The kids gave Gwanddad a call this morning to sing him "Happy Birthday!" Kaelyn always gets VERY excited when that particular song is sung. As soon as we hung up she turned to me and said, "where's the cake?"

Catching Up
Here are some of the pictures from our Disney trip two weeks ago. Our family was invited to join my cousin Ryan's family for their trip to Disney...we had a wonderful time.
Florida battled a tropical depression the entire week that we were there, so it was by far the wettest trip to Disney that we have ever taken...but still fun, nontheless! However, I have very limited pictures this time because I was always fearful of taking my camera out of the bag for fear of ruining it from all the water.
Kaelyn just looked through the pictures with me and reminded me that she did not like Goofy or Donald Duck. When I asked her why, she told me that they both made her cry...which is true...she did cry every time she saw them. Crazy girl!

A Visit from Kendall & Krista
Krista & Kendall came for a visit today...along with Lisa & her crew, they took K & Zeke to the zoo today while I worked from the house. My kids had a great time running around playing with everyone..they were completely worn out when I put them to bed tonight.
For dinner we all went (along with Bryan) to Gringo's. It was really nice to have the opportunity to sit around the table and talk...it seems like it has been a while...it was good to catch up. It was a really nice way to spend the evening of the 3 month mark since Brad's passing.

Trip to the Beach
We took a trip to Galveston beach on Saturday. It was so much fun getting to watch the kids run through the waves and to see them rolling in the sand. Zeke LOVES the beach. He would spend the whole day in the deeper water, jumping waves..he enjoys it so much.

Preschool Graduation
Zeke's school hosted a little preschool graduation this past Thursday morning. As I sat back and watched Zeke walk across and wave, I smiled at the thought of how much he has grown and matured this year. The moment was so bitter sweet...Zeke was so proud of himself and I wished that I could have been there with Brad, watching Brad's reaction to the event. I could just see Brad grinning at Zeke's pride and excitement.
Zeke is enrolled to start Kindergarten this fall...yikes! I can't believe that I am old enough to have a school-age child. Zeke has enjoyed Pre-K so much this year...he has been blessed with amazing teachers and has learned SO much! I am absolutely amazed at how quickly he took in all that was being presented in class. What a gift for him to be a part of such a special program, surrounded by teachers that cared for him so deeply. God certainly blessed us with this experience.

Back In Business!
Well, I am in search of my "new-normal" in my life right now and have decided to jump-start my Mary Kay business! I believe this re-focus will push me in the right direction to re-establish a new routine while driving in solid revenue to pay the bills :)
I am frequently asked if I am still working my business so the answer is a resounding YES! And I am also often approached about ways that someone could help me at this time. So, here are a few of great ways (in order of importance) that YOU could help support our family at this time by helping boost my business. I am working to largely expand my customer base so here is how you can help.
#1 Host a MK party with 4-6 women who are over 18 and don't already have an MK consultant (if you don't live in Houston..that is ok..I am traveling A LOT this summer and chances are, I am probably coming to your area) Just give me a call 832-661-1651 or email me at jwims@marykay.com and we will book a really fun party for you and a few girlfriends!
#2 Book a facial to try all the latest and greatest products & bring a friend with you!
#3 Order some fantastic Mary Kay products from my online website at www.marykay.com/jwims
If you don't live in the Houston area..it is not a problem...I have a great mailing system and I will mail right to your door!
Thanks for all the love and support that you consistently show to our family. We are so blessed to have each of you in our life. Lots of hugs!

My Little Helper
Brad's flowers have all come back this season in full force. It is reassuring to see something that he loved so much to be flourishing right before my eyes. I absolutely love it.
No need to worry about hiring someone to tend to our flower beds because I am fortunate enough to have Kaelyn's help with all the plant pruning. One of her favorite joys is picking of the "mommy flowers" (the bigger ones) and the "baby flowers" (the smaller buds). She is a great help!
