MHS homecoming parade and game

So, when we first moved back to Bullhead I was so excited about the Homecoming parade that I took the kids out of school early so we could get a good seat. Ha! Not necessary. I remember out homecoming parades being really cool and having a lot of floats. That year there were only a couple. SO the next few years we opted out of sitting in the heat for a lamesauce parade.

This year I decided for whatever reason to give it another try. I even tricked, I mean, convinced Carly to give it a try. We got a pretty good spot and waited for the parade to start. then we waited some more. and then just for fun we waited some more. Seriously, I don't know what the deal was but it finally started. Sidenote: it was 103 degrees I will never understand why we can't have our homecoming in end of October/November

The kids spent their time waiting finding rocks to throw ;) and Hannah just loves babies! Hopefully, she didn't love Bella too much.

It was disappointing to me, but the kids loved it! We don't really go to a lot of parades so they don't have anything to compare it to ;)

There was a total of 3 floats (maybe 4) Including one with this cute girl on it! Made the entire parade worth it as far as I'm concerned. and a whole bunch of trucks carrying the homecoming royalty and maybe the sports teams but I couldn't really tell.

Some groups passed out melted starbursts and tootsie rolls (i'm telling you it was HOT and we were seated towards the end of the parade route)

Did I mention it was hot? hee hee
Good times Mohave! Maybe next year will be awesome!!

I actually really like going to MHS football games. My kids are actually kinda fun to take now that they are a little older. Homecoming was against Kingman and Kerry's nephew, Skyler was playing. The kids asked if it was okay if we rooted for Skyler if we were sitting on the Mohave side. We did get a couple dirty looks but my nephew is awesome!! And I can't help it if MHS is not so fantastic :)

It was great to be with Kerry's family and the Youngs and even Kasia and little Moses sat with us. I do like living in the town I went to high school in and supporting my alma mater. I can pretend it's not sweltering and they sell nachos :) I'm not sure whose bright idea it was to buy all the kids these super annoying green things, though. I'm secretly hoping they might a sad demise before the next home game

Soccer! Or what our life is lately :)

I have so much to catch up on as usual. We did not finish our 104 things of summer vacation (big surprise there lol) but we did a lot of them and I have a ton of pictures and posts to write. But I'm just gonna jump in to where we are now. school has started

And this is where we are every weekend.

Kerry is coaching Hannah's team with his brother. He claims to know nothing about soccer but I love watching him get excited when the girls are doing good.

Zach is on super good team this year- and it has made him up his game. He scored 2 goals his first game. Zach cracks me up b/c he is so coachable. The first game his team was up by 12 so the coach pulled his stars back and Zach got to play forward I told him that he should try to score a goal or two b/c he probably wouldn't get many chances to play forward this year with the team he has. (he's been playing mid-field a lot an running his little butt off) So he said "Okay" and just went and scored 2 goals in a row! :) Then this last game he was on defense which means he got to stand around a lot since his team is that awesome! But whenever the ball came anywhere near him he made sure to get it back to the forwards. I told him that he doesn't have to wait for the ball to come to him- if he sees it he can run up and take it and he did. It's so funny- like he had just never thought of that before :)

Anyways, I haven't seen a lot of Hannah's games because they always seem to be scheduled for the same time as Zach's and someone has to watch Zach (truthfully I prefer watching his games they are much more entertaining lol) But I did manage to get a few pics with my long range lens. I sat between both games and tried to watch both lol

Zach's team has not come close to losing a game while Hannah's team is just super cute ;) but have not come close to winning a game! but Hannah is having a blast and has such a good attitude all the time.

I'm thankful for the family time and I am thankful our other kids are such great spectators. Becca loves to sit in her "soccer chair" and yell "go BUBBY" or "go Sister" And as long as Jared has an iphone to play with he's good :) SOmetimes it gets really hot- but for the most part we love soccer game days :)
