...are you gonna win today? ....You know all you gotta do is put your mind to it, do it do it ...UPWARDS!
Logan's first game was Saturday. She's loving it and already sad that her cheer career ends the same year it began
Fisher was a big help with Riley- they played catch with her new bouncy ball. (She seriously loves the ball... I have to pry it from her hands to put her to bed...she doesn't understand why it can't sleep in the bed with her :)
He kept her entertained so well, in fact, that I had plenty of time to grab a cup of coffee from the concession stand and run upstairs to take a few pictures... because, at some point, when we looked around to find Chandler, we spotted him above us, running the camera.
He's been showing a growing interest in running the lights, sound board etc at church.
At one point, on Saturday, a buddy offered to take over the camera controls to give him a break- at which Chan promptly kicked his buddy in the shin...he wants you to know I'm exaggerating... it was just a light nudge :) No, really- he didn't do any of that, but he wasn't interested in a break. He's developing a new hobby...
Meanwhile-
Logan cheered her heart out. And she was very sparkly while doing so (because we had sprayed her down with glitter.... and good.)
Thanks in part to her brother, there is an archive of the game here. You can spot Lo during the first 40 seconds and then again around minute mark 27:00
Here's the little bit of video my tired old camera was able to capture:
::Repeat ONE MILLION times::
Seriously.
Around our house these days, even the boys are walking around sing-song-ing cheer chants. Like chewing gum ground into shag carpet...(yes, first hand analogy) the lilting cheers are just stuck...and good.Logan's first game was Saturday.

(UpWards stops at age 12 and we are unaware of local options that include both an honorable atmosphere and a lot of clothes ;)

Thankfully, the Brewer Brothers and *Coach Dad weren't due on the ball field this past weekend and were able to be there. The coming weekends between now and November aren't always so pleasantly blended... |

We have practice tonight. Logan is so excited to learn some new cheers (and we are so happy there will be a few more options on this ever-looping playlist in our heads)
Her game this weekend starts at 9:30, if you can't be there you can tune in live @ FBFirst.com... don't expect the cheerleaders to get a LOT of screen (scream?) time, but they open both the 9:30 and 11 games as well as provide a little segue entertainment during the half ("Now that the cheerleaders have directed your attention to center court, please listen to the message this pastor would like to share... " tricky Baptists!)
