Prom 2015

Prom was last Saturday March 7, 2015

Yes, a very early prom

Lots of pretty dead trees and brown grass as backgrounds for photos

But these kiddos made it all look fabulous!

Nobody warned me that I might cry....

Now, I know about Senior day and graduation and dropping them off at college, but nobody mentioned tears being shed at Junior prom???

My first baby just looked so beautiful and just so darn grown up.

How did that happen?

They had a fabulous time and it was so fun to see them all dressed up!

She was just this size! Practicing cartwheels in the yard and driving the Barbie jeep!

Notice the small pop of color? No, not flowers, a pink umbrella in the driveway where the little girls were playing :)

Julia went with her good friend Jimmy

The thing is, these girls stepped off the soccer field just a few hours before! Quite a transformation!!!

Love that they can be strong, athletic AND beautiful!

This is a great group of kids!!!

Jaida begged us to let her come to the picture taking location. She just loves observing all the big girls. Julia was happy to oblige. 

I love this daughter of mine who has become a young lady right before my eyes. It is exciting... and teary, to step into these next stages of life with her. You looked beautiful sweetheart!

I love you Julia Irene!!!

Awards

WARNING! Brag post. 

Well, it is my blog and it is my family's yearbook so documenting the good and bad go on here.

First up is Sam.

Sam finished his first year of middle school basketball just a few weeks ago.

This was only his second year of playing basketball.

He was awarded the Cavalier Award.

The coach said,"Sam is the type of player any coach would want on their team."

Way to go buddy! So VERY proud of you!

Julia's basketball season ended last week with a very quick transition into soccer!

Her team made it to the state playoffs this year which was one of their goals for the season.
