Pro Spirit Showcase and other random pictures

This past Sunday Jade had her showcase for cheerleading. This is an event that her gym, Pro Spirit, puts on every year for all the teams to show their routines and get prepared for competition season. Jade had a blast and I'm sure if you are reading this you can only imagine how excited Mommy was!!
 
 
 


 



 
I can't even begin to explain how much I love this gym. Pro Spirit is owned by Jeff and Diana Miller (and they actually coach Jade's tiny team too!). They have quite the accomplished resume in the cheer world, but what I love most is that they are GOOD people. They teach teamwork and valuable life lessons, and truly have a servants heart. They even have a special needs team.
 
Before the showcase began, all of the cheerleaders gathered around the mat for prayer. This is something they publicly do all the time: before practices, before competitions, etc. They clearly make it known who they believe in and it's never showy!
 
In the picture below you can see Jade's little face peeking out behind her coach and owner, Diana, who is in green.
 
 
Prayer:
 
The tiny team! Team ELECTRIC! Jade is the flyer on the right!





 
Prayer after the event with all the parents behind their cheerleaders. Their oldest team that competes at Worlds is in the middle.
 
 
Jade loved the big curl in her hair when we took her buns out!
Other random pictures from lately:
 
Avery has been hiding out under the desk upstairs. She sets up some books, a pillow, blanket and a night light and hangs out here.
 


 
I always am snapping pictures of the girls for my business, Posh Tot Couture. Avery cooperated for me this time:

On Monday Avery had a dentist appointment:

 
And that's about it for now!

Happy Fall y'all!

It's finally Fall (even though most of the time it doesn't feel like it here in Texas!). We have had a few crisp morning which are always a treat!! Here is life lately:
 
Avery was looking mighty cute for her school pictures on this morning:
 
Brooke was excited about her new backpack that came in the mail:




 
While big sisters were at school, Avery HAD to put on Brooke's Mal costume. I even sprayed her hair purple to match :-)
 
Brooke having a ball at lessons:

 
 

 
Last week all the girls got special one on one time for lunch. On Wednesday, Avery and I had Chick-fil-a after gymnastics.

 
And on Thursday I brought lunch to school for Brooke and Jade. Jade's lunch was first (@10:45) and she picked Whataburger!

 
Brooke has lunch later in the day and she wanted a happy meal from McDonalds:
 
 
Today the girls had off from school, so we went to the Pumpkin Patch! It was sad that this was our first year without being able to go as a family since Daddy didn't come. Luckily we went with our neighbors and still had lots of fun! We fed the animals, played in the Hay maze, rode on the Hayride, and picked out pumpkins.
