~CELEBRATION~

Everything here in the Marimon house hold is great.We are gearing up for the big "worlds fair" this coming week! For all of you from my home town you all know the importance of the WORLDS FAIR!!! EVERYONE comes HOME during the fair and is such a great time to catch up with friends on their past year.

Our past few weeks has been filled with Dr. Appts! Jazmyn has had continuous ear infections since her 2nd set of tubes fell out in May. She has been on 5 (I think) different antibotics since the end May. Poor thing, if her ears don't hurt her poor little belly does from all the meds! We went to our Children's Hosp this past week and we have her 3rd set of tubes going in torwards the end of Oct. It was a little longer than I wanted her to have to wait, but I am glad to at least have a date on the books! We will keep you updated.

I am doing great. Went to the Neursurgeon this past month also. Everything looked wonderful. My only problem has been a slight allergic reaction to the diuretic I am on to decrease the spinal fluid. I was given the option of going ahead with a 2nd surgery for a shunt or continuing my meds with some zyrtec also on board. At this point we are doing the meds and still working on losing more wieght. Weight loss will help reduce the excess fluid as well. I feel great as long as I am taking my meds. As soon as I stop, even for a day or two then the headaches return.

The following pictures of our Beauticontrol team as well as some from our recent trip to DALLAS for our National CELEBRATION. I absolutely LOVE my JOB and expecially love getting to travel to DALLAS a couple times a year!

This is at Annie's house with the Mustang that she and the team earned this past year. It is qute a ride!!!! Some of might get the chance to see it some this coming weekend if you are home for the fair!!

Below: This is Lynda Alexander...she lives in a town of 432 people called Cooter, MO. She just earned her Lexus with the company and has promoted to the National level after just 8 years in the business. This was on our last day as we were packing our cars to head home...she was driving her brand new Lexus home that she was presented with in front of 4,000 of us!
We had a fabulous time. This year was extra special because Theresa has joined our team and we were all able to Celebrate together!!Yes, we are always the wild bunch up on our chairs!! We bring the excitement with us that is for sure!!!! These glow tubes were given to everyone to break open and glow together......but we had the brilliant idea to string all of ours together and truley be ONE team!!!! It was a great moment!

This is our "National" team on stage the final day with an amazing woman in Beauticontrol. Mrs. Barbara Ward is in the dark suit with the short dark hair to my right. She is a 4 Million Dollar Acheiver...meaning her COMMISSIONS have reached that milestone marker. Another great moment!!!

Okay, so the whole weekend was filled with great moments!! Here I am receiving my $100 Mentoring Bonus on stage.

Below: What a great escort we had!! Thanks Fish!!!

Strutting her stuff!!!!! Here is Annie, our Sr. Director and my best friend! She was asked to model in a runway exstravaganza that they had one evening! She did a great job and had fun doing it, and she got to KEEP the dress!!!!

Okay, so we had lots and lots of fun....but we tend to not go to sleep while we are there. We stay up till the wee hours of the morning and then we get up bright and early so we don't miss out on anything...and well....it tends to take a toll on all of us by the last night! Here is Annie, waiting on our dinner to arrive catching a quick nap!!ZZZzzzzzzzz!!!!

I can't wait till next year!!!!

I hope everyone has a happy and safe Labor day weekend! I hope to see many of you at our local fair! God Bless!!!!!

Bible school campout!!!

It has been a great summer!!! One of the kids' best memories has been once again BIBLE SCHOOL CAMP OUT!!!! Every year they camp out for 3 days at my mom and dad's church. They have so much fun being together....and even love being in the tents! Here are a few snapshots of their weekend together!

Faith, Jazmyn, Hope, Anna, Destiny, Ellie and Jonathan

I will say we have the absolute BEST slippin' slide there ever was!!! Our hand made tarp and hay bales is wonderful!!!! Even the grown ups love it!!!

This year there was a special treat....horse back rides for all!!!! My girls really enjoyed this!!!!

Here are Anna and Ellie

...and Jazmyn wanted to stay on the horse allllll day!!!!! She is quite the animal lover....not sure who she got that from...lol!!!

More pictures at Grandma's in our bible school shirts!!! They are growing up so fast!

...and of course Jazzy has her baby in her arms!

I will post another fun one in the next week or so. Things here are going great! I am completely healed up from surgery. The drs have been trying to wean me off of my medicine that I happen to be allergic somewhat to. It is the diuretic that helps eliminate so much spinal fluid. However, my headaches come back instantly when I wean down any at all. I guess for the time being we are going to continue the meds along with my Binderyl/Zyrtec to compensate for the itching allergic reaction...fun fun! I have the option of a shunt but I am trying to avoid it at least for the time being. I feel great though!!!!

Jazmyn started back to preschool this week. She was a little teary eyed the first day,but she has been battling double ear infections for 2 months now. We are going to be having our 3rd tubes surgery sometime in Sept I would imagine. She is excited to be going to school again. She goes 3 days a week for just 2 and a half hours each day. I will post more in the near future about her upcoming surgery as well as how school is going.....

For now, it is BEDTIME!!!!!! Love you all!

Family Reunion

I am not going to write much today as Jazmyn and I just got in today from our family reunion in Indiana and I am packing to head to Dallas Wed morning! I can't wait to get to Dallas and see what this year's Celebration has in store for us!!! I will make another post next week! Until then, enjoy these pictures from Indiana~!!

Here are my precious nieces!! They are TOO grown up! Destiny is 11, Faith is 10 and Hope is 6!

My Love bug!!!

Have a great week!

MUSTANG ! ! !

What an awesome company I work for !!!! A year ago I never would have believed someone if they had told me that it was even remotely possible to love a J.O.B. as much as I do! But today, I would believe them! It's so great to LOVE a j.o.b. so much that you would gladly do it for nothing, but then to do it well enough that everyone is HAPPY to pay you for it!! Now that's life like I like it!! Not only do I love my job and love the opportunity that it offers to so many, but I love the perks of the job too! Check out this BRAND NEW RED FORD MUSTANG below....this is a PERK of my company!! One of my dearest friends, Annie, is a Director with this company, (as is my mom) and has earned her FREE, yes....totally FREE 2010 Mustang! It was delivered on Tuesday, July 7th to a very gracious team! It is one amazing car!!!!

Here is Annie and her husband Fish and some of their family on delivery day!

Annie taking Mama and Jazmyn for a spin around the parking lot! WHOOAAA....Hang on tight!!!

This was such a fun day! It was made even sweeter by getting the honors of driving this fancy car off the lot and all the way to our house!! During the 6 months that it took to earn this car, mom and I were in the #1 and #2 spots on the team and therefore we earned the honor of the first night in the car! Mama drove it home and then I had it the next day! Boy...was it fun!!!!

Here we are leaving the dealership!!! I have never liked seeing children in convertibles...but it was too tempting! She was safely buckled in her car seat and we drove the speed limit, I promise!!!
The proud mama and papa holding their 'Free and Clear' title and keys!

It was an emotional day filled with such accomplishments! Only 9 more months and mama and I will have our team's first Mustang too! WOOHOO!!!!

Are you asking, "What company" yet?? It is of course, BEAUTICONTROL!!!!! The opportunity that this company offers has truly changed my life along with so many other woman on my team! It is a remarkable company full of integrity and very high character that I am honored and proud to be a part of! My life will never be the same!

And here is some of the team celebrating!!

ZOOM ZOOM!!!!!!!

I wanted to share an email that I sent out to our team earlier this month. I hope you enjoy reading it! Take care and May God Bless you and YOURS! Have the most phenomenal day...today!!
Love, Kimberly



As I sit here and ponder....I have VERY fresh memories of our past 20 hours, our RIDE yesterday leaving Odessa in the Kleoppel unit's BRAND NEW RED MUSTANG, our trips around town just to show it off, some of the team getting to sit in it, in AHHH, and our journey today to take it back to Annie! It is quite a car and boy was it fun to drive!! It certainly has a lot HORSE power under that hood!

I know Annie can't wait for each of you to get to experience this car for yourself and even put the 'pedal to the metal' or "step on it!" as Jazmyn has been telling me to do quite often! I have to admit....I did have fun with it, I enjoyed the looks from other drivers, even LOVED getting pulled over in it today when the cop couldn't see the temp tag from the back! I think he just wanted to get up close and personal with the Mustang! It was so much fun to tell him that this was a FREE very specially earned car!!! (I think I have him quite interested in Beauticontrol....and he even ASKED for a business card to give his wife! Yes, my mind is always rolling with BC!!)

With all that a side..... I want to say one more thing about the MUSTANG....yes, it is a fabulous car, but it is JUST a car!! The memories that I have of Annie and the team spa'ing and changing woman's lives, the dreams that I have of my team one day earning their first Mustang, the relationships that we have formed along the way, the Miracles we have seen God turn into realities, and the lives that we have seen refreshed, renewed, and Sweet'Ned FOREVER far outweigh the value of this car! We will all have fun in it and don't get me wrong....I can't wait for mama and I to be signing papers on ours, but that's not our focal point! We can change so many men and woman's lives forever with our opportunity and we do it because we LOVE it and because we believe in those we share it with not because we simply want a MUSTANG!

We have much more to offer than even a $40,000 car! We have LIFE to give to those in need and let us never forget that or diminish that! Keep your heart open and your mind renewed, go out each and every day and offer this AMAZING life changing opportunity to all those you come in contact with! You never know when they are just one moment away from devastation and what you have could change their life forever. Don't hold back, share what Jesus has put in your life and be a blessing to as many as you can!

FIREWORKS ! ! !

We had a fabulous 4th of JULY!! We spent the day at HOME, safe and sound with just the three of us with no timeline and no agenda, it may sound BORING to some, but it is just the way I like it!!!...then just before dark we went to the fairgrounds to enjoy a picnic lunch with Grandma and Grandpa followed by FIREWORKS!! It was a nice close to a relaxing day.

Here is Jazmyn with "Buddy"...Bam-ma and Papa's new puppy. He is 3 years old and is a very well behaved and sweetly SPOILED little pup! He has blended well with the entire family. Jazzy certainly enjoys seeing him whenever possible.

Jazmyn loved the fireworks!!!!!

Trying to get Jazzy to turn around for a single picture was quite the chore! I simply wanted ONE picture of her with the Fireworks in background, but she didn't want to miss a single Firework!!! I guess I don't blame her... and I did manage to somewhat get ONE picture, she was smiling but by the time she turned around the firework was dwindling down already!


It was a VERY fun evening! I hope you all watched fireworks somewhere with your loved ones!

Visiting with our cousins!!!

First of all , I have to apologize for being so behind on this blog!! I am updating it now...of course these first pictures are from our visit with Theresa and her girls back for MEMORIAL weekend !! O well...better late than never, right? Sure!

Jazmyn and I went to STL for 3 days in May to enjoy the company of my sister and her three girls, Destiny, Faith, and Hope. It was a wonderful visit. We played at the park near their house and we went to Incredible Pizza Company one day and evening! It was a great time spent and the girls loved being together! Here are a few snapshots from our weekend!

Jazmyn and Hope

This is Jazmyn on the bumper cars. She was actually about 2, maybe 3 inches too short for these and was told she could not ride the first time, but rebel mommy told her to stand on her tippie toes about an hour later and walk past the man and he would never notice! I was right, she walked past the man, he smiled in approval, and strapped her into the car! She had a great ride, over and over and over and OVER again! Hope was just tall enough that she didn't have to do the whole tippie toe thing so they had a great time bumping each other on these cars!! They were actually pretty awesome ones, quite fast!!!!!

She loved them!!!

Faith, Jazmyn, Hope, Destiny

Mommy and Jazzy playing miniature golf with fluorescent lighting and black lights! We were all glowing!

Check out these guitar pros!!!! Look at the intensity in little Hopie's face! Too cute!

Bowling with MINIATURE balls!!!!

Our day at the park! They had so much fun together! Wish we lived closer!

I will work on the next few updates asap! I have some neat pictures from July 4th....and some of our Beauticontrol family that I will be posting soon.

Walter, Chad's little boy is doing wonderfully!! He is growing everyday. Chad says he is a pretty content baby. They have figured out that if they bathe him just before bed that he will sleep about 5 hours the first nightly stretch! For a month old that is pretty good I suppose! Jazzy never slept good, and still doesn't at times!!! I'll post new pictures of him soon as well!

Hope you are all having a wonderful summer! We have enjoyed time at the pool and the park quite a bit. Check back this week for more updates! God Bless!!!
