Penelope Lane Bow Parties

Lorena and her cute girls hosted such a great Penelope Lane bow party last night! 

It was so much fun!!

I love it when my sister is able to come and help me. 

She is so awesome and such a good helper! 

Lorana had these AHHH~MAZING treats out that we enjoyed (a little too much)!!

 Thanks Lorana and girls for SUCH a fun party! Your friends and family are so fun and so sweet!

 If you are interested in hosting a bow party, contact me and we can set something up. If you are local (orange County/Long Beach) I can come to you. If you do not live in Southern California, I ship boxes all the time now so people can host their own show where ever they live!! 

Bow parties are so easy, you just invite your friends over for a party or open house, they come over to mingle and shop and then you earn 10% of what the party earns to use towards free hair accessories (example Party earns $700 you get $70 of free hair accessories)! 

No presentation no pressure involved. Just super fun and easy!

Girls Weekend/WIWW

 
Last weekend a few of us tired moms girlfriends had a chance to get away on a girls trip to Laguna Beach. My parents have a cute little vacation rental there and it just so happened to be open last weekend!
 It was such a treat and the weather was ahhh-mazing!!

On Friday we spent the entire day shopping. I have not done that in years!! The Irvine Spectrum has so many fun stores to shop in. We hit up Downeast Outfitters first and spent about two hours in there! They were having a crazy sale! After a morning of shopping we took a Diet Coke and cookie break for an hour just chatting. I loved not having an agenda and not being rushed and not having to worry about picking up kids from school on time. Such a treat in deed! 

(Above Maxi Dress from Sears. I call it my "hysterectomy dress". After my hysterectomy, I could only wear dresses because the incisions on my stomach were so sensitive. So this dress always reminds me of that time).  

 

Dinner at Olamendi's on PCH at Sunset.

 

Saturday morning breakfast at the Cottage. 

 Baja Omelet =oh yum!

We all look a little tired from staying up until 1:30 chatting! I love these girls so much. They are much more than just friends to me, they feel like sisters and I feel SO blessed to have them in my life. 

   

I LOVED my weekend away with my dear friends and came home so rested and refreshed to my little family!  This little guy was so cute when he saw me. 

Melted my heart!

I love love

I LOVE being in love. 

I love that I have had a huge crush on this guy for the past fourteen years! 

I love how I could not WAIT to marry him and how young and in love we were.

I love how we had no idea what we were getting into, but it did not matter because we were in LOVE!

I love that we built our relationship on friendship first.

I love that we value marriage and the promise that we made to one another. 

I love how serious we both take that promise. 

 I LOVE this man and I am forever and ever thankful for him.

Ten years ago when I married him, I was pretty sure that he would make a good husband and I was right.

I thought he would make a good father too.... 

 and I was right.

(disclaimer: you might want to grab some crackers to go with this cheese) 

He brings so much joy and happiness into my life every day. I love living a life with him. I love raising children together with him. I am so grateful for his endless love and sacrifice for our family. I love our weekly dates, I love our team work. I love that we communicate well. I love that we have peace and joy in our home.  I love his love for the Savior and his dedication to teaching our children about Him.

 

I love taking the kids on one on one dates with him.

 I love going on new adventures together.

I love that we both love the beach and spend so much time with our kids there.

I love that he gets in a wheelchair every Saturday and is such a support to Katie and all the other kids at wheelchair sports. (above putting on a wheelchair demonstration at the girls school during disability awareness month) 

I love that he is a fun and silly dad

I love that he loves helping the kids try new things

 

I love that we can do hard things together. 

I love that he supports my dreams

I am so thankful for Bryant and for the beautiful life he has helped to give me and our children.  

I love that he is my forever Valentine.

I love love.

Do you love love too?
