Champs

Maddie and Lindsey have been busy with cheerleading for over 3 months now. They have practiced every Tuesday and Thursday night, and cheered every Saturday morning since the end of August. Lots and lots of work and lots and lots of fun finally paid off today! They competed in a cheer competition and won first place!!!! You never know how these things are going to turn out, but I can honestly say that the girls could not have done any better! They nailed the chant, cheer and dance!! I also have to say that all the years of gymnastics lessons and years of cheerleading paid off for Coach Lindsey!! She did an awesome job coaching this group!

Lots of pictures in this post!!

Pre-game fun!! Coach Lindsey and Maddie are ready to get started!

She has grown about 4 inches since the start of this season, as evidenced by that skirt!!

A little brother-sister loving during the game!

This one will soon be out there and trust me she's ready! She already knows all the cheers!!

Nana actually held this sweet thing until he went to sleep, but he's just a tad bit heavy!! So, I handed him rather reluctantly over to Pop!!

Practicing on the sidelines before the competition starts!

And then it's time to take the field!

Dance!

This dance ended with an awesome horseshoe formation! Cute!!!!

Showing spirit!

They nailed the cheer and chant!!

Jump off! She didn't place this year, but give her time! She's a natural!

On the field, waiting on the results!

First the bronze winners were announced, followed by the silver medal winners! We were holding our breath until finally- THEY DID IT!! First place!!!!

Best seven/eight year old squad around! Especially since most of them are six!

Isn't she a doll???

Great job!!

This is Maddie's special friend Marley. Her mom is Lindsey's assistant coach. She was not able to be there today, because she is in UAB. Lots of prayers for her!!
