Homecoming 2011~ The girls looked beautiful and the boys looked handsome. Mitch had a great time. He was chosen as the sophomore representative on the court so we were able to sneak in to the dance, 'eavesdrop" a little and snap some pictures. Abby got a preview of what she would get to experience next year...not sure she was all that impressed! For further details, please call Lisa, as I am not permitted to divulge any more than this on the blog! (and if you are confused about which girl was Mitch's date, join the club!)

Mitch turned 16

                                                                     Happy Birthday Mitch!

Mitch had a very low key 16th birthday. He (and Abby) had a football game on his birthday and practice/games every other night during the week, so a few days before the actual day, we took him to Charlie Ghitto's to watch him carbload on all his favorites! Then, thursday after his birthday, I took him out of school early to get his license. He passed his driving test after being gone for approx 10-15min. Does this concern anyone? :)

The Wildcats played at the Dome...no big deal

                                                          Oh my gosh...what a hunk

                                                                     the cutest

                                                       cheering on our beloved Wildcats

September 10, the football team had the opportunity to play at the Edward Jones Dome (home of the Rams) in "The Great High School Football Rivalry". We played one of our rivals, Marquette High School. Not only did we beat them 49-0 (ouch), our fans outnumbered them at least 5-1. We have spirit, yes we do! And, Abby got to stand in the tunnel with her cheer squad to welcome in the team. It was a family affair! Go Cats...and a message to our competition...you can't fight the purple! To watch the game in it's entirety go to http://www.ihigh.com/.  You know you want to!  ;)

Abby's Birthday: Part 2

                                                                      "the birthday girl"

                                                                           "carefree"

                                    trying to get the sea doo off the ramp...it takes lots of muscle!

                                                                  "Hunks on the lake"

After the football game we headed straight to the lake for the rest of Abby's birthday/Labor Day weekend. Abby brought Julia and Mitch brought Kyle. We had some quality lake time at Nannie and Poppie's lakehouse. It's sad to think another lake trip is probably a year away. It can't be true!

Abby turned 14 this weekend. She started off the day by cheering her first game of the season in 105 degree heat! What a trooper. The entire football team and cheer squad sang to her. How cute is that! Happy Birthday Abby! We love you!
