Anticipation

GO Steelers GO!!!!!!!!! Mr. Bettis ready and waiting. I had a piece of Steelers fleece and I tied it as a scarf around his neck. Although he is not cooperative for clothing (he and Sissy have a lot of the same traits) he's looking mighty dashing at the moment.
It took 20 minutes of following him and putting up with his jumping etc to get this one photo.





Homemade chili and cornmuffins are on the menu for the game. We're going to my parents to enjoy the party. The DH is thrilled. They have a big screen tv and apparently watching a game on a big screen is the best.
I don't get into football quite as much as he and the DD but I join in the fun anyway:)


.

Enjoy the game if you're watching it. If not, enjoy the day anyway.

Go Steelers Go!

I am not much of a football fan but when one lives with two avid fans, one soon learns to become "one of them." LOL . I could cheer for the opponent (Ravens) but since I don't know much of what is going on in the first place, I'll just cheer for the favorite in this household crowd. (sounds a lot like the Nov election, doesn't it? )

I'm off to don my black and yellow.
Enjoy the game, Son and DIL!!!!!!!!!!!

p.s. Interesting when one can't voice an opinion in America, isn't it?:) What happened to freedom of speech?

The Last Homecoming II

The band director took a picture of the band/dance team seniors in the football players helmet. The first and the last to be taken in the helmet for these kids.






Playing the Piccolo is one of the many instruments the Field Captain plays. She also plays steel drums and the tenor saxophone. This kid loves music.






Cheering her team and loving every moment of it.

And this folks, is the winning score. We WON! Our team was the guest this year and let me tell you, both teams played an awesome game and gave this town something to talk about and to enjoy.

Not only did our school take the Traditional Kettle back from the opposing team but ESPN Great American Rivalry was on hand and presented our school with a trophy. Only 20 rivalry teams are chosen a year for this honor and the winning team of this game recieved the trophy.

This young man is a classmate of the Field Captain. He was a star football player until a tragic car accident last Feb. An awesome and quiet young man who has nothing but respect for others. The team wore the #2 (his football #) on their shoes and another player wore his jersey in this game. This is the true meaning of friendship and team spirit. This was a very special Homecoming.

The Last Homecoming I

The very last Homecoming with a family member in school culiminated in style. Locker decorating began last weekend. The DH and I spent quite a few hours getting the locker "just right." What you can't see is a band logo sweatshirt, 12 bottles of vitamin water, a red duffle bag with her name and Senior embroidered. The duffle bag is loaded with candy, snacks and goodies and a toothbrush. Yes, a toothbrush. It's something the Easter Bunny has done for years in this house and Homecoming is no exception:).

Red & White Day. She wore the hat that she knitted. Now she has orders to fill........LOL









Tie Dye Day. She and a long time friend went shopping the previous week. They had a ball choosing this outfit. They tie dyed the socks and had a great time. They turned out cute.







The game started at noon yesterday. Here she is directing the 2nd movement of the band show.

As Field Captain she directs the band on cheering. Here she is "getting down" with the school's favorite cheer.
