First date!

Mac's first date! Our kids grow up knowing their first date
will be with mom (the boys) or dad (the girls.)
I will get 3 dates out of the deal and Lou only 2!
Friday night I get a call on my cell,
"Yo, wanna go out?"
I laughed and said, "No, I'm busy!"
He called back and tried another approach-
which of course, I accepted!
We had a a really good time.
After a few dating 101 moments,
notice the chopstick picture...
he is ready to hit the dating world!
He opened doors, was a good listener, made me laugh,
told me I was beautiful...I have no worries. :)
Maybe that is the worry-
he is a little too charming!
I really lucked out on this Friday date night!
After Mac and I got home he watched the little ones,
while Lou and I went out for date # 2!
Thanks Mac
for a
great date night!
p.s. So Sorry that you "lost" your wallet!
I hope you find it by your next date!

What a fun date! Mac, I love the "lost my wallet" line... I don't think I will let Thomas in on that one :) Jolyn I definitely think you have a charmer on your hands!

I love the first date! We did the same thing, and apparently Austin lost his wallet too.

Mac is a cutie. I bet he will have lots more wonderful dates in the future. But probably few will compare in beauty, fun, and quality to his first date.

It was nice to see you the other day! I wish it were more frequent.

Oh how wonderful! That is such a special time! Wade and I love this tradition! I am so excited for you~ 16 is seriously one of my favorite ages! You have so much to look forward to!
Looks like such a fun date. It seems like I just had mine with Mitch and now he is 17, the fun thing is he still takes me on dates!

What a great idea! Sounds like a fun night. i can't believe you have a son old enough to date.

Amber said...

You look so beautiful! You don't look old enough to have a 16 year old who in no time will be on a mission...married...WHERE does the time go!? I bet you had to scramble fast to schedule this first date. =)
I'm sure Mckay, and the girls he will be asking- are ready for dates!

Jolyn Buhrley said...

I did have to scramble a bit! At first he was like..." could we go out for breakfast?!" LOL! He did fit me in for a nice dinner though!
Gracie and Justin are already planning their "dates"! Justin wants to take me to Fuddruckers-but he is worried he won't be able to find it. Gracie is hoping for Disney Land, or Chucky Cheese!
TIME goes so FAST!

Christina said...

What a fun date! I think that this kind of tradition is so great! I think Gracie should keep shooting for the Disneyland date! A girl after my own heart! :)

Wow Mac knows how to get the best looking "older" woman for a date, I bet people really thought you were on a date, He will aways remember his date with his mom and how fun the rest of the kids are planning their dates they are so cute, Mac is so cute, I know he will have lots of fun, maybe he will have to have a date with his grandma for lesson 102 love you can't wait to see all of you!!!!!!

Wendy Buhrley said...

Hi! Lucky for Mckay that his first date was with such a HOTIE! That will definitely be hard for any girl to measure up to :) Love you!
