somebody's turning one

i can't believe it's really been a whole year! this little angel and brought so much to our lives...a little crazy and a lot of fun!

kennedy jayne is the happiest, giggliest little girl. there's nothing better than hearing her funny little laugh!

kennedy is totally in love with her daddy! it's the cutest thing every!

she's also a lot of help lately. she helps empty the trash, unloads the dishwasher and doubles as a vacuum cleaner!

sorry! i couldn't pick a favorite!

8 days, 6 cities and 30 plus hours of flying

so i've always wanted to go to japan. well my wish came true! i would have never guessed that in a little over one week i would get to cover japan from top to bottom! two weeks ago I was headed to japan to visit 6 different cities: Tokyo, Sapporo, Osaka, Fukuoka, Nagoya, and Okinawa. the reason, to promote our newbrite laundry system--12 times! exciting? sure!

Fukuoka
Tokyo
Sapporo--it gets tricky when you need to pack for both winter and tropical climates! Okinawa--beautiful!Osaka or maybe Nagoya? really it all looked the same! all in all it was a great trip and huge learning experience. the hardest part was being away from mike and baby k!

expo west

as part of my job i have to find new product concept to introduce to our market. so every year we head off to expo west in california to see where the trends are going. this entitles visiting thousands of booths with crazy products/foods you get to try. trust me this can be both good and bad.

this year i bellied up to the oxygen bar, gave a little love to moss man, and made my very own custom flavored burt's bee's chap stick. the highlight this year was the fashion show hosted by think products. after hours of waiting in line we got front row seats to an awesome show!!

girls weekend

we've made it tradition that the girls of la mirage get together once a year to catch up, gossip...and shop! this year we met in lehi utah for three days, two nights of shear bliss! we spent the majority of our time in park city shopping and eating. we had so much fun this year i think we'll meet up again in the summer...we might even bring our kids!

thanks girls for the great weekend, love you all and can't wait to see you again! SOON!

i'm really going to do it!

so lots has gone on this past month or so, so i'm really going to do it....i'm going to post!

true touch

if any of you are familiar with our true touch brand at neways, i am the finger on our marketing materials. today i did a small shoot with my wonderful newly manicured nails. my hands are going to be showing off our new nail colors this year in japan. the best part...i got out of doing dishes for the night!

i should clarify...that's my hand in front of the model on the top, and they'll be yanking my fingers out of the second pic and putting them in front of a lovely model.

all in one month

we have had so much progress at our house in the past few weeks. we have learned to sit up, crawl, patty cake and make really big messes. not to mention she's growing into quite the little personality. kennedy is becoming so much fun!

i love this picture! first of all it's the only picture i think vaguely resembles me. second it shows you just what a little monkey kennedy is. she's always getting herself stuck somewhere.
