Homecoming Parade & Football Game

 Brienna & Lindsay--2 of my favorite seniors!

 Zane on the sophomore float--"Royalty"

 Dulce & Zane on the float.

 Ben had to wear one of the wigs that we had out from Gender Swap day.

 Dulce with Zane during half time--Homecoming royalty.  Sophomore Dutchess & Duke.

 Zane (in orange) playing during the game.  He had been sick since Wednesday (and the game was on Friday) so he wasn't 100%, but he still had a great game.  (Notice Ethan in the background holding the "downs" sign).

 it's official--they've been crowned!

 And smiles that actually show teeth!  Yay!  I have to admit, my son is quite handsome ;)

I love watching Zane play football.  I enjoy it so much, I'm driving across the state to watch him play on Friday (Oct. 11th).  He plays in Fairfield, ID which is about 1 hour east of Boise.  

Beefcake Volleyball & Bon Fire

 Zane didn't end up playing in the Beefcake volleyball because he hasn't been feeling well since Wednesday night.  He got chilled at football practice & then also helped coach the Powderpuff football (it was soooo cold!).  He said he never warmed up.

 Brienna was one of the line judeges for the Beefcake games.

 I knew Zane wasn't feeling well when he fell asleep at 9:30 last night.  And then he came home at lunch to get a shirt to wear under his football jersey & also put on his sweatshirt.  

 Plus, the classes were working on their homecoming floats the last hour of the day & he just laid down on a bench & slept.  (This is the sophomore boys--minus one)

 Zane at the bon fire.  I went with him so he could come home early.  (Plus I always have to get pictures!)

 Jake Mickelsen lighting the fire.

 Callum & his friend Leo.

 I love that Caden's zipper is glowing.

 Lindsay & Brienna.

 I loved that the fire really warmed everyone up!  They're glowing!

 Awesome friends--Lindsay & Brienna

I hope Zane feels better for the game tomorrow!

Callum--Sept. 2000

 The scariest time of my life by far.  

 I love this kid!  Look how far he's come!

 

Callum's Birthday & Homecoming Week

 It's Homecoming Week again--and Brienna's a senior!  Monday was Twin Day.  Lindsay & Brienna were awesome hippie twins :)

 Tuesday was Celebrity Day--Callum was Si Robertson (Duck Dynasty).  He shaved his beard for a hot doughnut ;)

 .

Today was Gender Swap day (Gender Bender).  I didn't get a picture of Zane, but both Callum & Zane "won" today.  They both wore heels, wigs, & Zane wore tights (and was color-coordinated).

So here is Brienna--sporting a mustache & a goatee. 

nice!

Then this evening was Powder Puff Football.   Good thing we play 6-man, because we had 7 seniors on the orange team, & 6 underclass girls on the other team.

warm-ups.  It was stinking freezing today!  and so by 6:30, it was frigid!  About 45 degrees with wind!

This was a bit blurry

Better picture.  Brienna wore Zane's jersey (#61)

It is 10:30 & I have finally thawed out!  I am going to have to find my long johns & other warm clothes for the homecoming game on Friday--weather is supposed to be about the same!

It was dark when they finished--Seniors won, 8-0.

Brienna & Lindsay

2 tough girls!

Callum's Birthday celebration--after the powder puff game.  And Rusty had the 2 youngest at Pack Meeting tonight.  They had a bike rodeo--out in the cold!  So everyone was cold tonight.  (Brienna & Zane took hot baths!)

My camera was acting up after the game (maybe it was too cold) so I had to use my iPod camera.

So the quality of these pictures aren't the greatest.

I love his laugh & smile!  Happy 13th birthday!  

We had hot dogs & homemade mac & cheese for dinner.  And for his "cake"--we had cheese cake.  He put strawberries on while the others had cherry (or plain).  I made 2 this time so everyone could have some.  Actually I made a 3rd one, but w/my coconut sugar & not in the crust.

Tomorrow is black & orange day, so no costumes needed!  What a busy, crazy week.
