Cheer Banquet 2018

Hi y'all!
I'm a bit behind due to spring break and other stuff . . .
but didn't want to forget the
end of the year Cheer Banquet!
Yes, it's true, cheer is over for the 2017-2018 school year!

Missing sweet JV cheerleader Christine who was ill

The banquet is a fun evening and dinner for the girls
and parents and it's not a potluck!!
It's catered and seriously YUMMY!
Plus, I didn't have to cook a single thing!

We watched a video of the entire cheer year and the 
graduating seniors all spoke on their future plans.
The first thing that each senior said was,
 "Thank you to my Mom and Dad for supporting me in cheer, 
sending me to Pius and paying for all the cheer uniforms and activities."
The banquet was held on the night of some of NCAA final 16 bball games.
There may or may not have been a few dads watching games
on their cell phones!  Mr. Tennis didn't watch, but he did manage
to check in with one of the other dads who was watching! :)

And the girls got to dress up a bit.
I worried for weeks about what I would wear -- silly  me  --
no one is really looking at me anyway!
But somehow, you'll be happy to know, I managed to get my 
hair looking good!  I think by now you all know how focused 
I can be on my hair!

Anyway, it was loads of fun!
The girls are adorable!
Maddie won the JV Squad Spirit Award!!!
The Spirit Award is voted on by her fellow JV squad members and 
represents the cheerleader with a great attitude and spirit 
 throughout the season!
She was so surprised and pleased.

JV cheer squad has been incredibly busy and demanding.
We are all enjoying a break from the twice weekly
6 AM practices and multiple games three times a week!
It's been an adventure and
she's made some life-long friends and memories!
GO BOLTS!!!

The Super Fair - JV Squad Takes On the Fair!

Do you have a state or county fair where you live?

In Nebraska, our state fair moved out of Lincoln
and on to Grand Island a few years ago.
However, we are still lucky enough (is lucky really the right word?)
 to have
the Lancaster County Super Fair!!!




Maddy and I made a quick trip there on one of the opening nights.
There was one ride (besides the Ferris wheel) I was willing to go on.
It was called The Tornado! 
I hated it!

  My favorite thing about the fair . . .
the funnel cake!!!!
Love!!!!!
 

This cliff hanger ride looked kind of fun, but you lie down so I was
afraid it might be too much for me and I'd lose my lunch
along with my shoes!
 

But, wouldn't a trip to the fair and all those fun [dreadful] fair rides
be just the thing for the JV cheer squad for some
cheerleader bonding time!!
Oh yes!  
The girls were ready to take on the Fair!
So happy these girls were able to go together
and go on those scary rides!
My bff cheer mom, Kay and I, hung out [we were the chauffeurs, you know]
and tried not to
follow the girls around and spy on whether
they were talking to any boys!
Actually, we attempted not to be seen by the girls
when we were checking on them!
They shooed us off once when they caught sight of us!
Teenagers!!! :)

Cheer News!




Yay !
My freshie cheerleader made the JV squad!
We had such a busy week last week with cheer practices, tryouts 
plus homework plus tests!
Seriously -- she had practices and tryouts - couldn't we 
suspend homework
and tests for one week??? :)
Tryouts were last Friday and Maddy and I had tickets to the 
Midtown Men concert after tryouts!
If you have the chance - go see them - especially if you are
fans of the oldies!  They were in Jersey Boys on Broadway
and are fabulous!  She even enjoyed the performance.

Instead of home, we headed to Pius to see who
made the team as the list was to be posted on the door at 10 PM!
Kind of a scary way to find out!
But some of the other JV contenders were also there. 
Happy to report, all these girls made JV!
Congrats girls!

Yes, it was a little chilly out at 10 PM that night!

On Sunday, it was time for the cheer potluck dinner to
meet all the squads, new girls and families.
It was so much fun!

JV Squad 2017-18!
Uniform ordering is tonight (take the checkbook!!!)
and practices start up in May.
Looks like another fun year with cheer!
