Randon Picture from un-Prom

These are some of the random photos I took of Zach and his girlfriend Katelin - 

Super cute couple and very photogenic.

Sam and his date, Megan.  Yes Megan has been featured before on this blog - she was his Preference Date.

This was just a fun picture while I was trying to get them to think of ideas oh what they wanted in pictures.

These are the results of playing around while I was kneeling in the grass and using Picasa to edit picture.

Dinner was Dutch Oven Chicken with potatoes and carrots, salad, and french rolls.  We left the kids to have dinner and enjoy the evening while we ran home to set up the next activity of the evening.

Here are the fabulous four . . . while waiting for dinner to finish up they asked that I take some pictures of them around the park.  And I LOVED it! 

un-Prom Date Dinner

Oh my heck . . . I never thought the weather would warm up or that the wind would stop blowing!!  This has been one of the longest days of my life by far.  Everything came together and looks pretty darn good considering it was thrown together here and there and everywhere.

Just waiting for the kids to arrive now.

un-Prom Day Date

The first order of business was to set up the day date at Layton City Park - the boys had picked a nice spot along the water that gave them some space to hang out without being interrupted by everyone.

I packed a nice picnic lunch; some deli sandwiches with all the goodies, chips, cookies and drinks.  Once lunch was over they each received a text message that would send them on a savager hunt to find a basket of goodies.  The boys had wanted to spend the afternoon in the park so I made a basket with bubbles, kites, coloring books, bread to feed to the ducks and some other silly things to keep them busy.

The Start of the Very Merry un-Prom Date . . .

This morning started out with a B - A - N - G!!  These boys were so set on a Very Merry un-Prom date, however, neither of them had been eager to help with the planning or commit to a plan so I awoke to not only set up, prepare, cook and be the 'white rabbit', but also come up with the game plan.  It's a good thing I like these two.

First stop of the morning . . . Layton City Park.

The morning had started out looking pretty decent, however, by the time I arrived at the park it was SNOWING. 

Happy 16th Birthday, Albert!

Happy Easter

You have Been Egged . . . .

This morning Micah came into the bedroom to tell me that we had been 'egged' - OK so I have to be honesty when he said that I honestly thought what the Sam Heck has Sam done to get my house egged!!!!  

Little did I know when I walked out the front door that I would see a sight I had seen recently on the blog I had been told about by my friend . . . And I LOVED IT so I had planned to get a few neighbors myself. http://eighteen25.blogspot.com/2010/03/youve-been-egged-free-download.html

As I was saying before I saw something shiny . . . it was such a wonderful surprise and there was an extra special treat inside that was personalized for each member in the house.  There were five eggs; one with an A, G, S, M and T with messages as to how our secret egg-er described us.    I LOVE IT and I LOVED KNOWING that someone was thinking of us and it made for a great surprise after having a horrible week where nothing seemed to go right.  So thank you secret egg-er.

Sam's Bedroom Build

We have started yet another room in our basement - this room however has been requested NOT to be completed per Sam.  He wants to have that unfinished industrial look - I think it is so he doesn't have to worry about keeping it as clean.  Thanks to his buddy Zach we were able to get the framing and drywall up.
