National Honor Society and Football Awards Night

Wednesday November 19, 2008 Jake was the fifth Guest kid to be inducted into the National Honor Society. Congratulations Jake!! The ceremony was held in the Henley High School library and immediately following the induction we made haste to the Henley High School cafeteria where the football awards were taking place. Jake got a varsity letter, he got a scholar athlete award (HHS had the 5th highest GPA for football teams in the state). He got two "Hit Man" awards for the biggest hits in a varsity game and the plaque he's holding is the special coaches award he got from the JV coaches.

My Adorable Little Spooksters

The Guest grandbabies were as cute as can be for Halloween this year. Jessica loves to watch Star Wars, so she got to be a beautiful Princess Leia, and Bradlei was an adorable little Ewok. Xander charmed Tyler's co-workers as a handsome kangaroo.....

The Ghosts of Halloweens Past....Part 1

Since I posted my cute little goblins from Halloween 2008, I decided it would be fun to take a stroll down memory lane, and make a post about Halloweens from the past. I had a little bit of a hard time placing the pictures. Hopefully I'll get this figured out in the near future, but for now you'll have to look past that and just enjoy the pictures of the Guest children through the years. I also made this in two parts because it was becoming a beast of a project. I love you guys....enjoy!










Halloween 2008...Josh and his friend Nat...which one is the real Waldo, and where are they? Jake and Katie didn't get to dress up this year because Halloween was on a Friday and Jake had a football game, and the middle school band got to play at the high school football game that night....so we were all at the game and our next door neighbors, the Swans, passed out our candy for us.
