A wee little Homecoming PRINCESS!

Cayden and Mya made it here with their Mommy on Thursday night!

Meme always has some treats...

It's my treat to get to see them!

We headed over to Beckie's to go to Western Reserve HS for

the Homecoming Spirit Assembly!

Molly was asked to be the 

Homecoming Princess!

Cayden escorted her into the school office!

While we wait for the gym to be decorated

the cousins sit together!

Molly is especially happy to see little Mya~ she

was also wishing her little Layla could be here too!

Beckie fixed Molly's hair so pretty!

Molly was so excited!

The head cheerleader took her around and showed her just what 

she would have to do with her "Prince"!

"Stop here for a photo", she told Molly.

I think my Princess was a little nervous!

We got some pretty good seats before the students

all came in!

Mommy took this picture of her Princess checking out

the Prince Austin!

The court is announced and finally they call

the Homecoming Prince and Princess

Austin and Molly

All smiles now!

Seriously, one of the cutest things I have ever seen.

They sit right in front of the King and Queen~

Sarah is very proud of Molly!

Cayden is too!

Mommy and her Princess~

HERE~

A red convertible with her name on the side!

The parade starts... and right before the King and Queen

comes the car with the Prince and Princess

Austin and Molly!

ADORABLE

Here's our Molly!  She is a Daddy's girl for sure!  Is this what she really thinks of

riding in cars with BOYS?

I love her!

"Great job Molly"

Here's an upcoming Princess ...

Holding hands~

Watching the homecoming football game together!

Papa teaching Cayden a few things about football!

So proud of my little Molly Carolyn, 

the Princess!

"Yeepover"

I am pretty sure that I might be the only one

who still calls a sleepover a "Yeepover"!

Sarah and Molly were here on Monday and decided to 

prepare the kids room for the big weekend~

They raided the closet and found a box of old, old treasures

and began to "decorate" their beds!

That blue thing there is Dave's boyscout banner from

about 40 years ago!

They found the crib bumpers, Bella's pad for her crate, blankets, hats 

and

Tegan's huge gorilla from Murts camp's truck stop!

Who remembers this guy?

I remember he was nearly as big as Tegan when we brought him

home!  Does anyone know his name?

Gearing up for the big yeepover weekend!

We even have plans to see a real one of these at the ZOO!

It's about to be a WRAP~

I traveled so much this summer that I missed days

where there were actually bodies, little ones, in my pool.

It's looked empty to me most days since everyone is so far away!

Big weekend coming up...

Bri will be here with Cayden and Mya~

We will also have Sarah and Molly while their parents have 

a weekend away!

My garden colors are fading as we enter fall~

Our streets center circle has grown wildly~ 

no homeowners association anymore. 

 It was really looking bad, so a couple of us neighbors

got together and decided ENOUGH.  We asked a neighbor who owns a 

landscaping company to give us a clean up, replant estimate and we

set out asking others on the street to pick in and share the cost.

We got about 7 to do so!

Work began...

I came home one afternoon and found the center cleared

completely out!

The Douglas Fir planted in the center~

River rock being spread...

Plants planted and mulch laid~

You can even see my house thru the trees now!

From this ...

to this...

Thanks to everyone who chipped in for this project!

Don't you just love the people in your neighborhood?

Lost in my own little world...

It was a teacher work day for Sarah and Molly today

so I got to spend the day with my girls while Beckie 

ran some errands.  I was busy doing Music In Motion 

so the girls joined me at school and then I took

them to the rec center playground for some fun!

My Sarah is getting so camera shy...

See the face that says...

Stop It Meme!

 I explained that I just love taking pictures for her

because I just love her so much!!

Molly on the other hand is happy to oblige...

These girls...

No one at my school could believe how big they

have both grown!

Last Wednesday, Dave, Dennis, Meig and I took a limo

to the Jason Mraz concert at Blossom~

What a fun night it was...

Meig and I ran into this adorable Justin Beiber look alike~ Zach.

How cute is this kid?  He was in line in front of us to 

buy a shirt and we, well, I struck up a conversation with 

him about his hair!  He was Mr. Personality!  I snapped the picture

of him with Meigan to trick Sarah and Molly~

Girls... Did you believe Meme really saw Justin Beiber?

Tegan called me as we were walking back to the guys

and I might have had a little too much wine in the limo ~ two glasses~

because after a few minutes, I totally stopped dead in my tracks and hollered, 

totally panicked

to Meigan...

WHERE'S MY PHONE?  I THINK I LEFT IT ON THE COUNTER...

Meig, who is ever so patient with me, said...

"YOU ARE ON IT"

What an idiot!

Won't even tell you what Tegan said on the other end of the phone!

Danny

Danny is living his dream in Colorado~
This Jason Mraz song, 93 Million Miles, just makes me think of him when I hear it~
and I wanted him to always know we are here for him...

Isn't it so hard when kids grow up and move away?

I miss all my Colorado family, Danny, Kayla, Tegan, Kelley... AND that most precious little Ladybug of mine, Layla Lynn.

You can always come back home!

I love this...

I love when my kids post on their blogs~  like this post
