Gavin's Jr. Prom

Gavin went to his Jr. Prom this weekend. He is so handsome in his tux. I can't believe how when one of my boys puts on a tux it just automatically makes him look older and more mature. So, so handsome. I love going with my boys and helping them pick out their tuxes. I'm glad they still need me for some things. I definitely need them more than they need me.

Gavin's date was Kaylyn Eliason. Gavin has known Kaylyn since he was about 3 years old. She has been to several birthday parties, attended pre-school and been in our car pools with Gavin. She is such a beautiful and sweet girl.

Gavin had a great time. I think it turned out better than he thought it would. It is so fun to watch him grow up. I'm so proud of him.

Out with 2011 and in with 2012

2011 went by fast. My boys grew up tremendously. Literally and figuratively. Gavin and Loren are now taller than me and Taren, their older brother. We have all grown as a family. Trying to figure everything out with, Jr. high, high school, college, and mom working. We all have to keep this house running and our family close. In fact, that is my goal for 2012, to get this family closer and to keep them close.
