Back!

I had a great time in Edmonton. It was nice to see my brother and relatives again.
I got to meet Allison...what a great gal she is! hehe
I really wish I would have met her while living in edmonton...out girls got along so well! Arianna loves Lilli!
The Arbonne night went well. Lots of sales. we are still working on finding Allison her first business builder. It will come in time....

I have some pics I will have to upload soon.
I have been busy since being back. House stuff to catch up on. And am back in the exercise bandwagon. Went to a KILLER cardio bootcamp last night...phew it is soooo hard.
Also went to the YMCA. I am sore today hehe.

We went out for breakfast today. It didnt go too badly lol.
After nap we may head out to the PNE. Lets hope the kids are good until then.

I cannot believe it is the last day of August. Summer has been long for me. Not so good.
I am really looking forward to fall.

Off to Edmonton!

I will post all about it monday night!

Arianna and I are leaving bright and early for edmonton. I even rented a car!
We will stay 2 nights at uncle mikeys and 1 night with my aunt and uncle.
It will be a nice get away.
At first there was going to be 2 arbonne nights...but once got cancelled. No matter what happens I am going to make the most of my trip!!
I cant wait to meet Allison! it will be great to fill her in on all the arbonne stuff to get her going.
cant wait to do some shopping...and go back to west edmonton mall!!!

it will be great no matter what!

SICK!

Been a sick house here....
started with James and ended with me LOL
I am getting better slowly.
In time for my trip to edmonton. I am really looking forward to it.
seems one Arbonne night may not be a go, but hopefully something good can and will still come of it.
Either way it will be wonderful to get away, meet Allison, see my brother and family. :) So its all good....
Anyways, I have some cutie pictures to post later.
Arianna will cute straight pig tails and James with his pirate bandana.

It was nice to relax in the sun and let the kids play.
James wasnt feeling too hot, so byt 3pm wayyyyyy after nap time we had to head home.

I also got to meet twila! she lives in the lower mainland. I didnt get to talk to her much as they got there and we had to leave. Hopefully I can get together with her again. she seemed sweet!

Kiddies

Of course the night we have BC lion football tickets, I cant find a sitter! AHHHH
No fair...
my last resort will be asking my dad to watch them at his place...alone LOL but this means he has to put them to bed....he may not be up for the task. We will see later...

Besides that, Brandon is out bottling beer.
He has a dentist appt at 1 and we want to take the kids to the park or swimming.

Hope you have a wonderful day!

Oh so tired

I was awoken at 1130....and then could not fall back asleep! It was after 2am before I did...and 7 comes too fast.
Anyways, today I cleaned the bathrooms...YIPPEE!
Had a bit of Arbonne drama (women! lol)
Went and cooked dinner at my parents. Just me and the kids and my daddy. It was nice.
The kids are bathed, its almost 7pm.

Yesterday we went to the Abbotsford airshow. It was almost 30 degrees. and my sunscreen wore out. My face and chest are a little crispy.
The show was good...and we were kidless so it was much for enjoyable!
We saw some pretty cool planes!

Garage Sale!

We had a garage sale today and it went well...thanks so one lady who cleaned me out lol.

No more Baby Boy

James made it through his first night in his toddler bed.
It took him awhile to get to sleep, but he stayed in his bed all night. My baby boy has grown up! Sniff...
The crib has been taken down for the time being....maybe in a year or so we can put it back up!
I have major baby fever...but I know now is not the time.

I am so proud of my little man :)
I took a picture of him sleeping...I will post it later when I upload it.

Andrea

NEW DM!

That is right, I was promoted to district manager with Arbonne after only 2 months (well 1 month and 2 weeks)
I am super excited as this is where I will start to see the real money!
I have the best family and friends who jumped in to helped me out when it was needed. I am so very lucky.
I am more pumped to see what August is going to bring! I know only good things are coming from this point on.
This is going to change my life. I will be able to bring in $$, I can do more with the kids, and have fun money for me!!
I am hoping to go to Niagra Falls in october for the official canadian grand opening conference. How cool would that be!?!
I am going to see if a couple others are going so we can split the hotel costs :)
YAY! Its a good day.

Now off to get ready for Arianna's pictures at walmart...my big girl with be 3 in a week!
Thank you again guys,
Andrea
