It's hard to believe that 3 years ago I was cradling this little boy in my arms and rocking him to sleep. Now, I can hardly get him to hold still long enough for a hug and a kiss!
He, of course, wanted a TRANSFORMER birthday party and so I did as I was told and in Blake's words "made the best TRANSFORMER cake EVER!"
Soon after turning 3, I decided to FINALLY take the plunge and potty-train Blake. Why is potty-training always so dreadful? Oh, because it is!!!We won't go into details about the potty-training, but he is done and he is officially a "Big Boy" now! Yay! I have been changing diapers for the last 7+ years...it's amazing to not have anyone in diapers anymore...w00-hoo for me!
We also participated in the 4th of July parade and Pioneer parades here in town...both holidays are very festive here!
The boys had a blast running for candy and dancing in the street.
Oh, and POP ROCKS...you can't celebrate either one of these holidays without them. Luckily, their Uncle Michael hasn't shown them how to pop them in someones ear yet...ha ha (remember that Michael!)Onto other exciting news...our Vinyl Wall Lettering website is complete!
Feel free to check it out www.iwallvinyl.com Since completing our website we have been contacted by Albertsons and will be providing wall lettering for up to 300 stores! YEAH!
We're still trying to figure out how we're going to handle all of the volume once orders start piling in, but we are VERY excited about this news and anxious to share it with you all!
And, last...the most exciting part of my summer...(drumroll, please!) Posing for SHAPE magazine!Yeah, I wish! Devon has been taking some Digital Imaging classes and used me as his guinea pig. I have to admit, I do appreciate the digital enhancements (if you know what I mean) and the flawless, perfectly glowing skin!
As you can see, my little blogging peeps, we have had a very exciting summer! I know you've missed me, so stay tuned for Part II of How I Spent My Summer Vacation.Here's a sneak peek..."Slumber Parties" and "F*$@ Gerber!"

WOW, you look awesome. I'm jealous of the flawless body. Maybe I can send Devon some pictures and he can do something with me. LOL that is hilarious. I'm still trying to potty train Andy. Slow but sure. I think I'll have the new baby by the time he is done so no diaperless days for me. Cute, cute pictures of the kids at the parade, etc. I'm excited you are back to blogging and thanks for letting me be the first comment.
Oh, ya cool that you are doing the vinyl lettering business. Maybe you can do some stuff for me when we move to our new house. I'll be in touch for business transactions, etc.
I didn't think it was a joke at all! I totally believed the cover picture. You look amazing. Congrats on the business front. Good for you.

I won't say anything about how happy I am that you're finally blogging again... The pictures were great. The websites great. Can't wait for part II. Also, can we have at least one blog where you don't mention me and pop rocks?
Your Blake is such a cutie. You are going to have priceless stories for years to come with him. It was wonderful to see you and your family at Michael's wedding. I'm so glad we were able to make it.
You look gorgeous in that picture. Devon did awesome! :) And congrats on your website! That's amazing to have such a big customer right up front. My sister-in-law has a ribbon website, which I've heard all about so it's fun to see other people succeeding as well. I'm going to check out your site now! :)
I'm so glad you're back - I've missed your blogs! And I couldn't tell any difference on the cover of Shape Magazine - you ALWAYS look gorgeous like that!
Um, I think you've done more this summer than most people do in a year. Congrats on the new website - it looks fantastic! That is very exciting.
Oh, and I'd hate you for your gorgeous body if I didn't already love you so much. You look fantastic!
You're so cute! That cover looks FANTASTIC!! I totally need to go to the gym after looking at that:). VERY exciting about the Albertson's deal! I will go check out your new site right now.
Yay for potty training! Yay for the Albertsons contract! And Yay for you looking SO good!! I like the magazine cover. I bet it doesn't lead us very wrong at all. ;)
Holy cow! I love the magazine "cover" you look amazing! It was great to see you a couple times this summer and I'm so glad things are working out so well for you! You deserve it!
Yay, welcome back! I have been missing your blog. Now you just have to keep it up! Looks like a fun summer! Can't wait to hear more.
It sounds like you guys have had a busy summer too! I love that you did your own model shoot for Shape magizine! You are so cute! Congratulations on your deal with Albertson's. That is so exciting. I miss hanging out with you. I think it's time for us to move to Utah!
You are such an amazing person. Love seeing you and your darling kids. Your talents are endless. Fab body!!
Yay! An update! I will try and call you again sometime soon now that I'm back and hopefully getting my life somewhat back to normal. The pictures of the kids are darling, your cover picture looks great - gotta love Devon!, and another business - WOW!! I need to talk to you sometime for some pointers and tips since I need to be doing something now that I am down to one child at home and lots of college expenses. I'm now going to go and check out your website :)
Maybe we'll all be working for you pretty soon! Sounds GREAT! I hope all your hard work leading up to this point really pay off!
You have had a busy summer! Yay for no more diapers!!!!
You look absolutely georgous in that picture! Are we related?
So exciting about the potty training and the Albertsons! sounds like you guys are going to need to hire help! Can't wait to here the final verdict on the Gerber lawsuit!
That is awesome news on the wall vinyling--a very big congratulations to you all!!
Can't believe Blake is 3! Oh time flies too fast....
Seriously Kim that cover is great! Congrats on you vinyl it couldn't of happened to a better person.
Hey can you do vinyl for car windows? And I totally love the magazine cover, I want one:), and yes, potty training SUCKS!!!!
It seems like it was just yesterday we were sitting around the pool pregnant and talking. Blake can't already be 3 can he? Time flies. Congrats on the contract with Albertsons. That is so exciting. You might have to hire someone! And your cover is beautiful! What airbrushing? As if you need it! My lettering turned out perfectly, thank you so much! I put a pic on my blog. We miss you guys tons! That was a great cake by the way. YOu have another talent! Love you guys!
That cake was awsome!!! I am inspired. I didn't do b-day parties last year, I was all b-dayed out from previous years. They just flip around way to stinkin fast. So this year I'm all revved up, ready for some party fun. It's going to be great. My baby boy will be 3 too and he also really loves transformers, and hot wheels... so its going to be interesting.
vinyl lettering??? Geeze. You are really good at marketing and things like that. You make it look easy. That's a great idea, just like the creataONSIE thing.
Husband out of a job? Oh, no problem, I'll just whip over here for a sec and make a crap load of money!
Seriously, you're pretty impressive. :)
