This picture is perfect for today, because it was literally the hottest day of our lives!!!  Both the cheerleaders and football players rocked it out and had a blast in the heat!  We were all so proud of our kiddos!

 

Here’s a quick snapshot of Noelle and Emily, and the Pond girls before the game!

This was such an exciting start to an amazing football game to kick-off the season!

  

Noelle was in the zone performing for everyone!  She did great and cheered/kicked her little heart out!  Here we are enjoying the memories of Noelle’s first cheerleading game!

Go Bobcats!

This is right after the girls cheered, “Go Bobcats!” and held out their little paws.  They learned SO many cheers for this first game.  Everyone was so impressed!

Aren’t they doing great staying together during their cheers, and it was just their first game!  Can’t wait to see them at the end of the season! 

Half-time cheer!

 

All I can say is it was HOT, HOT, HOT!  All us moms told our little girls to take their shoes off so they would be a little cooler, crazy, right?  Sitting under umbrellas felt like diving into a fresh cold swimming pool… there are no words to describe it.  Squirt bottles were our best friends; it was crazy hot, and the girls did not complain one bit!  Here’s a sweet/sad pic after Anna Kate didn’t catch a spirit stick.  Her friend, Sydney, was there to cheer her up!  Don’t feel sorry for them, they got plenty of treats!  I promise!  I just thought this was a really sweet picture of one little sister lifting the spirits of another!

 

At the end of the game, the girls got to perform for their football team!  It was so much fun to see them smiling so big and enjoying themselves so much after a really long afternoon in the blazing heat.  Here’s the football team cheering for the girls, but right now, Daddy is Noelle’s biggest fan (thank the good Lord)!

During this part of the cheer, they were saying the words, “Work, work, baby, sweat, sweat!”  And they really were!  This is pure dedication and team work!

 

Here are the great guys on our team on one knee cheering for the girls!  It was really neat to see all the sportsmanship, and then the girls passed them out spirit sticks, and then they had treats for the girls too!  So cool!  And, another fun part of our day, was seeing our neighbor Lesleigh and Jillian and their Tiger teammates!  That made the Pond girls and Brianna super excited to be part of such a fun day! 

Noelle’s first season cheering got off to a great start!  And the most important thing of all, she had a total blast hamming it up for the audience doing her thing and enjoying being with her friends!  Go Bobcats and Go Noelle!
