This year we were able to attend to fun "Adult" Halloween Party! We had a blast. It is so fun to see everyone use their imaginations and play dress up.
I don't have Doug in the pic, but we are a Pimp and a "Working Girl". This is me and Connie. A great friend. She was an 80's work-out girl. I was able to supply her outfit with all my drill team uniforms!
Me, Connie, and Ginny. What fun!
We got together with a bunch of friends for a spooky good time. The kids, and parents, dressed up and got to party down. There were bounce jump houses great food!
Zach wanted to go as a skeleton.
Brett as Jeff Dunham!
Me rocking out again (my kid-friendly costume) with my boys!
Baseball, Baseball, Baseball.....did I mention Baseball? Mon/Tues/Wed/Thurs if you want to find us, we are at Baseball! Zach has joined in. He is playing baseball now. Loving it! He is with some really great friends. He plays Mon/Wed and Brett plays Tues/Thurs. We are all Baseball all the time.
Zach is geared up and ready for his first game!
Zach and great friend Cole. Zach just scored. He is doing really well at bat. Even better and running the bases! His smile says it all. He was so proud of himself! Of course that make mom and dad even more proud! We are loving watching him play!
Ok, I know time marches on...but really, 20yr high school reunion? Wow. Doug helped organize his 20 yr reunion. They had it Sept. 26, homecoming/fair weekend. We had a blast. Doug had an even better time. He enjoyed seeing some classmates while planning the event, but really loved seeing everyone that weekend. First they gathered to make a float, had a float in the parade on Friday. Then, Friday night, some classmates got together at the fair for a small gathering just catching up. Saturday, we got a tour of the school. It was great to see the school and all the changes/growth that has gone on. The homecoming game was at 3pm Saturday. Some went to the game. Then the big party! Saturday night! What fun. We had a great time dancing, catching up with friends, good food, and looking at old pics. and laughing at the way we were!
During the tour, it was not hard to notice that the rotunda has been changed. All the new paint looks good, but still not the same as those old green and white tile walls!
James Lane and me dancing!
Doug with classmate Ruben Cantu.
Great friends, great neighbors! Doug with Wendy and Kathy!
Doug with Danel, and Denise. Doug and Denise have a great history. Denise was always right behind Doug in class. Alphabetical order.......Doug even joked that he would send her a pic of the back of his head so she would recognize him. It was great to catch up with old friends!
I have been told how Brett looks like Doug. Some of the same people then said that Zach also looks like Doug. However, Brett and Zach could not look more different! I do see both traits of me and Doug in both boys, however have always felt they each strongly favor one of us. Brett favors Doug, especially the Socha side....while Zach favors me! Proof below! A picture is worth a thousand words............I have keep silent long enough, now I speak through the pic below.
