Still Catching Up!

I'm determined to get caught up on the blog before the end of the year! I'm not that far behind! Here's another attempt!

Lucy had surgery to have her tonsils removed the Monday before Thanksgiving!! She did great, but it was a pretty yucky time to do it. Thanksgiving dinner was kind of a bummer.

This is AFTER the surgery! Doesn't she look great?

The recovery was long - she was really down for the first week, and missed a week of school after that. The doctor said the worst days are 7-10 after surgery. That proved to be true! She went back to school on Monday and is doing great! I can't wait to hear her sing again. It will be interesting to see if her sound is different.

Thanksgiving 2009

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Since our married children decided NOT to join us this year, we invited a bunch of friends to dinner. Of course we forgot to take pictures until the end of the day and missed most of our guests, but I think a great time was had by all. The wasn't half bad either!

Lucy snapped a couple photos of the tables before dinner. She's such a creative photographer. This was the adult table. We had a teen table and a kid table, too!

For Mom - You asked for it!

Recently my sweet Mother wrote on my Facebook wall, "Your mother is waiting for an update on your blog!!!" Okay, so it's been a while... but I've been busy! So, just for you, Mom (since you are my only reader) I'll provide you with an update of the goings on at the Scholl house since last I posted. If (as PW says) it makes your skirt fly up!

Here we go:

Parker has been to visit a couple times. One of my favorite things in the whole world is when Parker comes to visit. The kid makes me smile.

Cutest kid EVER

The new Prosper High School opened in August. It's amazing. Truly. And to think there are just under 1,000 students attending this incredible facility.


This is the "arena" - Check out the Jumbotron!

Football season in Prosper - GO EAGLES!!

Lucy rocks as a "flyer"

The traditional "After Game Breakfasts" are fun. Karen decorated donuts for the Sophomore Breakfast one week.


Pep Rallies every week. The BLACK OUT Pep Rally was super fun!


The Prosper Pirates had a great season, too! Molly is a natural!

Karen's High School friend, Bonnie came for a visit! We even made the evening news!

Bonnie is as cute and sweet as ever!

Homecoming festivities include All The Single Ladies going to the dance together. Pictures beforehand at our house!


I guess short dresses are "the thing" now. My Gunny Sax dress wouldn't cut it today.


Lucy and Sarah - the beauties!

Karen catered the Sci-Tech Discovery Center Opening Sponsor Preview Party!


It was a morning event, and the opening exhibit is Grossology! It made for some fun food!


Eyeball Bagels were a hit!


Fruit kabobs were perfect with the color scheme!

A Rube Goldberg machine was built for the ribbon cutting ceremony!

Lucy participates in Dress Up Days almost weekly!

Twins Day with Sarah!

Decade Day - guess which decade.

Molly gets in on the Dress Up Days, too! Will - not so much.

Cute as a button for the school Sock Hop!

Ashley's college roommate, Kristin, got married and Ashley and her other roommate Bridget hosted a brunch at our house the day before the wedding. They did a wonderful job!

Ashley made darling little quiches! Yum.

As always, we have a lot of fun with the kids - when they're around.

Ashley visited THREE times this fall!!


Drew makes an occasional appearance. Sometimes he even brings Rachel along! He's always good for a laugh.


This is the view we usually see of Will. He's always running around.


We were blessed with an additional member of our family for a short time. This little guy hung around in a basket for a couple weeks while Lucy pretended to be a mother. I'm worried about her parenting skills. She left him at school once, and in the car a few times.

Karen and Lucy had a fun girls night out at the "So You Think You Can Dance" show.




We had so-so seats, but a GREAT time!

Karen has had a great time with gable boxes lately. She's easily entertained.

She packaged these S'more Brownies in gable boxes for her friends at Thanksgiving.


And got her Christmas gifts packaged and mailed to the cousins in these cute ones.

Just a few more to go....

We're really lucky to have family living nearby.

It was wonderful for Molly to have someone to invite to "Special Person Day" at her school!
Thanks for coming Aunt Carollyn!


And for coming to Lucy's Pep Rally, too!

That brings us through last Friday! And, that's probably all you can handle right now anyway. This was a good exercise for me (Karen) as I've realized I really need to take some photos of Will. And maybe Jon, too.

This week was very eventful, too, so I will do my best to find some time to post those happenings before Valentines Day. If you've managed to stick around long enough to get to this point, and you've done more that just look at the pictures, and are actually reading this, leave us a note and let us know you've been here. Don't be a stalker - make yourself known! It makes us feel like we have friends - or at least family members, and gives our blogging purpose. Thanks.

Two Super Cute Cheerleaders!

Lucy is a Varsity Cheerleader for the Eagles of Prosper High!


Molly is a cheerleader for the Prosper Pirates, a third grade football team!

We have lots of spirit at our house these days! Someone is always doing a high kick, clapping, or chanting. There are uniforms, pom poms, hairbows, megaphones and cheer shoes everywhere you look! They are both having fun and are absolutely the cutest cheerleaders anywhere!

Continuing Education

"Back to school" is sooo overused. But alas, it's true. They're baaa-aaack. Parting is such sweet sorrow.

We had our "back to school" breakfast.


Name pancakes! Just in case you forgot how to spell your name over the summer.


No Seminary on the first day! But Lucy is still tired.



Will and Molly are excited and ready!


The traditional first day photo. Picking out what to wear the first day is always a fun challenge! Everyone looked so cute!

Molly picked out her skinny jeans with a little bling on the pockets and a super cute plaid shirt with a little sparkle in it! Her new pink and white backpack is fun and sporty!

Will was looking like a middle school hottie with his MEK jeans and embroidered shirt. He has his locker supplies ready to go, too. This is his first year with a locker!

Lucy tried on several outfits before deciding on this ensemble. She looked beautiful and just like a sophomore!

After breakfast, we loaded up the car and were off to THREE, yes three different schools! First stop was the elementary school! We all walked in with Molly. It was a little sad to see her going to school all by herself. William was always so good to walk with her and make sure she got inside safely over the past three years. But she's a big girl and is doing GREAT!


Molly and Mrs. Bainbridge!

Next stop - Prosper High School. The NEW Prosper High School. It's an amazing campus. First of all it's HUGE. It's also state of the art everything. Lucy was excited to go to school to just be inside this wonderful facility. Lucy's friend, Emily, joined us on day 1 and they were all too kind to pose for the photo in front of the school. NO, I did not walk them inside.


Lucy and Emily

The Middle School starts last, so Will and I made our way through the traffic to his school. The Middle school is only one year old and is really a beautiful campus, too! Will was excited, but nervous, too about all the things that come along with sixth grade! Lockers, combinations, changing classrooms, getting lost, etc. I have all the confidence that he will do great!


Looking so cute with the new haircut, too!

After leaving them off one by one and breathing a sigh of sadness and relief I went straight to the gym. The school day was over before I knew it and I ran around town collecting my favorite people in the world. I missed them!

Happy 15th, Sweet Lucy!



I can hardly believe you are 15 years old today, my sweet girl who started out with "sticking up hair" and sucked on multiple "babbas" (pacifiers) at once.  You have brought our family so much joy with your smile, your beautiful singing, your service and most of all, your love.  We can't imagine our lives without you.  Thank you for everything you do and all that you are!

We love you!

One Last Look at Charlie Brown

The show is over, but I couldn't help but post a few photos of the actual musical.  The kids did such a good job.  It's pretty different here in Prosper where the resources are more limited, but Mr. O'Neil the theater teacher is fantastic at making the small stage in the cafeteria feel like any stage in any theater.

I'm so glad Lucy has opportunities to learn and grow and share her talents.  I'm constantly in awe of her strength and fortitude.  She is an example of a righteous young woman and I'm so blessed to have her as my daughter.  You ROCK, Lucy!


Coat hanger sculpture monologue

It's a great day for Rabbit Hunting

Loved the traditional Peanuts Gang Dance!

Beethoven Day

Lucy has great friends!  She had a huge group each night of the show who came to show their support!  This is a group from Prosper High.
