On Saturday, we loaded up the kiddos and headed for Bailey's first cheerleading competition. The regionals were held in Jackson, TN. Honestly, I was a little worried for her. Whenever she would practice at home she didn't really put all she had into it. She kept telling me it was because she was nervous to do it in front of us. I told her there would be a lot more people at the competition. If she couldn't do it for us, how was she going to be able to do it there? She just kept saying "Trust me, I'll be fine."Anyway, we arrived at the arena where her coach covered her in glitter from head to toe. (Nice, if you know me then you know that glitter is the bane of my existence!) The wore these neon feather things in there hair and funky knee socks with skulls and hearts. They also had neon orange shoelaces. The coach says they do that to stand out. It worked. :) 
We left Bay with her coach and went to find our seats. We sat there FOREVER watching other teams perform and finally it was Bay's turn. 
When she got out on that floor my little girl transformed into this fierce performer! She was AWESOME! Her coach even came up to me afterwards and was shocked by how she did! She definitely had her game face on! Anyway long story short, her team won first place in their division!! WOOOOOO HOOOOOO! I ended up losing my voice that night from screaming for her! I didn't think we would ever get her calmed down. Even after we got home and got her in bed she was laying flat in her bed doing the cheer with her arms. :) So cute!

We'll be heading to state competition in Nashville in January! Wish her luck!!

How exciting! There was some kind of cheer leading competition going on in Gatlinburg a few weekends ago when Matt and I were up there. All these girls covered in glitter and make-up and the tiniest little outfits and it was so cold and snowing! I know that time will come for us but I am so not hurrying it. Maybe we can get involved with a program like Bay is in...she doesn't have all the exposed skin like some of them do.
WOW!!! That is so AWESOME!!!!! I will definitely want to see her when you come up here!!! Please let me know when you will!!! Go Bay!!!
