BJH....Cheer Camp!

This last week I went to Greensburg, to a cheer camp for 3 days. To be honest, I did not want to go. We are mostly made up for newbies. With one returning cheerleader. None of us really knew what to expect.

There is a special class just for the captain. Captain class is where the team captain goes to learn about being good leaders, how to display good sportsmanship, setting goals for the team and for yourself, and so on. We don't have a captain so our sponsor just picks two of us. And guess who was picked...me. The one person who didn't want to go to it. It turned out to be kinda of fun.

Captains class was for 30 minutes at the start of the day. The other 6 hrs. and 30 min. we learned new cheers, dance, and more stunting. I'm the back spot the most easiest , and hardest job. In stunting we got way past last years bunch. We can do a full extension and a half up. The rest of it has to have more then six people. We only have five.... it turned out we were fine.

Each year the people who put the camp on does an all American cheerleader. You get a certain ribbon and certificate for being nominated. Well on the last day I got nominated. I was happy till I learned you had to do three jumps, and a cheer in front of EVERYONE! And I do not like being in front of a lot of people. I wasn't going to do it. Then I told my parents. They were all for it!:/ After hours,and hours of polite discussion. Ha..Ha. They told me, I did it or I had to quit. Well I wasn't going to quit so I had to do it. After waiting 3 hours the day of try-outs I was convinced that I wasn't doing it. But I did it....I messed up twice but other girls did too. I'm glad my parents, Madison, and everyone else believed I could do it, when I didn't think so.

P.s. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be getting in front of everyone. (Don't tell my family though!)

Brave!

While the Broxtermans' and the Hudsons' were out, Hannah and I thought it would be fun to take all the little kiddos (except Hayden. Not quite old enough to go yet! ) to go see Disney's new movie, Brave! I think their parents were a little concerned about whether or not we knew what we we're getting ourselves into, but the night went great and I'm pretty sure we all had fun!

It was a little crazy getting the food and drinks ordered for everyone but once we had found seats (Right up in the front..) and finally settled in to watch the movie, the kids were quiet as can be! Besides the occasional questions here and there, of course! :) Both Hannah and I liked the movie and the kids quoted different parts the whole way home.

The car ride there was pretty entertaining itself with all the singing and dancing that was going on! I think we listened to the song, "Call Me Maybe" at least 7 times. I'm pretty positive that by the time we got there both Brock and I were over that song! ha. After the movie we decided to stop at Sonic, so the ride home was much quieter since the kiddos all had ice cream. On the way home we (Hannah & I) that the ice cream was our little secret since we weren't bringing any home for the adults, that would've worked great except for the fact that 3 minutes before getting to the house Easy spilled his! Though he thought all was fine because according to him, "It was alright! It only got on his shorts, not the car!" Here's some pictures from the ride there!

the only normal picture!

dancing away!

They are just like their big cousins! We've taught them well! (:

Hopefully, sometime soon our other little cousins on dad's side can go with us too!
