Mini Prom

Chase originally asked a girl to Prom.  That night she said "Yes" on social media.  But then the next day, she said that she forgot that another guy had asked her.  I was fuming.  But Chase took it really well.  So when we got back from BL, Chase and a couple of his friends went to ask another girl.  She lived farther away than they thought so they were out past curfew.  Chase rolled through a stop sign and there happened to be a policeman monitoring the intersection.  He pulled Chase over and asked what he was doing out past curfew.  Chase was very polite and told the officer that we was asking a girl to prom.  The policeman asked if she said yes and Chase said "I sure hope so because the first girl said no."  Luckily the policeman had a good sense of humor and let him get off with a warning.  But we got a good laugh out of it.  On March 7th, Ellie answered Chase for Prom.  She said " I'd love to Roll to Prom with you."  Chase's group decided that they wanted to wear suits and not tuxedos.  We bought Chase a nice grey suit.  He looks so handsome!!!
  Because of COVID, Prom was cancelled.  His group ended up doing a "Mini Prom."  During COVID, one of Chase's friends broke up with his date and hooked up with Chase's date.  So Lexi, the original girl came back and said "I blew it the first time, will you go to Prom with me."  Chase is so easy going and very nice.  He agreed to take Lexi. Their group consisted of 10 couples.  They went to dinner at Maddox and then went back to a barn that Josh and Easton had cleaned out.  They danced for three hours.  Really the boys danced for one hour and the girls danced for three hours.  But Chase still had a fun time and was glad that he went.

Bridal Shower for Hailee

I hosted a bridal shower for Tiffani's daughter Hailee.  She's getting married July 4th.  I only had to focus on getting my house cleaned.  The Minnesota girls were awesome to step up and help me with food, especially Jen.  She brought 2 salads, and four desserts!!!  All of the Minnesota girls came and most of their daughters.  We were so happy to see each other!  It's been since February since we last saw each other so we've really missed each other.  (COVID has definitely made me appreciate friends and family.). Hailee was so appreciative!  She was so happy!  It made it all worth it.

Why not?!?!

Our entry table was looking really rough at the bottom of the legs. There were some really big scratches on the top. I decided to spray paint it a dark navy blue. Matt asked me “are you sure you can do this?” I said “why not! I have nothing to lose!”  The table is 18 years old so I figured if I messed it up really bad, I would toss it. I ended up putting about 6 coats on the table. It was a lot harder than I thought. As long as you don’t look too closely, I’m happy with how it turned out.

Cement

Matt and the boys have worked so hard on projects around the house.  Matt and the boys did the forms for a cement walk way from our driveway to the back steps in the back yard and then two strips for a tractor driveway.  Layne was so sweet to come down and help too.  Matt hired a friend to pour the cement and then make it look nice.  It turned out great!!  It's going to be so nice to have a pathway so Sophie's paws hopefully don't get so muddy.  I worked that day but before I left, I asked Matt if he would do a hand print of the boys. He put it at the bottom of a strip but it has the boys hand  prints and the year so we can always remember this.  I loved the one we had in American Fork of Chase's little footprint.  Good memories.
