Senior Year!

Wow it seems like a long time. Really it HAS been over a month but this has been
one.
crazy.
month!

"Schools out! Yay!"

Most years this is what we are saying but this year I was trying NOT to say it so soon. Ian's Senior Year. Oh and his 18th birthday. Yea. so I've put together some pictures of his Senior Year ending with his graduation. In a few days I'll add his graduation party pictures and this 18th birthday pictures. After that if you need me you may find me in a padded cell wrapped in a beautiful white straight jacket.

Until then...enjoy the pictures.

Prom ~ "A Black Tie Affair"

I made such a huge deal out of this with family and friends. They gave out BEER MUGS AND CHAMPAGNE GLASSES to Seniors for Prom. Really? REALLY!! I thought it was crazy and then I looked in MY Prom box and I had gotten a champagne glass. Crazy.

Don't walk behind me, I may not lead.
Walk beside me and be my friend."
