This will be the last 2011 blog post. As I reflect on the year- I wouldn't change anything. I am one very blessed person. I have a wonderful/supportive husband and two great boys. We have wonderful parents and friends. Roger and I are both blessed to have good jobs. Life is Good. I hope 2012 is just as good.

HOMECOMING 2011

Well my pictures loaded wrong...so we will work our way back.
We had homecoming on Friday night. Jacob was an escort and looked mighty fine in his tux! It's more about the girls and the dresses, but you know I had to take a ton of pictures of my handsome guy. Homecoming was very nice.
My three favorite guys!!!!

Jacob and the freshman maid that he escorted.

The homecoming court.

The jr boys played basketball. Jacob's game was right before the homecoming ceremony. We had a big lead, so coach let him leave the game about 3 minutes early-- he had about 10 minutes to change and get his tux on...they were waiting on him....nice, stressful night~ all was good and very nice.

Random...

I can not believe this is the last day of October! So I thought I would post some random pictures of what we have been doing.
