Kent City Homecoming '09
The festivities started with dress-up days on Monday-Friday. Having boys, they weren't too excited about dressing up but they did participate some of the days. Then of course, they have a fun day on Friday with class competitions.... Here are a few pictures of Tyler competing....a spoon/ball relay, the caterpillar and the hula hoop.













Unfortunately, I didn't take any of these....so I didn't get any pictures of Troy competing =(!!

We attended the Football game after eating at the Alumni Dinner...shocking as it was...they WON! 42-6...must have been since we attended!




Saturday Night Homecoming Dance





Tyler and his date...Emily Obenauf





here he is putting on the corsage.

One last picture before they headed to Applebee's for dinner.

This is a picture Emily had on her FB...I thought it was fitting to post this pictures! Aren't they cute? The girl on the left is Shelbie Williams, Emily is in the middle and Tyler on the right. The picture was taken at Dad & Mom's house.

Sweet Solitude.....

Okay....call me a insensitive mom...but going back to school is a good thing in my book.....

Tyler is a Sophomore.........Troy is in 8th grade........and Trent is in 1st.

BTW...Tyler is getting a hair cut tonight!
Troy and his friends heading out.....not wanting their picture taken!
Trent by his locker.......not wanting his picture taken!
Trent at his desk......not wanting his picture taken!
What is wrong with his kids and pictures??? All I hear is, "Come on Mom!!"..."Pllllease, NO pictures!". You know, some countries don't have cameras and they CAN'T take pictures of their kids going to school!

They had a great first day.....I guess.....as much as boys will share with their mom! Troy was pretty excited to hear, some of his, not so favorite teachers had retired! Trent has some of his friends (Carson, Dolan) from church in his class so he liked that. His locker buddy is Shawn Anderson, a lady I worked with grandson. Tyler says his class rooms are to far apart and he can't make it to his classes on time and none of his friends are in his lunch hour! Dad says it was so quite he could get his work done! Mom says she ran errands by herself and had lunch with dad....YES!

Back to school...

Here are the boys on the morning of the first day back to school '07.

Tyler was very excited to get his picture taken for this family memory.

Trent has had a rough start as a Kindergartner! For some reason he isn't real fond of staying! He would kinda like me to hang out with him all day! I thought by the third day he would be okay with staying...nope! We will see what Friday holds. I think maybe Steve should try taking him?!? This is so unlike him it just baffles us. After going to pre-school and church you would think he would be used to getting left?! I'm just thinking after tomorrow we will have to start all over again on Monday!

Tyler says High school is going well as a Freshman and Troy has mastered his combination on his locker in the 7th grade hallway. No tears for either of them!

We have one kid in every school...what were we thinking!

I'm so behind on my postings....I have about 3-4 posts I wanted to get to. So....I'm going to go backwards and play catch up.
