Jr. Prom goes great, whew!

The prom went very well considering the awful week trying to get everything put together. I have decided that it is easier to send a girl to the prom than a boy. We finally got a limousine reserved, reservations at the restaurant, coursage, and tuxedo ordered. The hardest part was trying to get these 7 boys together to make the final plans. Finally I just did everything and then printed out a memo for every boy with times to meet, how much everything was and all the final plans ect. then Kyle handed them out. The morning of the prom the whole group of kids 14 to be exact plus a few stragglers went to Boondocks and had a blaste. They all went to get their dates at 3:30 and met at the school to get in the Limo. The Limo driver turned out to be lots of fun, he brought a Ford Excursion stretch Limo and Kyle was in Heaven.lol He went with Melissa Baird who looked absolutely beautiful. They went to the Roof in the Joseph Smith Memorial building to eat dinner, then returned to the prom. The prom was beautiful and everything went well. After they went to Dallin Littlefield's to watch the movie Bedtime stories on a huge screen T.V. but all of them fell asleep. They were all exhausted. Kyle went with a great group of kids and I had no worries!! Kyle was home by 1:00 and Mom is finally sleeping like a baby.lol Kyle looked so handsome!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone was coming up to him at the prom expecially lots of moms and was bragging to him how handsome he looked. Of course I smiled with pride. tee hee

Cowboy baseball

Wow!! Our Grantsville High School baseball team (in which my very handsome husband is the coach.lol) is really lighting them up. We have started the season with an impressive 4-0 win streak. Loren has decided not to shave as long as they keep winning. I am hoping that he looks like Moses by the end of the season. Go Cowboys!!

The Big Jr. Prom

As most of you know, the last child that I sent to the prom did not have a fairytale ending. Hillary got into a terrible car accident the night of her prom and gave us all a scare. She never made it to the prom, she spent it in the emergency room. I was the one who talked her into going and I have felt very guilty since.

So when it came to my handsome son (Kyle) I was not going to push him into going to his Jr. Prom and boy was I surprised when he decided to go. Don't get too excited because he still refuses to Promanade. He has asked a really Cute and sweet girl to go with him, Melissa Baird.

I wanted to share the cute way that he asked her and her cute response back. Before I do that I want to tell my niece Krista, Thank you for all your help in finding limos, flowers and your cute creative ideas. You see Krista has been planning Ty's prom for 17 years and so she was right there to help me get everything together at the last minute. You are awesome, Krista. Love Ya! This has already been so fun and exciting.

Finishing 4th grade for the 4th time

If you have been around me lately you have probably heard me say, "I hate the 4th grade."lol That is because I have felt like I have taken 4th grade four different times with me being first, then Hillary, then Kyle and finally J.D. I will not miss the fourth grade. Sorry to all those teachers out there. Each month we are asked to do a book report not an ordinary book report. One month it was a mobile another month it was a scence in a shoebox and oh my favorite a puppet. Don't get me wrong I am all for education but I do wonder who is getting the education repeatedly. Then there is the big 4th grade county float which has gave me great stress. As a born and raised Grantsvillite it is a known fact that this is a big deal just as the 1st. grade circus was. I asked all of J.D.'s friends how many of them actually did their own float only to get the same repeated answer, "I didn't even touch my float my mom, dad ect. did my float." The real sad thing is for the people that have just moved here and have no clue of the 4th grade float's importance. It is indeed exciting to go to the program and gaze upon these floats only to ohhh and awww over them. Then you come to that one child who's family has no clue of it's importance and it is only obvious that the child was left to their own to create. I am so glad to finish fourth grade for the final time.lol Oh and by the way, thanks Kyle for your creative hand in doing J.D.'s float. I guarantee you it won't be your last. tee hee
