Drumroll Please....

Gracie made head cheerleader!!!!! There was an error in the announcements Friday night after drill team officer try-outs. Basicly Ms.Becky said one little girl had made head cheerleader, and it was suppose to be another little girl. The little girl she announced had a score that was 11 points lower than Grace and another girl...so they also awarded Grace and the other girl that title as well. Confused yet?? Make sense??...Anyways, title or no title--we were sooo proud of her performance Friday night. My friend has some video footage, and as soon as I get it, I will share it with you guys. In the meantime, try not to die from the cute when you see these pics.





My friend Susie made her that super cute shirt. It has a sheep appliqued on it and it says "Our flock ROCKS!" Grace's drill team is doing a Little Bo Peep theme. The highlight of her try-out was after her cheer. She had to do the dance for aprt of her drill routine, then she had to say a cheer. "California oranges. Texas cactus. We think your team needs a little practice. Put 'em in a highchair. Feed em' with a spoon. We can beat your team any afternoon!" Then when they finished the cheer, they could do anything they wanted to show their spirit. We had encouraged her to say "Go Eagle's! We're #1!" and kick her leg in the air. Instead, she busted out with a Mary Katherine Gallagher routine.

She tried her damndest to do the splits. Then she did a Y-Scale. Then, she started blowing kisses, waving to the crowd, bending over her box with her legs in the air. It was a riot! You can see one of the assistant director's laughing in the background of one of the pics. She also picked her wedgie about 57 times during her try-out. Finally her director had to get her to stop with the spirit portion by saying, "#15, Please have a sit. Okay #15....Please sit down." LMAO!!! It was the cutest thing EVER!




After try-outs, Derrick gave her a dozen roses. She also got a charm bracelet from Mommy and Daddy and Ms. Charis also gave her some flowers. The girls also got gifts from their director Ms. Becky.





Hunter has been doing really well this year with football. The boys played in a bowl game this past Saturday against the Gators. They ended up losing, but they did score on the Gators which was quite a feat in anf of itself. They have their first regular season game this Saturday against the Texans. Watch out! The Moose is loose!
