Our last high school dance, prom, ball

8 high school proms/balls and many dances later this was our last.  For all the proms/balls and dances we searched out bargain dresses. Learning how to find dresses for under $50 was easy.  Sharing many of those dresses with others in need of one was easy too. Having a relative work at The Men's Wharehouse made it for our son too. But, when it came to the girls final dance we let them pick out the dress of their dreams.  They felt like princesses and enjoyed every minute of the experience!  Bitter sweet of mom but I am so proud of all three of my kids.

Birthdays, Adoptions and Graduations!

This is quite the year in our household.  My beautiful daughter Cheyenne turned 19 yesterday.  She is the baby of the family.  She likes to talk and be in the water.  She is an avid water polo player and is working towards finding a college to play at.  We are so proud of her accomplishments.

Our two daughter were adopted and moved into our home 15 years ago.  The adoption took 2 years to finalize.  God certainly blessed our family with Kestrel and Cheyenne.  They are both seniors this year.  Cheyenne will graduate from high school and Kestrel from college.  We are so proud of them both.

 Kestrel and Cheyenne both have different personalities but have a special sister bond.  I love there energy and silly ways. This photo shoot was done by Stephen Woo Photography.  They had so much fun expressing themselves.

I

I am not a professional photographer by any means but I love to take pictures of family and friends as a hobby.  This is my daughter in-law's cousin.  I wasn't pleased with my work on these as I have done better.  I think she needs a re-shoot :)  I have not done any photo shop actions on them yet, we will see if that improves them.

Diva Apron

I made this apron for my daughter in-law for Christmas.  It is fully reversible.  I am ready to make more!!  I didn't intend it to be fully reversible but the material was too cute so I modified it to be reversible.
