Our mini vacation to VEGAS!

We spent this past week in Vegas for Steve's National Convention with AFLAC. This is his 3rd year qualifying-and let me tell you it is not something easy to do. He works very hard for our "reward" trips. We love them! It's nice to go on an all expense paid trip for a week. What company gives you spending money as well! We had a great time! We stayed in the Venetian Hotel (which was awesome!). The only thing I did not like was that I had to pay $30 a day to work out....needless to say, I chose to spend my money elsewhere and I walked for several hours everyday.

We were able to see "Mama Mia"-which I LOVED! I highly recommend it! It was a great evening. We also saw Wayne Brady LIVE. He was excellent. If you like "Whose line is it anyways", you will love his show. We had back stage passes to "Jubilee" as well. Steve especially liked this show! We went to the movies, ate, shopped, hung out with friends,played the slots and tables,and relaxed.

One of the highlights of the trip for us, was seeing our friends Angie and Gary Irvin. When Stephen first started in the insurance industry 20 years ago-Gary owned the company "Marketing and Management" that Steve worked for. Gary taught Steve everything he knows. He has always been a mentor to Steve. We had 10 years of great memories and fun with the Irvins. Since then, they sold the company to another insurance underwriter. Gary is now with AFLAC< and is a District Sales Coordinator like Steve in Arizona. It was so fun to see them and spend some time with them.

Our next trip that we are in contest for is in progress now. It is our state convention in April. It will be a 9 day cruise to the Carribbean. We are excited, and Steve-o is hitting it hard tomorrow.

Vegas 2007!

What Color are you?

You Are a Blue Crayon

Your world is colored in calm, understated, deep colors. You are a loyal person, and the truest friend anyone could hope to find. On the inside, you tend to be emotional and even a bit moody. However, you know that people depend on you. So you put on a strong front. Your color wheel opposite is orange. Orange people may be opinionated, but you feel they lack the depth to truly understand what they're saying.

"Super" Saturday

So, I am a little behind in my life here. I just wanted to say thanks to all my friends who pulled off a great Super Saturday last weekend! What a great day for all who came. It's always fun to get together with friends, and I personally think I have the greatest friends in the world!

Progress

Well we are finally making some progress after a few months of new birdies. Our good friends Cami and Matt came over yesterday and clipped their wings and talons. Camie worked with me for quite some time on training them. Alot of training seems to be patience-and well we all know that that is one virtue I lack! Anyways by 15 minutes into them being here, they were calming down and by the evening they were being held out of their cages and not freaking out! That darn Samson was flying around my house for 15 minutes before we caught him. The kids have never been able to handle them like they did "Tink", but hey this is progress, and I am hopeful!

*Please note that we dont let Mason hold the birds on his own EVER!

The Finished product

Well many of you-my fellow bloggers have asked what the finished product of the girlies hair was. SO, I finally took some photos this morning. Mikayla's isnt much different. It does have the blonde highlights in it, and is significantly shorter-but it was already so long, it dosent seem to be much different to me. Megs-well hers is a different story. It is darling short, and she is loving it and I think that thats all that matters when you are 8.

chop! chop!

We three girlies had a day at the beauty house of my dear friend Kellie. We love Kellie, she always does such a great job! Not to mention she is great company when your getting your hair done. And of course its always a treat when Dan-o, Mason and JoJo are running around...gotta love the laughter of little boys.

Anyways,our cute Megs wanted all of her beautiful black hair chopped off. Twas her choice and wow-she is so darn cute! We love it, and might I add it is my favorite style on her. I much prefer her hair short, it just sits so cute with her pixie face.

Mikayla girl cut her hair up to the middle of her back (probably 7 inches), and had Kellie highlight her blonde. Oh she is so grown up, and just loves it. She cant stop looking at herself and touching her hair.

Me, well I did the usual coloring of the grey. Had some highlites and a trim.
Its always a great feeling getting your hair done! Thanks Kell-you did great!
