A million dollar smile

Well, not a million, but over 4000, yikes! Alex got his braces off on Monday, doesn't he look handsome! He is starting High School at Higley High (Go Knights!) on Monday the 4th. He's taking French to get an easy A, Seminary to get more spiritual (yeahhh, right!), Ceramics to have an excuse to always have dirty finger nails, and English, Science and Math because he has to. I took him shopping this afternoon; OMGsh, who said boys were easier to shop for than girls! It has to be the right hat, the right pants, the right shoes, etc... And I'm completely lost when it comes to brand names (and I'm cheap, so if it ain't on the clearance rack at Ross's, it ain't happening!). Apparently, Old Navy and Gap (only on the clearance rack too, don't get me wrong, I'm still a fan of Walmart and Target...on clearance) is no cool. I went to the school to get his schedule, and I guess it was uncool to ask where the snacks were (what? they said they'd have snacks and they didn't!). My parents embarrassed me plenty in my teenage years, so I'm trying to be so much cooler than they were....mmmyeah, not working so much so far...but I got a few years of practice on Alex before the other kids are embarrassed to be with me, great!

Alex you look great!! Congrats on the braces removal;) Clothes shopping is a major pain. We went yesterday....I thought I was going to die or kill somebody. At the time not sure which one. Luckily we all made it out alive. Kohl's clearance was our friend this shopping expedition.
