Is it possible that my Neice and nephews are old enough for PrOm?!? Crap, I feel old....but not as old as my Brother and Sister, you guys are seriously old to have children going to prom. (It's fantastic to be the little sister, love you guys)
So two weeks ago my Nephew, Taylor and his buddy got dressed up in the "Zoot suites" and headed to prom. This kid has the best personality, you seriously have to know him to understand how he could pull such a thing off.
Apparently his date had a good personality to go along with this. She looked beautiful.
My oldest Nephew, Michael, decided to ditch Prom this year, but somehow my Sister managed to get a photo of the two boys together. Aren't they a handsome pair?
Then this past weekend my Neice, Vanessa also went to prom. Her Nana made cookies in honor of the big event.
I did her hair. I think she liked it? It was suppose to look like a photo she saw of Taylor Swift.
Her and her boyfriend looked so cute together in their hot pink formal wear.
Maddy was loving this whole "Prom" thing, she absorbed the idea and got a fancy new dress, Aunt Roxanne did her hair and makeup and she painted her toes hot pink in honor of Nessa.
Aside from getting all dolled up, she also enjoyed the punch and yummy cookies from Nana Linda.
Went to a party at Michelle's house with Roxanne and bought way to much. Ate some yummy shrimp, avacado, mango salad....YUM...
I was dubbed the hair stylest for the day and did Vanessa's hair for prom. She found a photo of Taylor Swift in Peope Magazine and I attempted to copy it. She looked beautiful!
Got a phone call from a friends Mom who suggested she fly to Casa De Williams for her birthday in 3 weeks. I may need to start a count down!
Ryan and I went to dinner and a bar with a new group of friends. It was great conversation and much needed adult night out! Eric and Roxanne were able to joing us in between shuffling kids to and from prom.
This morning we slept in and then made a big breakfest. Afterwords, Kenna and I went to the grocery store and Ryan cleaned up. I planted some new flowers in the front yard. Ryan finished his term paper and his speech.
Tonight we're gonna hang out do Chili with Brayton and Gillian here at the house.
So I should have posted these sooner, but I just didn't! While in the hospital we took some pictures of my nephew, Michael, for the chicklings. I knew they wouldn't believe he was ok, if they didn't get a chance to see it with their own 8 eyes...
His surgery was in the town that Charles Schultz is from. So the hospital was decorated in "Peanuts" characters. So of course I made my other nephew, Taylor take a picture with the large Linoel statue outside.
Once we Michael got released from the hospital my parents, brother and I went to a quaint little pizzeria in a little wine town in Northern California. We ate in the living room of this house. Every room had restaurant seating and the food was amazing. The chef, Tony, could be seen in the open kitchen throwing the pizza dough up in the air!
We're 4 hours into our journey back home. Talk about a short trip with alot of driving.
Just left the hospital and arrived at our little hole in the wall hotel and it's 10pm....What a long day! I don't think I've EVER seen 4am before and I'm pretty sure I don't wanna see it again!
Surgery went really good. Michael was such a trooper and very brave... Going into the procedure his pulse was 47 beats per minute and now after having the pacemaker for only a few short hours his pulse is 80! Amazing! Thank-God for modern medicine and good doctors! He hasn't eaten since yesterday at midnight so he's dying for In-N-Out burger. His order is a cheeseburger and a strawberry shake.
A good end to a long stressful day.
As previously posted my nephew, Michael is having surgery today at 2:30 to have a pacemaker put in. My Sister and her family live 9 hours away in a tiny little town.
After much discussion and praying, I decided along with my Brother, Eric, to head up North to be there during the surgery. Our parents were already planning to make the trip, so 4:00am this morning my Dad picked us both up and we're on our way.
Currently we are in the middle of no where, all I can see is olive fields and the occasional cow on a empty sprawling pasture.
This should be interesting, since the four of us haven't been together without our spouses, probably since we moved out at the ages of 18....
I will fill you in after the surgery later today. Thanks for all the prayers and warm thoughts.
My family needs mass prayers and thoughts.
My Nephew, Michael's heart surgery didn't go as planned yesterday. While doing the scheduled procedure, the doctors discovered a birth defect in his heart.
The O.R. is now scheduled for him to undergo heart surgery to install a pacemaker tomorrow.
Sometimes WAITING is so miserable! We're WAITING to hear if my nephew, Michael, is out of heart surgery and if everything went ok.
Prayers and thought help.
My Brother, Roxanne and kids came over to color Easter Eggs on Saturday night....We ate some Chinese food and attempted to color the BROWN eggs that Ryan purchased. No comment on that one!
The kids had fun and shockingly they didn't dye themselves. We made it through the whole process with the spills.
Then Sunday morning the Easter bunny came!
After church we went over to Eric and Roxanne's house for Easter Dinner and Nana's annual Easter egg hunt. The chicklings could hardly contain themselves waiting for the hunt to begin. At one point this is how I found the girls waiting...
But before the HuNt could begin Nana, Vanessa and her boyfriend had the hide the eggs.
The the kids were off...
I also managed to squeeze in a great family picture.
