So when I asked Rhett Thys' mother, Stephanie why the unique name, she had a unique answer.
"I told my husband when he asked to marry me that as long as the first boy could be named Rhett... I would say yes."
:)
Mama Stephanie has her ground rules!
With that established, the Thys' first born was destined to be Rhett. But do you wanna know something crazy? Mr. Thys attends Class 1A HLV High School in Victor. Senior class 26 people. 1/13th of the senior class is named Rhett! Who'd a thunk it?!?! Two out of twenty-six! Not sure what the odds of that are... but it ain't good ones!
Speaking of oddity in names, we've had a steady stream of Warriors from HLV make it our way over the years. Most notably, three families in particular have helped keep us afloat.
The DeBrowers. The DeRyckes. The Dentels.
Thank goodness the Thys' showed up, or I was beginning to think that the good folks in Victor made it a requirement to have a last name that began with "De" to reside there!
Enough with the names... what kinda kid did we have on our hands.
Rhett's passion lies in his legs... specifically where they can take him... and how quickly. An avid runner who has steadily climbed his way into one of the state's elite Class 1A Cross Country runners. Rhett has a realistic goal to be in the top 10 to 15 in the state this fall... and I won't be surprised to see him make it.
He had done a little homework about our studio and the one thing he HAD to have was one with his running shoes on fire. Mission accomplished. That wasn't enough, however... he also has a killer sports collage (featuring cross country, of course!) and... the cherry on top was a brainchild that we BOTH came up with. I spied that Rhett had a Nike GPS watch. I only knew what it was, because I had purchase one for my wife a few weeks back. We got to talking about how cool they are and how much data it tracks for you and such... when it dawned on us. Wouldn't it be cool to take one of those Nike maps that it generates for you and make that the background? Bingo. Done. Needless to say, Rhett... my wife was highly impressed with the times. She's got some serious work to do to get on your level. ;)
Oh we had to squeeze in a few other things... like FOUR more outfits... which surprisingly, Rhett was totally okay with. The fishin' pole was a must, and we had a beautiful day for it. I'm not so sure that Mama Stephanie wasn't having just as much or MORE fun than Rhett... which I'm good with. If memory serves.. there's 3 more Thys' on the way eventually... and I will be more than happy to let some more Warriors dash over to Montour.
