PHHS Homecoming 2010

These seniors (the "O" is Caitlyn) are ready to cheer on their football team!
Evan was the emcee for the opening festivities. Homecoming is the biggest event for Student Council President and the senior float is a big deal for Senior Class President (it was a campaign promise Evan made to the seniors that they would win the float contest)...good luck E!
Tug of war was one of the festivities.  Here are the seniors beating the juniors!
The football toss was another one.  This is Caitlyn putting her softball pitching skills to work!
And the winners were Grant Hendershot and Zach Dowden...SENIORS!
Here is Ashley, Evan's date to the game and dance...I just love this girl:-)
I love this girl boy!  I thought that you were emceeing E!  I always knew that I would have a cheerleader...he is even wearing my high school colors.  Great mount girls guys!
Hey Chad, quit feeling up Chesty Chase...and Chili, what's up with your skirt!? Things are poppin' up and out of places like I've never seen!
Chili, quit checking out "Chesty" Evan just might deck ya!
Hell"O" Caitlyn!
Alright Junior cheerleaders...off of our turf!
Evan asking Cherry if he would take them around in his golf cart to go get 'em!
And they're off!!!!
And here come the juniors retaliating in a scooter!  Get 'em Chesty!
Here is Ashley telling the "cheerleaders" what cheer to do!
SENIORS WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pictures after the game with the grandma's! Priceless!
And with Caitlyn:-)

Here are some of  the real PHHS cheerleaders.  Caitlyn, Chandler, and Ashley in the first picture and sisters Desire' and Destiny.
Desire' is Graham's girlfriend.  She is off to join him at float building...good luck sophomores!

What a great night.  The weather was perfect and the memories the boys made that night were irreplaceable!

Todd and Evan are off to get the queen...I hope!  They couldn't drive Todd's Porsche because it wasn't a convertible so Tom let Todd drive his...what a friend!!
Here are Evan and Ashley at the park lining up for the parade.
Freshman, sophomore, junior princesses and senior queen candidates.
Queen candidates with their dates.
Ashley, Jamie Hubble and Kaily Hubble...Jamie has always gotten princess and Kaily is her cousin.  I hope that this is Ashley's year:-)
The escorts!
Mr. Hathaway (green shirt), Senora Woerner, and Mr. Lord (boys elementary school principal) were judging the floats...come on SENIORS or SOPHOMORES!
Lining up for the parade!  Karen and Tom, my Mom's and Dad.
 
Isn't my daddy sooo handsome:-)
Here is Graham at the park ready to walk with his float!
This is Graham's sophomore class float. It is a tornado spinning around with Mt. Vernon's helmets, shoes etc. caught in it. 
Graham walking behind the float blowing the vuvuzela all the way!
The seniors float was "Out of this world."
The seniors shirts say, "We do not come in peace!"
Poor Connor!  He was "Takin' to school".  This was the theme for the junior float.
Yay Ashley and Evan...you too Todd
Game time! Desire' is the cheerleader with the black ankle brace.



Waiting for halftime to find out who is queen!
Us too!
Seniors (Caleb, Curt, Chili, and Chesty Chase) are waiting anxiously too!

Graham is still blowing his vuvuzela!


Half time begins! 
SOPHOMORES FLOAT WINS!!!!  You can see Graham in the white shirt (top middle) celebrating his win!  See, Graham...all that hard work putting glittered letters on chicken wire was worth it!  Congratulations!
Is this priceless or what?  This was Evan's expression when he heard the sophomores float won...smile E, your part is next!


YES!  ASHLEY WON!




Ooopsie! The cheerleaders ripped her crown off!

It was such an awesome night! 
Saturday night was the Homecoming Dance.  It is always so nice seeing teenagers all dressed up!


Cody Hunt, Caleb Rogers, Graham and Evan Hart
They're a close group...the girls better get here quick!
Okay, it's getting out of hand!
What a bunch of handsome boys:-)
Here come the girls girl!  The other boys didn't have dates but they all went to eat at Olive Garden and to the dance together. Sam joined them at the restaurant and they had a blast...poor Desire'!
Here's the Prez and the Queen!

oh deer!


I looked out my window and what did I see...a mamma and her babies looking at me:-) For a moment I thought that I was on Fripp! This mamma deer and her babies were enjoying the abundant berries that are at the tip of our property and the woods behind us. I shot this picture from the kitchen window and then I just thanked God for the beauty he put before me during a "time-out" that I was taking from cleaning. This week/weekend is homecoming! I'll post pictures of powder puff game/bonfire, floats, queen crowning (good luck Ashley) and dance pictures. It is always a fun week/weekend.

please pray...

This is my dear friend Della and her son Kody.  Della was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer two weeks ago and has already had a successful surgery.  She will be facing 6 months of chemo and radiation.  Would you please remember her in your daily prayers?  She is young, and otherwise very healthy so I just know that she is going to beat this!!

Also, her son Kody plays for Wabash College on the football team.  It is Kody's senior year and he already has professional football teams looking at him.  He was in a scrimmage game last weekend and has possibly torn his ACL.  This would put him out for the rest of his college career.  Please pray for Kody that healing is quick no matter what the injury is.

The Lemond family also had another blow when Della was in the hospital.  Her sister-in-law, who has been fighting ovarian cancer for many years now, died. 

God is preparing this family for great things as the devil is busy at work trying to tear them down...it won't work Satan, so back off:-) 

Love you Della!

Chad left for the Navy yesterday morning!  He will be in Rhode Island for three months.  He is going in as an Officer because he earned his degree in Criminal Justice while in the Air Force for 4 years.  He is going to be a pilot in the Navy and I couldn't be more proud and frightened at the same time.

(This is Chad and Graham talking after a tennis match) 

Thank you Chad for keeping our country safe and FREE!
Today is a good reminder to everyone to pray for those brave young men and women who did not hesitate to cross the pond to fight for our freedom.  God Bless our country and those who are proudly fighting for it!

summer of 2010 on fripp!!

                            FAMILY FUN!
A day at the "grass courts" (on Callawasee Island) with Grandma Kay, Uncle Troy, Aunt Theresa, Sarah and Sophie
On the links with Chad, Becky, Alan, Kiely, Todd and Evan and Graham in our backyard and at Berkley Hall on Hilton Head Island
Beach time FUN and tanning contest before's and after's! Whatever happened to the days of taking a bag of chips and Oreo's to the beach and veggin' out for the week?  Not these young one's!  Ugh! Veggin' out to them is missing a morning jog and then making it up that evening when it's cooler outside...Oh, YOUTH! I was never that disciplined!
Night time adventures of gator hunting, dancing to VERY loud music with Grandma Kay, golf cart riding, and "Dragon" Evan getting a night time snack!

Family picture time!  The lighting was against us this day because we were having to take the pictures in the morning because Todd's flight was in the afternoon (that's when the lighting is better).  Anyway, I was happy with what we got.  Alan was our official "setter-upper" as you can see him trying to set up the tri-pod and camera for that perfect shot. 
          FRIENDS ON FRIPP!
Brett and Rishi rode down with us and stayed for two weeks.  While they were there Tom and Karen came down for three days. Todd took Brett and Rishi to the airport and then family came in the next day for the 4th! After that Connor flew down for a week and then flew back...(I know my way to and from the Savannah airport like I know my way to and from Marsh here at home!)  The "gang" in the golf cart are Casey, Chaise and Clay.  They have been coming to Fripp ever since they were born two and three times a year and this summer was the first time Evan and Graham met them.  What a nice family and great kids!!!

          ME AND MY HONEY
Thank you so much, honey for working so hard so that we could stay on Fripp for five weeks.  I was super exited to see Todd so I took a "face book" picture of us the night he got in. Tom took the one of Todd and I walking the marsh pier.

 
Todd and I just celebrated our 23 year anniversary!  I know that we only look 23 but...Ha!  I love you soooooooooooooooooooo
MUCH :-)

(fyi, just click on the collages to make them bigger...enjoy!)
