Valentine Cupcakes for my babies

Here are the "before" and "after" of my day of baking for my children. I love to bake and cook and decided, although early, it was time to break out the goodies and surprise them after school.

Cody's Graduation

One of the proudest moments thus far in my life...was Saturday, May 30th. My oldest son graduated High School. Such a happy, yet sad time. A moment of .....letting go. Which as most of you know, is a very hard thing for me to do.

Cody graduated from Conroe High School on Saturday at 3:00 p.m. in a class of 658 students.

After graduation, we had his graduation dinner at McKenzies BBQ in Conroe, where his grandparents came from both sides and lots of other friends and family.

Cody received money and a laptop with printer for gifts. He was so thankful to everyone.

He will leave in the Fall to move to College Station where he will attend Blinn College for his associates degree, then transfer to Texas A & M.

Keeli & Chase - Prom 2009

Keeli went with Chase Parmelly to his Junior prom this year. Three other boys had asked her to go, and her daddy said "NO". However, this young man asked, and he said "yes". Go figure! Still haven't figured out why.

Anyway, Keeli was excited to go. She wore a beautiful, long, deep blue dress with lots of shimmer! She looked so beautiful. On her way out the door, of course, her dad almost had a heart attack.

Prom was at the Marriott in the Woodlands. They went to dinner prior at PF Chang.

Cody's Senior Prom 2009

Wow!! Cody's Senior Prom!! I can not believe it's here!! He graduates from high school in just 2 short weeks. I am so proud of him!!

For Senior Prom, Cody's date is one of the sweetest girls I know and one that I love so so much! She has been a part of our family since she was in 5th grade....Miss Taylor Yancey.

The night started with getting ready at Sherri Barnetts, with Kameron and Clint. The black limo, picked them up at 6:00, then headed over to the Sharps, to pick up the girls. Taylor Sharp was Kamerons date. Of course, when we showed up the girls were not ready, but soon walked down the stairs to take all of our breath away. They looked so beautiful!!!

They then headed over to pick up Clint's date and the over to Bentwater Yacht club to take photos.

After many snap shots, they headed to Margaritas for dinner, then off to Prom.

After Prom, the all headed over to hang at the Barnetts to hang in the hot tub!! Fun Fun!!!

Way to go Cody.....We are all so very proud of you!!!! SENIOR 09!!!

My Mothers Day

This mother’s day was one of the best I have had.

Friday evening, me, Johnnie and the boys headed to Fredericksburg to fill up Johnnie’s feeder pens at the deer camp. We arrived around midnight. Got up early Saturday morning and took care of business there. Left and headed for Bastrop Texas to the beautiful "Lost Pines Resort".

We arrived there around noon. Ate lunch and Triston was just in time for a game of kickball. We sat around and watched him play then headed over to the Rambling River. The boys played in the river and the slide while we waited for our room to come available.

I have posted only a few "sketchy" photos that were taken with my camera phone, because like always...I forget something...my camera at home.

We spent Saturday and Sunday floating the Rambling River and relaxing. This resort is absolutely beautiful. A great place for family. We normally go to the Hyatt Hill Country Resort or LaCantera in San Antonio, but decided to "try out" Lost Pines. So serene and tranquil.

I loved it. I have the best husband and children and consider myself so blessed!
