This week was a busy one filled with normal stuff like YW Camp meetings, visiting teaching, piano lessons, swimming lessons, etc.
Wednesday night was the school academic spring showcase. Isaac and Grace liked the science experiments
.
Emma left these math notes at home so I sent a picture to her. Looking at this made my stomach turn. Glad I don’t have to do that anymore!
Speaking of turning the stomach…the YW and YM had a Fear Factor night.
They did and ate some super disgusting things, as evidenced by Emma’s face in this picture.
Some of the kids, not Emma, even ate a delicacy in the Philippines called balut. It’s a developing bird embryo that is boiled and eaten from the shell. So gross. I am so impressed that those kids actually ate it. Emma said there was no way she would ever even consider it.
Emma was telling me one day that she wanted a pair of hightop Vans. A few days later I found a pair on clearance for Isaac that were super, super cheap. I had to send a picture to Emma of Isaac’s new shoes. She wasn’t too happy. ;)
On Thursday night I went to a card class at Marge’s house. I love making those cards! Friday was full with a wedding luncheon for Mikayla Rollins and her new husband and that night Ellie Leder’s wedding reception. It’s the beginning of the wedding season for sure! Saturday was a super busy day. But it started out like this:
At least for the kids. Lee started the day on the roof unclogging gutters. I don’t like it when he is on the roof, it makes me very nervous.
Emma’s third round of prom, this time for Canby, was today. So we spent the morning doing some last minute preparations, picking up the boutonniere and getting her hair done at Danielle’s again. Then I took her out to Molalla to her friend's house where they were going to finish getting ready. The night before Isaac hadn’t slept well. As the day went on I started to suspect he might have an ear infection. So inbetween the craziness I took him to the doctor.
I thought he looked so handsome! 
He was still well enough to laugh hysterically at a picture in a magazine.
It was pretty funny.
Sure enough, he had an ear infection. We hurried off to get his prescription filled and then we headed to the Isom’s for MiKayla’s wedding reception. The Isom’s sure know how to throw a party. The reception was beautiful, the company great, and the dinner was amazaing. We were sad that we had to jet out of there a little earlier than we would have liked, but we needed to get back to Molalla for prom pictures and to see the kids off. Emma looked beautiful…again! Her date Jarod was handsome and very polite and attentive. 
They went with a group of swimming friends.
Kennedy has been Emma’s swim “mom” and good friend.
After a lot of pictures they were off! Have fun!
The rest of us were pretty pooped after that. Since we had to leave the Isom’s before dessert was served we headed to Mike’s Drive-In instead. We deserved that ice cream!
Isaac didn’t last long in bed that night. He slept much better, thank goodness for modern medicine!
Sunday was much more relaxing. We went on a walk and Grace collected a flower arrangement. The end of another busy week!
