Dodgers eeked out a win for us!

Just a few cute shots from the Dodger game Monday night. It was just the five of us, and the kids did better than expected. We bought the tickets last minute, for just $15 a seat. Not the greatest section we've ever sat in, but that was fine considering who we brought with us! They are not spoiled with good seats yet!
Note to us: no more taking kids to Dodger games on school nights - we didn't get home until after midnight because of extra innings and Daddy's personal rule that forces him to stay 'til the end of any game, no matter who is tired, whiny, cranky, or whatever. Honestly, I like that rule - I think it's sad when people leave early! I don't want to hurt the players' feelings!

Sophie's prom

My sister Sophie (who just turned 18 May 3!) had her senior prom May 2 - she went with her very sweet, close friend Paul. She looked wonderful, and the color of her dress was just beautiful to me. Here are a few pics:

Here she is with Grandpa, at the end of his birthday party, as she's getting ready to leave for her prom.


and here she is with my sweet parents.

more from the party...

First two pics are of Grandma MV and HER tree that was planted on her 80th birthday - look how it's grown!

Grandpa's Party

For Grandpa's party, we had several games but one in particular was the dart game we named "Mutant Gene Pool Pop Darts" and the following pictures hung on a dartboard with balloons between them - each pic has a family member in some "circus freak" type of shot - some are good, some are just ok, and some are downright priceless..my favorites are Grandpa as Sasquatch and my dad Mike as the Leopard Man. I didn't make one for EVERYONE in the family (notice I left out myself - why make fun of oneself? - and Andrea and Amelia and Tyler - partly because I was forgetful, partly because I ran out of ink in my printer!) Enjoy!

Grandpa Myron's 80th birthday movie/quiz

The quiz and movie for my grandpa's 80th birthday - thanks to my grandma and my mom for help with the photos. (The first 8 minutes and 20 seconds are just the quiz questions, so if you don't want to partake in the multiple choice quiz, skip ahead to 8:20 to see the cutie pie pics of my handsome grandpa!)
