Fancy Night

One of the nights during convention was our Force for Good Charity Event, which I had the honor of attending as a guest and a Vanna White! (No pictures from that, so sorry)

Kristen, Susie, Deb and Whitney.

Mike and I before dinner, one of my bosses.

Susie and Deb are two distributors who are freaking rad! We love these girls! Also, I bet you can't guess their ages...

The Funk of Fourty Thousand Years

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and I have a plethera...

Adrienne as a prom queen, Caitlyn as a murdered bride, and Celina as a slaughtered house wife.

I almost double as Edward Scissorhands in drag! With Mal, Nick and his niece, Lucy.

And don't forget Kristen as a trampled cow girl, or Susan as a morose doctor.

Today...

...I will be thankful for the following:

1. Diet Coke and PB Twix.
2. Free drinks at Mally's work.
3. My heating pad at work. It's freezing here!

The Moppet

Congratulations to our friends Paula and Alex for the arrival of their first born, the moppet

(as we fondly called her in the womb)!

Welcome to the world Isabella Soria!

Kristen holding her first since she "called it" the closest to conception.

Today I'm Thankful for...

1. My sisters. I love them all for different reasons, especially how different each of them are.
2. Heaters!
3. The changing of seasons, but only when it changes from Spring to SUMMER!

Twizzle

I'm a bit of a Twilight fan

although Bella bugs me occasionally

so I was excited to see that Twilight's soundtrack

has already been released on iTunes!

Check it, my friends.

Wed-a-nes-day

Here's how I've felt all day...

Until the sight of my new (free) clutch caught by eye, and made me happy! Thank you Nu Skin!

Grateful's

Today this is what I'm thankful for:

1. Golf, and when the husband plays it often. (Ask me about his current handicap, I might tell you)
2. My flitting fingers across the keyboard and speedy toggling abilities
3. Chandler Bing

Thank you!

I'm feeling like a total loser since I didn't plan on listing three "grateful's" each day of November, although my sisters, mother and now cousins and aunt are doing it. My guilt is now getting the best of me, and I have succumbed. Behold, the first of many gratitude postings:

1. Sunday. A day to feel rejuventated in many ways.
2. Eternity
3. People to learn from.

Peterson Halloweenie

Mr. Tradition instructed the Peterson home to conduct a Spooky Dinner, and conduct we did. Queen Whitney is really the one who can take most of the credit, since she cooked the spooky food. Surprisingly, all the family was in town and attended!

Warning: LOTS of pics included

First, a preview of the "creative" costumes. See below:

Ah, Nick and Mal. Nick eerily reminded me of Val Kilmer in Willow when he dons a wig.

Meg n' Mark. With and Spartan.

Bootsie the Butterfly. Or, was she a fairy?

Where's your trailer dudes?

Tadd is such a tool! Our friend Scott made this costume and won $100 as second most creative costume!

That picture pinned to Dad's front, ME circa 1988. You had to see it to believe it.

Don't I pull off the part of a concerned World War II nurse?

SuperVan!

Nice spider!

Queen of Everything, Danny Zuko and the kids.

Can I call you Cleo?

All in all, an entertaining event! Thank you Momma and Whit for hosting the party!

United Way

Another Force for Good thingie. We volunteered at The Women and Children Crisis Center, and wow, that was eyeopening. I have a very hard time with things like this.

The fact that this center is even necessary makes me physically ill. I look forward to the day that child molesters and abusers burn in hell. Whoa, did I just say that?

Happy Halloween

What are YOU today?

For YOUR information:

I l-o-v-e frozen gummy bears

NTC Breakfast

I work with this cool dude who is all about being a force for good, as that is a huge belief of the company's. He organizes all sorts of charity events, and volunteer opportunities, and I've been lucky enough to participate in many of those!

Nu Skin hosted an NTC (Nourish the Children) breakfast for distributors during one of our fly-in meetings, which was a huge success!

Whitney and Kristen being important servers.

Ryan, Adrienne and I servin' up some pancake goodness.

And again, Ry-guy and me.

The leftover pancakes, I can't imagine they were all that good, were donated to the Provo Food & Care Coalition.

Mr. Scott Van Pelt, far left, is the mastermind behind quite a few of these charitable events, let's give him a round of applause!
Ugh, I can't hear you.

I Heart My Job

I work with rad people

Be prepared for many Nu Skin posts, and an explanation to these photos.

Mattresses, Pizza and Brick Breaker

Whitney IS a cool mom. One night in the former Ingram residence was spent racing down the hallway on a mattress track and crashing into pillows and blankets stacked up against her bedroom door.

We also ate CPK pizza for dinner under a mattress fort, and since I'm a cool aunt I allowed Jack to play brick breaker on my phone with pizza sauce fingers.

After a little head-to-door accident.

Tuckered Out

After a long day with cousin, Hudson, Jack ended up asleep on his dad within 3 minutes of coming home, no exaggeration.

Space Mistress

This post, and the few following, are long overdue, please forgive me. Mal and I, being the great sisters we are, drove to Cali and packed up the Ingram's home. One wife, one husband, two kids, and all their earthly belongings. The trip was definitely not all work, and no play, we goofed around plenty.

Jack cracks me up with his food choices. Does he turn up his nose to 12 grain wheat bread? Not a chance. He'll have two pieces, thank you.

We transformed Jack into a space mistress, ain't he a beauty?
