Junior Prom

Saturday Brianna went to her first Prom. Wow prom is a lot of work! I never realized! We had problems from the beginning, with ordering a dress online that never arrived! Also when plans keep changing and Brianna got so fed up she took charge of booking the party bus, that made it much more work! Remind me never to commit to using my credit card to book the bus! Waiting till the last minute to book the bus didn't help either and we probably called every place in orange county to find a bus to fit 40 people! Fortunately everything went smoothly in the end! 

The day of prom was fun though. We went and got her make-up done at the mall, by this fabulous guy!  We loved what he did thank goodness, and she didn't have to come home and wash it all off! 

All grown up! 

 Her date was her boyfriend Chase, yes I said boyfriend.

 I wished I was going to prom! 

 Some of her best friends

 Sam and Brianna

Half of their group. Half of them had dinner and this girl's house, which was much nicer than having to find a restaurant to fit them all! 

I guess they weren't too thrilled with the dance and don't know if they want to go next year! I am sure that will change in a year and when it's their last!

Field Trip!

James had his first "Real" field trip. They went on a bus to the Santa Ana Zoo! This was a popular field trip and all the room volunteers filled up before I could put my name down. So I was a little nervous him going on a bus without us! But we were able to meet him at the zoo and that way Jake was able to come too. We made it a family affair and Craig also joined us! 

James on the bus! He saw us waiting for him! 

When they first got there they sat to have snack.

 It was a fun day and I am glad we got to experience James' first field trip! 

Mommy's Day

For Mother's Day James' school has Mommy's Day. We met them in the church where they sung for us. It was so cute. I forgot my camera so I only had my phone, which didn't take very good pictures from that far away. :( Bad Mommy. 

 After the singing we went outside and played a bit. 

 This was up in the wall in his class. When I read it I was in shock d asked James, I make your clothes?? He said yes! Wow so impressive! This is one of my favorite things about pre-school. When they have to answer questions like that! And the cute little drawing of him and I. :) 

 This was the Mother's Day card he made me...

 With more fun answers inside! 

I didn't take a picture of it, but they also painted little heart boxes for us and put candy inside! It  was sad that it was my last Mommy's Day with James at school. Unless they do something in Kindergarten. 

I also don't have any pictures of Mother's day this year! Gosh I am getting lazy with pictures! We just had a really relaxing, mellow day. Just what I wanted to work in the garden, then we had dinner at my Mom's. Nice family day!
