Ready to Deliver the Cupcakes

Ready to head off the the TCC library to deliver the cupcakes she made for her friends there.

Making Cupcakes for the Staff at TCC Library

Samantha quickly made friends with some of the staff at the college library last week.  Last night she baked cupcakes to take them today!

Can't Believe Lauren is Starting Her Senior Year!

These are from Lauren's Senior Picture proofs.  Can't wait to see the final products.  So very proud of her and all her academic achievements.  She has grown up way too fast!

Happy 53rd Birthday Grandma!

Oh my goodness, look what I just came across.  Here I am celebrating my 53rd birthday with Lauren, Steffinee, and Dustin (Lindsay was present but opted not to be in the picture) back in 2000.  This was the only birthday Steffinee has ever been here for my birthday.  Since my birthday is always close to and sometimes on Mother's Day, she is with her mother.  This must have been the year her mother was serving in Iraq.

Love This Clock Tower in Our Hometown!

I love this clock tower on Grapevine's Convention and Visitor's Bureau Building.

What Makes College Better Than Elementary School?

Why, snack machines of course!  Samantha's eye really lit up when she saw the snack machines.  She looked at me and said, "They have snack machines here?"  I tend to forget they are out of most schools now days and as a second grader this Fall, that was a novelty to her.

She was also fascinated to see a vending machine full of school supplies.

Samantha Ready For Her 1st Day at College

Samantha is so excited to be going to the college today.  She was there once with Dustin and Steffinee but it was on a Friday when there were no classes.  Today she will get to be there in all the school activity, visit the library, etc.  You would think she was going off to class based on her excitement!  Hope she still feels that way in about 11 or 12 years!
