Fun day with Savana



I spent the day trying to boost up Savana today..we did her hair, sugared and makeup and nails. I practiced what I learned from the color class my work hosted a couple of weeks ago on her color which worked like a charm!!! I forgot to get a photo of her nails but here is a before and after of her hair and makeup. It was lots of fun even though Tyson wasn't as happy about the experience as his mommy was!! haha

Makeup Makeup and more Makeup



A few of us went to a class at the MAC today and learned Arabic eyes. It was so much fun and such a great way to learn more about my most favorite addiction. As soon as I got home I had to play a bit and came up with this bit of a toned down look on Kassi. I can't wait until the next class!!!

reflecting on the past..


Today on a scrapbook site that I love to hang out on they asked about what cars we drive and if we like them or not...It made me remember a layout that I made when I finally got my "dream car" I decided to go looking for it and here it is...haha oh my I hope that it shows that I have learned a few things since I started... I do love the layout though!~

some days are just in need of...

a good cry!! Little things build up and make you feel like big things and sometimes it seems like nothing can go right at all... even though it isn't true it seems like that way sometimes...

Remodeling...




And let the fun begin.....sigh...hehe

So we have a couple of projects going on right now. We are refinishing the kitchen floor...put the last coat of varnish on tonight..did one right after church this morning and one last night. Each time you put varnish on you have to sand in between..and then of course the big sanding job with the floor sander was done yesterday afternoon. Oh my...it looks brand spanking new and absolutely gorgeous!!! I will take pictures of it tomorrow. We have to wait 3 days before we can move anything back on though so a few more days of take out coming our way most likely.
I want to repaint the walls and the trim before the end of the month and finish off with a good deep cleaning and throwing out the old etc. I see maybe some new kitchen dishes, and utensils etc while I throw out since it has been ummm 28 years since we have had kitchen supplies. we definately need to get some new rugs which I am going to go look for tomorrow when I take the sander back to Logan.

next project is Kassi's bedroom.. we refinished the walls, patched up all the holes and went with a color scheme that matches her bedroom set. There is bright orange, which we painted one wall, bright green, which we painted the opposite wall and then blue which we will paint the trim..and white white...which we painted the other two walls, doors and ceiling. We have all the walls and ceiling done and I will do the trim tomorrow. I then want to put big colored circles on the white walls that match the decor of the bedroom set... they have stripes and circles on white of the colors.. It is turning out so freaking cute!!! I love it and so does she and oh it feels good to have fixed walls without holes in them..She has sworn to her dad not to put any more holes in the walls.

Josh's room has the color scheme picked out but not quite ready to start it.. he is a lot more daring with purple red and silver...ummmm we shall see how that goes!

I also redid Kassi's hair today and finished up a layout. so pretty good day!

What are your favorite places everyone... where is a good and safe place to hang and get some fun challenges and learn new tricks from...I am rusty of course so will need lots of support hahaha!!!

Sunday...

After getting home from church today I looked at my email and had the following message from Sister Hartman.. I hope someday I can meet this couple in person..what amazing people they are.

Dear Tracy - I am so glad you enjoyed the video postcard. Your son was even better than you described. He is absolutely delightful. His personality and his smile are so contagious. We were able to spend a couple of days with them and it was wonderful. You can be very proud of your son and the work he is doing. He is so positive and happy, we really enjoyed him. He and Elder Slater picked us up several times, we had dinner with them one night and they even accompanied us to the airport. My husband was able to spend more time with him and said "Elder Madsen has an amazing heart and a bright future ahead of him."

I did do the kissing hand - he blushed and laughed but I could tell he was very touched - and knew just what it meant. He loves you and couldn't say enough about you and his family.

We had such an incredible trip - truly a memory that we will never forget. The people were so wonderful and kind. (Your son translated for us several times and did a great job with the language as well.) I am so happy we had the opportunity to meet him. I will be posting some pictures sometime this weekend on our blog - if you would like to see them.

Have a great day - know that your son is safe, happy and doing a great job serving his Heavenly Father.

A Huge Surprise from Bug!

One of the most amazing couple missionaries, that I follow here on blog world are the Hartman's. They are the blog link called "Our Soul Safari" Elder Hartman wrote the book "The Color Code" and I am a huge fan. I read on their blog last week that they were going to be meeting up with the mission president in Madagascar and posted how excited I was that they would be meeting my son Bug. Sister Hartman wrote an email to me asking me if I would like them to share anything with Bug when they met him this week. I will post about that later after I hear all the mushy details. Long story short..when I came home from work today I was stunned and so excited to recieve this in my email from Sister Hartman.. It is my birthday this weekend and there is nothing that could have been a better present! Thank you for being such kind and considerate people and for absolutely making my whole day!

School Shopping




I love school shopping....I love to be able to see the kids all dressed up in fun new outfits with a hope of new beginnings so to speak on their faces...I have always been a dork about it and loved watching the kids do a "fashion show" showing off all the new styles they had for the year. This year Kassi has definately spirited a new fashion and showing off her spunky personality. I loved it...I am going to do a scrapbook page today showing off all her new outfits but, here is a couple of my favorites..
Josh won't show off his new clothes but has surprised me this year with a definite new style sporting anything with the color purple!! He also "had to have" this fun new leather jacket! And, yes, we finally found shoes...size 14 is tough to find in a style a 14 year old likes...of course they sport the color purple as well!
