Busy and Exciting Weekend

This was a very exciting weekend around here. Friday night was the Homecoming game. We all attended the game. During halftime Marissa's dad and I walked with her and the other nominee's onto the field where they announced the winners. SHE WON FOR THE FRESHMAN ROYALTY . Her title is Lady Monsoon. It was a very proud and exciting moment. The Freshman boy that won was her very good friend Matt who has been in her class since 3rd grade. It was so cute that each of them WON!! Their school won the game too! Saturday night was the dance. She went with her best friend as her date since she can't date yet. She got to dance with Matt during the Royalty dance. She had a great time! Not to forget the little ones. They went to a birthday party for a friend of ours daughter. The girls got their faces painted. Hannah is a dog and Ashlyn got a heart. They also had a great time.

This Morning

Everyday Ashlyn goes to school she asks if I will take her in the wagon and walk to school. I keep telling her not until October, because it is to hot. She keeps asking! So today I gave in and walked the 8 blocks to school with her and Aidan in the wagon. Yes it is still to hot to do this, but we did this anyway. On the way back Aidan laid down and cuddled up with the water bottle. I think he liked the movement of the wagon and the warm sun on him and it was to bright out. He fell asleep before we got home. It was so cute.

Homecoming Nominee

Last Friday Marissa was nominated for Freshman Royalty for her Homecoming. She was so surprised. There are 5 nominees out of the 700 in her freshman class. This week has been very busy getting her dress, shoes, and jewelry. (They actually treat Homecoming similar to Prom these days.) She also had to make a sign to wear all week and participate in every silly Spirit Week event this week. So everyday it is something around here. The game is Friday night and they will announce the winner during halftime. The dance is Saturday night. We'll let you know next week if she won. (Here she is with her sign she had to wear all week.)
