FAMILY!

This is my Beautiful Family!!! Several weeks back we lost my grandpa and my brother was coming with his family regardless as we were all to celebrate my Grandpas birthday turning 99! He dies 10 short of that milestone sadly. We proceeded with our plan to have a huge slumber party at my moms anyway and had a blast! We ALL spent the night their on Saturday night. Since it is the 1st time my brothers kids have met each other in the 9 yrs of their lives it was an exciting time!!! 1st time ever we were all together!!! Great memories!

Nails by Jamie...

 I never thought of myself as a "nail person" but since Jamie has come into our lives I now have been enjoying her gel nails and amazing art creations! She has moved here from Arizona and has been doing this work for years and has her own business even still in Arizona for 14 yrs now! Her and her family now live this way and love it! Here are some of the nail creations I have had and will be getting them done early AM as they stay like this for 2 weeks even with work 3 jobs of doing hair and 6 days a week they only have a bit of a grown out look when needing redone!

 This is what I have now and I have called them SPRING BLING:) I think next I may go for bright pink!!! :)

SINGING IN THE RAIN!

 This past weekend was a wonderful time for Jelena as she got to be a part of the cast in the High school Musical SINGING IN THE RAIN! She played in the cast with no big lead but did a fantastic job for her 1st time doing this!

 Singing in action this pic was on the Reflector website!

 The Middle guy is Timothy and he was a lead! It was Fabulous to watch him!

THE SHOW WAS A HUGE SUCCESS!!! THEY ALL DID A PHENOMINAL JOB! WE ALL LOVED IT AND CAN'T WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR:)
