How I Spent My Summer Vacation: PART I

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!"
