Caitlin's Junior Prom

Caitlin attended her Junior Prom tonight and she looks so beautiful!!!  We purchased her dress about 2 months ago and have been counting down the days til she got to wear it!! =]
Her date's name is Joe Bridgeman. He's a great young man and he asked her in the sweetest way.... They were playing the game 'battleship' and he used the misses to spell out p.r.o.m. on the screen. hahaha. Cute! 
Caitlin said they had a really good time and even talked about cool plans for next year.

Mia lost her first tooth...


Mia has been complaining that her tooth has been loose for several weeks now and it was hanging on by mere nothingness tonight!!  Gavin got a tissue to dry it off to check it out for her and it just fell right out.  She jumped and cried just a bit, but it was more relief than anything! lol  She had been worried that it was going to hurt when it decided to fall out. Look at how excited she was to have it in her hand! =]
The tooth fairy gladly left her some cash for her trouble! How fun!!

Holy Hail Balls, Batman....

Look at the size of the hail that fell in our yard tonight!  Unfortunately, our roof and cars took a few blows.  =[  I guess that's why we have insurance.... so we'll have to give them a call tomorrow. =]

Mommy got some girl time this weekend at her Mary Kay Career Conference in Columbus, OH. I love hanging with my girls and hearing all the cool things that Mary Kay has coming out!! =]

Caitlin in Show Choir...

We are so proud of Caitlin!! She is in the Debuteens & Music Men Show Choir at CNHS.  This is a special travel choir and their performances are so cool to watch.  This years theme is a USO show!  I loved it!!
These pics were taken at a Competition in Indianapolis where the group took first place or Grand Champion!!  I guess they hadn't done this in quite some time so there is alot of rejoicing going on!!  Again, so proud of them all! =]
