The Good Stuff ~ 9/02/2021

~~~~~~~~

I've got some catching up to do!

~The Wedding!  Kaylee and Shawn's wedding was beautiful!  I didn't cry until the Father/Daughter Dance and then the tears streamed down my face.  

I was OK after that until I came home for the night.  All the preparations and changes hit me and I SOBBED!  Then I was OK...again :)  

The food was amazing and the photographer did an amazing job.  We have a full gallery of pictures.  I wish I could share them all with you but that would be impossible.  These are a few of my favorites:

~A Freshman!  Not only do I have a married daughter, I now have a Freshman in High School too!  The first picture below shows Kaylee and Laken on Laken's first day of Kindergarten.  The second picture is Laken last year (8th grade) and the next picture was Laken on her first day as a Freshman in High School.  Look how much she has changed in just a year!  I can just see the attitude oozing from her in the picture from this year ;)

~Homecoming!  Laken and her friends have decided to do the whole Homecoming "Thing" this year now that they are old enough to attend.  (There will be no boys in the group.  Thankfully, boys are still icky!)  They are going to do a fancy dinner, get photos and go to the dance.  This is the dress that was supposed to be delivered yesterday but wasn't due to the localized flooding.  Hopefully it comes today!  We're going to be adding straps and I'm hoping this model is REALLY tall and that the dress is a bit longer on Laken :)

~A New Job!  Kaylee started a new job the week after returning from her Honeymoon.  She is now working at Subway.  She's making more money for less hours so that is a plus :)

~No Complaining!  My dear sister-in-law, Kelly, has asked me to do a challenge with her for the whole month of September.  30 Days of No Complaining!  It has been 1 day and I've been catching myself more than I thought I would.  The idea is to DECREASE complaining and INCREASE gratitude :)

What has you thankful/smiling/exited this week?  Tell me all the good stuff!

Family Time ~ Prom 2017 ~ 5/9/17

 

Has your facebook feed blown up with Prom pictures lately?  Mine has.  I'll admit to adding a few of those pictures myself!

Kaylee is a Junior this year so her class was in charge of decorating the school gym for the Junior/Senior Prom.  The theme this year was "Rustic Romance".

The day started out with rain pouring down.  Not a good sign.  However, by afternoon, the sun started shining and it turned out to be a beautiful evening.

I took a ton, I mean a ton, of pictures of Kaylee and her date/boyfriend, Shawn.  Here are some of my favorites:

 

 

And my absolute FAVORITE:

I still can't believe my baby girl is going to be a Senior in just a few weeks!

Please leave a comment with a link so I can return the visit!

TSMSS ~ Cinderella ~ 10/27/12

As I mentioned in THIS POST yesterday, last night my 7th grader, Kaylee, went to her first Jr-Sr High Dance.  She had me straighten her hair and help her with her costume.  I'll be posting pictures in the upcoming week.

I can't believe that in just a few short years she'll be going to college and forever changing our lives. 

I need to remember to take the time to enjoy each and every moment as my girls grow up.  This song seemed so appropriate for the occasion:

Enjoy!





Have a blessed weekend!
