Bobbi Kristina

I had the most amazing opportunity to work with Whitney Houston's family for the Billboard Music Awards.  And honestly...nicest people ever.

I got to spend the entire day in their suite.

Eat lunch with them and chat about Whitney's life.

Something I will never forget.

What I DO want to forget is that I will be on an episode of their new reality TV show called the Houston Chronicles.

I hate that kind of stuff.  I know I sounded ridiculous.

Probably looked even worse and ugh....

anyways,

Bobbi Kristina was accepting the lifetime achievement award for her mom.  It was a very emotional night.

Lots of people stopping by to share stories of Whitney.

This was also Bobbi's first appearance since her moms passing.

I was very honored to be a part of this and am thankful for the Batterman Group in giving me this opportunity.

The only bummer about these pictures is that she had been crying pretty hard and I had no way of touching her up before these were taken.  So, she looks a little puffed up but considering.....

she looks good.

Weddings in the air....

I have had two friends get married in the past month.

Hadn't done alot of weddings lately...so I was excited.

Kari looked beautiful.  She's so super sweet and I wish her and Jared a lifetime of happiness.

And.....I wish I could blog pictures from her reception but that may be a little nervy...it was SO stinkin cute.  The decorations were amazing - exactly my style and I loved every single thing!

BEFORE

AFTER

Now, Heather had a traditional Indian wedding.

Her dress was amazingly beautiful.

The traditions of the ceremony were so cool to learn about.

I even participated in the ceremony.  Was NOT expecting that.

I did get henna drawn all over my hand which was beautiful.

Total fun 4 day event!

Lame that this was my only picture from my camera!

I'll have to bust out my iphone pictures soon!

Congratulations to Heather and Raza!



Happy Fathers Day to the best dad out there

I cannot even express how much I love this man.  He is more than just the perfect dad.  He is one of my best friends.  He teaches me everyday what it is to love and be a great person.  He has a crazy amount of patience which I admire and he seriously....I mean SERIOUSLY can fix and do anything.  I am so blessed to have Richie as my dad!

Happy Fathers Day!

I love you dad!

Dance Recital

Emmy and Paige (unfortunately not pictured....bad aunt)

were in their annual dance recital.

They were so good...and cute!

We had fun watching them and even more entertaining was Aurah pole dancing in the aisle.

Wow!

I brought both the girls flowers to make them feel special.

They probably died the next day but hey?

It's the thought that counts right??

Preschool Graduation

Happy Day for these two cuties!

Aurah and Emmy had their preschool graduation.

And, it's actually Aurah's LAST preschool day before kindergarten next year!

They were so stinkin cute.

And funny.  Emmy was yawning.....and Aurah seemed more interested in her little boyfriend Carson.

I brought them mini Winchell sprinkled donuts.

And a sucker for Hadley of course.

So proud of these little girls.

And where in the heck does the time go???

My mom is better than your mom

Well, I know alot of you have great moms,

BUT

I think my mom is amazing, beautiful, and talented!

She has taught me how to serve others.

How to love unconditionally.

and the list goes on and on and on........

I am so lucky to have the parents and siblings I do.

LOVE!

Happy Mothers Day 2012

and a flashback from 1977 

Pinewood Derby

That time of year again!

Where Dave helps a little with the car

but Hayley basically builds the car.

and paints it.

but totally makes dane get involved.

So cute.

So, my parents and I went to go check it out!

Although Dane didn't win, he got some kind of award

and we had a blast watching all the other cars!

I love my family!
