Jan - March 2018

We welcomed 2018 with open arms!  And it was a great year!  Here is the quick-ish recap!  I'm still playing catch-up from putting it off for a year with the loss of Daxon.  But we are getting there!

They wanted to match the hair on their dolls!

Love these smiles!!
We were able to take an amazing family vacation at the beginning of January.  We went to Disneyland in April 2017 (Daxon's due date) to get away and to honor him by making precious family memories together.  We decided to make it happen again for his 1year birthday!  It also coincided with my LuLaRoe business trip so it was perfect!

At the airport!
Day 1- We spent the first part of the week in San Diego!
Sea World was a blast!










That night we ate at one of my favorite restaurants, Corvette Diner!  It is so much dang fun!




The next day we went to LegoLand!  We absolutely loved it!  We will definitely be visiting again!  It was a little rainy so we had the place mostly to ourselves!































That night we ate at another favorite! Casa De Bandini!! yummmmmm!

Day 3 was a travel/regroup day!  On our way to Anaheim, we stopped at the beach!  We were so grateful that the rain stopped and clouds parted for the 2 hours we were there!  I love the ocean and Jade couldn't get enough!  Poor Lainey also couldn't get enough on accident!  She was tackled by a wave in the freezing water haha!  That's why the last couple pictures, pants were optional haha







We checked into the Disneyland hotel and one of the first people we see is Goofy!! Poor Lainey slid right off his leg!
Pooped but ready for a day at Disneyland!
January 10, Daxon's birthday.  I'm so grateful we were able to spend the day as a family laughing and loving.





Lunch Break!




The Frozen Show is one of our favorites!
I'll also never forget... while we were standing in line for this, I got a message from our dear friends Jenni, Brittany, Stacy, and Stephanie.  They had taken the time out of their day to go to visit Daxon's grave and decorate it for his birthday.  I was bawling.  I have the best friends ever.

Me and Jade snuck back that night for the World of Color show on the water and it was so cool!





Day 5- Disneyland day 2

Sassy little models haha!
This was the sweetest thing ever... Lainey just snuggled right up to Bert from Mary Poppins!  They just kept hugging and hugging.  It was so sweet.



It's a Small World!  Always the first and last ride we do!
Minnie's house!







Classic Toon Town!



I love the castle all lit up!


We caught the tail end of all the characters on the big Ferry!

We were starving so we stopped to eat in Downtown Disney on our way back to the hotel.  Poor Lainey was so spent she missed the whole thing haha!
The last 2 days of the vacation were spent learning, growing and bettering my business!  LuLaRoe has blessed mine and my families lives so much! I'm so grateful that I'm able to provide the extra income to make these vacations happen!
This is our CEO Mark Stidham!  He is so amazing and I love hearing from him


Here is the owner and founder Deanne Stidham!  Jade was my date to the closing party and Deanne stopped what she was doing to come over and say hi to Jade! It was so sweet!

Tom was so awesome at entertaining them at the hotel during my trainings!
We had a wonderful vacation and can't wait until our next one!

Always my little LuLa helpers and models!
Such a relieving day this was!  We had our last "all clear" from Maternal Fetal Medicine!  Our baby girl is looking great!  We are SOOOO HAPPY!
Team Training with my team to go over what I learned at Leadership!
Date night!
Feeling good!
Best nap cuddler
Fun little Valentine's party hosted by Stephanie!

So glad when Daddy comes home!
Tom and I were moved from teaching the 6 year olds in Primary to teaching the Sunbeams!  We actually ended up loving it, especially teaching our little Lainey!
Jade working hard for her 100 day of school by gluing 100 eyeballs on her shirt!  Nailed it!
Always bittersweet to visit baby boy.  We love and miss him so.

Delivery buddy!

I love how she loves to line up all her toys!
She's my shopping buddy, nail buddy, and my partner in crime!




Valentine's Day tradition of going to Magelby's lives on!  I am so grateful to have the love of my life!

Matchy matchy!
Date night to Dry Bar Comedy!


SNOW DAY!

Library fun!
Always gotta take advantage for a LuLaRoe photo app!
This pretty little girl is almost 6!!!

Home Decor shopping! haha
Happy Birthday Grandma!!  I love this 3 generation picture!


They are so cute I can't handle it!

Shocker... more adorable pictures of Lainey asleep! haha

And can't forget this little fashionista that never naps!!
HAPPY 6TH BIRTHDAY JADE!!

The big/traumatic thing she wanted for her birthday was to get her ears pierced!  And I mean, wow, it was traumatic haha!  For us and everyone in the mall!  There was only one worker so we learned that doing one ear at a time was a big mistake!  But she was brave and we got it done!  And she looks beautiful!
We had her party at Lowe's bounce house and had a blast!

Birthday girl with Gammy and Gampy!



Jade we love you so.  We are so proud of the sweet, fun, energetic, caring little 6 year old you are!
Spring is coming!
