Celebrities?

You would think so.

Not really though, these kids have been together through some of the toughest times of their lives (thus far).

And oh the drama.

I thought high school was tough when I was growing up.

But alas, they always stick together.

And remain a pretty tight group.

Not to mention they all get very competitive when it comes to their appearances.

A small group of friends?

When Cory asks to have a few friends over (in my mind I’m thinking 5 or 6) I think twice now.

Having a few friends over after Prom resulted in a very loud rambunctious group of 35 kids.

I’m so happy it was a stormy night so the neighbors 5 miles away (across the ravine) didn’t call us in for noise.

Here are photos from this wild and crazy night.

Cory went to prom with his very dear friend Kimberly.

The one on the right is one of Cory’s BFF’s Sam (who’s giving me the peace sign apparently).  The other one is filing his nails ~ I think.

I loved the rainbow tie die tux.  The girl in white and blue is Emma.  She’s a very sweet girl and I loved her dress.

The guys.

This is Hannah.  She’s a very very close friend too.  She’s in Rewind with Cory and is probably his best female friend.

Another of Emma because her dress was my favorite of the night.

The guys trying to look studly.

Cory helping out his friend with his cuff links.

Okay the first studly pose didn’t work out so well so they tried looking like nice boys (they really are for the most part).

The girls.

All of the girls this time.  Had to go try at an angle so they would all fit in the photo.

So then they decided to try for all Seniors.

Cory and Jenna.  I loved her dress too.  She’s a beautiful girl though so I think she can make a burlap sack look good.

Another girl.  I don’t even try to remember names anymore.

I’m sure I’ve met these girls before but seriously there were some that the Mom’s pushed up into photos with Cory just to get the photo.

You’d think he was a celebrity or something.  Come to think of it I did have a Mom once tell me he’s like the movie star of the school.

I’m NOT joking.

Going for studly once more.

It is amusing to say the least.  I think they are a blast.  The pink sunglasses are my favorite.

Another girl.

Cory and Kaitlyn.  She is Jon T’s girl.  He is currently in Florida with his very sick Mama.  He plans to move back though.

I think this one is Jordan and I think she graduated last year.

Another of Jenna.

BFF’s.

Another girl.

And another.

She’s a foreign exchange student from Sweden (I think).

Beautiful.

My favorite of Cory for the night.

Ethan (Olivia’s brother), Kimberly and Cory.

Ethan and his parental unit.

One last girl.

There were no photos of after prom or after after prom.

I was too busy keeping kiddos quiet and doggies from freaking out.

I think they had a great night (albeit emotional).

You know since it’s one of their last big hurrah’s.

This week I got my first piece of mail from Cade.

He’s eight years old.

His class sent out postcards to parents letting them know what they’ve learned so far in school this year.

I just love this boy.

Last year while Cade was in first grade, I had the privilege of helping out in his classroom every Monday. Privilege you ask? If you only knew how entertaining it could be. You will understand once I explain the photo that follows. Okay, remember they’re first graders, most of them don’t know how to read that well, not to mention form sentences and paragraphs. So this piece of work done sometime during semester 2 is an example of my then 6 year old writing about the life cycle of a butterfly. Hey that’s science too. They learned a lot that year. Okay I see here that there’s 4 sentences forming a paragraph. First butterflies can lay eggs, and they definitely do. These eggs turn into caterpillars. Then on to sentence 3, mind you we called them coccoons back when I was in elementary school, but anyway it says they turn into pupa – WHAT? That does not say pupa. Look for yourself. ~giggle-giggle~
