Another cheer comp

It's crazy to think that 1 year ago Cheer wasn't really a part of our lives. But now it is a huge part! Bri has had fun performing at various comps and is always so cute doing it. This one was at Tooele High

Just look at that smile and her confidence in her face! I love what it is doing for her in her life. 

 

Feb Stuff

We are so proud of Chad! He has been in training for his new job for 9ish months and it came time to pass a very important test. He had been studying for months and lost sleep and stressed lots over it. He had to travel down to Cedar City to take it so he was gone over night. I was ecstatic when I got a text that said "I passed!" He was exhausted when he got home but we had to surprise him with some crumbl cookies to celebrate his sucess!

I got to escape for a fun girls night of bra shopping! It was such a fun night and I came home with some new bras that I love! 

The dog....she still is the center of fun in our home. 

Mollie loves to make cookies! She has taught herself how to do it without help and that could become dangerous! But all the girls love to help. 

I got new purple Nike's to wear in Disneyland. They are so cute and comfy and I have had so much fun wearing them! Jennie and Tawnee have matching shoes too!

Bri is starting to love to bake too. She helped me make Valentine cookies. Unfortunately, they were over baked and not super good. We tried a new recipe, but I'll be sticking to my regular one!

And Carter is just Carter! Doing well in Jr. High, playing guitar and getting ready for football to start! 

 

Mini cheer clinic

Back in Oct we did the mini cheer clinic and when we all came down with Covid we were unable to perform at the football game. The girls cried and cried and were so sad when I told them and I promised when they did the next one they could do it. So when it came around, we got them signed up and of course, participated. They all loved it! I didn't know if Mollie would want to, but she sure did!!

They performed at half time at a game and did so good! Bri and Mol were in the same group. 

Rylee practiced so hard each night and wanted to memorize it and she did so great!

Look at all these mini cheer girls!

And wow, my girls are so gorgeous! And Mollie is looking extra grown up in all that makeup! Love my gorgeous girls!

And of course their hair was coated in glitter! It was easier to get out than I thought. Good times!

 

Mollie's 1st time to the temple!

Another big event we had in January was Mollie visiting the temple for the first time! We had planned to take her to the new pocatello temple because I was sure there was no way I could get an apt in the Utah temples. But I kept watching it and and some days became available and so we canceled our Idaho trip and just kept it small and simple and it was a lovely day. We went to Oquirrh Temple and then took the kids to lunch. She loved it and it was so nice her dad was there to baptize her and that we could have TWO of our kids in the temple!!

 

THS Cheer

All the hard work and early mornings has finally paid off and its time for Tooele's 1 competition. We had a few last minute practices to make sure we were good. They've worked so hard for this! I felt like we were ready!

Our 1st comp was at Weber State! Its intimidating just being in their field house where they practice, but seeing it chuck full of nervous cheerleaders made the nerves set in in everyone! 

I loved that they had a meditation moment where they listened to the music and visualized their routine. 

We got a few practices on the mats and then it was time! There at the end of the hall where the purple curtain, is where they hit the mat to perform!!

Go THS! You've got this!!

Look at the monstrosity of this stadium! We loved that it was purple like us!

And..... we won 1st! (And we were the only one in our division too, but we don't tell anyone that!!) They had a good performance with a few falls. We can't always get our stunts to hit all the time!

But we very happily accepted 1st to build our confidence!

GOOD JOB GIRLS! This was sooooo fun! Can't wait for our comp in CALIFORNIA!

 

Mollie's Science Project

These are getting simpler for us all the time and while I still don't like them, this one was fun and creative and pretty cool! Mollie and her friend Ashland did this one together, however, Ash had covid so they had to do it virtually with each other! They both did the experiment and filled out their packet together and it actually worked really well!

How many pencils can you stab into a bag of water before it leaks? 

Answer: ALOT! I think she had about 20 in there and it still didn't leak!

And there is her and Ash on their video chat! Too cute!

 

Jr Stallions

We decided to try out a new basketball program and do Jr Stallions since Jr Jazz STILL isn't having a season! Rylee and Brielle both did it and both learned a lot and loved it! Here are some cute pictures of them. They both scored points throughout their season and both got a stallions basketball. They thought that was very cool. Bri is very aggressive and had 3 baskets in one game! She was the only girl on her team and her lady coach was so great with her in creating girl power pride and encouraging the boys to pass to her and be kind. Rylee is a little more reserved but still gets in there and plays so hard! She made new friends on the team and loves basketball!

 Sure love my little ballers!
