I somehow got roped into a group chat for Cheer Boosters in regards to Coaches gifts. The Booster President threw out some ideas she was thinking of for gifts for the coaches and asked if we had any ideas. I looked on Pinterest and found an idea for camp chairs and I snapped a pic and sent it out there, Coaches are on the sidelines for every game and we should make them some custom chairs to sit in. They loved the idea and asked me if I would get it taken care of. I found some chairs on Amazon and kept my eye on them because I wanted to get donations from all of the cheer parents before I bought the chairs. We let Carrie know about our idea so JV could do the same thing if they wanted to. A couple days later I looked at the chairs on amazon and found there were only 3 left. Turns out Carrie bought the chairs she needed and now there were not enough left for me to get the 4 we needed for varsity. Yikes! I sent. a message to Carrie and she was able to find me the same chairs from a different seller, I had to pay shipping because this seller was not using Prime but I was able to get 4 and they actually came pretty quick. Saturday night, the day before Easter I went over to Carries and we went next door to her neighbors house to use her circuit stuff and we were able to make the chairs. They turned out so cute and looked perfect, I love that my idea turned out so well. Easily the best gift these coaches ever received from their cheerleaders!
The Cheer Banquet was Friday April 9 and it was scheduled for 7 in the evening. I taught dance until 6:30 in Eagle and this Banquet was held at Carrie's parents car upholstery shop in Nampa, deep in Nampa. I rushed as fast as I could after Dance to get home, Change and get Avy and Rylee in the car to get to the Banquet. There was some pretty bad traffic and we didn't get to the place until about a quarter after. Late but not too bad and they hadn't started anything because the food wasn't ready on time, it got there when we got there. Phew
After eating the, not as delicious as I would have hoped, catered meal from Chick-fil-A, Macaroni and cheese, chicken nuggets and Caesar salad, it was time for awards. JV went first and then it was time for Varsity. They handed out the Varsity Letter awards and Avynlea got her letter! Yay! Then they announced specialty awards which only a few received. Avynlea was one of them and she received "Flyer of the Year"! She was really surprised but I wasn't, she is an amazing Flyer and deserved the award. Seniors got their awards and then The Coach's handed out the fun awards and this year it was "Most likely to..." Avynlea got "Most Likely to be Blames for Everything" which was funny bit didn't make any sense. Avynlea later explained that it became the running joke at practice that when someone needed to be blamed to blame Avynlea. Hahaha

Avynlea wanted a picture with her stunt group. She had a great year this year and really enjoyed the girls in her stunt group, they got along great and accomplished a lot together.

I wanted a picture of the four besties on Varsity, I wanted to get one at the State Competition but did not want to make Hailey feel left out. After the banquet I didn't't worry about it as much and hurried the girls together so I could get a picture. They are such a great group of girls and helped make Avynlea's year really fun!
Avynlea, Paige, Natalie and Dreya
We wanted to get a picture of the 5 cheer besties and the Cheer Mom Besties. I had Rylee take this picture and thought this outtake was pretty good.
Luckily she got a good one of all of us!

Me and my favorite Cheerleader, I love her so much!
Avynlea wanted a picture with her Coach's from this year and after waiting her turn was able to get one with all three of them. She had a lot of fun with them this year and really enjoyed her time with them as her coach's

When we got home I took some pictures of Avynlea with her awards. What a great year and cheer season this has been. I can't believe we are done with Sophomore Cheer and she is going to tryout for Junior year Cheer in a couple months. Her High School years are moving so fast.
