The Cutest Witch

The Princess went to a Halloween party. It took us at least an hour to find the right costume. I think we got the right one!




They don't make witch costumes like they used to! I think she looks cute.




No warts or crooked noses. As a matter of fact.....I think she is too pretty to be a witch! Are witches supposed to be pretty? I don't know but......I do know that this one is!

The Pep Rally

Since it is Big E's senior year....I have been trying to document as much of this year as I can. That is how I found myself at a very interesting pep rally. The Senior football players dressed as the cheerleaders and the cheerleaders became football players.



I have not laughed like this since the accident. I laughed so much my cheeks hurt. The boys did a dance routine and they did a few cheers.



Notice the legs on Big E and the shorts and boots are just lovely.


Oh my gosh!!!!

This is Hicks he was a hoot!


Notice the look that the friend on the back is giving Big E!



This is Big E and one of his best friends Seth. They are the only two that actually fit in the whole cheerleader suit......too funny.



The cheerleaders were adorable!

The senior football players have been a complete joy for me this year. They are great kids and they are so close. I love these boys.....errrrrrr.....girls.....nah....there boys.....just really pretty boys!



These days it is harder for me to smile and even harder for me to really and truly laugh. These kids gave me a gift on this day! I was able to laugh and smile in a way I have not done in a long, long time. Thanks to these kids.....I had a great day!

Homecoming

Around here football is a big deal. Every Friday night everyone gathers at the local high school football field to watch the kids play in the band, cheer and play football. The homecoming game is a big deal. We have a whole week of homecoming fesitvites that end with a homecoming parade the day of the game. Each high school class has to make a float to go in the parade and the floats are judged. The kids build their floats in different locations so that the other classes can not see what they are doing.

The kids spend a lot of time on the floats and they work really hard.




Every one joins in to make their float look great!



There is also a lot of playing around. This year there were some hay bales at the barn where the kids were working. We just could not keep them off of them. So....I just decided to take advantage of that and get their pictures.



This group of boys have been friends forever. They are so close and I feel like they always will be.



What a crew!

Once they got through playing they got back to work!


This was the end result.





After getting 2nd place for the last three years.....they finally won the float contest. Way to go Seniors! They won the pep rally and they won their last homecoming game.

It is fun living in a small town because you get to do things like this!

It has been a while since I have posted a blog and I apologize. We have been in the middle of football so, I have not had a lot of time to blog. We have ended our season now and I promise I will get busy. I have a lot I can talk about from the last few months so, maybe I will have a lot for you to read! Talk to you later!

Paint The Street!

There is a tradition at our local high school. Every year, at the beginning of the year, the seniors get to paint the street. They paint the area between the back of the school and the football stadium.

My son Big "E" is a senior this year so, it was his turn.

This is the group before they started:



The paint you see on the road is from last years seniors. That is soon obliviated.

Big "E" quickly got busy.


The girls were very artistic and used pretty colors!



The boys were going for maximum exposure. Boys tend to do that you know!



This is Big "E" and his best buddies with their master piece.

and of course they had to bring all of the cute girls into the picture.

and that completed their crew!


Best of Luck to all of our seniors! I love each of you so much and I am so very proud of you! sniff sniff

I'm ok......I just got a little allergy stuff going on.
