We went to this comp last year in Omaha but this year we went a step further to the Denver Colorado! Sydni and I opted to fly so that was a fun little adventure for us 🙂 The convention hotel was perfect and the kids had an amazing time!!! Sydni won a Nationals Scholarship and one of the instructors liked her so much that he gave her a full tuition scholarship to an intensive at a college her works at in LA! SO EXCITING!!!! Here are the convention results-

Sydni’s solo, Platinum Power, 4th overall, Best Choreo for senior solos
Duo, Platinum, 2nd overall, Best Choreo for senior duo/trio
The Day is Done, Platinum
Just Breathe, Platinum Power, 5th overall tied
Stay Wild, Platinum Power, 5th overall tied, Best Choreo
Memoirs of a Traveler, Platinum Power, 4th overall
Gone, Platinum Power, 2nd overall

Enjoy the pics!

Radix weekend! I always get PTSD with this comp now since its when Covid hit 2 years ago but no worries of that this year! YAY! They didn’t even have to wear masks during class so that was GREAT!!! Sydni scored high gold on her solo and her duo with Summer got high gold as well! Such a great convention with wonderful teachers!! Its always one of Sydni’s faves!

UCA Nationals Orlando 2/11-13

Posted on February 15, 2022 by admin

What an amazing weekend we had! Averi’s cheer comp group qualified for Nationals but with Covid didn’t get the go ahead from the school until so late!! The team rallied though and was able to raise enough money to send the entire team to Orlando! It was nerve wracking but so worth it. Since they couldn’t make their reservations until so late the only place avail was the Animal Kingdom Lodge so the kids stayed at Disney in style! I stayed down the road in a ramada 😐 it was fine though! I was too exhausted to care each night! Friday the kids performed in prelims and were sent on to semifinals. They went to Hollywood Studios then Epcot that night. Saturday afternoon they performed at semis and were sent on to finals and Sat night they performed at finals and won 3rd in the nation for super varsity non tumbling Game day (i think i got that right)!! Out of 35 teams! SO FUN! Sunday they spent the whole day at Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom…. my old self went home! haha I am thrilled Averi got to be a part of this and hope she can continue the next 3 years! Go Mavs!

Enjoy the pics!

SDA headed to a new comp/conv this year called Hollywood Vibe. It was recommended by one of their choreographers and it was AMAZING! By far the best dancing I have seen at a comp. So good!! The girls all scored high golds and even got a platinum on “Gone” placing 4th in teen AND it won best costume!! That dance is so fun!

A fun holiday couple months we have had! The girls finished up football season and Averi went straight into comp season with her cheer team. They did so well and ended the season 3rd in the state! Averi also tried out and made all region choir!! It was so much fun to get to hear her sing at the concert. I wish she had time to keep it up thru high school 🙁 Sydni got to march in the Christmas parade this year with the belles! So much fun for our Christmas elf 🙂 Basketball season has started up to and its so fun to watch the girls cheer and dance in the nice new arena! Way better than the Ramsey days..!!! Of course there were many christmas parties the girls went to which was fun too! Hope everyone has a great ’22!

Christmas 2021

Posted on December 29, 2021 by admin

Merry Christmas everyone! What a beautiful holiday we had even though it was 80 degrees so made it hard to feel like Christmas!! We had our pics done by Jade Graves again this year and they almost didn’t happen. Jim and I have had Christmas cards EVERY YEAR since we have been married and our little fam was SO crazy busy this fall…. I had to reschedule on Jade twice and then ended up having to pull the girls out of school just to get it done! It worked out though 🙂 Our church asked Sydni to dance in the Christmas eve service this year and it was gorgeous!! She looked like an angel <3 We headed south for Christmas lunch in Nashville and had a great time. Feeling very blessed and very thankful and very mindful of all God has done for me and my family this year.

Enjoy the pics!

Sydni’s 17th birthday 12/17

Posted on December 22, 2021 by admin

The older these girls get the harder it is to celebrate birthdays!!! We had to squeeze in a family lunch the day before Syd’s bday. Then day of she went shopping with Summer before hurrying home for the Belle Christmas party! Since it fell on her bday I had a super cute cake made at Creative Kitchen! I think she had a wonderful day being celebrated!!! This girl is a handful but I am so crazy proud of her!! She works so hard at everything she does and gives 110% always! She can never sit still. And when I say never thats exactly what I mean!! Watching her dance is one of my greatest joys and I am so very blessed to watch her grow into this amazing young woman. I love you SydniBeth <3

Enjoy the pics!
