Prom Night

   Jenna's Senior Prom was last Saturday night, April 24, 2010.  The boys went out of town fishing, so Jenna and I had a girls' day, starting with me giving her a pedicure (not an easy task when you're working with a moving target!).  At noon she had a hair appointment, then we rushed to a manicure appointment.  When we got home, Kelly came over with her bags of makeup and gave her a great makeover.  After dinner, we helped her into her dress and jewelry, and she looked beautiful!  I just got a new Canon Rebel XSi digital camera, so it was time for me to try it out! 

I was very pleased with how well the pictures turned out, and so was Jenna.  She liked them so much that she wants to pick one to send out with her graduation announcements, instead of the senior pictures she had taken last spring.  I think she felt like a princess!  She had a fun time at the prom, and will also be going to the Companionship Prom tomorrow night, but this time with a little less fanfare (no hair appt or professional manicure).

The Grandbunnies!

Are those some cute little bunnies?  Yes, indeed!  That's Keegan, Casey and Caleb, my new crop of grandbunnies!  Megan brought Casey over the mountains and through the snow (yes, snow!) to Gramma's house to spend his First Easter with his cousins.  And they were quite interested in him this time!
It is so cute to see the babies getting so curious about each other!
We had a great weekend, that included an Easter Egg Hunt at our neighbor Paul's house (the 5 acres behind us), 

and one in our front yard, just for Cooper.
  The only photos I got of Cooper are action shots because, like a typical two, he is always in action!  He would not pose with the other cousins, so we couldn't get a shot of all four.  He did have a great time at both egg hunts, and got lots of eggs filled with goodies.  In fact, he ate so much candy, he then threw it all up!  TMI?  But it is one of those memories we will want to laugh about someday.  Actually, we laughed about it this year!  That's what I love about our family.  We love to laugh!  We seem to be able to find humor in just about any situation, and it's great!  We played a game that Shauna and Noah brought over on Friday night and we all laughed until we were in tears.  It was so much fun! 

  On Saturday night, after all the egg hunting, we had a fiesta!  Dad made his famous chicken enchiladas (Yummo!) and carne asada and guacamole.  Delicious!

    On Sunday morning, Kirk, Jenna and I went to church, then joined the rest of the family at the Quarter Chute for brunch.  There were some cute little bunnies there!
