sr. prom....last high school dance...ever!!

Kailtyn was asked by a good friend to Logan's Sr. Prom. They decided to go in garb instead of fancy formal wear that neither of them would wear again. This decision started a flurry of decisions, shopping, and sewing. It was excruciating. I had to share my sewing machine for two whole weeks! :)

But the story goes a little further than that. Several garb enthusiasts decided to hold a Disney challenge within our Kingdom later this year. The challenge is to create period garb inspired by a Disney character. Kaitlyn went through several choices and decided to go for a female, Tudor version of Captain Hook. Red coat, gold trim, fluff at the sleeves and neck, big hat with puffy plume. She totally nailed the underdress and thank to some awesome help, nailed the coat! We quickly sewed some gold ribbon on it to make it more Hook-like and give it a more finished look, and I think she is still planning to actually applique a ribbon design on it.

So, first the dress...

Then the hair...

And finally, the date...

The date was actually very eventful getting stuck on the mountain with a totaled four-wheeler and all. But that is a story she will need to tell. :) 

it's a beautiful day to go to the temple

Yup, it sure was. It was Wells's day to go through for his own endowment. He was super nervous but did a fabulous job. Grandpa Martineau came up to be his escort, Grandma Martineau, Aunt Marcie, and Aunt Nadine & Uncle Bill all joined us for the session. By the time he got out, he was grinning from ear to ear! Sure do love this kid. :)

 We laughed at their tie choices. Grandpa (the evil companion) was wearing a black tie and Wells (the angelic companion) was wearing a white tie. 

 And afterwards, we went to Charly's for ice cream. It was a great day.
