Life According to Cassie: Lets go to a party!

Lets go to a party!

This past weekend was busy. Aren't they all?

But this one was fun busy.

Josie went to her Jr. Prom.

Several friends got together to go as a group and they had a blast.

They were SO cold in this pic. It was very windy and very chilly. So there wasn't too much of a photo session outside that day.

Josie and her dad.

I'm not sure he is loving this growing up into a beautiful woman thing that she has going on.

Josie looks pumped, doesn't she?

She said they had a great time. Dinner was yum and the dance was fine. (Dances are a little more nasty now days than they were we I was her age. Have you been to one lately? YIKES.)

And After Prom was a blast, as always.

Oh to be a Jr. again. ..... nah, that's okay. Once was enough for me. Ü

Becca's Blog said...: I love Josie's dress! I wore a really ugly (in retrospect) dress to my Jr. Prom. But by my Senior Prom I had things figured out and wore a nice black number that I'm not ashamed of today. I'm glad Josie wore a cute dress her first time around.

Where's her date though? Or do you Ohioans do proms stag?; April 30, 2012 at 1:22 PM

Cassie said...: Yes, you go stag when you don't have a date. :o)
She loved her dress too. The dress has a story.... since you can't hardly find a dress with sleeves on it anymore we had to get it altered, and had a lady make sleeves for it. We got it back at the last minute because Josie was in PA till a couple of days ago. When she put it on the sleeves didn’t fit, but we worked out a quick fix and it worked out good in the end. We pull out some of our best work under stress.; April 30, 2012 at 2:23 PM
Millie and Me said...: Oh how beautiful Josie is, and how grown up she looks. I have to say that Layne really looks like a farmer standing next Josie...kind of a different look from when I see him at church... you all looked great, it must be something see for you guys to see how well she has grown up. Also I wanted to say that when I first saw that picture of Layne I saw Mitch's face...they really look a lot alike, good I guess huh, lol, anyway, you all look great glad you all had a fun time.....; May 2, 2012 at 11:09 PM
Cassie said...: Yes Chris, Mitch is 100% Coleman. He looks just like his Great-Grandpa Waldo. So does his dad and Uncle Dan.
My cute farmer man looks really great when he has on his Amish hat! I'll snap a pic sometime to show you. LOL; May 3, 2012 at 8:39 AM

The funny things kids say.....

Last night Todd was filling out a job application and asked, "Who should I put for contact incase of emergency?" Layne said, "Put your mom." Mitch said, "I'd put the police."

Todd just came up from putting away some things in the basement. "Why do you still have all of those fake dolls?" No wonder Josie didn't play with dolls that often. All I bought here were the fake ones.

While ordering dinner at Texas Roadhouse tonight, Justin (in all seriousness) asked the waitress, "does this corn come with salt on it?"

Back story:Justin smashed his finger in the car door this past weekend.
Justin had the flu yesterday and was laying in bed and he called for me to come. I hurried in there and he looks up at me and says, "Don't you hate it when you have the flu and one of your pinkie fingers hurts?"
Yes, I do hate that.

We were at Layne's cousin's mission report while in Idaho. There were lots of family we hadn't seen in years. Justin asked who one lady was. I said that is your Great Aunt Debbie.

Justin asks, What makes her so great?

His list is growing...
Judd & myself were driving in the car. Out of the blue he says, "Mom, when you die I call the house."

We were driving home from school today. All was quiet. No one was talking. The radio wasn't even on.

Out of the blue Justin says, "When I get married I call the wii."
I guess when you're the youngest you have to be a forward thinker or you'll end up with nothing.

Justin & I were babysitting a new little baby. (4 weeks old) Justin came to me and said, "Mom, I can't get this baby to laugh at my jokes."

I was throwing away a large handful of watermelon rinds and Justin yells out, "Wait! Don't throw those away. The pigs will eat them." We don't have pigs.

Justin wanted his way on something and I wasn't giving in. Finally he comes up with his own threat.
"If you don't let me...I'll watch TV all day long."

We were leaving for church and in the rush I didn't remember my coat. In the car I commented that it was SO cold and I forgot to put on my coat. It was quiet for a few seconds and then Mitch says, "Well, at least you smell good."

This morning (today was a Fast Sunday) Justin came in my bedroom and asked me to get up and get him some cereal. I told him I would but that I just needed to wake up first. He laid by me for a few minutes and then said that he thougth I would have been quicker since it was FAST Sunday.

After lunch today I asked why I am always so tired after lunch on Sunday afternoon. Justin said he was never tired after lunch. I asked him how he could not be tired. He told me, "I just blink my eyes closed and then I blink my eyes open all day and I don't get tired."

I asked the boys what they wanted for dinner tonight. As usual, Justin yells SPAGHETTI! Everyone else yells, NO! (He'd eat spaghetti forever if we'd let him.) So Justin says, "Ok, lets just have pasta with some sauce with meat in it."

Yesterday the boys were at the neightbor's house playing. Kelli, the mom, asked Justin how old he was. He told her he was 4. Then she asked, "When is your birthday?" Justin's responded, "When I turn 5."

Our friend Becky P. was trying to pay Josie some money for somthing Josie didn't think she needed paid for. Becky made the comment, "You are as bad as your mother." Josie replied, "No, I'm as good as my mother."

How old does this make you feel?

Todd was calling someone the other day and keep redialing and finally said, "Mom, there is something wrong with the phone. It keeps making this beeping noise." I went over and listened.....it was a.....busy signal. Our children live in a world of voice mail and for the first time called someone without it.

Today Mitch had an interview with the Branch President because he'll be baptized this coming Saturday. He came out of his office and walked over to me smiling so huge and said, "Mom! I passed!"

The other day Justin and I were in the van together and he said something not very nice. I asked him why he did didn't choose the right. He responded with, "This time I chose the left".

The day after Halloween I noticed that Justin was gathering up all the candy from all the Trick-or-Treat buckets. I asked him what he was doing and he told me, "We've got to get this stored for winter, Mom".

Today Josie was on the phone leaving a voice mail message to a girl in her class at church. At the end of the message she finished up with..."In the name of..."

A couple nights ago our friend, Mitzi, came with her three youngest little girls. When we were getting everyone out of the car Mitch poked his head in the open door and said, pointing to the youngest, "Is that the zero-year-old"?

This morning Mitch got up and told me, "I can't believe I've had all my dreams. I'm only seven." So I asked what on earth he was talking about. He said, "I already had the dream I had last night so I guess I'm just starting over."

Today I was getting the two youngest boys ready to go to a friends house so I could take Todd to the doctor. My friend isn't feeling very good right now so I was telling Mitch (7) that he needed to be on his best behavior because Becky isn't feeling 100%. He looked at me and asked, "Is she at least at 90%?"

We went swimming today. When Layne got home from work Justin went on about how fun the 'cat pool' was. For the life of me I couldn't figure it out. Then finally it came...I call it the 'kiddy pool' - not the 'kitty pool'. LOL

Today Judd told me that it would be too dangerous to go to Heaven in a rocket so it would be easier to die first and then go there. My answer.....'okay---go play now'.
