Senior Prom 2008 - An Evening in Paris (they wish!)

So, last night was Austin's senior prom. His date is a friend of Katie's that came into town a couple of days ago for the wedding. She didn't have a dress, so we went on a quest for the most modest and inexpensive formal we could find just 5 hours before prom. Meanwhile, Austin was washing the car, and anxiously waiting to find out what color the dress would be so that he could get a corsage for Kayleen. Well, we found a dress at Ross...it would do and the price was right. We rushed home so that Kayleen could get ready. It was already after 5pm and dinner reservations were for 7. Austin, of course, could be ready in 15 minutes. Girls, however, take A LOT longer!! I'm sure Austin thought it was worth the wait, though, because Kayleen looked gorgeous!

They went to Macaroni Grill for dinner and apparently got to color while they waited for their meal!! Can you tell which work of art is Austin's?



These were taken after "after-prom" at about 3:45am. They were supposed to stay until 5am and then go to breakfast, but they didn't have enough energy! I hear Jordan made it until 8am before he crashed!

Congrats Austin!! Now life really begins. WHat is he planning on doing now?
Love the bridal shower attire. I never got an outfit like that!
Easter pic- I love how the characteristics come out in each of the kids. Craig all lovey dovey as an engaged couples are. Austin all slouchy seems to be saying "come on mom! do we have to?" Christian all snuggled into the bunny with that go gettem attitude. And Sarah all girl- gorgeous, made up, sitting prim and posing. And is that facial hair on Bruce?? Civilian life;)
