. TJ couldnt miss that much school so he stayed with Grandma and Grandpa Carr.

The girls loved the comfort of having their campers! Obviously I was at the confrence all the time so I didnt get any pics of them playin at Circus Circus, the playground and the swimming pool.

This is Lee...AMAZING MAN!!! The first time I heard him on a team call a little over a month ago I told Jana...I AM going to meet that man some day!...and I DID!!! Lee you are a great example to me and I cant wait to see you in Dallas in a few weeks!!!

This is The Man! The man that created these Amazing products! JEFF TUTTLE!!! This man is a genious! Seriously...im not just saying that! He is so down to earth! Really cares about everyone and wants the world to be healthy! You can feel his love the moment you see him!

Part of the Vernal Team! We are ALL ROCKSTARS!!!



Valentines day at the Salon...

Every Monday Jana and I go to the salon to clean, sweep, mop, dust, organize, ect...This monday Jana's daughter had a dentist apt so Jana didnt come till about ten thirty. Taylor and I got there bright and early around nine fifteenish....On Saturday we had a little bit of a water leak so the ladies put a trash can under it. This is pretty normal...For the past three years the salon always leakes somewhere... When I got there Monday morning the can was pretty much full!....I started doing all the sweeping and moping and had just finished when Jana arrived. I then started the dusting and organizing of the Boutique. Jana called the landloard and he said he would be right over...and lituraly three min later....He said that he would have one of "his guys" come check it out. Jana then left to run to the bank to get change for the till. While she was gone I had got about 85% of the way finished with all the cleaning and such when the landloard and his guy came back. They climbed up in and out of the ceiling...They chatted amongst themselves for a minute and then the landlord said...(you have to remember that he is chines and talks a houndred miles an hour with that broken english) "You closed today? We fix ceiling today! You open tomorrow!" This was great news....the water leak was right over Rosalies hair and nail stations and another right as you walk in the door. I called Jana told her to get here NOW! I started to load EVERYTHING that I had just dusted and organized and move it to the back room. The land lord then asked if he could walk through the whole salon and check things out (He just bought our building about 4 months ago) Long story short not only are we getting a new ceiling on Saturday he will be putting tile in the bathroom and the backroom and a new cuboard and counter top in the backroom! THIS IS GREAT NEWS!!! Now for the not  so good news....Remember how he said they would be finished Monday night...well...Jana and I went back to the salon around 7:30 last night to put the salon back together....It was a DISASTER!!! I guess the leak was coming from the sprinkling system so it turned into a HUGE project....another long story short....the Salon is closed today...but...NO MORE LEAK!!!

Its hard to tell whats going on because of all the insulation flyin around...

Valentines 2011

I lost my camera two weeks ago so I have no pictures of my Red Family Home Evening dinner with the Homes and Zufelts but...it was still a way fun night anyways!Two days after our Red FHE I FOUND MY CAMERA!!! Taylor must have walked off with it...I found it in her toy bucket...

The day I found my camera the Relief Society Presadent called and asked if I wouldnt mind making some treats for a family in our ward who hasnt been feeling well...of course since I am the RS sec how could I tell her no...Nor did I want to miss a chane to Bake Treats!

I hade TONZ left over so I made an extra plate for Jason to bring to the missionaries that night at his meeting.

Like I said before we had our Red Dinner the week before so this Heart Shaped Pizza from Papa Murphy's is what the Carr Family eat for dinner...Jason said it looked like a regular pizza but with a Bite taken out of the top....

These are my Beautiful Flowers Jason sent to me while I was down at the Salon cleaning....

Happy Valentines Day...
