...And Homecoming then

As I previously posted, David, me, and my family were at Asa's junior year Homecoming game on Friday night. It was also Alumni Night at Westfield, and it got me a little misty thinking about my baby bro being old enough to play Varsity ball, and how kinda old it makes me feel. Ten years ago, I was a senior, cheering on those same sidelines. Sometimes its hard for me to believe that Asa is 18 years old, and Abbye, at 21, is about to graduate from college. Time flies!
While at home, I took a few minutes to find a few pictures from my high school homecomings. Like most schools, we had spirit week leading up to the football game. Usually, we dressed up on Wednesday and Thursday according to a theme, and then Fridays were always green and gold day. Hope these make you laugh like they did me!

Obviously, this is on camo day. Too funny. Either my and Christen's 8th or 9th grade year. 

This is Amy and me (with one of the seniors, Allison) our freshman year on Homecoming court. Makes me laugh!

As freshman headed to the dance, we met at the Watson's house to take pictures before we got into our limo with our sparkling grape juice. We had so much fun that night - I think we felt really grown up.
L-R: Walt Brannen + Me, Eric Jones + Candice Blount, Griffin Hamsley + Brandi Robles, Amy + Spencer Shugart, and Christen with Clayton Lewis.
Its funny to look back...the guys' clothes are still the same, but short dresses are way more popular with Asa'a schoolmates now.

This was our sophomore year on Twin Day! Linsey, Me, Christen, and Amy were a tight foursome!

This is our junior year on Tacky Day. Christen, Amy (that dress cracks me up!), me Summer, and Lauren.

This is my senior year on Pajama Day.
L-R: Sarah Lipari, Candice Blount, Christen, Me, Olivia Murph, Blair Sexton, and Tammy Barfield.
We were all cheerleaders together, and somehow were all placed in Mr. Crosby's 3rd period study hall. Every day we spent the period in the Cheerleader Workroom, where we are in this pic. We had the best time in there!

This is also in the cheerleader workroom on Nerd Day. Tammy, Me, Christen, Olivia, and Candice.

We chose Haunted Hornet Homecoming as the theme for our senior year dance. Christen's dad, Mr. Draper, is a funeral director and got us seniors 2 hearse to ride in to the pep rally.

That's Chance riding shotgun. We slowly crept around the track until we got back to the home side. It was awesome!

My dad and I for senior homecoming court.

Amy and me with our driver, Nick. He had the greatest convertible and was so sweet to drive us around the track.

Before our senior homecoming dance, we met at Cole's parents' house where a limo took us to eat and then to the dance. Cole was kind enough to escort a bunch of us senior girls to the dance and we had a ball!

This was probably around my junior year, so Asa would've been about 7. What a cute little fellow!

This was the night of my 16th birthday party (remember the leopard ensemble I wore on Twin Day and those black hose? I kept them on for cheerleading practice, hence the weird outfit for the birthday girl). Asa would have been 6 and Abbye would be 9. Aren't they the cutest?

My senior year, Asa was a ball boy for the football team. Here he is wearing his big bro Brince's #14 jersey. I have no idea what he and I are talking about, but I'm probably trying to swipe some water.

And here is Brince in his junior year, and me in my senior year. I loved being a cheerleader while he was a football player!
