Pearce Pass Down Ceremony

Yesterday I sat in the Pearce gymnasium for the final pep rally of the 2009-2010 school year. During the final pep rally, the officers from each of PHS' organizations Pass Down their role to the new officers or designated representatives (if officers have not been named) for the next year.

Blake and two other juniors walked to the center of the court where they met three senior men wearing UGLY plaid blazers. The juniors turned around, knelt and stuck their arms straight out behind them. The seniors removed their jackets and put them on the juniors thus naming them the new Captains of the Blazer Crew. The juniors stood and raised a fist in triumph as the crowd roared with laughter.

Blazer crew members attend Pearce sporting events where they help to generate crowd enthusiasm by yelling chants and generally acting obnoxious. Blake seems to be excited about his new role and is wearing his new blazer around the house. It is an ugly woman's jacket from Talbot's with cranberry, yellow, navy, green and tan plaid. He will now have another activity to add to his college resume. I'm so proud.

Blake also participated in the Pass Down for the football team where he thinks he may be named a captain. He is also hoping to be a captain on Stampede.

Happy Birthday Beverly

I told Bub that I would post a little birthday present for her on the blog.

(If one of the videos won't play, drag the timeline arrow a bit to the right and that should get things going.)

These scintillating, high-def videos were taken with my cell phone during the Superbowl. Baby Boy LOVES football! You can tell because he can't take his eyes off of the action. My camera and I were dead to him.

I realize that Bubba might not appreciate the videos as much as the rest of us because she sees this kid every day—she's SO LUCKY!!

Here's a pic you haven't seen Bub:

Gotta love those cheeks!

Happy Birthday, Birthday Girl!!
