Cheerleading Nationals

This awesome child of mine is the reason we were lucky enough to get to spend a week together in Anaheim, CA.
Abby started competitive cheerleading when she was six, in an attempt to be like her favorite Maddi. Two years later...I do believe we are stuck for life. Abby is really good, and really loves it. She is undoubtedly one of the most driven people I've met...and to watch her eyes light up while competing makes the insane amount of money it costs completely worth every penny.
This cheer thing gets to be Abby's.  It is the one aspect of her life that her brother unknowingly does not dictate.  I think it has served a crucial purpose in creating a sense of balance for our little family, and has allowed Abby to have her own moments to shine. Abby is an amazing sister to her brother, AMAZING.  But, she is also just amazing.
I like watching her fly solo for a few minutes each year.


Abby absolutely rocking her jump.

2nd Place at Nationals:)



My pretty girl.

As much as I never thought I'd say this, I love being a "cheer mom."
I even wore the shirt and necklace this year.

Oh how I loved reading this post as much as the one on the run. You are so great at letting your kids shine in their own way! And man that last picture of Abby.... well let's just hope that Blair knows what's coming soon with a good looking daughter like that!
