KHS Senior Prom 2010

Hard to believe it was 2 months ago that I helped Cam ask Megan Thacker to the Prom (I shopped for the stuffed animal and drove the getaway car - he wrote the note and ditched the doorbell). I wish we would have taken a picture of the big bunny that we attached his note to, asking her - but we forgot. Anyway, it was 2 days later when Megan arranged for Cam to leave the house, while she went into his room and hid 12 Easter Eggs (following our theme, which was nice of her) with this note. It basically said that he will know her answer once he finds all the eggs.



Megan wrote her answer then cut it up like a puzzle and put into a bunch of the eggs. There was also a lot of candy in the eggs too, and Cam does enjoy his candy!



Cam went to Megan's at a quarter to 5 and had some shots taken by Jay & Julie - Megan's parents, who we have known for years. I failed to mention that Cam and Megan have known each other since we moved here 11 years ago, (they share our pew with us on most Sundays).


The corsage and boutonniere were gorgeous, I wish you could see the colors better - their outfits matched so well but the pictures don't do it justice. It was so nice to know the girl like we did - because then you can coordinate where to get your flowers and have them match!


You can't even see it very well - is it the camera, the photographer or the outside lighting??


Still at the Thacker's house (where I am not, I had to get these pictures from Megan, it would have been so much easier to just be there myself - but I was trying not to push).


At 5pm everyone (and their parents) met at the Meehan's for some pictures - because they have a really pretty house and everyone always goes to their house for anything and everything! All the parents were able to take pictures at one stop. The 6 girls starting from the bottom - Casey Brown, Kailey Sherman, Megan Thacker, Pamela Tamayo, Katie Mason and Caitlin Merrell.



The boys (men?) from the bottom - Jacob Williams, Rory Jones, Scott McIntosh, Matt ? and Michael Meehan. Very strange angle I realize.




Here are the couples - won't bother going through the names again - the 3rd guy from the bottom is the one we are all concerned about.



Cam and Megan - she is wearing very high heels to be tall enough for Cam and her feet really hurt - the sacrifices we make for beauty!


Cute kids!


Megan checking out Caitlin's intricate do - the professional dos kind of make it extra special.


Moving out to the backyard - super humid day but we were just happy the rain let up for some outside shots and so the boys didn't have to pack umbrellas all night.


Hopefully you can click on these and get closer looks.



The boys looking at a plane I guess - strange that they love taking shots like this?

Cory arrived just in time to take this nice shot. He was sitting in his new car outside listening to the Astro's game on the radio.

Now the serious studly looks.


You can tell that Cam is starting to want to get the pictures over with at this point!



At Benihana's for dinner before the dance.

I don't know where else they do this but here in Texas we have what is called "APE" - short for "after prom Extravaganza" where the kids stay all night at the school doing fun things and winning prizes and staying out of trouble. It is actually more popular than the Prom itself. It is quite elaborate with all kinds of community and parent support. Again, I wish I had taken some pictures of it.


The group came back to the Meehan's after the dance to change into their mandatory APE shirts and took one last photo before leaving for the all-nighter! I wish I had a photo of them getting back from the all-nighter (they didn't look nearly as chipper!).


Cam and Megan at APE - early in the morning when they were announcing the winners of the drawings - still looking fairly alert.

After APE got over the kids all went to the Thacker's for breakfast before church. They were actually trying to stay awake to make it to our 9 am church and then crash afterward. Cam passed out in his chair and we were not sure he could be revived. But he did end up making it to Sacrament meeting probably only because the boys were singing that Sunday. It took him a few days to recover. And me too - since I worked the first shift at APE and didn't get home till 3 am!
