Happy Birthday Lexie

Yesterday was our only Granddaugther Lexie Marie Oveson's fourth birthday. Because of this she is our very special pretty princess and she knows it. She has really grown up lately. She loves dressing up. She loves pretty dresses and especially shoes. For right now she is into Barbies and the other day I found all of Cyrena's old Barbies and she couldn't wait until she could come over to play. Most of the gifts she received on Saturday were Barbies and things to do with them. She is such a mother hen watching over Ashton and trying to also take care of Kyler even though he really has a problem with that. We love this little girl. I'm looking forward to when she gets old enough to be a shopping buddy. Then look out malls!

Brittany had fixed Lexie's hair all up. She normally loves to leave it hanging but for this she was a princess with even a crown in her hair.
This is the cake that I made for her. Of course it is Barbie and pink!
I love her look as she opened up her present from Mark and Tara, it was Tinkerbell flip flops. They always give the best presents. She also loves Tinkerbell, except in pink.
For the party we went bowling and the kids loved every minute of it. This is Kyler's bowling form.
As we finished up the games we were shocked with the scores. All three of Nicholas' kids tied at 87 and Josh outscored everyone else, even the adults with 122. Of course they all had a little help from the bumper pads. Lexie's ball would take the longest to go down the alley. But she did manage to get a couple of strikes as well as the other kids.

We really had a great time spent together as a family helping Lexie celebrate this very special day.

Junior Prom

Friday night Paul and I attended Emery High School's annual Junior Prom. We arrived early and while waiting for the Promenande we talked about our Junior Proms and also that of our children's. I could even remember who the kids each took to Prom. Oh, the memories. So today while waiting for time to go in to work I found some of the pictures from my Prom and here they are.

I found this dress in Provo while on a speech meet. My parents had told me to go shopping. When I found it, I fell in love, but I was greatly concerned because it cost $35.00. I put $5.00 down to hold it. That was a lot of money for my parents. I told them about it and my Dad surprised me with it the following Monday. I loved my dress and I still have it. I just wish I could still wear it. I was also surprised to see it in the Seventeen magazine. I have offered it to the young women to wear but so far I haven't had any takers. I can't remember who painted the mural behind me. It was on one end of the old gym.
Paul was my date. Our theme was Pieces of April. It was held on April 13th. Our bad luck for the night was the band didn't show up. Our theme was on the other end.
Our class worked hard on lowering the ceiling by creating a patchwork of pastel colors out of streamers. The hooks are still in the bricks of the gym. Even back then we did a promenade. I danced with Wayne Nielsen. For those who may read this who are my age will also recognize David Fielder and I think the girl is Ruth Fugate. Also David Bott and I not sure of the girl in purple, Lori could that have been you? Behind my head is my cousin Phillip Bell and Joy Lynn Dale. Who would of guessed that both of their lives would have been cut short.

It is always great to go down memory lane.
