Workin' for the Weekend

Wow. I don't know about you, but I had a s l o w start to this week after all of July 4th's shenanigans. It felt like this weekend would never come, but here we are at Friday. Thank God :)

I'm in a superb mood thanks to my hard-working cheerleaders and their phenomenal practice this morning. We leave for The Universal Cheerleading Association's Stunt & Performance camp at the University of Central Florida a week from Sunday. We've been conditioning, weight training, stunting, tumbling, jumping, etc. for five full weeks now. I even got them a personal trainer who comes once a week to put them through a total-body boot camp. They almost died when he strapped parachutes on their backs and told them to run sprints! All in all, they have put in a lot of blood, sweat, and tears (literally). The good news is that some of that hard work is starting to pay off! Here is a pyramid that we started working on today. It's still in the learning stage, so don't judge too harshly, but for those of you that know your cheerleading, this will be UNREAL when we get it performance ready for camp.

Love it? The hula-hoop part is from our National Pyramid last year. I'm really proud of my little babies. On top of this, they also have a Home Pom Routine, Fight Song, and Entrance to perfect before we leave. We are having Parent's Night on Tuesday for them to show off for their friends & family, so I will have to post some more videos then.

Well, I'm off to super-clean the house. We're having the Husband's family over for a good-ole BBQ tonight. Ya'll have a fabulous weekend! Gotta go get my Martha on...
