It seems like our kids are always on the move. We get one thing accomplished just to realize there is more awaiting for us. It's ok, our kids enjoy it. Hopefully, Marc and I are being good parents by helping our children develop the talents Heavenly Father has blessed them with.
A few weeks ago we attended the Wescon Cheer Competition out at Cardinals Stadium. The end of Oct the Gilbert Bengals participated in the State Cheer Competition. The top 2 teams were invited to the Wescon Cheer Competition. The Lady Bengals took 2nd place, therefore, we had a date with Regionals Nov 20, 2010. The girls' and coaches worked very hard in perfecting their routine.
We had to be at the Stadium a very early 6:45am (and yes, it did take us only 45 mins to get there). The girls were scheduled to perform @ 8:20 with awards being handed out @ 12. Like most cheer competitions, they ran late. The awards were handed out around 1. However, it was worth the wait!!!!!
Ellie's squad competed against 11 other teams from Nevada, California and Texas. As they started reading off the top 5 they called the Gilbert Bengals for 4th place!!!!!! They are the first team in Gilbert Pop Warner history to place within the top 5 in the Regional competition. Not bad for their first appearance there.
Congratulations Lady Bengals!!!! Let's do it again next year!!!!
