Celebrate Education 121/365

Celebrate Education 2010 was an amazing success! Kalena Meyers and her very creative team made the event fun for all! This year Celebrate Education was held on May 1st - the same day as the Kentucky Derby. So the event was Kentucky Derby themed. The decorations were fantastic, the food was delicious and the guests were a blast! All that and we raised some serious funds for the school - so it was a win win!

Part of the evening included a ladies hat contest. The hats were stunning and the ladies were beautiful.



Jennifer Delmolino won by a landslide!

96/365 Hanging out with Charles and Aubrey

During spring break, we got the chance to spend time with Charles and Aubrey.

They recently redecorated one of the areas in their house and transformed it into a zen, meditation room. Love the colorful piles of pillows.



It is American Idol night, and while we've never really watched it - Charles and Aubrey love it. They have been doing theme nights lately. Since the American Idols were singing songs of the Beatles, the theme for this week was bugs. Charles wore his big shirt and decorated with some of his buggy superhero action figures.



Getting ready for the show to start





Charles is taking notes of each performance to blog later... you can read it here.







I was able to sneak in a pedicure during spring break - yay!

304/365 Halloween Pt 2

When I got back home, we set up the front yard in anticipation of Trick or Treaters.

First my pumpkin (get it, pumpkin pi!)

And then our pumpkins together (awwww)

After the trick or treaters were done, we headed over to a party at Charles and Aubrey's house.

Yep - Matt was a Google Doodle!
