Prom 2012


 Grace and Cole were both asked to
prom this year as Freshman.
(Prom at our high school is Junior and Senior.)

David (a junior) was supposed to attend but
couldn't because of grades. Bummer!

 Cole went with Taylor.
Taylor and Cole became friends
when Taylor tutored Cole in French.
We have several mutual family friends
with Taylor her family and we
were thrilled that they went together!

 Cole worked hard to be able to
have the money to attend prom.
It was neat to see him plan
things with Taylor and watch him
really act so mature!
Isn't he handsome?
And Miss Taylor looked stunning!




Cole and Taylor left the picture taking
session early to go and visit her grandma
who is in the hospital. (Lauren took the
pictures by the way since I was sick in bed!)
(Thank you Lauren!! xoxoxo)


Grace attended the prom with Micah.
Micah and Grace have been
"going out" for several months now.
We love Micah. That's no secret.
He is a nice Christian boy and
has similar values as Grace.
He is also a lot of fun and is kind
to all of Graces younger siblings
when he comes over and they want
to hang all over him.

He recently spent several hours washing
all the dishes from the girls bake sale.
With a smile on his face.
(He's a keeper!)





Grace looked beautiful.
I love the purple dress she picked out.
Originally she wanted a long dress
that was $269! (That would have broke
her bank account!) And since she recently
made the cheer squad and intends to try
out again for select soccer we steered her
to the short, less expensive, equally as fabulous
dresses at another store. She even had money
left her in her budget to buy those swanky
gold sparkly heels.

They all had a wonderful night.
Complete with a trip for ice
cream after prom.
Hopefully next year-
David will be joining them!

Grace looks radiant. Hang on to that guy! Cole is handsome too. Our proms here are jr/sr also. Adam chose not to go because he didn't want to spend that much money on one night. (His friends were renting tux, a limo etc--not exactly a budget event I guess)

Ohhhhhhhhhhh my goodness. I cannot imagine these kiddos going to prom. PROM???? Prom! What happened to little Grace and Cole? They're not so little anymore. And again, your pictures are AMAZING, S. Simply amazing. You should be doing this for a living.

Gorgeous!! Did she make cheer for Ferndale? I've got Hannah's cheer stuff like shoes etc if grace would like some 'backup' cheer stuff. If she is interested just email me her sizes.
