Sweetheart Swing Prom

A friend and I came up with the idea a while back to hold a Prom.  Well, the day finally arrived and we held the dance this last Saturday.  We had so much fun!  Dave has never been crazy about dancing, but I put him in charge of the music play list and he got so excited.  (I was glad because the music was one thing I was really overwhelmed about.) I got excited and made a new dress.  It seemed to take forever, but I learned a lot in the process.  I even made Dave a tie to match.  So, here are just a few picts. of Dave and I before we left for the dance, and then at the dance in the picture area.  We'll definitely have to do this again! 

Family Pictures

My wonderful sister in law, Ann, was so kind to take some family pictures for us on Saturday.  Here are a few of my favorites. 

 Oh my heck, he looks soooooo grown up!

 Love his eyes in this one.

I think it is nearly impossible to get all 5 of us to be looking and happy at the same time.  But, we'll take the best we can get.  I love how these turned out.  Our last pictures of our family other than snapshots are before Greyson was born.  I think it was time.  Thanks Ann for your time and expertise.  

Easter and Greyson's Birthday

Oh what fun . . . Greyson's one!  I literally can't believe that!!!  Wade and Joan (Dave's parents) came down a few days early and we celebrated and then we celebrated again with my family on Easter weekend when we were all together already.  Here are a few picts of our festivities. 

 Chad wanted to have a piniata for the party.  I didn't want to smash up a $20 purchase, so we made our own.  It was a lot of fun, and a lot of mess.  It didn't last long once we started taking swings at it.  But, everyone had a lot of fun with it and I'll have to remember to do another one. 

 My parents put on an egg hunt at their home this year.  It was a lot of fun and everyone of their grandkids were there.  That doesn't happen very often.  Here is all ten kiddos (9 boys and only 1 girl) with my parents.  It was a lot of fun. 

In order to make it fair, my mom had printed a sheet for each kid with how many of each color of egg they were to pick up.  It was so fun to watch each of them refer to their list and search.  Of course, the littlest ones just loaded up and we had to sort them out later.  Here is Chad consulting his guide.
