I'm licensed again!!!

I'm looking back at this picture and can't actually believe that I had to RETAKE MY STATE BOARDS!! This just doesn't happen. There is prob not another hair dresser that was a dumb as I and let their license expire to the point of taking all the tests again. AND then ACTUALLY taking all of the tests again. I am so incredibly thankful that that time in my life is over!! But I am so IMPRESSED with my self that thru all the tears and anger and bitterness and failing that I kept pushing on determined to get it all back. Even more so when it was during a time when I hated doing hair and wanting to give it up all together. But I fought for it and now it will still be my choice as to what happens with me and hair. MY CHOICE. Not DOPLS choice. 

I am a bad A

 My dear sweet friend brought over this lost dog and convinced us to keep it overnight until animal control could come and get her...of course Chloe and "Misty" bonded right away and she was heartbroken to have to let this dog go. It was then that we knew the time was really coming that we needed to get our own dog. No more excuses. So in a way I guess I'm thanking my friend for the inconvienience she brought into my life.

 Mothers Day was great! The kids and TJ woke up and made me breakfast in bed and the kids made me so many sweet crafts from school and on their own. I truly love being a mom and seriously have the best most amazing kids!!

 Chloe had her first track and field day this year and it was so fun to go and watch her run her little heart out!

 I moved all of my hair stuff into the pantry because I was so tired of it being up so high and having to get on a chair to get anything. But then I ran into the problem of where to put the food! I am working on an open shelving pantry and when I'm done I'll put a picture in.

 The girls had a lot of fun playing soccer this year. They both improved so much!

 This is Lexi on her water day in kindergarten. I couldn't be there to help but I have some great friends who sent me some pictures so I could see the fun.

 Kasen is FINALLY potty trained!! The girls one day told him that if he put on underwear and kept it on all day and if he had it on when they got home from school then I would buy him a new paw patrol toy. Surprisingly he did which is amazing because putting on the darn underwear has been the biggest hurdle. But once he did he was a pro and by the next day he was going potty without even telling me all on his own. And he is so cute in those little undies. And that day I sold all of my diapers, even the bed time ones and we have never looked back. I can't believe I am out of that stage in my life. Very bittersweet.

Here is Tallie in her 4th grade program. She was so embarrassed when I came up to her and took her picture. Totally the reason why I did it.
