I have had a very busy week. Mom had her first jewelry show her at my house. I invited about 40 women and 25 or so came. She sold over $850 in 4 hours. She booked 3 shows for now until Christmas. She was THRILLED! And so were we. It was hard work, but it paid off. God is really blessing her business now and she is creating some really beautiful pieces now. I am proud of her! She deserves it!!!
To bless us for our help she took us girls to Schlitterbahn. We stayed the night and made it a mini 2 day trip. We had a BLAST! We even took all three girls down a water ride. Cami was so SCARED! Bless her heart! She had no idea what was going to happen. Ryen and Amaris LOVED it! Next year we are going to get season tickets and go all the time. We called our trip, "Girl's Just Wanna Have Fun Trip"! Thanks mom for making a memory with us!
I need to upload my pictures that are on my camera, but I cannot find the cord. New computer issues!
In other news:
Our porta potty business is growing. We hired a dear friend to help Michael. Dane is going to help him clean on the weekends. Michael has to take a break. He is working way too much and we miss him too. Dane just got a new full time job, but is willing to help on the weekends. Tony is loving this business too. He bought a truck for us to use...well, him too! But it was a good excuse for him to buy one now. The porta potties need it! :) Vicki is helping us a lot too! She is keeping everything in line and organized. She does the work that we either forget to do or can't do because of time! Praise God for Vicki!
Also, I have been doing a "Healthy Living" Class at Vicki's house. We are reading through Dr. Don Clobert's book. Now I am all inspired to eat healthy. Gosh it is hard with kids! I gave them broccoli for lunch. It was funny because they like broccoli....but not for lunch!!:) So, I look over and see Amaris' plate. Her broccoli was gone and I started to praise her. She said, "oh no, mom it fell on the floor". Well, she had a bowl of meat and it did not fall on the floor and the broccoli was with it in the bowl all together. So, I asked her "how come the meat did not fall out and only the broccoli?" We gave me a grin and I knew that she threw it out so she would not have to eat it! Smart huh!? I am smarter! I gave her more! She said, "Thanks Mom"!
Well, tonight we are going to Zilker park to watch a movie or play or something! I don't know. We are going with Laura C.

Tell your mom I said congratulations on her new jewelry business. It sounds like it is going great. I wanted to go to Schlittebahn this summer, but it didn't happen. However the one in Galveston has a part that is indoor, so maybe within the next month or so I might go. Amaris and her broccoli.....how funny! Kids are a lot smarter than we think they are......believe me, my kids at school are always trying to trick me. Well school for me starts officially on Thursday, but I am going to be up there everyday getting my classroom ready, so it is just like it has already started. I am happy, because I was tired of being at home everyday. Okay this by far the longest comment I have ever typed. Love YA!
