Scentsy!

I figured I'd better get these pictures up here, because my next big shipment of Scentsy is arriving at my door tomorrow :) Okay, so here's what my table looked like for my big launch party! It was a huge success...I moved up in rank just from my launch party, which is not all that common to do!

So here was part of my launch party display :) I'm having too much fun can you tell?!

When the first big shipment came in....Levi was really excited to help me take everything out!

The only problem was that he wanted to open them ALL to smell ALL of them! :)

So he helped me lay all the bars out and he took inventory! :)

Then we played "stack the blocks" with the plug-ins.

Colt getting in on the action too!

Scentsy- a true family experience!

So by hosting a "basket party" my freind Tracy was able to get all of this stuff for just $16....it's retail value is $65!!! Good deal huh? I can do out of town and out of state basket parties...it's easy...my cousin Lisa in Ohio is doing one right now and she too will get all the rewards :) It's a win/win situation! Contact me if you would like to do one!

Here's a sneak peak at the March warmer of the month. "Dotty" is on sale for the month of March for $27. The scent of the month is Jumpin Jelly Beans which is discounted this month too! :)

Well, time to get off of here....hopefully by tomorrow my next shipment will arrive! It's like Christmas morning every time the UPS man makes a delivery to our house!

I also signed up my first recruit yesterday...it was totally a God thing and I will share the story when I get the time....for now, Levi's show is over so it's time for baths and board games, stories and bed!

Levi

Allright....so an update about my oldest child...Levi, Levi Levi.....he thinks he is all grown up now. He's always been independent and wants to do everything by himself, but lately, he's taken it to a whole new level! He now goes pee all by himself....that is a huge blessing (before he would need help with pulling his pants down and that kind of thing. But it's also a bad thing in a way, because he also thinks he can wipe himself now if you know what I mean. I won't go into great detail....but lets just say that I pretty much have to sit outside the bathroom door when he's doing a #2! lol.

The other day I caught him in our bathroom "shaving" He had Anthony's real razor out, and had toothpaste all over his face!! I asked him what he was doing, and he said, "LOOK, Im shaving just like daddy!" It was hard to get upset with him (actually I didn't) but I had to have a reaction to scare him a little...he shouldnt be playing with a real razor you know? But it was easy...all I had to do was show him his face in the mirror...he had slightly cut his lip so seeing the blood FREAKED him out!!!! I was thankful to God that it was only a minor cut..but a big enough one to scare him!

Speaking of cutting....long story short....I got a new winter coat this year for Christmas with a gift card from Kohls. It's a really nice one to say the least. Well, one day a few weeks ago Levi decided to get his scissors out and start cutting stuff....yes, including my new coat!! I was SO ANGRY at him at first. When I calmed down, I realized the cut was in a place that you would never notice and that it was really small. Still...again, I had to have a reaction to scare him...it was my coat this time...but next time it could be Colt's hair or worse! He got in big trouble for that....I won't go into those details!

Okay...so let's get to something positive about Levi! haha! He is growing up....he can now spell his name and about half of the time he can spell Colt's name too. He's wanting to learn how to write it now. I can't figure out if he's gonna be left handed or not. He usually picks his left hand to write with at first.....GREAT! Thanks Grandma Gheen!!! He can also find the letters (the magnetic kind we have on the fridge) and put the letters in the correct order to spell his name!

He is working on learning the National Anthem...he's got some of the parts down part....especially the line that goes..."And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air" only, in his version of the song, he adds, "BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM" right after that part!

Levi's got a such a thirst for life and for knowledge. Just last night we read a book about Jesus and it showed a picture of Jesus on the cross. He wanted to know ALL about it. I pray that the words that come out of my mouth are ones that will one day lead Levi to accepting Jesus into his heart! Also, just tonight Levi has learned to draw a "real person" picture. In the shower tonight, he drew a real face..with eyes, nose, mouth and hair....all in the right places! lol :)

Okay, so here's some pictures.....

What Anthony gets to wake up to in the morning....the boys like to get in bed with him!

Levi and Colt are really starting to play better together!

Levi feeding Colt. It's entertainment for both of them!

Flying through the air!

Stay tuned for some fun pictures of my Scentsy business....and the boys helping me!

Colt

Colt always tries to get ahold of our cell phones. When we got our new iphones last week, we finally let him grab hold of one of our old ones...he was in Heaven!

Can I call Grandma please?

No, I'd rather just eat it!

Speaking of eating, Colt is pretty much eating real foods now!! It's sad to think his days of all baby food are over! Here he is getting his first taste of a saltine cracker.

It's pretty good!

Let's cram it in with both hands!

Okay, so I know I've been awful with updating lately...here's the low-down. Colt has 2 bottom teeth, a top front tooth and he's currently working on the other top one. Like I said before, he's mostly on "big foods" now...including pears, peaches, green beans, peas and carrots. His favorite thing are those yogurt melts made by Gerber. Only problem is that Levi is in love with them too...and those boogers are rather expensive, so I've had to start hiding them! haha! Colt is cruising a little, but yet to take a first step. He can stand for a few seconds on his own before falling over. He really likes to push cars. His favorite is Levi's police car. It's cute to watch him push it all around the house. I think to myself everyday that he's not old enough to be doing things like that, but then I realize he is almost 10 months old! He is also developing an attitude. Especially when you take something away from him. Like our cell phones, he tries so hard to get ahold of the tv remote. I swear he can smell that thing 50 feet away! Just when he's close enough to grab it, I'll catch him and take it away and he throws a holy fit! He also wants to get into everything that Levi is into. Which frustrates Levi at times..it's sometimes humerous to watch the 2 interact....sometimes not so much. The other day, Levi pushed Colt int he laundry basket all around the house. They pretended to be lightning mcqueen :) Colt's still saying DA-DA, and he's starting to say BU-BU....other than that, he's not real talkative...unless you count the high pitch eagle screams or the raspberries! He knows how to clap and he knows how to sign "more" He's working on how to do a "touchdown".

Okay...so this post was mostly about Colt...my next one will be an update about Levi :)

Bowling with the Keith's

Last weekend we went with our freinds, The Keith's to go bowling in Georgetown. The cold weather makes it hard for us to see our neighbors, so we thought bowling would be fun and so the kids could see each other. When Levi and Grason get together, they are WILD (100% of that is instigated by Levi!) Here's some pictures of our night...

Is it my turn to bowl?

2 peas in a pod!

Poor Arissa....she had to put up with these crazy two!

We had a great time, even though our night got cut short because of Colt's 6:00 bedtime! While I say that I can't wait for him to outgrow that, I have to admit, it's nice having him go to bed so early to give us alone time with Levi at night!

I will try and get caught up on the past few weeks...Anthony has been sick for the past 3 days (pheumonia) so I haven't gotten ANYTHING accomplished! I have some good pictures though, so I will get them up soon!

Levi outside in snow...

I can't remember when this was, but during the last snow we got, Anthony and Levi bundled up and went outside. Anthony took the camera and snapped all of these pictures :) Enjoy!

Cedarville Alumni Weekend!

On the way to Cedarville, we stopped by and visited Deputy Hopper's grave. We plan on going back in the springtime when the snow is all gone. Right beside here, someone wrote in the snow "We love you"

The women who came back for alumni weekend.

The grey team....I think we got beat..but who really keeps score or cares about that! It was fun! I was out of shape and was very dehydrated afterwards..so much I almost blacked out on the way home. Wow- that's pretty sad!

Jamie, me and Molly- we all had babies one month apart! It was fun to go through our pregnency's together and then finally meet each other's babies! They are all around 8 and 9 months now!

Family shot!

Vern, actually her name is Kari- my first and best freind at Cedarville :)

Patricia and me...I hated her when I was a freshman- she was a senior. Then we had each other in each other's weddings :) Funny how things change!

Levi made a new freind, CJ!

The guys that came back.

Some of Anthony's teammates who were also groomsmen in our wedding!

I had planned to write a little more, but Levi is screaming his eyes out in bed, so I gotta go!

Anthony's Police Tournament

I'm only a few weeks behind with these, but with traveling, Anthony's injuries and the start of my Scentsy business..life has been busy! So these are pictures from Anthony's tournament in Frankfort this year. Most all of my pictures to choose from were blurry....everytime I went to snap a picture, Colt was pulling on my camera! It was pretty neat that they played at the Frankfort arena (I can't remember what they call it) but it was the same arena that Anthony played in for Christian Nationals when he played at Mount Vernon! What a small world! His team this year finished in 3rd place...personally I think they were the best team there, but Anthony was unable to play most of the final 2 games due to injuries! The other Lexington team won it all, so at least Lexington was well represented :)

My next post I will get my alumni weekend pictures up!
