Class of 2014: Brent Robinson

Congratulations to Brent Robinson and the entire class of 2014 South Spencer High School!!

We are proud of you Brent, and the awesome young man that you have become.  We pray that God blesses you in all that you do and that you live a happy and prosperous life!

After everyone received their diploma's, they played a slide show with baby pictures of all the seniors...

The 2014 Class of South Spencer High School! 

After the graduation was over and we were getting back in our car, it dawned on me that 20 years ago this year, I was the one sitting in those chairs graduating!!  

A proud son with his proud parents!

This picture totally cracks me up!  Shawn and Brent are giving the thumbs up sign, and I'm giving the "throw metal sign", or in Brent's honor the hand signal for the number two.  HAHA!!  When Brent was in grade school, Heather and I went to a Kid Rock concert and was "throwing metal".  Well at a school program Brent was in, they were singing the song about the little monkies jumping on the bed and when they got to the two little monkeies jumping on the bed, Brent represented the #2 for the "throw metal sign!"  Heather and I were about to die!

Brent and his little sister Zoe, my littlest BFF!

The Hallelujah Money Lei that Heather made!

 After graduation everyone headed back to the Robinson's for a graduation party!

 

 

And later in the evening I got the sparky idea to make homemade ice cream.....which resulted in a jeep ride, a trip to the store to get ingredients, the school to get ice, yelling and arguments on how to make the ice cream, jeep hair, loud music, cruising Main, and some delicious homemade ice cream!  Thanks to David Bullock for instructing me on how to make it.  It was so yummy!

Uh yeah, that would be Tina standing up in the jeep hanging out the window as we dragged Main Street!!  What memories this brings back! Brent's mom and dad actually met on one of our many, many, many nightly trips up and down Main Street!

The kid's loved siting around Bowen and Heather's new fire pit and roasting marshmellows (and throwing foam cups in the fire and watching them melt!)

Harlem Wizards vs. South Spencer Rebels

Thursday night when I got off work, I drove to Rockport to pick up Beth and Gavin and we headed to South Spencer High School and watched the Harlem Wizards take on the South Spencer Rebels teachers and faculty!  It was a fundraiser event for the marching band. 

 

I had read about the fundraiser on FB and thought I would like to take Gavin. Then my friend Kristi told me that she was playing the ballgame and I knew I was definitely going!  We wanted to cheer her on....and embarrass her too!   And with the help of my friend Brandi, we were able to convince Heather and Zoe to come along, so we had a big ol' cheering section for Kristi!

 

The Harlem Wizards are a lot like the Harlem Globetrotters, but they have more interaction with the kids and the shows are more geared towards the kids.  They also focus more on fundraising and perform at school gyms and smaller venues.

 

What a FUN time of FAMILY, FRIENDLY entertainment! 

 

 

I hadn't been in the high school gym probably since my graduation back in 1994!!

 

Go Kristi!  Whoo!! 

 

 

We all sat on the first couple of rows near where the players came out and the girls were all giggly over the Wizards!

 

 

There was a couple times they picked kids out of the audience to assist them.  Beth asked Gavin if he wanted to go out and he said he did so here he is raising his little hands and waving them in the air for them to pick him.  I really was hoping they would pick him cause he NEVER wants to participate in these activities.  But I also knew if they did pick him, he probably wouldn't want to go out and help!

 

 

What a couple of cuties with their new basketballs!!  Kassidy is my friend Brandi's daughter and her and Gavin are just a couple month's apart in the their age.  They recently became "best friends" at Brandi's dad's birthday party a last weekend.  LOL!  They both go to the same school, but one is in the morning class and the other is in the afternoon class. 

Gavin didn't want his picture taken with any of them while we were getting autographs, so me and Tootie did!

 

 

If the Wizards are ever back at South Spencer or at a school near us, we'll definitely go again!
