Poky's Musical "Bye, Bye Birdie"

Almost entire cast...What a fun musical! They all had so much fun! Here are Parker and Hayley with Linda the choreographer (in peach) and Kaileen in red is the Director! They are amazing and know how to put on a great show!
Parker and Sean Mullett. Sean is a freshman this year and was the Lighting guy! He controlled the lights and spotlights. He did a very good job. He is so silly & just jumped right into Parker's arms for about 2 seconds and then jumped back down. Parker's been a fun mentor to him.
Closing Night. Hayley got flowers and Parker got a honkin stack of candy! They are so cute together and are such good friends. It was very cool that they could do this together before he graduates in a few months.
Parker played a reporter, a father, and a teenager. Hayely played the part of Helen and got to star in "Telephone Hour". They both appeared many many times in the show. Here they are with Bryson (hugging Hayley) he played Hugo. In the back is Curtis Mitton who played Kim's little brother and Seiji Wood who played Conrad Birdie. His black eye is courtesy of Hugo! All such good friends and they had a blast together!

Parker turns 18!!!

After a very disappointing Senior Year in Marching Band, the band members chipped in together and baught Parker this mixer to use for his beatboxing! Parker was in shock and could barely speak. He lead the band with such pride and encouragement, but finally broke down in St. George; the band members knew how much he cared & it was a pretty tender few minutes. Parker's friend Hadley came up with the idea & pitched it to both busses of kids & man did they hand out money...and all for Parker to get this mixer. Hayley got Parker some amazing cologne!
Parker rarely wants Birthday Cake...His favorite is Mom's chocolate fudge. So we stick candles in fudge for him! He loves it!
Here's some of the band after their Christmas Concert. From Left to Right it's : Jake, Tyler, Parker, Robert, Hadley, Alex & Paul. This had been a fun concert & Parker got to beatbox once again.
After the concert Hadley revealed yet another surprise!! You can't see it very well at all, but the band lead Parker out to his car & showed him that they collected enough money, to also get him personalized license plates: "BEATBOX". I helped a little to get it all done!

Last Marching Season of High School :-(

Final Pose Parker held after the "Raging Machines" performance was done. Although the show was confusing to those who didn't know what it meant, it always brought chills to see everyone so dark & fierce looking. Especially Parker in front of them all. Here is the final salute once show is done. Everyone throws off their "red" and bares their masks to the stands & judges. It actually was pretty cool. Here is the band in St. George just after their performance walking back to our spot. Everyone was so tired and ready for a break!
Color Guard being a bit silly striking a poser of Craziness!
Here's cute Hayley while warming up for the big show in St. George

Homecoming Dates & Dance!

Because Hayley is Homecoming Royalty, she had to go to the Homecoming Dance, but this presented a problem because she's not 16 yet. Jordan is a close family friend and he and Hayley have been great friends for along time. Jordan hangs out with Parker a lot too and is at our house nearly every day. He asked me if it would be ok if he took Hayley to the dance...and could I just take them. He was so cute...I couldn't say no. He was so sweet to her.
Here I've just dropped them off on the curb. They are ready for some fun!

Hayley and I picked up Jordan at his home. He did great, matching pale yellow shirt - he looked awesome and oh the sparkle in his eye when Hayley walked in. It was too fun!

Jordan puts on Hayley's corsage - it was so beautiful. I didn't get a shot of her putting on his flower...oops!

This group of 8 had a great time together. The other 3 couples had a day long day date. But Katie had some family things to do and Parker had a Marching Band Show - so they just got together for dinner & the dance.

Katie loves this! So fun!

Parker and Katie...such a cute couple! They are great friends and decided to do a re-do since they went together last year!

As pretty as she is here...Can you believe he made her dig in a can of Crisco to find his name in the Ingredients. She fell for it to and dug thorugh it, but he'd written his name across the "ingredients list" on the outside of the can. Mean, but so fun! She was excited.

She answered him at the Mr. PHS pageant. After his talent part of the competition she had the MC's announce that the certain someone he asked to Homecoming said YES!

So fun together. Katie makes me laugh so hard - she is a fun fun girl. Parker loves being with her - they have so much fun!

Dinner was a very good General Tso's chicken salad with all the toppings dreamed of. They had cheesy bread and cake. Linda & Lori did all the decorations and tried to make it fun for them. They dined to my 80's music on Records! Turns out, they Love Beach Boys Endless Summer!

Idaho State University Homecoming Parade

Sat. Sept. 25th - ISU's Homecoming Parade and Poky's Homecoming Royalty got to be in it. Here is the Homecoming Queen (Tavia) and her 1st (Emily) & 2nd (Emerald) Assistants. They flex their muscles and show their real grit! Fun Girls
Hayley and Mackenzie had a dead on tie for Sophmore Duchess. They are super good friends so this was a huge relief to them. They are riding in Mackenzie's grandpa's bug that he fixed up. They had a great time!
That bug was so cute! Oh, and so are the girls!
This is the Freshman Lady and Junior Princess.
The sign says it all! What a fun day! Hayley loved her very fun and special Homecoming Week! Now to get some rest...big dance tonight!
