Cute Cute Cute Cute Friends

Our good friends, the Rush's came through town for a night.  It was wonderful to see them!  If it weren't for Bill and Carla there would not be James and Minde!  Love and miss those guys.  

Here's a few pics of the kiddo fun.

Spa La La Grand Opening July 9, 2014

 We are incredibly proud of our girl!  Caroline James is creative, brilliant, artistic, determined, and entrepreneurial.  For several years, Caroline has told us that when she grows up she is going to be a "Saloner."  She has practiced on her dolls, her momma and her grandmothers many times.  Caroline's passion for doing nails and hair inspired her to open her 1st Spa this Summer.  She told her teachers and classmates at the end of her Kindergarten year that she was opening her Spa over Summer break.  Every time we went to the store, she wanted to by "supplies" for her salon!  So, we finally looked at the calendar and picked a day to set up the shop!  She designed and sent Evite invitations, as well as gracefully took clients who happened to just "walk in" during the day.  I believe she pampered 11 clients!  Caroline offered manicures, pedicures, hand and foot massages, facials, hair styles and makeup applications.  She served refreshments, played relaxing music and happily accepted a few tips.  She was a true professional and cannot wait for Spa La La next year!

Ready for a Fun Day!!
