Homecoming dance 2012- no words needed

powder puff 2012

It's Homecoming week at the local High School.

Chloe was bound & determined to be on the powder puff team this year & she was!

Powder puff is when the Jr. girls take on the Sr. girls in some flag football.

Typically the football players & other young men dress up as the cheerleaders.

This didn't happen this year & we were seriously disappointed!

At least Trent & I were- I kept telling him--- just hang on there's going to be a funny show.

didn't happen

There is is far right on the front offensive line.

She was in the whole game & she was tough!

One thing about Chloe-- she is very strong & very muscular. 

Ballet will do that to you.

She even has muscle tone all through her back.

It's amazing to see. She often goes to the gym & grown men will ask her how she got like that - or move the weight pin lower after she leaves a machine. She kind of likes that. (I would prefer grown men to just keep their distance thank you very much)

 

The junior girls practiced a lot!

several nights a week with the help of some junior boys

this is serous business.

In the end-

the seniors won 14-6

That's probably how it should be?

Afterwards- Chloe said she heard there was $30 on her head if anyone could "take her out." 

What in the world-- I hope that was just a rumor!?

I'm sure it was

painting the V

It's a Homecoming tradition to paint the letter on our mountain. Last week's rain & snow postponed the event by a week--- but don't worry--- the tradition did go on! #4 in our family to participate, miss Hailey- got just a little bit of paint on herself.

That's what it's all about now~ isn't it?

It's a senior class tradition. Gotta say, it just doesn't seem possible Hailey can be a senior in High School!?

Or maybe it just doesn't seem possible that I could be the mother of 4-- count them 4-- kids who have graduated from High School? Wow- I love it though. Love it.

What a fun tradition~ what a bunch of great kids.

homecoming date

nice girls

Yesterday was another big day at our house.

Chloe auditioned for her ballet school's annual Nutcracker performance.

SHE MADE IT!!!

(tickets go on sale soon- $6 or $9. It runs thurs, fri, & sat the week before Thanksgiving at Weber State University if you are interested let me know!)
And...

Hailey went to Homecoming!

Hailey & her friend Hannah are peer tutors to a couple of students with special needs. When neither one of them were asked to the dance-

they took matters in their own hands.

They asked two boys with special needs.

One with Autism & one with Cerebral palsy.

They had the best time!

I can't wait to get the pictures back.

*I can't believe it's this time of year again?

Summer went way to fast for me- how about you?

random monday

I love this picture of jack not wanting to get his picture taken waiting to leave for the dance. Why- because on Friday the senior class went up on the mountain to paint "their letter" white. You can see the white paint still stuck on his scalp. He was covered in white paint... I wasn't home & didn't get a photo!!! dang- I have pictures of megan & brian covered in white paint from their senior years- maybe someone has a picture out there?Sunday we drove down to the newlywed's apartment & had lunch with them. They are so cute- they have a darling apartment- I love them. Trent wanted to see everything- oh thanks for being patient guys.

Today I went shopping with the peanut & my sister.

Look who's walking- the peanut! gosh I just can't believe how cute this guy is & already walking? amazing- i guess he is a whloe year old now. It always takes him a while to warm up to me. He refused to smile. I think he was just so serious about buying this chair.

big date

Last night was the big homecoming dance at the High School.Jack went with the most darling girl- Kristy's daughter Emily- is she gorgeous or what?
Wende took some photos for Kristy & I- thanks wende! Jack of course as always has one of his favorite cowboy belt buckles on for the picture ..... hmmmm. I'm just so glad he went, & with a great girl, & had a great time- so I'm not saying a word- not a single word about the PBR (professional bull riders) belt buckle. ??
This was for sure one of the funnest Homecoming dates ever- they went to dinner at Olive Garden, then went to the dance. After the dance they went to Jack's friends, dad's hanger. They watched movies & took turns taking flights to view the city lights- temple square, etc. Cool.
It was so kind of his dad to fly the kids six at a time.
What a thrill!!
*did you go to H.S. dances?
*would you have let your daughter go on the flight...?
