St Patrick's Day

I saw Chris for the first time 3 years ago. I saw him at a single adult conference and I was intrigued when I first saw him because he was tall. I didn't get to actually meet him until the next day. So Chris brought to work all this St. Patrick's day stuff. This is a big frog balloon because he told me to meet him by the frog's on our first hanging out with his parents...so we give frogs back and forth to each other...it just is our animal so to speak. He also brought treats for everyone and green for me to wear so I wouldn't get pinched. I wore the green neclaces and button. I also received an Irish Princess crown. I didn't wear it until I got home then Ari borrowed it to wear to school. Thanks again sweetie for making me feel so special. I love you with all my heart!!!!








Shasta Lake Fun

We wanted to check out all the talk going on at the lake but we didn't take the patio boat....why? Only had a half hour before piano lessons...our life is just to busy.... here we are eating cookies and feeding the ducks...well Cassidy feed the ducks...no one else was willing to share with the ducks...













Shasta lake

Just some interesting things going on with our beautiful lake.
Wish I could show you had bad shasta Lake was before this. This was right before we received tons of rain. Many places were lacking water so they took from our beautiful lake but the rain has come recently and the lake looks way better. These are some pictures taken on the 11th of March.
This first picture shows the boat ramp you can't use. This is the higher one. The lower one is ok but people were having to drive on the dirt at one point.

The tree line of where the water should be. Keep in mind this isn't when it was at it's worse...





Ari's concert

These are horrible pictures but wanted you all to know ari had a concert using her guitar. She did a great job. Not sure she is going to keep going with guitar but she had a fun class and really enjoyed it. She is still doing piano and karate. She is a busy girl.




A helpful hand

I was going through all my new pictures and I just had to put this picture in here. Right before Alec went to ask Lindsey to the prom. Cassidy helped him with his bow tie...it's just one of those moments when you see your kids help each other out....it's just special.

The cute couple before their date.

This is Lindsey, her mom sent me this picture because I didn't get a chance to get a picture of them together when he was there. Us mom's have to work together.


First Date

Who is your eternal companion????





Really he just went to the movies but he asked her to prom right before their date. He went to her house early so he could ask her to prom. This is him right before he ask her. I love the first picture it was totally by accident and it could be a perfect picture for the YW in my above caption because it doesn't show his face and it shows a clean cut boy who is wearing a suit...who is bringing flowers...awwww!
They went to the movie Push and hung out as a group. Alec had a great time and so did his date. Next for Alec is prom April 10th.
