July 30-31 PartyLite Friends at Conference
Conference isn't always all work and no play. We do try to go out a night or two when we are there just for some fun and friendship. The restaurant right in our hotel was lots of fun, had yummy food and was great at serving drinks!!!
Angie & Terry having way too much fun with their Pomegranate Martinis!!!
June & Beth sharing their cocktails.
June took over drinking Darcy's drink, cause Darcy says she's a light weight!!
Kathy and I wanted to be part of a toast as well, me with my empty glass of milk and her with her constant drink of choice, diet coke. She misses the fact that I don't drink diet coke with her anymore.
Kim's 2nd empty martini glass!!!
It's a tradition that Kim and I have a party in our room for the girls in our units on the last night of conference. Along with that tradition is the photo of the group on the bed. This year was one of the smallest groups we had, but still lots of fun.

July 29, 2010 Opening Session at Conference
Opening Session at Conference is always so exciting. It's the start of 3 fun filled, training packed days. It's only once a year, but we all look forward to it every year.
July 29, 2010 Leader Session at Conference
The first day of Conference opens early if you are a leader. Since last years Conference I have become a leader and was recognized at the leader session. All new leaders got to go up and be recognized and strut their stuff across stage. After this session, leaders are treated to a nice sit down lunch.
These are a few of the Arizona leaders that are in our Region. Marie Stoltz, Terry McDow, Kim Moore & myself.

July 28, 2010 St Louis
Went to St Louis for my PartyLite conference. We have had conference there several times and just love it there. We know our way around, we like the city and we have our favorite hotel we stay at. One of the reasons is that they have free hot breakfast every morning and free happy hour each night. We got into St Louis the day before the conference started and of course had to hit happy hour!!!
The hotel we stay at is right by the Arch. So a couple of mornings I got up and went for a walk all around the park by the Arch. It's real pretty and tree lined and right next to the Mississipi River.

July 26, 2010 Papercut
Don't you just hate papercuts? Have you ever had a papercut on your eye? Well that's what happened. Alicia had just signed her new lease agreement papers and was getting in the car with them in her hand. She turned and slice.....she got a papercut on her eyeball. She called to tell me she had done it and how bad it hurt. Then within an hour she called back, crying!!! It was now burning. Kev & I went to pick her & her car up. On the way home she stopped at one of the people she babysits for who is a doctor, and she looked at it and gave her some eyedrops. She told her to keep it patched and put some ice on it. It was better by the next day!!!
July 23, 2010 Decorating Alicia's Classroom
I got to be the Teacher's Helper!!! I met Alicia down at her new classroom and she put me to work. We set up all the bulletin boards, moved desks and just got ready for her new students.
July 20, 2010 Alicia signs her Teaching Contract
Alicia got a teaching job at Fowler Elementary School, which is on 67th Ave & Van Buren. She will be teaching 4th Grade. I rode with her to the district office so that she could go sign her contract and get all her paperwork. I waited in the car cause she said she didn't want to look like a little kid if I went in with her. I really just went for the ride so she could use the carpool lane. But when she came out I had to jump out and snap a photo of the official day. Congratulations Sisser, you're going to be an awesome teacher!!!!
July 16, 2010 Satellite TV
He just won't give up. We switched to satellite TV so that Kev could take a portable satellite with him and then he would be able to catch some sports now and then while we're camping. You just hook up this portable thing, and it is suppose to hone right in and boom you're watching TV.
Only it wasn't that easy. We were having a hard time finding a satellite. So we load everything into the truck drive around set it all up so we can find a spot where it works. It's really quite the system. Then we have to see if it's a spot we want to move our campsite to.
But low & behold....it connected right at our camp when it was in a special spot. Can you say spoiled? Is it really camping when you can take a shower, cook on a stove, and watch satellite TV? It is for us!!!

July 14, 2010 Chevlon Lake
Kev had decided that he wanted to go fish at Chevlon Lake cause believe it or not, he had never been there. And there's a reason for that. We started out riding the quads about 6 miles to get to the top of the trailhead which leads to the lake. It is straight downhill, but it was a nice overcast day. We walked all the way to the bottom only to have trouble finding a place to fish but it is really beautiful down there. Then the sun came out and boy is it hot, muggy and full of bugs down there.
It wasn't a successful fishing lake at all, Kev caught one fish and then the clouds started to move in. We figured we better head back up the hill cause that was going to take a while, and then we still had to ride back to camp.
With all those clouds, it was bound to happen. It started out slow, but about 1/2 way up the trail it started pouring so Kev whipped out the ponchos. This was my first time wearing a rain pancho, and let me tell you, those things really work. I was pretty much dry by the time we got back to camp.

July 13, 2010 Eagle Update
I told you how there is an Eagle's nest at Wood's Canyon Lake, so I wanted to give you an update. We saw the Eagle Parents flying around the lake and at one point one of them flew down and snatched a fish right out of the water. It was really cool. Then when we were walking around the lake we stopped at the point where you can see the nest. The two babies were "branching". That's what they call it when they start hanging out more on the branches instead of in the nest, because they are getting ready to leave.
July 11, 2010 Our Anniversary
Today is our 12 Year Wedding Anniversary. Once again I have to say how lucky I am to have someone love me the way that Kev does. Just look how cute we are together!!
July 10, 2010 Meredith hits Lifetime
My friend Meredith from Weight Watchers reached Lifetime today. What that means is that she reached her weight loss goal, then she maintained it for at least 6 weeks. This then makes her a lifetime member. She has lost 105.2lbs. Isn't that amazing? Weight Watchers awards you for reaching Lifetime with a certificate and of course everyone cheering for you, but because Meredith became a lifetime member after losing 100lbs WW sends someone from the corporate office to present her with her certificate & some flowers.
This is a picture of Meredith, our leader Debi, and Meredith's husband Dave.
Way to go Meredith....when I grow up (I mean down) I want to be just like you!! Congratulations, you should be so proud of all your hard work.

July 7, 2010 Bahama Mama Night
Once again, it was a night out with the Bahama Mamas. It was Holly's turn to plan and she decided we all needed to go and have a pedicure. It was a nice treat followed by dinner at Native New Yorker.
July 4, 2010 4th of July at Janet's
Spent the 4th of July weekend up at Janet's house. Mary, Barbara and a couple of Mary's friends also came and spent the weekend. On the 4th, Jan had a really nice BBQ with a bunch of people that she works with at NAU and their families.
Everyone was taking different pictures and someone suggested we do a head stack. So we tried it....came out pretty cute except that Diane is missing.
