A little about me

So, I realized that I didn't say much about myself before. I guess it's because I get so involved with kids I don't take much time to focus on me. So, I'm doing it now :). I have two small home based business'. First of all I am a custom vinyl lettering/graphic distributor.

So you can order practically anything in vinyl in a whole range or colors. Price is dependant on what you order (size and such) It's a lot of fun. If you ever want to order anything or see my idea binder let me know, I'll be happy to bring it to you or you can come to me. A few ideas that I had and have around my house:

We don't have a fireplace, and the kids were concerned about where to hang their Christmas stockings, so I made this:For Mother's Day I couldn't find a better way than this to express appreciation for my Mom just being her and for being an AWESOME grandma to my kids.
My other business is Avon. I have been selling it for about three years. It's really good products for a decent prices. I have my own website to take web orders on. It is www.youravon.com/candiceparker. They sell so much more than just make-up :). Otherwise I am a stay at home mom who carts kids all over the place, but I wouldn't trade them for anything!

Here is Ben with our Kitty Lucy. He just loves to carry her all around.

In my spare time,(alright who am I kidding? Spare time WHATEVER) I love taking pictures. John use to say I took too many pictures, so he bought me a really nice digital SLR camera a couple of years ago. That way I could take as many pictures as I wanted. I have have definitely gotten my moneys worth. Here is a picture of Lucy

I know that this is suppose to be about me, but without my kids I wouldn't be who I am today. So I wanted to add in their spring school pictures:

Ethan fourth grade

Katie second grade

Taylor preschool

I couldn't decide which picture I liked best of Mr. Ben. Both of these show who is. He loves trains, any kind, and was excited to go and ride Front Runner. Last year we took him to ride Thomas the Train in Heber. He LOVED it, to say the least. This other picture was at the second grade Friendship program at the kids school. Ben wasn't to impressed with the program as you can see, so he decided to make it more fun!

Now this is a funny story, John asked me what I would pay him if he would eat a Habanero pepper I told him I would give him $20.00. He accepted the bet and here he is just before taking his first bite:I thought he was going to change his mind about our bet. I was wrong.

bite number one

It didn't seem to hot at first. But boy did it ever get HOT quick! He ate it in two bites though!

Man was it ever HOT! It brought tears to his eyes and rolled down his face. He drank lots of milk and ate some plain bread after to no avail. My poor man had a belly ache for almost a week after.

He said he wouldn't eat another one for at least two years and he better get paid more. I reminded him He agreed to the bet, but I did feel bad and gave him $30.00. He says it still wasn't worth it. The kids had a good laugh over it and we do have it all on video.
