Tara's Prom Weekend.....


Alright...alright....all the STRESS we put up with in getting this girl to look even more fantastic than she already does! Wow! Tiah, Calli and I decided we needed a little REFRESHEE before the project was done.

Calli did a super job giving Tara "smoky eyes"!!!!

Here she is with her make-up and hairdo for the Prom. Doesn't she look like a model?!!!

Tara felt like blowing kisses to her "subjects" as she was posing for pictures in the backyard.

Here is Justin and Tara during their photo op in the front yard.

Amy, Tara and Paige. What cuties!

Here is the happy couple...just about ready to get in the truck and head for the Prom at the Pendleton Elks Club.
It just seems like yesterday that we were putting up with Tara as a toddler! Whew! Where did all the time go?!!!
Anyway, we all had some great laughs and a wonderful time getting Tara ready for her big date. What fun!

Easter Sunday Funday!


It's Easter Sunday and the kiddies are ready to hunt Easter Eggs. I got them to pose (quickly by the way) for a pre-hunt photo! Left to right Beau, Megan, Taylor, Briley, Tara holding Raegan.

Megs found one in the tree. Wow, that bunny sure could jump high to hide that egg!

Briley trying to reach this "out of reach" egg. Tricky bunny!

Raegan found her very first Easter Egg. It matched her outfit, too!

Raegan checking out her eggs in her Easter Basket.

Look at all the stuff the Easter Bunny left Tara!

Not to be out done, Megs opens a plastic Easter egg to see what treat is inside.

Look at the stash that is beside Beau!

Taylor is happy with all the eggs he found.

Of course, Briley had to check out the Malted Easter eggs.

Calli is busy in the kitchen preparing our feast.

Ummmmmm, homemade pies! Can hardly wait for dessert time.

The ham was just perfect. Calli put a wonderful glaze on it.

We all ate our share of dinner rolls. It was such a fun Easter Sunday. Thanks, Calli and Sonny, for having everyone over to your home on such a special day.

Sunshine.....finally!


We had a wonderful weekend...sunny, warm & full of family! On Sunday we spent the afternoon at Tiah's. Here the kiddies are having fun with all the bubbles they were making in the breeze!
Go Megs!

Briley did a great job making lots of bubbles.

Look out....Beau is trying to get bubbles to land on you!

Calli and Raegan were having a great time hanging out in the sunshine.

What do ya think? Well, I think that Miss Raegan doesn't like her sunglasses...and they were sooooo cute!

She is smiling as she removes the obstacle from her head!

Pucker up baby!

Megan got creative with the chalk on the drive. Rainbows...how pretty!

Flower power! Way to go Tara!

On Saturday we journeyed over to Condon to watch Tara compete in her track meet. I had a photo op with Miss Megan and the Condon sign. You know, it took us soooo long to make it over to Condon....now I know why I don't go over there very often. Not much there!!!!

Condon Track...says it all!

Tara is taking off from the blocks. She was trying so hard, but it just wasn't her day.

She was pretty let down with her performance, but you know, there is always another week. Third Place isn't the end of the world. Now...on to next weekend.
