Getting Ready

For Family Home Evening we made signs to hang-up around the house and to take to the airport to welcome Elder Derek Burgess home from his mission.

Friday Night Lights!

I love High School Football ...even when we haven't won a game in a couple of years, it is o.k. because I see progression in our team. And in a couple of years this team will be unstoppable! Last night was HOMECOMING! My husband and all three of our children graduated from this High School.

Last year the Skaggs family donated the money to build a new football/track stadium. It is now located right behind the "new" high school. It is pretty darn fancy...maybe a little to fancy for high school but it is all good right...well right until you come to LIGHTS...Yep, as the planning team put in astro-turf and high end track turf, sound system and more bleachers. Someone forgot to budget in the lights! So, some great people in the Burley area donated A LOT OF MONEY and last night we had FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS! Our first 2 home games had to be played at 4:00 pm...so, this was very exciting. The lights are amazing! At the old field there were dark spots everywhere...and I think they were using 50 Watt bulbs from 1960, so this was like going from candles to electricity! Yea, that big of a deal.

With Homecoming comes the Royalty.

wish you could see how tight these girls hands were clinched as they named the 2008-2009 BHS Home Coming Queen...It was so darn cute

And the winner is MISS BECK!!! She is such a sweetheart! I was so excited for her. Hey, and while you are looking at the pretty smiles. Notice the modesty of their dresses. Total CLASS if you ask me.

Oh...the winner of the HOME COMING GAME.....the other team, but it was still fun to watch!
