Emily reads a book!

Emily's favorite book (and probably mine, which is why she knows it so well!) is called If you see a kitten by John Butler. It's really very simple, and Emily has memorized all of the "tag lines"... see for yourself:

We think it's pretty sweet.. :)

Mother's Day 2009

An Ode to Mothers' Day

I awoke to the smell of something I didn't have to bake.
Blueberry muffins, my Scott did make.
A treat in every right, a breakfast divine,
time to get ready for church--woah, look at the time!

After curling my hair, and ironing my dress,
Scott had gotten Emmy ready--oh his soul, please bless!
Off to church to play the organ and sit quietly in the pew,
but now to teach Young Womens--there is so much to do!

Home again, home again, church was so great!
Let's eat a sandwich, sit and talk, clean the plate.
Now for a massage, a nap, and a walk,
"Can life get any better? I submit that it cannot!"

My favorite part about the day,
was watching this scene, as it played.
A girl and her daddy, sitting and having some fun.
A happier mom you won't find. No, not one.

After dinner du jour, of BBQ Chicken and some veggies,
it was time for Emily's bath--where went the duckies? (okay, so that doesn't rhyme..sorry!)
Let's sing her to sleep, as she asks for a "song,"
My favorite part is when Dad joins in and tries to sing along!

Let's watch a classic -- "Singin' in the Rain,"
I try my best to not join in and sing the whole refrain!
Off to bed, the day is done, and soon we say goodnight.
I say my prayers and thank the Lord, this day was just right.

Happy Mothers Day to all, I hope your day was one to remember! Here is the scene that I will cherish from this day!


That's the face she makes when you say "Smile!"

Priceless.

Meeting with Colette!

On Saturday, I had the opportunity to meet with Scentsy's co-founder, Colette Gunnell. She his fabulous! She lives in N. Utah, but came down to Cedar City specifically to have a meeting with any S. Utah consultants that could make it. We did a mini-training at the Pizza Factory and she gave us SO many great new ideas for this summer with Scentsy. We had four consultants there, but most importantly it was nice to get to know some of the other ladies in S. Utah that sell Scentsy. We're "all in the same boat", so to speak. We had a wonderful time and I learned a lot! Scentsy has never posted less than a 350% growth any quarter since they began. Isn't that amazing? They are celebrating 5 years this summer, and went from 1,000 consultants in 2008 to 30,000 in 2009--AMAZING! I feel so blessed to be part of this fabulous company. It truly is a wonderful product and has changed our lives!

Here's a picture of all of us after lunch:

A fabulous group of ladies and good time had by all! Thank you, Colette!
