My mom turned the big 6 0 on July 18th. My sister and I wanted to surprise her and do something fun that she hadnt done before. So we took her over to the JW Marriott in North Scottsdale. What a nice place! We set up a spa day for ourselves. My mom has NEVER done anything like that so we decided that she would really like to be pampered.
We scheduled her for a Turqouise Facial and Turquoise massage. She Loved them. Really who wouldnt love it?! My sister and I got facials which were very relaxing. We had so much fun spending most of the day at the spa. We wish we could have stayed longer. It was really nice and fun just to visit and do something relaxing together. I don't think that I have laughed with my mom and sister like that for a very long time and so I was glad that we made time and spent it together. We had fun going out to eat and shopping. We took her to Sprinkle to get a birthday cupcuke. Of course it was delicious!
I couldnt find the battery for my digital camera, so I grabbed my older one and realized I needed a battery for it. I ran in to target to pick it up and went to buy some more film. I was shocked to realize that you can't buy advantix film anymore. what in the world. It wasnt THAT long ago we actually took regular pictures and had them developed. So I have a nice camera with no film available. I will have to look online I am sure there must be somewhere I can get it. So I have to still get the film developed before I can post pictures. Doesn't that sound funny. So you will have to wait for the pictures. I will post some of just me with my mom and sister over the years...hope you enjoy.
Thanks for being a good mom to me all of these years. I hope that you enjoyed the time we were together at the resort/spa. We need to make more time for ourselves so we can have memories of just the girls together! I love you mom!

Sounds like you all had a great time. I have NEVER been to a spa my self. But sounds very relaxing!
How fun! I want a spa day! Those are the best!!
Hey Rachel--
I will admit I am green with envy. I'm thinking that we women need to do more of that sort of thing instead of waiting until we are 60! I know I would be more pleasant. Girl Power! Hee Hee.
Happy birthday to your mom. What a wonderful way to celebrate. I love girls only days.
After all that work! And you couldn't get a picture of all your fun! Bummer! Thanks for the congrats RAchel!
What a fun day with your Mom. I thought I was bad for never having a pedicure until I was 28. Although, I've never done a full spa day, now THAT would be Awesome!
Oh and...
LOVE the pics, I have a few pretty good ones with the same hair.
How fun it was to see your pictures. Wow, can I see Makenna in you. Its like seeing her there. I am glad to hear you have fun. It is so fun to look back and see how much things have changed. I am glad you got to have time with your mom and sis. Those things are important. I've missed you at work. Hope your back is healing.
