Our Little Cheerleader

Bella has started competing! I'm trying to find the right words to describe a competition to you. If you have been to one then you understand my dilemma. For the most part Bella is usually in the first session due to her age. That session can run anywhere from 3-4 hours watching anywhere from 15-25 cheer teams. It's insanity. It's like watching a mini version of one of her dance recitals. It's like going to a bingo game with a bunch of crazy women and all their crap they bring to bring them luck. Instead of a bunch of different colored ink you have Mom's running around with their kids school colors. Shirts blinged out stating who their kid is. Noise makers that are banned but still get sneaked in. For the most part the schools stay together in the stands. Word to wise never ever sit next to Lynvet. They are loud, obnoxious and just plain annoying.

OK here are just a few pictures from "I think" their first competition. Can you find Bella here - showing her spirit...



here she in in the middle of her routine:





here she was going through the tunnel. I was very far away but excited to get this shot - she's looking for me and Tara to make sure we were watching her - she was so excited!



her she is with her medal:



this is a team that performed in between the cheer teams - check out this chic:





this was her already coming down - she went very high:





See insane!!! Bella is having a blast! She wears her cheer "gear" to school the day before her competitions and everyone knows she's a cheerleader. She loves the attention.

I mean come on look at this kid - she's perfect for the job!
