Averi SHS Competition Cheer 2021

Posted on December 22, 2021 by admin

With the change in the schools Averi as a freshman to tryout for the varsity cheer comp team! Her comp season has been a whirlwind and gone too fast but she had a ball and so did I! I was so proud of them and how hard they worked and how much they practiced!! You don’t see that level of commitment from teens very often. VERY COOL. Her first comp was in Alma. They didn’t place BUT one of the stunt groups won the stunt competition so that was really cool!! The next was in Van Buren. There they were overall game day champs! Next was Bentonville where they really did well! Best in their division and overall!!! They ended their season in Hot Springs at the state comp. While they didn’t end they way they wanted to I thought they looked SO GOOD!! AND finished 3rd in the entire state! Quite an accomplishment! And it was fun to have Gran and Pap there to celebrate 🙂

Enjoy the pics!

Thanksgiving 2021

Posted on November 29, 2021 by admin

We had a great Thanksgiving in Oklahoma again this year! We ended up having to change our reservation last minute so had to stay further away from Hochatown than we normally do which was a kind of a pain. But it was a nice clean place with plenty of room! We even stayed an extra day this year which was nice to chill and then get to shop later 🙂 Bring on Christmas!!!!!! <3

Lots of running around for the Bottjens the last couple months! But oh so much fun <3 Football season is in full swing so our Thurs and Friday nights are full of cheering, dancing and football!! I couldn’t be happier 🙂 Sydni is also immersed in SDA competition prep dancing 15+ hrs a week on top of her Belle practices and she managed some pretty good grades this first 9 weeks as well! Averi is also super busy this year of course with her cheer team but also the additional practices on the competition cheer team with some pretty good grades too! I can’t WAIT to see her compete in a few weeks!!! Halloween was a non event this year… Averi went to several haunted houses and Sydni squeezed in some fun with her dance team in between a weekend intensive. Not the same as in years past but so thankful they are happy and healthy 🙂 Rozi likes handing out candy the most anyway!

Summer wrapped up with lots of dance and cheer practice and a start to Junior and Freshman year for my girls! So exciting to have them at the same school again! Football season is so fun and I am so happy to see things somewhat more normal for these kids. There is still quarantining going on but praying every day that its getting better.

SDA Showcase 6/4

Posted on August 17, 2021 by admin

Sydni’s dance studio had their very first showcase this year! It was held at the Bakery District downtown. Such a beautiful fun place for a dance showcase! We loved it! SDA has offered Sydni the opportunity to increase her studio time and receive more focused technique and training on a pre professional level. I am so thankful she has the chance to establish a strong dance foundation to follow her dreams! So excited for season 2!
