Meet the Diva's in training...

JJ has 3 grand kids and counting. Jaxon is 8, Jaci is 2 1/2, Olivia is 9 months, and Bently is due to join the family in December. Jaxon, Jaci and Olivia are Ashley's children. They have been part of JJ's Nail Academy all their lives. While Ashley tries to work around her kids and husband, there are many days she has to bring them in with her. Jaxon is in school so it's usually Jaci and Olivia. Thankfully, our staff and students are wonderful with them and are very understanding. I (Ashley) am very appreciative of this!

Well, Miss Jaci is definitely a DIVA! She has taken under Grandma JJ's wings and thinks she can fill her shoes some day. She LOVES to have her nails painted by the girls who aren't busy, and to paint their nails in return. She loves glitter and glam... She is, the next JJ!

This is Jaci getting her nails done by Bobbie Jo

Then, she painted Austin's toes..

(and skin, and her dress, and her finger.....)

This is Olivia exploring

This is "a great idea for a babysitter"......


While Olivia is still young, I can only imagine she will follow in the Peay Girls footsteps too.

Playing in Pennsylvania

We finished all our training and received our certificates of completion. YEAH!! One more step done and closer to the big goal. Whew! Boy did NACCAS make ya work for the certificate.

Now that the works done, it was time to play. Clint, JJ and Steve were able to cruise along the Ohio River and sight see. The views are so pretty and it's so green in Pittsburgh.

They were also able to take a trolley ride

Along the Ohio River

Then for lunch, we of course had to stop at the J&J restaurant... convenient huh?

This trip is coming to a close and were excited to come home and share our experience. Looking forward to 2000 miles of driving about as much as we can muster :)
