Project 365 ~ Week 16

We had quite a bit going on this week, which made for fun picture taking!

Sunday - 4/11

Chelsea came home today to work with the horses, and as usual, the dogs were very excited to see her, and didn't want her to go outside.


Monday - 4/12

Today I had nerve testing done and it was not fun....enough said. I don't want to relive it. LOL


Thank goodness I had "ol' blue" with me. I definitely needed it.


Tuesday - 4/13

This afternoon signaled the official start of the high school golf season, as they had their first meet of the year.





Austin's girlfriend "K" is on the girls team, so we got to watch her play as well.


Wednesday - 4/14

Austin had his final tux fitting. Thankfully all fit well and looks nice, so he's ready for prom.


Thursday - 4/15

Austin left today for the FFA State Convention for 2 days. Before leaving I had him bring me all his dirty clothes. This is what I don't like about Spring (or Fall) in Iowa. The weather can fluctuate 30 degrees in any given day. So he starts out wearing a sweat shirt and jeans (or sweat pants) over a t-shirt and shorts. Because he removes the outer layers as it warms up, that gives equal chance for both layers to get dirty...and if you know anything about my son, you know he's a dirt magnet. The basket in front is his sheets, but goodness sakes - look at all the laundry behind it!


Friday - 4/16

We had a carpet cleaning service come today. We don't have much carpet left in our house, but what we do have is now nice and clean and fresh smelling.



Saturday - 4/17

Chelsea's University had their annual celebration this week/weekend, which included a parade. The Equestrian team that she is a member of rode in the parade, so we went down to cheer her on.


Afterwards, we headed back to take pictures of Austin and "K" before they headed to Prom. How beautiful is she??? And personally, I don't know that I've ever seen my son look more handsome.


Our school always does a parade before Prom actually begins. Students and their dates are introduced and they walk the runway so pictures can be taken. It's a fun way so any one from the community can come see all the beautiful dresses, and the great tuxedos.




That was our week. How was yours? Go visit Sara through the link on the side to see more pictures.

What a GORGEOUS dress! I didn't know they wore them like that anymore - reminds me of something I would have wanted to wear to my own prom. And yes, your son is very handsome!

I hope that the nerve testing at least provided some answers for you!

What a fun filled week! Love 'K's dress...absolutely beautiful! My hubby and I chaparoned the Sr prom at the HS he teaches at...but none of the dresses were that extreme...she looks like cinderella! And your son is just as handsome! Glad you were able to cheer on your daughter as well!

Good looking couple, and

Talented rider and golfers.
Hope the pain of testing results in eventual relief.

Austin does do his own laundry in the Summer. During the school year he is so busy with school, homework & sports that he just doesn't have much time. :)
