Our last 'Hop

Friday was another one of those "lasts..."
Next year, Aliza will be in 5th grade and the 5th and 6th graders next year are going to go to the new Intermediate School (otherwise known as the old High School.)
Sooooo...being her last year in elementary school (did you HEAR that?? No more elementary school), this was our very last Sock Hop.
(Prosper schools have a Sock Hop on Halloween...)
So here we are:

Here is last year's photo, with Parker:

And the year before with all three:
Oh my, how they change!!!

Here is my little sweetie enjoying herself at her last Sock Hop, ever!!



(This is Mrs. Calvert, her teacher for Language Arts, Reading and Social Studies.)

AND...I am going to try my hardest to be a better blogger. I have tons of stuff I want to document!

6 friends are talking:

You get shorter every year Andrea!

Lauren in GA November 4, 2009 at 12:47 PM  

Nancy made me laugh about you getting shorter. Uh...I think she's right.

I love the pictues lined up all together so you can compare. Eveyone looks great.

I can't believe you've been in TX for three years already! Your kids are growing up so much!

Tiff Gatten November 12, 2009 at 3:57 PM  

Looks like so much fun. I know how you feel. My baby is in Jr. High now. Where did the time go???

"For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.”

-Audrey Hepburn


Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.


"I am one of [Jesus Christ's] witnesses, and in a coming day I shall feel the nail marks in his hands and in his feet and shall wet his feet with my tears. But I shall not know any better then than I know now that he is God's Almighty Son, that he is our Savior and Redeemer, and that salvation comes in and through his atoning blood and in no other way."--Bruce R. McConkie, "The Purifying Power of Gethsemane"

"...we must be careful, as we seek to become more and more godlike, that we do not become discouraged and lose hope. Becoming Christlike is a lifetime pursuit and very often involves growth and change that is slow, almost imperceptible. The scriptures record remarkable accounts of men whose lives changed dramatically, in an instant... But we must be cautious as we discuss these remarkable examples. Though they are real and powerful, they are the exception more than the rule. For every Paul, for every Enos, and for every King Lamoni, there are hundreds and thousands of people who find the process of repentance much more subtle, much more imperceptible. Day by day they move closer to the Lord, little realizing they are building a godlike life. They live quiet lives of goodness, service, and commitment. They are like the Lamanites, who the Lord said "were baptized with fire and with the Holy Ghost, and theyknew it not." (3 Ne. 9:20; italics added.)"--Ezra Taft Benson, "A Mighty Changeof Heart"
