Homecoming 2010 was a fun time! Shae was one of the Senior class princesses along with Rachel, Maeghan and Sarah.
In true Maeghan/Shae form, while the pre-event "princess" pictures were being taken (boys were playing the basketball game) they managed to get their crowns tangled up in each other's hair!
Fun Girls
Here are the pictures of each couple as they walked to the stage. This part was so strange for me because it seems like I was just sitting in the stands with my little 6th grade Shae-Shae watching the children of my friends walk onto the stage thinking how weird is must be to have a high school aged child!
Jon and Maeghan
David and Sarah (Sarah ended up being the Queen)
(Jon and David are twins...Shae and the boys met in the church nursery as babies!!! Goooood boys!)
Andrew and Rachel (Andrew ended up being the King!)
Daniel and Shae
As each couple walked toward the stage one of their teachers read their GPA, a list of activities they have been involved in along with their college plans and favorite Bible verse. THAT part got me! Oh my, to hear it read in front of everyone that my daughter is planning on going to Liberty University in VIRGINIA made it so REAL! How will I get along without her?!

Maeghan, Shae and their Dads.
Every weekend Shae is either at Maeghan's house, or Maeghan is at our house. I.Love.That.
Shae with her Grandma's BFF, Carolyn and Anna's BFF, Chloe (Carolyn's granddaughter)
Yep...we brought the whole family! Lindsay was up until midnight that night! Brad was able to come after work but Beckie couldn't find a babysitter so she wasn't able to make it.
Shae has made us so proud. What a great young woman she has become. My prayer is that she will continue to make right choices and follow God's will for her life. She has a tender heart and we are so excited for her future. She plans to study Education, teaching special ed. or working with visually impaired children! (which should come easily since she has had so much experience right at home with both!)
(I will do another post with more pictures either later today or tomorrow...maybe if you leave comments the next post will come sooner!! heehee)
She will always be our princess!

As for ME... I am {once again} embarking on a fitness and healthy eating regime! I will be spinning at 8:15am followed by a workout with my personal trainer tomorrow. Be gentle, Sharon!

Shae and I have been busy thinking of ways to earn $$$ for her upcoming senior trip, so we are giving these a try. We can also make them for birthdays and baby showers or any other occasion you may like one for !
Scott does NOT share my love affair with Ikea.
I love the bedroom set-ups! Isn't this one precious?! I am getting ready to re-do my bedroom in white, so this one really made me anxious to get started on my room makeover. On this trip we bought Anna a bed (headboard with footboard for $87!!!)
Keeping with the random tone of this post, here is a picture of my nephew Gavin's room with his little Christmas tree. Beckie is not afraid of painting like I am. I LOVE all the different colors she has in her house.
Lindsay loves her counting bears, but she always wondered why there were no orange ones. Our dear friend (and babysitter) Shannon teaches at a pre-school and found some orange bears in a catalog. She ordered them and gave them to Lindsay for Christmas. How fun is that?!
Lindsay has lots of new "countable" toys. I have been cleaning out closets and organizing toys this week so I rotated some of her favorite things out so she can play with the new stuff for a while. This makes "old" toys seem fun and new again when you rotate them back in.
Here are a couple gifts we received for Christmas that I thought were so cute! Good gift ideas, too.
I got the girls umbrellas with their monogram on them! Target had these nice "Totes" umbrellas that have a button to put it up and take it down!!(they are on sale now!) Shae's is zebra and I also got houndstooth and plain black. The embroidery was done here in Redding at Dan's Trim Shop. (I have been there ALOT!)
My sister-in-law, Laurie ALWAYS finds the cutest things. Her gifts are just about always my favorite! She is one of those people who can get something at the Dollar Store and you just LOVE it! She is extremely creative and wraps things so beautifully!
Laurie always comes for Christmas, and we LOVE it when she is here! I hate that we don't live closer. She is the closest thing I have to a sibling. She lived here when I had Shae, she even came in the delivery room with me and stayed to watch her first niece be born! She was with me when I had Anna too, but Dottie came in with us when Lindsay was born because Laurie was teaching in Korea then.
