*The Rhoades*: Anniversary, School, Cars, Babies

Yes.... I will be posting about all of those above.

I'm sorry it's been a while since I've blogged. We've been just a wee bit busy (okay... WAY busy). First part in January, us kids treated our wonderful parents to dinner (to the Jasmine) for their anniversary, grandparents came also! It was so much fun and awesome food. My parents have been married 25 years like I've mentioned in a previous post. I'm so grateful to them and we love them so much.

Feelin the love!

Chris and goofball Cadence.

I am super proud of Preston. He is officially a graduate of SLCC. He is finishing up his last semester there to finish his pre req's for pharmacy school. We got his diploma and I'm super proud of him. He's worked his tail end off (and still is). He's not too excited about it being "just SLCC" but I keep telling him not a lot of people even get that far. He has gotten excellent grades and has been such a hard worker. His degree is in Chemestry.

This month alone, Preston has 3 interviews for Pharmacy school. Atlanta Georgia, Erie Pennsylvania and Birmingham Alabama. It's been stressful and lots of money but we're hoping it'll be worth it. He felt really good about the one in Atlanta and has the one in Erie on the 16th and Birmingham on the 23rd. I am so appreciative to Preston. He works so hard for us and we will have such a great future (not that it's already great) because of him and his dedication and commitment.

Yippee!! One down, one to go!

My dad took my brother and I to the car show... talk about AMAZING! I was in awe the entire time. I've always been a big fan of old cars (even new ones that have nice taste and looks). It seriously was sooo cool. Thanks dad for taking me! I kept telling me he could buy me one of the cars we saw, but he didn't buy in. Darn it.

I loved the color on this car!

The Grease Lightening car!

How many of you can say you've been in a Rolls Royce. This was the only car I was able to even touch and I got to sit in it. The guy must have seen me pretty much drooling over it and said I could get in. Not everybody was able to sit in it. I felt pretty speshil hehe. This is a '57 by the way. I felt rich for a few seconds!

Look closely at the paint job!

Chris' first car!

This sucker was HUGE!!!

I'm bummed this turned out a little blurry because this was one of my favorite cars I saw. Aint she a beaut!?

This past weekend, I was lucky to watch my cute little babies Cadence and Stockton. They are so precious and such good kids. Except for when Cadence has to come in from outside or you don't giver her a "gaga" (cracker) she throws her little temper tantrum. But I love these kids so much! I can't imagine how I'll be when I have my own kids when I can't even get enough of my sisters kids! Preston came up for part of the time to help out and see me. Cadence loves uncle Preston. She was linked to him pretty much the whole time. When he'd be holding Stockton, she'd flip out and squish Stockton so she can get on his lap too. Preston is so cute with these kids and was a huge help. I know he'll be a great daddy one day!
