TREVOR TURNS 18!!!



On October 30th Trevor finally turned 18. I'm not quite sure what he thinks is so magical about turning 18, but he has been excited. We had a family dinner and cooked "shrimp on the barbie" his favorite and his big present was a Ipod touch. Right now he is working with his Dad laying carpet and just hanging out with his friends.

Homecoming

Tricity is a Junior this year and Homecoming was her 1st formal dance. She is the baby of the family and the only one left in high school. She was so excited and she looked so beautiful in her dress. (Notice that she is on her phone texting someone.) They went to Tepanyaki for dinner and then to the dance. She had lots of fun, but I think the best part was getting all dressed up. Devery helped her with her hair and makeup and she looked so grownup.

I was asked if I was going to cry but I have mixed emotions. It's really amazing to watch each one of them move on to the next stage of life. Each one handles it differently and usually different then I expect. I really miss them all being little and me being the center of their lives. It was nice to put them to bed each night and knowing that they would still be there in the morning. Now I think it's alot harder. You can only give them advice when they ask and just be there for them after. I am proud of all my kids and love them all just as much. I can only hope their kids give them back what they gave me.

Brynnly has a birthday and she turned 1. She had a big birthday party and got lots of presents. She wasn't sure about eating her cake but she got the hang of it as you can see. She is so cute and lots of fun. She is very smart and active for her age. And one of the best things is that she is a Nana's girl. We like to do things together and she really doesn't care what we do. Grandkids are really one of the best things about getting older.
