KHS Homecoming was extra fun this year. Alaina was nominated for Homecoming Queen and she won! I missed the pep rally but was there for the parade and the football game. :)
The parade was great fun but boy was it hot!! The temperature was almost 90 degrees! We all agreed that we are
done with those kinds of temperatures. We stood in front of the do jang, just like we have for about a decade. I have many photos of these two standing in this very spot. :)

I joked that this is a photo of Jackson with his '3 Moms'. Not really kidding!! :D Kris spends a LOT of time with Jackson running sound at church. I am thankful for each of these ladies influence on Jackson's life. He is blessed!!

Here comes Alaina! It sure was nice of Lovegreen Motors to provide the car for Alaina to ride in the parade. Jeremy chauffeured and Cody rode shotgun. :)
 |
Ha! Alaina making a camera sign to be sure we
would take photos... has she MET us? ;)
We were ON that job! :D |
 |
| Alaina with her escort, Stu |
Shonda and I were standing there taking photos when Jeremy obliged our efforts by driving right over to where we were standing. :D I think other folks wondered what on earth was happening at first... then I'm sure the sight of the two of us standing there taking tons of photos with huge smiles on our faces explained it all. :)
 |
| Jeremy driving right up to us! :D |
 |
| Queen Alaina (which made Shonda 'the queen mum') :D |
Then there was Alicia with her track kids... stopping along the parade route to have them run laps around her cart then drop and give her pushups! Captain Lish working them hard!! :D

We all ran home to shower (!) after sweating our way through the parade, then met up again at the football game.

| Stu and Alaina being introduced at halftime |
Apparently Stu hadn't filled out the section on 'hobbies' that was turned in for the introduction, so somebody filled it out for him. This was about the time we all heard over the loudspeaker that Stu 'enjoys bird watching and long walks on the beach with his dog'. Poor guy! :D
 |
| I bet he fills out the paperwork next time! ;) |
This series of photos makes me laugh. Alaina was doing double duty during the halftime show. She was introduced as Homecoming queen, but she is also the lead snare on the drum line. You can see her listening for her cue to take off and get ready to be a part of the (already assembled) marching band...
 |
| and there she goes!! |
 |
| running back to get ready to march |
 |
| Jeremy was back there with her drum ready to go |

 |
| crown back on... ready to go! |
 |
| she was easy to spot on the field! :D |
 |
We got a kick out of Jeremy and Bryan holding up the
big red M (for Marvel Comics). Good job, Dads! |
I was glad that Shonda got this 'stealth' photo for me of Jonathan. He was sitting with his buddies several rows behind our little group - trying to ignore us, I am sure. :D You can see Jonathan and just to his left you can see a little of his friend, Nathan.
