SMS Homecoming

We had a fun weekend joining in on the Shawnee Mission South High Homecoming.

Derek's cousin, Megan, was a candidate for homecoming queen.

We went to the pep assembly and watched her cheer:

Then we ran and frantically got her ready for the next thing...

Being introduced with all the candidates:

I really went along to take lots of pictures.. I did.  Over the weekend I took over 300.  :)

The pep assembly was during the day so Derek was at work.

Aunt Brenda, G'ma Jan and G'pa Gordie occupied my boys while I snapped away...

Cookies help too:

They're busy boys!

 Friday night we went to a pre-game reception for the candidates and families.

 Miles loves having Great Grandparents around... especially when cake is involved!

Then we snapped a bunch more pictures.

Cooper checked out Ryan's yellow cast

...which had WAY more signatures by the nights end!

Ryan is a freshman at SMS and broke his arm in a football game the week before.

After the reception we headed out to the football game.

It was a perfect night for sitting at a game... wonderful weather.

Megan and her parents were introduced with the candidates at half time.

Megan didn't win but had fun being and candidate and all that goes along with it.

And my boys had a great time cheering on the Raiders!

Cooper must have yelled, "Go Raiders!" while fist pumping about 104 times.

Only a couple times did he accidentally yell, "Go Huskers!"  :)

And we got to meet Rocky the mascot.  A great end to a great night.

Cooper hasn't stopped talking about how when he grows up he's going to play football.

...and break his arm!
