Last weekend we kicked off competition cheer season at "Meet the Tribe" in Birmingham. Thankfully our schedule is much better than last year...we are only competing one weekend a month November through April. The girls have been practicing since May so they are more than ready for competition time to be here!
Terann, Sydney, and Lilly traveled with us. Lilly ended up going with us because at the last minute her dad got sick/hospitalized so her parents couldn't go. She was the perfect 3rd girl...no trouble what-so-ever!
It takes some serious concentration to get their hands/guns just right for a picture...all while holding their leg up in the air at the same time.
Ready to start a new chapter in her book with ACE of Jackson...I'm just thankful for no more skulls.
We couldn't be more proud of her hard work and determination...lots of pressure to only be 7, and she handles it like a champ and loves every minute of cheering!
Excited to see what this year brings for her and her squad...
Leaving the hotel to go meet the rest of their squad...
Yes, we have time for a quick picture while waiting on the elevator!
One of my favorite pictures of the day...such joy and excitement on this little face!
Be sure to take a look at her face...NO make-up this year...Terann and I couldn't be more excited! Getting ready was so easy...they can wear all the red lipstick they want if we don't have to do that crazy eye make-up!
Walking to the convention center...so fun watching them as a squad and the friendships they are making with each other.
Even in the midst of the craziness, they are still 7/8 and "little" girls playing hand games while they wait to warm-up.
Ava, Raylin (precious friend on the Treasures squad), and Anna Lauren...
Loving on one of the big girls and one of her favorites, Kaitlyn Tapper...
Always a treat to watch the Treasures perform...this sweet little girl is a friend from church. This was her first competition...her parents looked like a deer in head lights, but she appeared to be loving it!
Her favorite place to be...on the stage performing!
One of my favorite pictures from their routine...
These girls blew us away...if you had seen them practice the week before, you would have said no way! However, they pulled it together and HIT every stunt...so proud of them!
If they only knew how lucky they were to have their dads so involved...and these three dads wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. We probably couldn't make them stay home!
And we ended the weekend all smiles after a great performance...it's going to be a good year!
