{Homecoming Court '09}

During my blogging break, Ashley was involved in her school Homecoming.

She was a Sophomore Representative for the Court.

{Oh, how is pains me to type....SOPHOMORE! My "baby girl" is growing much too fast!}

Since her school doesn't have a football program, they host Homecoming during Basketball Season.

Recognize her escort? ....yes, it's Josh.

She doesn't have a "boyfriend,"

{does my sigh of relief transcend the screen??? LOL!}
...so for the second year in a row, she asked Josh to escort her.

Ashley's friends think Josh is "a hottie," AND he is a SENIOR, so that gives her bragging rights of a sort! LOL!

{But don't tell anyone, the girls swore me to secrecy! ;) }

They were so funny...

Notice in the picture above that both of them have their heads down, as they walked out on the court. Ashley was trying not to trip on the lights and cords, and Josh was concentrating hard, not to step on Ashley's dress.

Ashley is "old school" about some things. At 15, she still believes that formal gowns and Easter dresses should be very big and very fluffy. Crinoline is her friend! She would have fit well into the Southern Bell dresses of the 80's, huh? :)

I included a picture, below, of last year as a Freshman Representative...

Josh said he would gladly escort her next year, if she liked, but she had to get a smaller dress! Much too stressful trying to sideswipe the big skirt!

When the girls are Seniors, they ask their dad's to escort them, isn't that sweet! :)

During half-time, the cheerleaders did a routine with a stunt.
Being a sophomore, Ashley cheers on both the Varsity Squad {girls in black}, and the Junior Varsity Squad {in red shirts, of which she is one of the three Captains}.

This is our last week of games....Varsity Tournament until Saturday,

{at which I am cheering which much enthusiasm!}

As the season comes to an end, the kids ....and parents are ready for a break! :)

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

And Thanks for your encouraging and sweet comments on yesterday's post! It's good to be back! ~Rhonda
