While I am gone on this Girls Weekend trip-Sandra comes to stay with Jon & the girls. While she is here the girls along with her help like to plant a garden. So before she does her green thumb thing I had the girls weed out last years garden.
No men on the corner were hired for this job--100% free child labor!
Not bad huh - This makes one HAPPY MOM & DAD!
I've been wanting to SHED those "last 20 lbs" after having my four girls. I realized I didnt have a "before" photo of me-but found this one. I've COMPLETELY changed the way I eat, the way I eat out, the way I work out-I've never been healthier and happier! I'm vigorously pushing Nuriche along to help as many people as I can-it's so fun! I cant WAIT to post the photo of my friend who's lost over 80 lbs with Nuriche & exercise next.
This is my friend Erin. She has struggled to have a baby of her own. Breaks my heart. If Jon didnt break his neck-I would be a surrogate for her in a HEART BEAT! I am sad that I can't do that for her. Oh how I WISH that I could! Being adopted myself I was one of her first calls to learn more information. I will FOREVER be grateful to parents that wanted children so bad-they flew CLEAR to Brazil for a little brown eyed, brown haired 2 year old.
Easter was good-Sat we hit Irvine park with Scott & Kellie's side of the family. Then Sunday we ate with Jons family (small-just us, Mom & Dad, Scott & Kellie).
Earlier in the week-the girls saw that I had just purchased 99 cent cheapo plastic eggs and candy-they asked if they could all put candy in the eggs. SURE WHY NOT! (Is that like having them wrap their own xmas presents?! -cool I didnt think so either!)Then Easter Eve Rachel & Sarah hid all the eggs. Rachel asked me "Mom are you going to do clues for our baskets like you always do?" I being kind of tired from the long day said "Well I hadnt planned on it" Rachel sighed a small "ahhhh" I asked her "Oh do you like that?" Her eyes got REAL big--"Yeah I love it!" So I managed to come up with 5 clues for each of them. The older two girls I made harder clues. The LAST clue for their basket was "When you want to look hip -you come here!" They couldn't figure it out--DUH it's MY CLOSET since they BOTH wear ALL MY CLOTHES!!!
Today I took the older two girls to find cute dresses for their 6th & 8th grade graduations-DUDE WHY DIDNT I HAVE BOYS?! I can just give them a tie and be done with it all. We searched EVERYWHERE for a DECENT MODEST dress. I SWEAR everything is strapless and no joke just under the butt.
Drives me batty. It's sad to think pretty much all the girls will be sporting these trendy looks on the graduation runway--except for mine. Oh well. So if anyone knows where I can get two decent dresses that dont look like they are 12 sizes too small LET ME KNOW!!!!

check out the internet for modest dresses. There are tons in Utah! Maybe you should make a road trip...we'd love to see you!!! ;)
Wow. You know I love the Mother in law garden, so cool.
Those GNO/weekend things are very cool.
Just had a discussion with Shawn's side o'the family about short dresses. One neice tried on all her prom dresses and they were "slightly" longer than your dress in the picture. I thought they were too short, but since she had already bought it, I didn't tell her I would NEVER let my daughter wear that. She said there is nothing out there that's modest. PERIOD.
Ahh, good luck finding dresses. I would not want to do that. Thankfully here is happy valley modest dress stores are popping up to help us out.
I need a GNO. It's been a very long times. Like years since I have done that.
Sandra is so nice. I still feel like I am supposed to call her Sis. Hales. I think I will always feel like I am 15 around her and Bro. Hales.
Many bridal stores have bolero jackets that could work for a strapless dress. Another option would be to order a dress online as there are some stores that sell modest formal wear.
