PROM 2015

Tonight, Jamison escorted his friend, Emily, to their junior Prom.

 Chad bought a new truck this week, and he allowed Jamison to take it to Prom tonight!

He texted me while I was taking the kids' pictures, "Tell Jay that he looks good driving my truck, but not so good that he can keep it."  Ha!

 I adore this tall son of mine.  I am so proud of the man he is becoming.

He and Emily, along with 2 other couples, allowed us to hang with them and take lots of photos this afternoon.  It was so fun!

 Evan, Joey, and Jay - team mates and friends

 Emily looked stunning.

She even sounded beautiful, since her gown flowed and swished perfectly when she walked!

 Sierra adores him.

She posted this photo in Instagram with the caption, "Sometimes heroes wear tuxedos."

She may or may not have cried big crocodile tears on the drive home thinking about next year being his last under our roof.  I am so thankful for the relationship they have.

 Emily, Jamison, Maya, and Evan

These four spend a lot of time hanging out - but rarely at our house.  While Jamison talks about them often, it was fun for me to get to know them a bit!

 I have never, ever been allowed to take so many photos!

The kids were so fun, and patient, and kind!

 These are by FAR my favorites!

Jamison, Joey, and Evan have been fast friends all through High School.  They train together for both Cross Country and Track, daily, all year long.  They are fun, adventurous, and love to laugh.

Above they are discussing just how they want the jump photo sequence to go.  They look serious, but they were hilarious!

 The rest of the girls did not think jumping was a good idea, but Emily was up for the challenge.

(It was at this point in the afternoon that I knew for certain that Jamison chose his date very wisely!  Fun and gorgeous is pretty hard to beat!)

How cute are they?

After pictures they were going to have supper at Maya's home.

Then they were heading to Grand March and the dance.

Sierra and I went to Grand March.  During Grand March the kids are instructed to pause at two different spots so the crowd can see the dressed.  One tradition the kids have created is to strike a pose at those spots.  They think creatively, which makes a long march a bit more entertaining for the audience. At the second spot, Jamison and Emily decided to snap a quick selfie.

After the dance, they headed to the school sponsored After Prom Party.

Then to Emily's house for breakfast.
Jamison arrived at home just before noon.

I am so thankful for a fun afternoon,

Wise, well-behaved kids.

A safe plan for the night.

Parent involvement.

Pictures!

And laughter!
