(August-October) I am a horrible blogger!

I am so far behind on blogging…goodness gracious!

So, I’m going to try and catch up with some pictures! :)

 

My sweet cousin April (with the help of Brandon) took our family pictures at the end of August and I couldn’t be more pleased with them. Damon will tell you that the night I saw them for the first time I just sat and cried and cried….I know, it’s not too out of the ordinary for me. :)  THANK YOU SO MUCH APRIL!!!!!!  Here are just a few of our very favorites:

 

We got to babysit my cousin, Summer’s baby girl, Kendall for a few hours and Cayden and Avery were VERY protective of her. :)

 

I love this one…It’s like Kendall is saying, “Ok, lady that’s enough!” :)

Cayden played Upward Soccer this fall and had a really great time.

Cayden started Kindergarten at our church and Avery goes to PDO on Mondays and Wednesdays. This was the first day of school:

Avery wanted me to try straightening her hair, and after about 30 minutes, here she is!:

We got to go back to South Padre Island for a few days with my (Erin) family:

Whew…ok, I think I am caught up now! :)

Mary Kay Seminar

 

 

Last month I was able to go again to my Mary Kay Seminar in Dallas. Here are a few pictures:

    

The theme for our unit at our area awards was Bigham’s Biker Babes, so that is why we are in black leather and tattoos!!! :) My director’s name is Christy Bigham, so that is where the name came from.

Christy and I:

  

Andi let me borrow her dress from her Senior Recital for our formal awards night:

 

 

We always have such a fun time with friends and we always get great training while we are there too and get to hear all about the new products that are coming out that no one knows about yet…Psst…One of the new things is a perfume called “Thinking of You” that smells REALLY good and comes with a heart charm that you can take off and use on a bracelet or necklace. So cute! :) 

New pictures

 

Avery has become pretty attached to her hats that my cousin, April made her. Damon was able to snap this picture of our cutie the other day:

 

Cayden kickin’ it in the pink floaties since Daddy left his at home. :)

First time without training wheels:

10th Anniversary Trip

We were so blessed in April to get to go to our “dream vacation” place….HAWAII!!!! It was the most unbelievable trip and one that we will never forget. We went to Maui first and then to Oahu. Our resort in Maui was unbelievable! It is right by the beach and the gardens/landscaping was gorgeous. As far as the islands themselves, we like Oahu the best because you can’t beat the gorgeous mountains of East Oahu and the amazing beaches at Kailua. Those 2 things were the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. It felt like we were in a postcard. Here are some pictures from our trip:

 

Maui resort:

Our first morning there, we got up at 2:30am (which to us only felt like 7:30am) and drove the 2 hr. drive up Mt. Haleakala for the sunrise. I can’t tell you what an amazing experience it was. My favorite part was honestly before the sun started coming up because being that high we could see more stars than we have ever seen before. It was like there was more stars then black sky…Unbelievable. Unfortunately none of our pictures turned out of the stars, but here are some of the sunrise. It seemed weird to be so bundled up in Hawaii, but it was crazy cold up there!

Damon and I tried out our very amateurish photography skills, but we were really proud of a few of them: (Damon took most of these)
