Twilight Moment

If you have ever seen the movie Twilight, you remember the scene when Edward picked Bella up for a date and her dad was cleaning his shotgun?

L prepared for her date ...

... even had her best friend's sister do her hair.

Don prepared, too!

Kaleb was a little nervous when he arrived. He even asked Don if one of the bullets had his name engraved on it! Don casually replied, "No, I don't want you to put your name on a bullet. It'll find you anyway."

Everyone calmed down and we sent them on their way after getting a few details about the evening and making sure they had a cell phone in the event of an emergency.

Feeling Like a Princess

Being a Princess has it's perks.

First, there was the Homecoming Dance with Jon.

Then there was the Sadie Hawkins Dance with Richard.

Next up, the Sweethearts Dance with Calvin.

Now it is Prom time. A couple weeks ago a young man named Kaleb dressed up like a knight and had Richard (see photo above) play a fanfare on the trombone while Kaleb announced, "Here ye, Here ye. Will you go to Prom with me?" Of course, she said yes! (She just found out the theme for Prom is "A Knight for a Princess" ... Kaleb had come up with his idea to ask her before the theme was announced.)

So, yesterday we spent about 3 hours shopping for a prom dress. OUCH!!

I didn't think to take a picture of the first dress she tried on, but here are her other dress selections.

She looked so beautiful in all of the dresses. As she tried them on, she kept saying, "I feel like a Princess!" Which is your favorite? Which one do you think L chose?

J1 decided to try on a couple dresses as well, just for fun. She also looked beautiful!

Don thought I should have tried on a dress or two as well ... maybe next time.

Daddy, these are megetables!

Okay, I admit it. I'm wrapped totally around those cute sticky fingers.
