RHS Homecoming Game & Dance

Photo Taken By Gretchen Rokosky

Oh how the kids grow! Billy will be 17 in another month...his gf of two years will be 15 in the spring. Last night was their High School Homecoming football game. It was freezing out...literally at 31 degrees...clear as a bell with a beautiful full moon. Nothing specatular; with the exception that our team won by two points and the skin of their teeth (the opposing team was on the 2 yard line with posession with 15 seconds on the clock!). Billy suffered through the cold and left Nicole wear his letter jacket all night. His new drums finally came in (they've been on backorder since July)...so here he is marching with his brand new Quints! BTW, he is playing his solo in the song Crazy Train in this pic. And, as usual, this wonderful, perfectly clear pic was taken be fellow band mom and reporter Gretchen. I was at the fb game...helped the kids get their uniforms and everything and never noticed until Gretchen sent me this photo that Billy's new drum carrier goes UNDERNEATH his uniform jacket! So cool to see the whole uniform! OK, so after rereading this post, maybe the night/weekend was pretty specatular! :)

This picture is my doing...with my plane-jane digital camera.

Tonight is the Homecoming dance... Nicole really is beautiful when she isn't making snoots at the camera! ;) Her parents won't let her ride with Billy; so her mom took them to a later afternoon movie (Jackass2), out to dinner and to the Homecoming dance. I took them to Walmart & Eat and Park last night after the game and will be picking them up after the dance.

Billy was a little depressed because he sooooo wanted to take the Mustang to the dance...he's holding out hope for the Prom! So here they are posing with *my* car!
