HOCO 2025 for Corbin

Corbin went to Homecoming last night. His cutie date, Georgia S is from Pea Ridge and she and Corbin go to different schools but hang out in the same friend group. She is just lovely in every way and they had a great time! 

Corbin loves to look nice. It’s so fun to play dress up with him, and extra kind of him to let me make outfit suggestions. I took him shopping for new slacks for church and orchestra because he has outgrown the ones we bought a year ago. They were well loved! I presented a couple blazer and 4 shirt 2 tie options to him. We had a pic of Georgia’s dress and came up with this combo and he requested peach flowers to match her Nikes. Done and done!

Gotta get a few pics with everyone’s favorite “bromance”, Ammon and Corbin are such a funny duo. Actually, Corbin with ANYone is a funny duo…he is hilarious. but Ammon also has us in stitches often.

Another fun thing, Carly’s daughter, Savannah P, came for the weekend to attend the Alex Warren concert with cousin Avery P, and was lined up for a hoco blind date with Chase W. Children of besties are destined to become besties as well, right? Do they like even get a choice? How much force of influence can I really pull off here? 

We like to play “high, low, Buffalo” with the kids at dinner time to get conversations going. They can share something great (high) something disappointing (a low), and something silly, funny, or unexpected (Buffalo). I think everyone’s Buffalo was Annalise’s date, Richard A, rolling up in these gigantic Rick Owen’s/pit viper style larger than life sunglasses. To get the kids to lighten up a bit, Aaron put them on, and the desired results were achieved immediately. 😂😂 Buffalo!

I took Ammon and Corbin with me to pick flowers at Tuckaway for boutonnieres and bouquets. We couldn’t find peach and the florist was closed, so I stopped by my friend Aurielle’s amazing garden and bought stems from her for 4 bouquets. When I made them, I felt prompted to put together one extra bouquet and brought it with me to photos. Corbin thought this was crazy but carried them out for me, and when we discovered just one of the girls had come without a date. There were a few guys there stag as well, but only one girl. We knew the extra flowers were for her. Just a little thing, but reaction was priceless when we handed them to her and said, these are for you! As if it was always the plan—-and really, it was. 

I took this photo with the sole purpose of giving Carly fomo and lure her into accidentally getting on a plane out here. I not succeed in summoning her but she did get FOMO. Ha payback for her getting to visit with my girls in Utah a couple weeks ago. I love her and she hugs either a fierce grip exactly like Carly does. 

My view as we drove to pictures together. Corbin has been my ride along for so long, I don’t know what I’ll do with another one of my sidekicks being independent and driving themselves to all the things. I’ll have to instal an emergency play hip hop button on the stereo so it feels like he’s there. We’ve had a lot of good talks while in the car. Some of our best, actually. I love this cute concentrated face much!

Jessica took gorgeous photos of the group. She’s super talented and these sweet girls are all beautiful subjects! 

They had photos, ate dinner at Torchys, got frozen custard at Andy’s, skipped the dance altogether and went straight to an after party at the Bellst, where they enjoyed the hot tub and byu football game. 

No one wants the embarrassment of having ti be picked up by a parent, so I tried to make the experience as painless as possible. I pulled up with fresh chocolate chip cookies straight from the oven. Ride with mom = boo, hiss? 👎🏻 👎🏻. But ride with mom AND homemade cookies that are still warm? Yay!! 👍🏻👍🏻
