This was the second year that the girls and I attended the State of TN Student Council Convention sponsored by TASC. It is held each year in a different city in the state of Tennessee. This years' convention was held in the absolute furthest city possible...Bristol. Look at this...
A school campaigns each year for Secretary-Host to decide where the convention will be held. The host was Tennessee High School. It was HUGE and HAUNTED! Yep...HAUNTED! Checkout this site...
TN High School Ghost. It was the longest drive EVER, but the MOST FUN ride ever. I had a car full of giggly girls and Ms. Angel Jones, aka, "Angelina Jones Lee"! Yep... you had to be there!
Ms. Jones called in a last minute 911 for the scrapbook. The kids in charge had dropped the ball and hadn't even started it less than two weeks before they were supposed to have it completed. We had a weekend of scrap booking at the house and this is the final product. Pretty darn good if I must say so myself. Old Momma came to the rescue once again! We actually got SECOND PLACE OVERALL! I was so proud!
This is the high school's scrapbook. They did a great job as well.
Ally and AJ and Abby and Jack...Their "BOYFriends since babies!
Abby, following in the footsteps of her big sister, Ally, ran for the State Office of West TN Representative. I was so proud of her. She won and will fill Ally's shoes on the State Board for the 2012-2013 term. She will have several Board meetings throughout the year. It is invaluable experience and a great network of friends for life. She was so excited to be able to do this especially after seeing Ally enjoy it this past year. Congrats Abby!
Her campaign slogan was..."Don't Be Crabby, Vote for Abby"!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these two women, Ms. Jones and Ms. Baker!
I have also grown to know and love this entire BUNCH of GREAT kiddos! I think I have become the "unofficial student council Mom"!
Notice all of the kids' shirts. These are Abby's campaign shirts that she had made and gave everyone to wear to support her and her office. They turned out perfect! A huge thanks and shout out to Molly at the Print Shop! She takes such great care of me and does all of my crazy student council tasks!

These pictures are of the induction ceremony for incoming state board officers. How cool was it for Ally to "pass the torch" to her younger sister Ally! WOW! Talk about a Mother's pride...
My girls and their awards!
We stopped at Calhoun's on the River in Knoxville on the way home. We gave everyone a "driving tour" of the University of Tennessee campus on the way out of town. It was a perfect ending to our trip. I am so thankful for trips like these where me and my girls have so much quality, bonding time with each other.
