Homecoming 2012

Can you find the White Ninja? 

 

 How about now?

 

 

Jansen went to watch  his first football game (ever) this week for homecoming.  He is a cyclist/paddler/runner, so he had no idea the rules of the game, but he thought the band was pretty cool.   He dressed as a white ninja and his friend was a black ninja.  Shey and I went to dinner, then went for a walk and heard the band playing.  (haven't been to a football game in 20+ years and forgot they have marching bands there, too cool)  So, we headed over to listen to the music and as we are walking through the parking lot Shey spots the white ninja, big as day, sitting in the middle of the bleachers across the field.  Hilarious!

 

 

 

Jansen was voted on the homecoming court this year.   So, he needed to go to the homecoming dance and he asked Sandi to be his date.  Check out the cool green converse shoes!



 Jansen and Sandi.  I didn't get any good photos, but hopefully someone did.

 Awesome tie!

Many, many thanks to Alyce and Paul for their gracious hospitality on our visits over the years.  My Aunt Alyce has been a loving aunt/grandmother/friend to me for 40 years and I can't express how thankful I am to her.  My Uncle Paul is an amazing musician and hard working man who spent many hours taking my father, brothers and sons fishing and crabbing on the Oregon coast and he always finds the time to play/sing for us when we visit.

 

 

 

Mom, it never gets old does it?  Will we ever run out of things to talk about?  (I don't think so)  Thank you for being a wonderful role model, who set standards for us and lives life as you hoped we would.  Thank you for being a close friend and amazing grandparent.  My sons, nieces and nephews never have to wonder if you are thinking of them.  Love you tons and can't wait for our next trip!

 

 

 

Here is a video of our latest trip, set to Paul's acoustic music.
