My Sister Getting Married

(took the dress pictures off since it needs to be a suprise)

Ok so Leigh and Cash finally set the wedding date. February 28th 2009! Yesterday I went and picked my sister up so we could go and try on Bridesmaid dresses. Mom and I had gone on Saturday but since Leigh's other bridesmaids are like a size 0 then it's me that has to figure out what I am going to ware. Sine I am the Maid of Honor I can be a little different then the other girls. So I get Leigh and off to Alfred Angelo we go. I try on the dress that all the girls are wearing and its Perfect. I have never seen Leigh so happy and excited. Last Thursday I went to my dad's office and Leigh was in a mood that she didn't want to go meet mom and look at wedding dresses. I told Leigh just go now and I will stay here until 5 and lock up for you. So she left and about 6:30 she is calling me so happy that she found the perfect dress for her. I have never! I mean never heard my sister so happy. She said that when she tried it on she started crying and that made mom start crying. I wish I could have been there but I know that I will cry enough when I see her walk down the isle in only 3 months. It really hit home yesterday for both of us that my baby sister is going to be Mrs. Leigh Henderson in only 3 months. WOW never thought she would finally tie the knot with Cash. Well I new they would just so happy for them. Leigh took me to lunch and we had a great time. Love you sis!

Here are the pictures of Leigh's Dress and what my bridesmaid dress will look like. My dress will be black. Leigh will have a see thru jacket that she will have on and NO gloves. Jamie I will get a pic of Leigh dont have an updated on here at work.

Fun Pictures

So grown up!

Hayden had been and St. Johns school until July of this year. St. Johns has school pictures every April so he had his taken and they turned out so cute. Then I moved him to the Village Montessori school (loves it best move EVER). Well they have school pictures in the fall and spring. (my wall is going to be covered before he even starts 1st grade) His pictures are too cute. He went from looking like a baby boy to looking like a litte man. Here is how my Hayden has changed in only 6 months the first on is October 2008and the second is April 2008. He is going to be a killer so I better get used to the girls calling.

Most Wonderful Man

So I am back dating this Blog entry to September. September 20Th was Scott and I 6month anniversary. Being a single mom I never thought I would find someone perfect for me and who would understand my situation. Well I did. We took Hayden to Scott's parents house so they could watch him for us and we headed to dinner. We went to the Micky Mantel in Bricktown. Had a wonderful dinner then walked to Starbucks (which is my Favorite and I love it) for coffee on the canal. He got me the most beautiful card ever. He treated me like a queen. Then it was back to get Hayden. It was a perfect night spent with a perfect man.

Scott is more then perfect he is amazing. He has bless my life in so many ways. He has come in to this relationship blind on kids and what to expect from them but has just jumped in like he knew what he was doing all along. He is so wonderful with Hayden. He takes him to the park, picks him up from school, blows bubbles, makes chalk drawings etc. As for me he does everything for me. A while back I was sick and instead of going out with his friends he came over and let me go to bed so I could get some rest and he took care of Hayden and put him to bed for me. Scott does everything he can to make sure that I am happy. He is even sneaky about things too. He helped me clean up in the kitchen the other night and didn't think twice about it, he new that it would help me out and that I would feel better about it being cleaned up.

I thought in March that I was going to be a single mother for the rest of my life and I was OK with that, because Hayden is my life and I wanted to be the best mother I could be. I thought I'm almost 30 and most of the good guys are all gone and ill just be happy with the guy I have (the one that wants me to sing to him, hold him, kiss him, read to him, play with him) then I meet Scott. He changed my world and for the better. He is my angel!

Love you Scott

Potty Training!!!!

OH MY! So my little Hayden is growing up way to fast for me. He will be 3 in January and has 1. already moved to the 3-4 year old room from his 2 1/2 year old room because he is advanced for his age that he was getting board in the 2 1/2 room. 2. He is using the POTTY and wearing BIG boy underwear.

It all started about a month in a half ago when Ms. Carrie said he is ready for some big boy underwear. What my baby growing up NO NO NO!! OK so I knew the time would come sooner or later so off to the store we went to get some Spider man underwear. SO the next day he was so excited to ware his new underwear to school that he went in to school pulled down his shorts and said look at me I have spider man underwear on... I'm a big boy now. Well he didn't make it and messed all 5 pair of underwear I took that day. I knew this was going to happen not a big deal just more laundry to do (not like I don't have enough already). Hayden has done such a good job. He knows how to pee in the potty now and gets so excited when he does. The poop thing that is a different story. He has not mastered that yet but it will take more time. He has done well because out of the 20 pair of underwear he has i have only had to throw away 4 pair (I was just not going to clean it if you know what I mean) I am so proud of my baby or should I say Big boy Hayden.

Yesterday morning we were outside getting into the car..Hayden was by the tree in the front of the house and said "mommy I peed" "Hayden why did you do that? where do we go pee?" In the potty he said.. "why didn't you tell me you had to pee so you could go use the potty?" Mom were outside! I just laughed a bit and said come on lets change you.. on our way in the house he looks at me and says "but mom I watered the tree for you" I died laughing! I just changed him and off to school we went.



PS. Scott showed Hayden how Big Boy's read on the Potty!!!

What is Wrong?????

To remind everyone I work for ARAMARK and we are contracted with Oklahoma City Public Schools. Just look at what a wonderful school district we have and what they teach our kids. Ok ok now stop laughing I know its funny.

PS This picture was taken on Friday October 31st 2008!

Football Weekend

Scott and I got all 4 tickets to the OU Nebraska game since my dad was in San Antonio. Leigh and Cash didnt want to go. Scott asked his friend Buddy and his wife Jen to join us. We had a great time. What a game. Kick ass sooners. For those who dont know we have seson tickets on the 30 yard line 5th row behind the sooners. So we get to see everything and hear everything that the coaches tell them. Here are some pictures from the game.

OMG!!!

I AM THE WEDDING COORDINATOR AT MY CHURCH!!!!!!!!!

OK so I helped with a wedding back in June because the wedding coordinator (Loise) was out of town. I enjoyed and it and pulled it off with nothing wrong or late or messing up. It was perfect. The rule at my church is if the bride has 5 or more bridesmaids, or 200 + guest then there has to be 2 wedding coordinators so that is also how I got the gig in June. Well Robin the Secretary at the Church helped me with it and said that she hates doing them but understands when she has to. So she let me do most of it and she was like my side kick.

About a little over a month ago Robin told me that she had put my name in the hopper to be the wedding coordinator at Chapel Hill because Loise was resigning. I told her I was honored that she thought of me. Well I GOT IT!!!!! I found out last wed night they had just voted. I am so excited!!!

I have been trying to get my side job off the ground and running and this will really help. Also Robin at the church knew about my side company and she offered my name to a lady who wants to have her mothers 90Th birthday party at the church. I was called and she booked me for that party as well. So word of mouth is taking it off and running.

This past Saturday I was at OCU for my friends baby shower and Mom Mary said to bring my cards to her and she would pass them out. If I do parties and gatherings for OCU then I would be set. I am so excited.

So if you need any help with baby showers, birthday parties, dinner parties, just plane party, weddings, scrap books and frames just call me at Collage Event Planning
