More of Homecoming Week...

Ethan played in the Beefcake volleyball game--his team won (best 2 out of 3).
Most of the action shots were blurry or didn't turn out.

The winning beefcake v-ball team.

The bonfire--I took Zane after he got home from football practice (the fire was already going.)

I brought Callum along so he could see the fire too.


Ahhhh--there is Ethan.

It is hard to get a picture of Ethan--so I will take what I can get.

Callum hung out with Ethan for a few minutes.

Brienna holding Benjamin (next to Ethan).

The Senior Class of 2010!! Yay--I got a picture of Ethan!!! (He is in the front with his hat on backwards)

I was glad I was there at the right moment (they posed for a yearbook picture).

This is Zane's game (in IF)--he is #25.

He's in the middle of the pack--they played a bigger school, and overall did really well--even though they lost.
But they scored 3 touchdowns, and no one had scored against the other team yet this season.

Now we are back home, ready for the football game. Zane had our school colors sprayed in his hair (orange & black).

Ethan is in the middle--he started as defensive nose. We play 6-man football, so it is quite different than 8 or 11-man football.

My parents met us in IF (with my sister Pamela), to first watch Zane's game. Then we all went home to watch Ethan play. He is blocking in this picture (#30)

Here he is rushing the quarterback.

At half time, the Senior class officers received the spirit stick for the week of homecoming.

Ethan receiving high fives after sacking the quarterback (alright--he told me it wasn't officially a sack because he carried him over the line of scrimmage). But I was excited (& so was he).

The end of the game. Ethan keeps improving each week, and this was an excellent game for Ethan.

Benjamin jumped into Ethan's arms--he had missed his big brother all day!

We won--60 to 20.

Benjamin went right to Grandma & Grandpa! Thanks to them & Aunt Pamela for watching him during the game so I could take pictures!!

Grandma reading a book to Emmalee.
I didn't get pictures of the floats & parade, because I forgot to leave my camera with Brienna to take pictures while we were in IF at Zane's game.
But it was a wonderful, exhausting week, and I think Ethan will have great memories of his Senior Homecoming week.
He did go to the dance (stag) for a short time, but then a group of the kids went to a friend's house to watch a movie. So no dance pictures either.
