Take me out to the ball game!

Tonight I went to the ball game with my nephew Jack, sister Janet and brother-in-law Ben...Giants vs the Cardinals...the Giants stadium is marvelous...here is what I liked best about it all...while watching the game Ben is keeping up on Twitter with the Nuggets vs the Lakers playoff game on his crackberry...so soon all the stadiums will come equipped with a screen on the back of every ones seat so that you can watch something else will eating your dog, with a side of garlic fries, juggling your beer...good thing they have banned smoking that would be disastrous to try and juggle that!

The Colson gang at Prom

All the girls in this picture are sisters...they are all in High School and they are all my Granddaughters... I posted Kate's picture last week...she went to her boyfriends HS prom...this week it is their HS prom, the school that these girls all go to is a Charter School call Jefferson Academy in Westminster, CO ....Brittany and Kate will be 16 and 17 next week and the twinies, Haley and Becca will be 15 soon after that..(yeah mom was a little busy a few years ago)...I am not sure how many sisters will be able to remember that they all went to prom together and all the fun stuff that goes along with it...this will be a very rememberable experience for all of them.

This is Brittany and her date (they are just friends) although he doesn't like like a junior in HS he looks more like he is in junior high....

This is Haley and Becca (blue dress) with their date...this young man couldn't decide which one to ask so he just took them both... 

Kate and her boyfriend opted to go casual since they did all the big stuff for prom last week and just go for the fun this week.

I guess the night was a sucess...dinner, prom, after prom and almost made it to breakfast...everyone was soooo tired they opted to head home and get some sleep...yes in years to come as they are gathering for holidays they will talk about this night..remember when we all went to prom together?  

Happy B-day Jack!!!
