8th Grade Dance Continued

One of the teachers who took pictures was nice enough to share. So, I thought I would share a couple pictures of the kiddos dancing. Yes, they are line dancing...I guess it is cool again. Not cool enough for me to join in...but they all had so much fun! The little girl in the first picture on the far right (black dress with white vertical beading) is Katie. She was responsible for going to the administration and convincing them to give this dance a try. I had her last year and was glad to have a little Katie of my own.

A Couple More

Here is a pic of the family. Not a great picture...but it is a rarity! After this picture Mommy realized that she needs to kick her diet and exercise goals into high gear! For those who saw the goals...just imagine them in a more pronounced area of the fridge. Like covering the freezer (ice cream and such), covering the dairy drawer (cheese...yummy), and all over the teacher's lounge. Those teachers LOVE their junk food!

Mommy likes this pic and forgot to add it below.

Baptism Fun

We had a little gathering at our house after the church service. Here are some fun pics.

This is me and my cousins, Austin, Dani, Anna and Jack.



And, here I am communicating my frustrations with Nana, Anna and Dani.

Here are Anna and Dani.

And, here I am with Aunt Vickie, Austin and Jack.

This is my Uncle Jeff. And, no he is not giving me beer. This bottle was empty, but the ridges on the top feel so good on my gums. Just to clarify...there was no beer consumed by any minors at this party!

Kaitlyn Faith was Baptised

Here is Katie's yummy cake!
Kaitlyn was an absolute doll during her baptism. Rev. Hume took her out to introduce her to the congregation and she was such a ham! She was basically captivating her "audience" and was a perfect angel. Her bottle was waiting and she knew that once her "performance" was over that she would be greatly rewarded.

Here she is with the beautiful blanket that Grandma Greiner had made for her. It is so pretty!

Here is Ms. Katie with her Godmother (and aunt) Vickie.

And, here are Katie and Matt, her Godfather!

Eighth Grade Dance!

Scott and I had the wonderful pleasure to chaperone the 8th grade dance on Friday night at Johnston M. S. I wish that I had some pictures...but I didn't take my camera...my job was to chaperone, not have fun taking pictures. But, it was a lot of fun and the students were so wonderful and thankful. JMS has not allowed the students to have dances for over 10 years. Isn't that crazy? Well, they showed us that they all deserve another chance. It's great to see our students in a different light and interacting with eachother. It reminded me of our 8th grade dance. I tried to track down a picture...but I think they must be in a box in the garage or attic. But it also reminded me that it has been A LONG time since our 8th grade dance and we are OLD! Well, it made me feel old...I don't think we are that old...yet! But it was fun and I thought I would share. JMS gets a bad rap sometimes (I am not sure why...it has some of the best teachers in Houston and the students are so smart and talented) and the students certainly deserve tons of respect after Friday!

Bath Time!

Here is yet another post about how much I LOVE bath time! Ok, Mom, they get it! But, Mommy just couldn't resist how happy I am when I spend like 45 minutes in the tub.

Lights, Camera, Action!

Katie's cousin, Anna, debuted in her first school performance. She was a sheep (lamb, maybe) in a Noah's Arc show. Isn't she cute!


Here is Noah...as wonderful as he is...he scared the animal right out of some of his performers!
