Summertime!

This summer we (the kids and I) are in Utah! We always have came to Utah for the summer, since moving to Arizona four years ago; but this year we are staying here longer than before- 8 weeks!!! 

So far we have visiting Yellowstone, Jackson Hole, Manatonka Cave in Idaho, Ogden pool, Brigham City pool, the Staduim of Fire, movies, parks, bike rides and lots of snow shacks! 

There will be a lot more fun to have! 

We love Utah!

Happy 4th Birthday Jack Edward Smith!

WOW! It's amazing that time really does fly! Especially once you have kids! I am the worst at blogging, but I wanted to take just a minute to say "Happy 4th Birthday" to my baby Jack! 

If you don't know Jack, you are missing out on a big part of life! Jack is full of energy, personality and is loved by all who meet him! 

Today was a busy day as we celebrated him- soccer games, haircuts, visit from Uncle Greg, and a BIG party with over 30 friends! We ate, played, laughed, and loved Jack!

I am grateful that I have been blessed to be a Mom, to Jack, Sophia and Nick. Being a Mom was always my biggest dream come true. I never knew it was going to be so hard- everyday I struggle with the feeling that maybe I could have done a little bit more to be a better Mom, but I hope that my kids will always know that they are my dream come true, and that I love them more than words will ever tell.

LOVE YOU JACK JACK! 

New Scentsy Catalog- and BUSY ME!

 

 

So if anyone out there actually checks this blog still, I'd love to know who you are! LOL

I'm horrible at blogging. Most of my time is spent posting pics on Facebook and Instagram.

I feel like you should know me and my family pretty well if you follow me on those. LOL

 

Right now I'm super busy with my Scentsy business. We are launching the new Spring/Summer 2013 catalog on March 1st! This catalog is amazing- the BEST one yet! Scentsy keeps getting better, adding more products, scents, designs and more! Right now I'm loving the new Lip Balm they've came out with- seriously, it's the best!

 

I'd be happy to send you a free catalog, just email me at andreasmith19@gmail.com or contact me through my Scentsy website, http://andreas.scentsy.us

 

I've also got myself into running the SLC marathon again this year. I said a full marathon was a once in a lifetime thing, BUT I won free registration and my friends and I are hoping to make it a girls weekend. So as long as I can stay healthy (no more injuries) and stick to my training plan, it should be a great time!

Seriously I can't believe summer break is almost over for my kids...sad but exciting!

I've been busy with Scentsy, and especially busy since convention a week ago in Las Vegas.

Scentsy announced their newest brand Grace Adele!

Grace Adele is the newest thing in making fashion easy (and afordable) for women.

It does all the hard work for you! LOVE IT!

So now there are 3 brands that I'm able to represent, thanks to Scentsy- Scentsy fragrance, Velata fondue, and Grace Adele handbags, jewelry and accessories!

Now back to my kids, Sophia is going into 2nd grade and Nick is going into Kindergarten.

Jack thinks he's going to school too. So I've been playing around with the idea of putting him in a daycare/preschool class a few hours a week. This will one, be fun for him, and two, allow me to do things that I need to do without neglecting, I mean boring Jack. ;)

If you'd like to learn more about any of Scentsy's new brands, please check out my websites!

Nick Graduates from Preschool- 2nd year

The day finally came-Nick graduates from The Learning Pad preschool!

Nick loved school this year. He loved being with his friends, and being so independent. He learned a lot this past year. He is such a great boy and so easy going when it comes to leaving "the nest" and exploring his world.

Me (mom) on the other hand did not like this year of preschool. There were many things that made me want to take him out of school, but the fact that he loved it so much, made me keep him in, and basically suck it up! :)

Nick's graduation was really good- He did awesome like always! 

Big boy on stage singing songs!

Nick with his two teachers. 

We celebrated by taking the family to eat at McDonalds. 

 

Congratulations Nick! We are so proud of you!

Father & Son's/Girls Weekend

Friday night was our wards Father & Son's. The boys were so excited! 

Since they were going to be out having fun roughing it, we girls back home decided to have a girls night! 

We decided on dinner at the Cracker Barrel (the girls all wanted pancakes), then a little shopping and then back to Megan's house for crafts and girl time! The girls loved it and it was so fun being with my friends! It's great having a chance to be with just one child at a time. Have you noticed how easy it is with just one kid? WOW! I love getting to know Sophia on a one-on-one basis!

Avery, Sophia and Belle.

The boys had fun camping except that it was freezing cold and Jack got a stomach bug while they were there. The hubby took great care of them though and the both were very happy with their camping weekend! 

Two best boys in the world!
