Melaleuca Picnic and More July

Its not in numerical order, but I can't get these stupid pictures to move around, I would think that as many people that use this site it would be way more user friendly!!  or maybe I'm an idiot!!!

Melaleuca throws a great employee summer picnic.  A huge carnival for the kids, a great lunch catered by Texas Roadhouse this year with yummy roast pigs and all you can eat Cotton Candy, sno cones, popcorn and drinks.  A hot Saturday afternoon in July lazing under the canopies eating while the kids play!  They also have what they call Heritage games for the grown-ups a kind of Minute to win it type of fun for small prizes, then they have their large prize drawing in the afternoon.  All in all a great time!!!

 This was the field they had for shooting managers with paint ball guns.  That was an experience that Bill ALMOST had but didn't end up having too because the guy showed up at the last moment!! Whew!!!!

 For the kids they had a greased pig contest and had taped money to baby calf's and had them run around while the kids chased them.  I am sure with the amount of kids in the circle those animals are forever scarred!!!

 Another day in July we drove up to Rexburg to go to the Splash Park (not the new waterpark) with some friends I wasn't expecting much, but was pleasantly surprised to find quite a nice park.  The kids had fun but it was kinda windy and they got cold relatively fast.

 OK so here's the unveiling of the new haircut.  Abbie had been growing her hair out for a while and wanted so badly to donate it, but she was so ready to cut it and she didn't have 10inches to donate only probably 7 or 8, it just wasn't enough and I couldn't convince her to keep growing!!!

I think it turned out adorable!!!

Raspberries...you gotta love them!!  And I do!!!  This was the first big picking of the season, the next day we had double this!!!  IT was AWESOME and YUMMY!!!!

 Just had to throw in a picture of the coolest kid in town!!!!  Do you like his hat???  It's his party hat!!!

 Another Activity Days get together...we threw a Birthday Party for all the girls it turned out really great!!!!

At the end of July we had a great treat!  Bills cousin Mike and his wife Colette came to the west from Kentucky to visit, they actually met at Ricks and reunited after almost 20 years and got married a year and a half ago.  It was sooooo much fun to get to know them better, we enjoyed having them here so much.  Now we need to plan a trip to Kentucky so they can show us around!!!

Except for Cierra's Birthday I think this covers July!!!!

Tammie's new Haircut

I know a few of you know, but last year for one of our girls nights we had a fun night learning about "Dressing your Truth" its a program that was designed by Carol Tuttle, who is from Salt Lake. http://thecarolblog.com/  She has written books and now has the program available online to buy. (its spendy though, I haven't bought it yet but I want to!)  There is a gal in our ward that was trained by Carol and is a consultant that came and introduced us to the concept, and then I took her class independently.

Basically is a personality profiling, but goes further and does beauty profiling, saying that matching your hair, clothing and jewelry to your personality helps you to accept yourself and helps you to live your truth.  It also projects to others what your "truth" is and they are more accepting.  Some people think its hokey, but for me it has been very freeing.  It's amazing how much of my life I have lived trying to be what I felt others wanted me to be instead of who I am instinctually. It's weird after watching, through Carols blog, others go through the process.  They all say, "I have finally accepted who I am, I feel like I finally have permission to be me!"  Its sad to me to think women want to have permission from someone else to be who they are, bit I needed it too!  I say BRAVO!, to anyone who already knows who they are and are already living their truth!!!  For me this program makes complete sense and its nice to have a consultant in the area who will give me help when choosing things for my type.  I am a fashion dunce...I just don't get it, I have no style I just buy what's cheap, or easy and fits.  This has given me that starting point for what's right for me!  Helping me to step out of basic jeans and t-shirts to something more flattering for me!  It has been so FUN!!!!

I am a Type 1, Bright Animated woman and my beauty word is Cute!! And I can have fun with my style, because I love to have fun!  I have never been accused of being stunning or beautiful, but now I am OK with that I understand when people say "how cute" to me that it is my compliment! I have tried to be the bold striking woman, its not me, I have tried to be the beautiful soft subtle woman, I feel frumpy and fat   I am still learning, but I am moving forward and learning to love myself for who I am!

In January I finally found a haircut for me and got it done.  I get so many compliments now, it makes me feel like I must've just looked horrible before!!! LOL!!!  But I love it most days, there are day's when throwing a ponytail in, instead of doing my hair would be much nicer though!!!

The first picture is when the day I first got the cut, the second one is about a month later and ready for a cut again!!  Short hair grows way to fast!

It's so hard to take your own picture, these don't necessarily show it off, but you get the idea, right?!?!

Its a Haircut!

On Cierra's Birthday, Grandma McCammon was talking about her haircutting skills. Jesse's hair was starting to get a little scraggly so we decided to let her show us how its done on Jesse. Do you think he likes getting his haircut?

I've never really been bold enough to cut hair. We bought these clippers when Jesse was probably 3 and I imagine they haven't been used more than 5 times. And except for bangs I don't cut hair, if you've seen how that turns out you can understand why I don't do it very often! Yikes!!!!

I just realized I don't have an after picture...he looks great though! Thanks Grandma for saving me ten bucks!
