Softball Awards Banquet

We went to the softball awards banquet last week. Woo-hoo. Hannah was named Offensive MVP and got big praise for her consistently strong hitting. She was also recognized as the queen of left field, which she took over about half way through the season and had everybody wondering why in the heck she hadn't been playing left field her whole life. She OWNED it!

She is on a backpacking trip this week, then has graduation Saturday, June 4th. Sorry if the announcements are late. We were trying to get a photo shot to include and the Utah weather has not been at all cooperative.

Well, here are some photos I know you will enjoy, and one in particular that will remind you who Hannah's hero is.

Photos, hopefully

Hannah's Prom

As many of you know, because I have called and asked for advice!, Hannah went to the senior prom last night with her good friend Philip and a wonderful gaggle of other friends. We counted back and we are pretty sure she hasn't worn a dress since the 8th grade, so this was a pretty big deal. Thanks to Aunt Chris for the hair tips. We scrunched her natural curl a bit and then pulled the front back with the bobby pins as you recommended. She really like it. And as you can tell from Philip's cute red cheeks, he liked it too. Of course, he arrived early, so had to sit and chat with Dave (no, no shotguns in sight) while she pulled on her first pair of panty hose and we got her into her shoes. When she walked down the stairs he said, "Oh Hannah, you look lovely!" Then we had the tying on of the wrist corsage, and me pinning on the boutonnière, because there was no way Hannah was going to do it. Sounds like they did more talking and laughing than dancing because the music was way too loud. But Hannah had a great time. Ah, another milestone.

Well, unfortunately the blog is not letting me post photos, so I will post this and see if I can figure out what is going on, and post the photos.
