Prom 2011

Well, Prom has come and gone. I forgot to post pictures so decided to get some put on the blog. These are just a few of the MANY that I took! Garrett and his junior classmates were in charge of this years Prom. I enjoyed helping decorate. Everything turned out beautiful! It was a lot of fun to help with! This years theme is "Together in the Twilight" 3.19.11 ~ This is Tyler's first prom! Big brother helps him out a little with his tux. The boys' look SO handsome!!! Garrett's date is his girlfriend Jessie.

Her dress was so pretty!

Tyler's date is his girlfriend Sidney.

Her dress was absolutely gorgeous!! And

she looked stunning!

Gma Cena, Pa Bud, Aunt Jenny and Gma Grace came to the

Grand March to see the boys.

They made the cutest couple!! :)

The boys' had an awesome time! The dance was

a lot of fun they said. It was great to watch them

having fun and making memories. These times are

going SO fast! I don't want to even think that next

year is Garrett's Senior Prom!! sniff, sniff..... But

for now, another school milestone is in the books!

Literally! I have the pics scrapbooked! :) Enjoy!

Over the Hill

Monday, March 14, 2011 ----- Happy Birthday Bernie!!
Bernie turns the Big 5-0!!! This morning he opened his
gifts from us.

Then later that evening I hosted a surprise party for him!

He about didn't make it to his own party!! I had to tell several

'lies' to pull it off, ha ha. He didn't think he could get off work

that early and didn't want to drive a second vehicle to town

but luckily he did and we were all there to yell "Surprise"

when he walked into the Windy Gap!! :)

He was a good sport and was really glad

to see everyone there.

Lighting 50 candles would have been a fire hazard! lol

He received some really fun cards and gag

gifts which he enjoyed! This is a blow up walker!

An Old fart tool belt!

And a potty night light!

Some of the boys' friends were able to join us in celebrating.

Friends Jerry and Dori Kennicutt and their boys' came

Monica, Justin & Shelby

Becky, Dad and Todd enjoying happy hour.

Carson and Jen

Tonya and Brad

Bernie's employers Steve and Susan and son Nick and his family

were able to join us too.

Mom, Dad, Grace, Aunt Frances and Uncle Louie made it too.

Bernie had a really great time seeing everyone and visiting!

Jen and Becky

Bernie had a great birthday!!! Look at all of the gifts and cards

he received!! He felt very loved and turning 50 wasn't quite so

painful!! Thanks to everyone who were able to join us and for

all of the bday wishes!! I think Bernie is very much feeling '50' and

I can't believe I'm married to such an old guy! LOL!!

February 2011

February has been busy for us. Starting off on Feb. 1st, I turned
39! I had a week long celebration, getting supper out twice, lunch
with friend Monica one day, lunch with my folks' and sister's Jen
and Becky another, bowling and lots of bday wishes at work and
the night of my bday at the basketball game! Whew! Turning 39
wasn't as bad as I thought it would be! Next year may be another
story tho.......


Valentine's Day~ the boys' got lots of goodies from us!


And, Bernie and I celebrated our 18th Anniversary!!! Wow!

I pulled up at work and followed a delivery guy up the

walk and into the school building. Little did I know that

these beautiful dozen red roses were MINE!!!! My sweet

husband never ceases to amaze me!! I was SOOOO surprised

as this was a first for him!! The boys' were even shocked! They

said "I didn't know Dad knew how to order flowers!" :) What a

guy!!!! I love him for many reasons and love that he thought

enough to surprise me! I don't know how he pulled it off but

it worked! We celebrated the weekend before with a movie and

supper at Whiskey Creek. And am still enjoying my Bday/Vtine/Anniversary

gift of a brand new RED washer and dryer!!!! My very first brand new

w/d set! After 18 years of marriage! Needless to say, doing laundry should

not be so much fun!

We also had Parent's Night for basketball. It's always a fun

night. We are sooooo proud of our boys'!! They've both had

a great season and we love cheering them on!!!

Last week we had a wonderful taste of Spring

Fever and enjoyed some grilling out and hanging

clothes out on the line! This week tho, it's back to

old man Winter! Brrrrr!

The boys' have Prom coming up in March. Garrett

is a Junior so we have to help with money donations,

decorating and staying up late to hand out prizes! Should

be a fun time! This will be Tyler's first prom! :)

Bernie has a BIG milestone coming up in March too!!

The Big 5-0!!! I think he's feeling it too, poor guy!!

Work is going well for me tho I am SOO ready for Summer

vacation! I feel like I'm behind on many 'to do's' and really

just need several days off in a row to accomplish them! With

working every day I easily get behind!

Hope this finds you all well. Check back in March!! :)
