Prom '12

SHS Prom

"Time of Our Lives"

 Braedon picked up Madison Friday morning for their "day date" that included 10 other friends, brunch and a scavenger hunt at the new City Creek downtown.

So fun.

 

They got changed and the boys picked up their dates and all met back at Braedon's for a photo op - (or two!) before dinner.

 I don't know if it's just Tooele County, or small Utah towns in general, but they have a fun tradition called "Promenade."

The kids learn a dance over a few months and as long as either the boy or the girl is a Junior they are invited to dance at Promenade.

Prom was at the State Capitol and all parents and friends are invited to go watch.

They introduce each couple as they come down the stairs...

They dance.

They celebrate.

And they pose.

Perfect.

What a fun, fun night!

The theme couldn't have been better. :)

spring break - santa cruz style

 

Let's see...

Spring Break.

Fun.

Friends.

Santa Cruz. 

 We headed south to Monterey...

Bubba Gumps.

Monterey Bay Aquarium.

Ghiradelli's.  

YUM.

 Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk.

Memories.

The kids relived all the fun they have had there.

And we added some new memories!

 We added Mini Golf to our agenda and had a blast!!

BJK hit a hole in one on the 18th hole and won...

wait for it...

a free Mini Golf Game.

He wasn't thrilled, because we live way too far away.

 Such a great time.

We loved every minute.

Especially those minutes spent with amazing friends

(of course, we didn't take ANY pictures with them, ugh.)

 

It was definitely a great spring break.

We loved being among friends and catching up with them all!

Happy Spring Break!!

So. Excited.

He is so thrilled and has read the Wolf book cover to cover.

Can't believe it's been 8 lucky years since our little leprechaun made his first appearance!

Happy Birthday, BJK!
