Meagan and Macie CHEER!

I have LOTS of things to blog and hopefully I will be able to get them done over the next few days...hopefully!! (I am about to have a crawler on my hands so we will see!) A couple weekends ago we were FINALLY able to go to Texas and watch my nieces cheer competition! We had a great time and just LOVED getting to watch them! While we were there my cousin Jonathan surprised the kids and came to my sisters house and spent the night and spent all day Saturday with us at the comp. and then back to her house for dinner and some play time. Our kids just love Jon, he is SO great with them and we are going to miss him SOOO much when he leaves for a year for Africa...ok we aren't going to talk about that!!
Anyway, on to the cheer comp! Both of my nieces cheer for a competitive team. Meagan has for a couple years now and Macie started this year. Due to scheduling conflicts and crazy life, we have not been able to attend one of their competitions until now. And we picked a good one! This one was only 1 day and both girls competed within an hour of each other and we were out! Didn't have to stay ALL day (or 2) like they normally do!

Although we did not have to wait ALL day, it was still a long wait for Braden and Kelsee. She ended up giving up and slept through both girls cheering (which is probably good cuz I might have dropped her, squeezed her, thrown her up...who knows!:) And as you can tell, Braden somewhat found some entertainment...even a football stadium full of lil girls wasn't that appealing to him. (Insert Mommy sigh here!!)

As you can see in these pix (and the pix don't even do it justice) the girls have to wear LOTS of make-up. Not only is it a lot of make-up...it is pure GLITTER! Kaylee wanted to try some...not too much though. :)
Unfortunately I do not have any pix of the girls cheering. :) Kaylee recorded Macie's cheer and then I was trying to take pix of Meagan and didn't realize the camera was still on video so needless to say I had on cute shoes and the lady in front of us had on a black shirt! LOL!!

As I told you already, our kids LOVE our cousin Jonathan! He is such a great guy and is VERY good to them! They were super excited to see him come in Friday night and had a great time with him all day Saturday. We are so proud of him for his choice to serve in our United States Army, and although we know he is excited about going to Africa, we are going to miss him terribly!

Oh and Macies team got 9th out of about 13 or so teams and Meagans team got 2nd (not sure how many)!! WAY TO GO GYMN STAR!!!
