You're never too young to give

After months of letting her hair grow to a 10 inch pony tail, Brooke got her hair cut off yesterday. She donated her ponytail to Locks of Love which will make use it to make wigs for children. Over the last few years, we have struggled with why we have so much while others are in great need and tried to figure out ways as a family to help those in need. We are very proud of Brooke for using her limited resources as an 8 year old to help those who are in need.

Prom Night

Can you believe that Bethany bought her prom dress for $5 on a clearance rack at JCPenny? She looks great and had a lot of fun at the prom. One of the moms who is a caterer cooked filet mignon for them with all the fancy fixins. They had a great time and proved that you don't have to spend hundreds of dollars to have a good evening. We had about 20 kids over after the prom for an after prom party. Bethany recovered in a day; it took Scott and I about three days to get back to normal. I'd never want to go back to the high school days again but to have that energy. . .
