Sending off Maci to her first cheer camp

 She has been so exited for this since the moment she found she made the JV cheer squad. It was held on campus at Northwestern while the NCA hosted it. The girls stayed in the dorm. We got all of the girls delivered and put together their dorm. Maci's roomie was Rachael and I knew they would have a blast. Before camp this girls got together and made a list of snacks and drinks to bring. As we were unloading and realized we had enough snacks for a whole year word spread like wild fire this was the place to come hit up if you wanted a snack and a few even picked and said looks like yal packed food for the beach. Now it's time to leave the girls and let them enjoy their time and make memories of a lifetime.

Selfie stick on point

 



Maci with a few of Varsity cheer

we love these sweet girls, so when I received this picture I knew she was having he time of her life

 

Maci and Racheal ready for another day of camp. Their mornings started at 6am

 

On the first day I got a phone call from Maci telling me got nominated for All American and she was going to perform for All American Wednesday night. We were supposed to come watch them Thursday morning so with this news and it being 3 hours away I decided I would just come over Wednesday and stay the night. I called my MIL and she said she would come with me.

 

PVA JV Cheer 2015

Maci called me and told me to bring her ankle brace from home when I come due to it was killing her. I didn't even think about it or I would of sent it. But with 4 full days cheer and tumbling from 6am-9pm it was bothering her. She injured it this year in basketball.

 

Maci and Mauri

 

After the performance we headed to downtown Natchitoches which I loved.

This is the Steel Magnolia house when it was filmed.



 Mauri loved it also and we also snagged some of the best fudge

 

While trying to choose where to eat dinner this herb box caught our eye and knew we had to eat here being that they grow and use they own herbs. Since this is an overdue post I cant seem to remember the name of this place but it was like a Cajun Steakhouse. I order the carb cakes and it had grilled shrimp on top and a sauce that was out of this world. I also ordered the spinach and artichoke dip that was heavenly. All of our food was amazing and I eat here again when I come back.

Thursday morning we came to watch their final day performance and award ceremony.

Selfie Stick time



 

She had a blast and at that moment I realized my first born wasn't a girl anymore she has grown up and now a teen and a lady. It kind of saddened my heart. The whole ride home she slept she was so tired. She loved camp and had a blast.

 

Cheers to my Cheerleader

Football is here and that means Cheerleading is in full motion. The elementary has a PeeWee cheer squad and it is 3rd-6th graders. There are 9 girls on the squad and they have been practicing really hard and going great. This is Maci's first year and she is loving it. She cheers at practice, when she gets home from practice, all week while not at practice and just all the time. I have been so proud of her you can hear her well and always smiling.

 

Running onto the field to perform a cheer and a chant,

I figured she would be a little shy but nope she goes with it and has taken the lead.



 

 At all the high school PepRallys they get to cheer.

It is a lot of people in the gym but she doesn't let that bother her, she gets out there and shines.

 

She is having so much fun and loving being part of the PeeWee Cheer Squad.

We have a few more PepRallys and I will get more pictures and a video. The Homecoming PepRally will be October 4th and they are going to not only cheer but perform a dance.
