Homecoming Parade

 Zane's locker at school.

 The Juniors' float--"Crunch those Tigers" (Richfield)--Frosted Flakes :)

 The Freshmen--a bit scary seeing them hold hammers--to smash the tigers.

Black/Orange Day & Bon-Fire

 Thursday was Black & Orange day.  Callum wanted orange & black hair spray in his hair.

 My cute Brienna!  I love her to pieces!  She stays extremely busy with school (dual credit US History, yearbook junior editor, band, early morning seminary & piano--plus more than I can list!)

 Wearing her daddy's high school football jersery :)

 Emmalee and Benjamin bundling up so we can go to the bon-fire.

 When we (Rusty, me & the 2 little ones) arrived, we expected to see a huge fire.  Instead, no one had brought matches/flares/flame to start it--lol!

 Zane "posing" for the camera--Ben, Rusty (talking to Troy Stone) & Callum

 Zane--my freshman!  I am proud of all he is doing. (football, band, student council, early morning seminary...)

 They finally got the fire going--and it was the biggest one I've seen!

 Boys in back:  Kaleb May, Chase Bramwell, & Tucker Farr.

Girls in front:  Josey Grover, Brienna Stewart & Joni Grover.

 fun at the fire!

 Emmalee & Ben.  According to Ben:  it was a very huge fire--bigger than mom & emmalee!

 This is from about 50-75 yards away because it was burning hot!

 Callum :)  He is loving Junior High!

 Nice!

 Ben, Rusty & Emmalee

 Me with Ben & Emmalee.

 Everyone had to "retreat" because it was so stinking hot!

What a great night :)

Movie Day & Beefcake Volleyball

 Callum's class picked the movie "Diary of a Whimpy Kid" for their dress=up day.

 He is dressed up as Rodrick==the older brother.  here is a picture of the actor:

Their band was called "Loded Diper" (loaded diaper).

 Brienna's  class movie was "Despicable Me" & so she wore a yellow shirt to be a minion.  (no picture of her today)  Zane's class movie was "The Avengers" 

 So he was Captain America--or at least carried the shield.  He tried really hard not to smile!

 This evening was Beefcake volleyball.  It was the Freshmen (8 of them) and Juniors (only 1 played) against the Seniors (5 of them) & the 1 Sophomore.

 It was an entertaining evening--all the seniors wore wigs/bandannas.

 Here are the the 9 boys on Zane's team.  Zane had a killer serve!  He didn't miss one, and actually got an ace.

Luis C., Treston E., Alberto R., Daniel M., (coach) Patricia M., Fernado E., (coach) Karlie S., Jake M., Zane, Diego B.,  & Connor G.

Homecoming Week 2012

 This week is Homecoming Week.  Yesterday was inside out day--I didn't get any pictures of the kids wearing their clothes inside out.

 Tuesday was "Old School"--So Brienna wore my "puffy" sleeved dress

 and Zane sported an afro-wig along with aviator sunglasses.

 Big hair day was the theme at our house.

 Brienna made her hair as big as she could--I offered to assist her, but she declined  

I actually think that Zane looks good!  Tomorrow is movie-themed day.  Each class picked a movie and they are to dress up as a character from the movie.  More pictures to come!

Halloween Decorations 2012

 For Family Home Evening, We got our Halloween decorations out.

 Emmalee and Ben loved "discovering" all the noisy decorations :)

 Dad read a book to Emmalee and Ben after we finished.

 It's Safety Month so Ben's book was about firefighters and fire drills.

Some of our decorations.

Twister

 After General Conference on Sunday, Zane pulled out the Twister game.

 I think everyone had a fun time being pretzels!  

 Thankfully the camera was NOT out when I took a turn!
