Shaunessy's Graduation

So now that Shaunessy has already started college I guess I should post her high school graduation pictures ;) To be fair, after my hard drive crashed I had a million and 2 things to do so these have been edited just not posted! Shaunessy's graduation was at the beginning of this summer and we had driven from Texas to Washington to see our families and her graduation! ( How was that drive you ask? Long. VERY LONG. 3 days on the way there and 2 on the way back. Chase is like  a super human driving robot.) PS how cute is this board that McKae put together?

I was really hoping to post more pictures than this....but blogstomp and I are getting to know each other and it keeps telling me I have too many pictures in one email. It's very unfortunate (but maybe fortunate for you, because you have less pictures to go through! ) We started off with a little pre-graduation party. Food, friends and family: the only things you really need! Danielle made homemade eggs rolls and they were AMAZING. I had far too many. 

So Shaunessy's graduation was a super new and fun experience for me because as many of you know I did not grow up in a small town. Small town things are always new to me and blow my mind in their various traditions and such. For starters, they walked down the football field. What?! How fun is that? No rented stadiums? Crazy! And they were allowed to decorate their caps. Yay creativity! 
We all sat on the concrete bleachers (is that what they call them? Chase isn't around for me to ask, so that's what I'm going to call them) and took some pictures afterwards. Then they have a after graduation lock in party sort of situation so we said "seee yaaaaa girl!" and walked back to the house. Walked. With our feet. And it took like 5 minutes. *BBWWSSHHHH* That was my mind being blown at the idea that you can walk home from a graduation. onomatopoeia's yo.

Grandma Chase is just as cute as can be. She doesn't always remember everyone she hugs, but she still hugs them anyways. That's a loving woman right there. 

 It's such a blast to get together with family! It makes me wish we lived closer.

Shaunessy started school this fall at Utah State and (from what I can tell) loves it so far! So excited for all her new adventures and here's to hoping we get together again soon!

More pictures will be up on Facebook soon!

Miss Connell Makeup

I had such a good time doing Shaunessy's makeup for Junior Miss! (or Miss Connell...I don't know what people are calling it so pick one). Don't get me wrong, I was SUPER nervous because I wanted her to like it and everything makes me nervous..but she was so great about it

I've put together a product list below of some things I used for this look, since I thought that would be the easiest way to break it down.

Eye shadow: Too faced Chocolate Bar palette & a little Lorac 2
Eyeliner: L'Oréal Infallible Gel Lacquer Liner 24 Hour
Lashes: Ardell Demi Wispies

I seriously loved working on her perfect skin, and seeing her rock it on stage that night! She won herself that scholarship money, and then went to Europe. Basically, my life was not that cool as a Junior in High School ;) 

So the gym basically had the worst lighting in the world which is a nightmare, and it's so orange in there so spare me with the photos, and enjoy the love instead
