prom [pruhm]

short for promenade, is used to describe a formal dance held at the end of an academic year

(I know I did "prom" like 2 years ago but this one's really appropo!)

Too cute! Tin's going to prom tonight. I know, seriously, I can hardly believe it. It's pretty hilarious because my sister's graduating from high school in a week and this is LITERALLY the only school dance she's attending. haha! Too cool for all the other winter formals and casual dress dances, huh Tin? haha! Aaaw, it's ok. She looks so pretty tonight! I did her hair and make-up, thanks very much! Took forever cuz she has SO MUCH HAIR! Hope all that hairspray keeps the curls alive! The make-up was relatively minimal because, first of all, I'm not Bev or Leia so I didn't dare put on more than I was capable of taking responsibility for. And second of all, Tin doesn't wear make-up regularly and she didn't want to look completely unlike herself. It's nice, though, what a little eye shadow, eye liner, blush, lip gloss and mascara can do to highlight the face!

So do you love the cheesy customary poses or what?

Western Conference Finals -

here we come!!!

I'm so sorry for your loss...

Ever present God,
you are with us in experiences
of absence and presence.
Through times of darkness and doubt
deepen our faith in you.
In moments and days of conviction and light,
draw us closer to you.
Embrace us with your love
and grant us your gift of peace,
comfort and healing.
Amen.

Happy Birthday, Cheryl!

Parking Lot Elevator at the Westin LAX:

Apparently elevators can go left too! That's so cool! This is the second time I've seen something like this, and it always cracks me up.

From Ate Cyn...Thanks for the morning laugh!!

World's Shortest Fairytale

Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl, 'Will you marry me?' The girl said: 'NO!'

And the girl lived happily ever after and went shopping, dancing, camping, drank martinis, always had a clean house, never had to cook, did whatever the hell she wanted, never argued, didn't get fat, traveled more, had many lovers, didn't save money, and had all the hot water to herself.

She went to the theater, never watched sports, never wore friggin' lacy lingerie that went up her ass, had high self esteem, never cried or yelled, felt and looked fabulous in sweat pants and was pleasant all the time.

The End

HAHAHAHAHA!!!

KB24 MVP!!!

FINALLY!!!

I love kids!!!

These are my cute little nephews:

Dillon

and

Toby

Born only a month apart from each other, they were baptized together this past Sunday. Their dads are brothers, so celebrating this most wonderful day together was a wonderful and unique blessing.

So young and already they are showing personality. Dillon is very calm, likes to observe and is constantly engaged in everything and everyone around him. Toby is relatively calm too...but hyper when he wants to be. Oh the workout I got watching him; and he can't even stand or walk yet. I just held him under the arms and he jumped up and down like the couch was a trampoline. WORE ME OUT!

Can't wait for our family reunion in Vegas!!!

***And speaking of nephews...It's Kelsoe's birthday today so Happy 5th Birthday, Kelsoe!! I hope you're being good and I pray that we'll get to see you soon somehow. Miss you!!
