Meridian Homecoming Spirit Week, Powder Puff and Game

Because she is on Student Council and Cheer Avynlea had to dress according to the theme for Homecoming Spirit Week. Monday was Dress like Adam Sandler day and Tuesday was wear a sports jersey.
Wednesday was twin day...

For cheer pom practice they did "anything but your poms" for a theme. I love that Avynlea chose to bring loofahs which are basically shower pom poms.

Thursday was Minion day for school and for cheer each stunt group had to dress like a storybook, Avynlea's group did goldilocks and the three bears, so cute!
The Powderpuff game was this week and Avynlea was number 0 on the Seniors team. The Seniors played the Juniors and beat them pretty good. Avynlea had some amazing plays and I got on video her grabbing the flag off the girls running with the ball, if it were tackle football and not flag she would have made an impressive tackle!

The Seniors won with a score of 26-0, Yeah Seniors!

Amy and I were not able to get pictures with our girls so we got one of the two of us, the best cheerleaders around!
Friday after school for the first time ever I was able to go to the Homecoming parade. It was short but fun and I liked seeing Avynlea cheering her way down the street. She is in the middle facing me, this was the best picture I got of Avynlea. I had to laugh in that a lot of candy was being thrown at the kids watching the parade but not a lot of the candy was being picked up, I am not sure why but their was a lot of candy left on the street when it was all done.
Friday morning I went to the Homecoming assembly to watch Avynlea cheer and do her thing with Student Council. All of the Seniors on fall teams got to nominate a Teacher as their Meridian Hero and Avynlea nominated Amanda. Amanda was her cheer coach sophomore and junior year and Avynlea has been an office aid working with Amanda for the past two years. She has really looked up to Amanda and loves her a lot and I am glad she was able to show her some of that love by nominating her.

Rylee is in Parent and Child Development class at school and for their grade they have to bring home a robot baby and take care of it for the weekend. Rylee got hers on this weekend and was playing around with it before it turned on and she had to get serious about caring for it.
Kenedy and Tyler came home for the weekend to watch the Homecoming game. They made posters for Avynlea and it was a to of fun to have them in the stands cheering with us.


Our neighbors, the Lambs, came to the game to watch Arin's niece perform in the choir. I like to video the Warrior Walk and was standing at the fence so I could do that, Bo, Arin's youngest was watching with me and Kenedy took a picture of us.

We played Highland for the Homecoming game and we won which was awesome. So far this year Meridian Varsity Football is undefeated and we are hoping to keep it that way. This was a fun last Homecoming game for Avynlea.
