Time Sure Flies!

It seems like yesterday Danny and I spent the day together getting his senior pictures taken, and now here we are taking Lindsay's already! Thought I'd share these with you.

A Look at Things to Come!!

McKenna and her Best Friend Forever Chelsi went to their first formal dance last night held at Chelsi's church. They had so much fun getting ready together and looked so beautiful...which is very scary! They danced the night away, with I'm sure, a lot of giggles in between!

All Good Things Must End

Lindsay's time as a Moses Lake High School Drill team member has come to an end. She has put in three fun-filled, tear-invoking, body-aching, belly-laughing years. She has hated some moments, but loved even more. She has made great friends, experienced things she will never ever forget and have lots of stories to tell and pictures to show her own children some day. But sadly with growing up and graduating and moving on, the time has come to say good-bye. The drill team year ended with a fun banquet at Chico's pizza with the senior girls looking forward to their next phase in life and holding on to all their memories!

Here is Lindsay with her Coach and some of the girls (and of course her parents and sister!)

Decision Made!

Lindsay has made her BIG decision! She is going to Arizona State University and is going to be a Sun Devil! I can't believe how time flies, Danny is almost done with his first year of college, Lindsay is going away to college next fall and McKenna will start high school! All I can say is... WOW!

Mom's Weekend!

This past weekend was Mom's Weekend at WSU. With Lindsay gone to Cancun and Ron ending up having to work, I took McKenna with me and we joined Danny on Saturday. First we hit the Bookie to stock up on our Cougar wear, Dan took us to lunch at the Southside Cafe, we found a purse party but got there after the mad rush and nothing was left, had ice cream at Ferdinand's, went to a craft fair, took 4 of Dan's friends to dinner and ended the evening with a Huey Lewis and the News concert! Huey can still ROCK!!

Being the diligent person I am, I charged my camera battery the night before so I could capture all these moments with my first child in his freshman year...and of course left the battery charging on the kitchen counter! ARRRGGGGG. Here's some cell phone pictures ---

Waiting in line at Ferdinand's (it was worth it)

Waiting for Huey!

At That Age?

This is me...and anyone who knows me well, knows that I do not take aging in stride. I do not embrace my lines and wrinkles. I don't like being on that slippery slope towards 50. Don't acknowledge my birthday? Fine with me. And I honestly don't know who that person staring back at me in the mirror is. So you can imagine how I felt yesterday when someone asked me how old I am. I answered 46, and they said,"Wow, you really look good for that age." Now I know this is supposed to be a compliment, but when I said "ahh, thank you?", they replied..."No really, for THAT age, you look good."

So maybe I shouldn't fight it, maybe I should embrace the fact that everything is heading south and there is not a darn thing I can do about it, maybe I should become content with who I am...yeah right!

Now where is that number for the plastic surgeon...
