Flashback Fridays: Prom

In honor of my step-daughter going to prom this weekend I thought I'd post some of my old prom pictures.  Here are me and the girls at our Junior Prom.

Lori, Kristin, Melissa, Jen, Me and Danielle

Seems like prom isn't what is used to be. We raised a ton of money and rented a hotel "ballroom" and had them supply a buffet meal.  Then we had after prom at a local university that we rented out.  Now the kids get around and then go out to eat...where ever.  Then they go back to the school and have the dance until midnight.  After prom is then at the school from 12-3am.  That, to me, doesn't make any sense.  Isn't the point of after prom to keep kids from being out in the middle of the night?  Isn't it illegal for kids to drive at 3am?  Why are they not keeping them until 6-7am and serving breakfast? So, the dear, sweet hubby will be getting up in the middle of the night to go pick up Cara at 3am.  LAME!

I'm sure despite all the changes...she will have a wonderful time.

Don't forget to visit for the Flashback Friday

Easter 2011



Found his Easter Basket :)
The holidays are starting to be so fun now that Jack is getting a little older.  He loved coloring the eggs for the Easter Bunny and covering them in stickers.  It was entertaining to watch him hunt for his basket (which he's been asking for a week if the Easter Bunny came) and his shock when they weren't lined up by the fireplace. 













Any Eggs under there?


He's such an adorable little man. 
Easter Egg Hunt at Nana and Pawpaw's House
Off to Nana and Pawpaws for some more egg hunting!  This house belonged to my great-grandparents and my parents purchased it and moved a couple years after my Gramma moved into a nursing home.

Gramma Paula looks on.


Nolan was more interested in the ball.


Riley was being camera shy



Easter is definitely up there on Holiday Celebrations for Jack!!!
