2 Years Old

Morgan turned 2 on August 4th.

We spent the day taking a trip to the park, going shopping, playing with friends, and having dinner at our house with my parents, sister and Shawn's uncle. It was a great day!

On Monday we enjoyed a swim date with our good friends Lynne, Brooke and Tatum. Morgan just adores these girls and Tatum wishes she could keep "Morgie" forever!

Our little Princess...she has quite the personality now. She is pretty grumpy if I have to wake her up in the mornings...she likes to be on her own schedule. Usually when we are home she runs around in just panties, sometimes I can get her to wear a shirt...but she prefers to wear a dress everyday...We definitely have a little DIVA on our hands.

I had to post this picture...someday she will be mad at me for taking it. She LOVES, LOVES her babies and baby stroller. We do NOT get to leave the house without it. Over the past year Morgan has reached so many new milestones, here are a few...

• speaking in sentence form
• potty trained (which now she has figured out that going into EVERY bathroom in EVERY store is fun...for her)
• counts to 10
• can swim
• has majority of her teeth
• LOVES to bounce on the trampoline

She is growing so fast, and learning so much! We just LOVE her!

You say it's your BIRTHDAY...

Well it's My BIRTHDAY too....August 1st, August 4th...we celebrate my moms birthday and Morgan's birthday...Moms best gift ever was when Morgan was born, she says her gift was a few days late!

What better way to celebrate...a rainy day, friends, food, and FUN. All the kids decorated aprons with their names and other fun foam stickers.

EXHAUSTED!!

Awe...the Minne outfit is finally off and I can just relax...I just know that is what she was saying in her mind..

Picture overload...

We have been so busy lately with Christmas in July parties, birthday parties, Mary Kay parties. and No reason Parties...here comes a picture overload for you...be prepared!

Our first is our bathtub parties...Morgan LOVES taking baths...she usually stays in the tub for at least 30 to 45 minutes each time. The other day after I washed her hair she asked me to brush it...and that is when I realized how long her hair is! With it being curly I did not really notice, but it is growing and growing!

Next we have parties for wearing big girl panties...NO MORE DIAPERS!! I just had to take this photo and share it with her pants to big and her little panties hangin' out as she admired the fountain.

Over the weekend we headed up to Prescott Valley to party with Shawn's family for Shawn's dad's birthday. We BBQ'd on Saturday and enjoyed the cool weather then the boys went golfing on Sunday, so the kids and I headed to downtown Prescott for a little shopping and sight seeing. It was very enjoyable!

 

Lunch parties with our friends...Every Monday we head to the movies with our friends, we did lunch the other day and had a blast!! When all of us are together there are 7 kids and 3 moms...such a great way to start our week!

 

Mud Parties for the boys...BBQing up north, listening to the boys playing, then all of a sudden it was quiet and no boys were in sight...this is what we found them doing after searching for them...having a mud party!!

So here they are...this week is filled again with more parties and more fun! So until next time....

The Milner Unit

This past week started out with our Aloha Awards night with Mary Kay. Shawn and I went to the awards dinner together...on the way there Shawn asked me if I would be getting an award...my words were....No babe, I have only been in for 6 months...almost everyone else in the unit have been in for the full year, there is NO way I have done as much as them. The conversation ended there and we went to the dinner just expecting to hang out with the other couples...

We had an amazing dinner, then the awards started....Chrissy Shero...Chrissy Shero...Chrissy Shero....

what?? I thought, how, when...huh me, as I looked around waiting for another Chrissy Shero to walk up.

I received the Miss Go-Give Award. In Mary Kay this award is the most prestigious award you can receive. The other consultants nominate the person who they feel has gone above and beyond for their unit, team, and customers. I received a beautiful necklace. (Sorry the pic is so far away)

Oh and the awards did not stop there...Next was the Queen of Sales and Queen of Recruiting....

Our director does the top four out of her unit, of over 60, I was the 2nd for recruiting, and the 4th for sales. Seriously...I did that good and have only been in this business for 6 months!!

Stacey and I received a beautiful necklace and earring set. Stacey was in the top four as well...1st in sales and 1st in recruiting!

 

It was a great night and now I am pumped and ready to soar this Mary Kay year!!

On Wednesday we had our very first Mary Kay Amazing Race...Stacey and I were STAR Consultants for the 4th quarter, so we got to attend the STAR Party...which this quarter was an Amazing Race. We started at the church on TOP of the mountain near the cross...(God first)

then headed to the Chevy dealership to test drive our first FREE car...a fully loaded Chevy Malibu.

Then went to the mall to get 10 names and numbers of girls to facial...

Next, was Chick-fil-a for a QUICK...bit to eat...and cow decorating contest...(mine won)

Last was to Speed Street to take a race around the track...we were asked if we were a professional racing team because of our attire...

This was the best Amazing Race ever...the Milner Unit, our unit, WON!! We are strong leaders and LOVE to be at the top!!

We just booked our first Sorority at ASU for a HUGE, HUGE event...I cannot wait for all the others to start booking too!

Christmas in July

Well you are all probably wondering what in the heck I have Christmas backgrounds and music on my blog for....well I will tell you that this month is a Christmas in July month for our family!

It's the most ridiculous time of the year
with kids belly flopping
and everyone yelling "it's...a dry heat"
It's the most ridiculous time of the year.

It's the hot, hottest season of all
with those monsoon greetings and dust storm beatings
when no rain comes until fall
It's the hot, hottest season of all.

You'll be poolside for cooling
and everyone fooling
around in the backyard of snow
there'll be scary temperatures upon us
and tales of cool Christmas' so, long long ago

It's the most ridiculous time of the year
there'll be much barbecuing and faces will be glowing
when ice cream cones are near
It's the most ridiculous time of the year.

I had to share the invitation that my parents sent out to all of our friends and family for their Christmas in July party. The invite was concluded with this statement: Please bring Santa suits & Wrapping paper (swim suits and towels)!

So excited for our FUN and EXCITING month!
