Prom 2024

Prom 2024

It was such a fun night for Evelyn, and such a fun night for me to hang out with the sweetest kids and their moms while they got ready.

Here are some random shots from the evening..

Juliet, Evelyn's friend since birth, came with Evelyn as she is homeschooled and wanted to go to a prom. Super fun to have her along. 

Walking up to the lake to get pics

Besties since 1st grade! :) 

The three amigos... love them so much!

The kids went to McMenamins for dinner. I gave them the "mom talk" before leaving them. Their server and nearby tables told us later that they were lovely to have there and were a fun group!

Love this crew and so thankful for these faces. They all had a super fun night!!

 

Jazz Festival

Matthew has been interested in bass guitar for some time and so after looking around we bought him a used one for him to try. He took to it immediately and has taught himself to play. He then joined the after school jazz band and has been doing that two days a week for this past school year. 

The jazz band was entered in the Mt. Hood Jazz Fesitval, a well known event here in town, and the kids worked so hard to prepare. 

Today was the day the performed. And oh, boy did they bring it!

They had professional musicians listening to and then critiquing the performances. The kids did so well and got high praise. Matthew played amazing and we are do proud of him!

Just a few pics... Matthew was hiding in the back behind a music stand so is hard to see, but he was there and was heard.. haha!!
