McKayle's First Prom

Early Novemeber McKayle went to his first prom.  Since I am on the School Board, I get invited also. It's always fun to go and see the kids I know so well.  Suprisingly enough, McKayle didn't mind me being there with him.  Rylee and Reggie were my dates.  Here are some pics.

His date's name is Jordan, she is just a friend. They are in the band together.

They had a blast dancing.  I tried to get Rylee and Reggie to dance, but they weren't having it.

This one cracks me up.  Just like Rylee.....sneaky!!!

They got me flowers....aren't they beautiful???

It was my witching hour...11pm is LATE to us old folk...lol

Halloween Trip

We embarked on our (now) annual trip to Carribean Cove in Indianapolis. It was quite the eye-opener for me. It's funny how events take place to put life into perspective.

We started out going to the Indianapolis Children's Museum. I hadn't been in a few years...my how things have changed. The older boys went out on their own...we found them on the floor playing with musical instruments with employees of the museum.

Not only was it a music lesson, but the brainiacs of the group (Brevin and Keagan) made it all about science.  I enjoyed listening to them talk and interact with the little boys.  The employees were quite impressed with their knowledge and interest in music. 

Next, we headed to the hotel.  After a fun-filled day at the museum, everyone was hungry.  However, that didn't stop them from swimming a bit first.  While I ordered the pizza, they checked out the waterpark.  After dinner I was able to get some pics. 

We were only able to stay one night this year. Trust me, it was a blessing in disguise.  I have full faith that next year will be more fun.  I think we may be going somewhere else, but the Halloween trip tradition will be carried on.  We do have a family vacation in April...we are going to Chicago.  But before that, Reggie and I are taking a trip to Las Vegas to get to know each other again.  Keep you posted...for sure.

A year in review...

Well, I can't believe it has been nearly a full year since I posted last. I could say I've been too busy...but that's a lie. I'm on this machine all day long. I look at blogs all day, I comment on them!!! I just haven't taken the time to update my own...I think I have my reasons, but they aren't good enough. (will explain a bit later)

I've taken lots of pictures this year...we got a new camera. Pictures will be posted soon. We just had prom, and our Annual Halloween trip...

In general, the year has been a roller coaster. But as the year closes, I think we are pulling it together. I've taken some time to give our page a "face-lift" just as we are doing to our lives. I hope to write more often.
