LuvBug Meeting #1

Hey everyone! We had our first LuvBug meeting today. It was an awesome time of networking and sharing. Sandra Peabody offered up her restaurant for our meeting and lunch. It was a jewel of a location that I never even knew existed! Peabody's Restaurant is located at 312 E Commercial St. in Springfield. What a perfect location for a rehearsal dinner! I plan on having dinner there with my husband on our next "date night":-) We had a total of 40 vendors show up for our first meeting, we were just thrilled with the turn out. We had a very positive response and I think everyone is excited for our next meeting. I just want to say Thank You to all the vendors who came,participated and shared. Below are a few quick pics we grabbed while at Peabody's. I am looking forward to the great networking opportunity next month!








They were networking AFTER the meeting on the sidewalk even! LOVE IT!

Sierra and Lauren!

My daughter had one of her best friends Lauren stay the night on Friday. So I decided to take them out for a small photo session. Here are just a couple of pics from my young models. :-) Just so you know my daughter is the one with the darker hair. I would be willing to claim Lauren as my own any day though! ;-)

Kyla's Fun in KC

Hi Guys, it's Kyla.

My husband and I visited my family in KC this past weekend and we were able to ride Segways. My sister Karly runs the dealership in KC, Segway Experience. Not only do they sell Segways but they give tours all over KC on them. We just dropped in to say hi and before we knew it she had us all on them and out the door. It didn't take long for us to get the hang of them, they are a lot of fun.

The store is located in Union Station so Karly took us across the street to the Liberty Memorial. At the top you get a great view of the KC skyline. Karly was telling us a lot of historic facts about the city and it made me want to take a real tour.

If you guys are in KC and looking for something to do stop by and say hi to Karly and sign up for a tour.

Here is a picture of our family at the end of our tour.

Needless to say I am so excited to spend some great beach time with them. We are planning to do a "Trash the Dress" while we are there! (yeah!). Just from the short amount of time we spent together I know Maui is going to be a blast! We had a great connection and I can't wait till Oct of '09 gets here. :-)
