Our Lil' Experience

Tuesday, August 14, 2007

My sisters (Autumn and Abbie) came to visit me at the beginning of the month. When they came, my aunt Lori and her kids came to visit us as well from Tracey, California. We had a lot of fun. I must say that I have a pretty entertaining family. My dad's side of the family is SO funny! I love them.

I have finally put more on the blog! Are you proud? If I can figure it out, I have a sweet video of Lilly puking in Joel's mouth and a video of Lilly's first day sitting up all by herself! I am having problems with downloading them, so check later for updates.
Joel just got two new jobs last week. He now works at Hard Hat (a restaurant), as a server, and with a Realtor doing everything from Designing to yard work. He likes both jobs and now is even busier with his 10 credits at school on top of it all.
I just sold my first batch of baby bracelets. Joel designed the packaging and logo and we are researching how to best go about getting our website up and running. The business is called Baby Nectar. I sold a bunch of my bracelets to a new store in town called Bun in the Oven and they will soon sell my bracelets on their website, too.
We have 12 candy machines right now and Joel wants to buy 20 more in the near future. I'm not sure if you realize how much candy that is. It is a lot, believe me.
