Prom Night





Saturday Night was Prom for Owasso.

It was held at the Oklahoma Aquarium

Derek went stag and danced the whole night.

He's a dance-in fool

We went to Los Cabos Friday night for dinner to celebrate Don paying off his car and to show Derek how to get to the Aquarium. There is a 70 cent toll. So that was the main thing for all of us. "Don't forget to take 70 cents for the toll"

Saturday night he's dressed and ready to go, I took pictures.
And in all the excitement he leaves. .. He's been gone about 20 minutes and I remember the toll, he was just approaching the exit when Don called. Don told him just to run it, so he did. They hung up and a few minutes later Derek calls again. He's forgot his ticket to get in to the prom.

Soooo......

Super Dad, finds the ticket in his back pack, jumps in the car and drives 20mins one way to give him the ticket. He saves the day or night in this case.
That's not the first time Don has come to his rescue. He never complains or gets aggravated with him he just does it so his boy will have what he needs. I'm not sure at this time in his life, Derek truly understands how lucky he is to have a dad like Don, but one day he will.
Guess that's what its all about. .

MS Walk 2008

Casey, Connor, Don, Sally (Connor's new puppy) and I walked in the MS walk this year for Cox. Don and I have walked in the past, but this year Casey and Connor decided to join us and really enjoyed it. My employer encourages employee participation, and who knows with our help one day they may find a cure. My department was able to raise almost $1600 this year between the silent bid auction with items donated by our contractors and the lunch fund raiser put on by my department and organized by yours truly. The walk was a lot of fun and we got a little exercise to boot! Here are some pictures of the walk.

The walk took place in a beautiful neighborhood.

This is such a cute picture



Sally got a lot of attention. Lots of people wanted to know what kind of breed she was, I think we answered different each time.



Connor found a walking stick at the rest area

At the finish line without the walking stick ;-)



Resting after the walk, tired puppy and boy :-)

Our Cruise









Don and I went on a cruise to the Western Caribbean. We left Sunday March 2 from Galveston and returned on the following Sunday March 8. The ports were Jamaica, Cayman Island, and Cozumel. We had a wonderful time, the ship was unbelievable! Here are a few of the 785 pictures I took :-)
