Girls BBall Marian

The varsity girls took home a W against Marian, but wow, what a boys game.  The Marian Knights came in undefeated and we kept it very close the entire game.  An injury to one of our boys put a hurting on us though...what an awesome game in "the cave!"

Boys BBall New Prairie

Lost a good game against New Prairie last night.  The boys played well the first half but seemed to fall apart the second half.
Lots of cheering in the schedule the next two months and Gabi is feeling it emotionally and physically. She's a trooper though.  I give her lots of credit being able to juggle school and two cheer programs.

UCA Midwest Championships

Traveled to Peoria, Illinois yesterday for a one day competition.  Unfortunately, our girls didn't do so well.  Gabi's stunt group struggled, but saved a stunt and they just weren't as clean as they normally are.  They were hoping for a wild card bid to Summit (which they give out to the top team who pretty much executes THEIR individual routine as perfect as possible), but it was given to another team at the Mishawaka gym - Flash Flood.  Weather Girlz ended up second this time around.

On a side note...so very happy to spend this day with my best friend and husband of 23 years today!!!  We are planning to celebrate hopefully this coming weekend since this weekend was chock full.

Winter Formals

The day has arrived...Gabi's winter formals dance for her high school.  She has been waiting for this for so long and the time has come.
Saturday was full - ICE practice 9-12am and off to get hair done at 1pm.  We didn't get back from there until close to 3pm and Gabi got dressed, put on makeup and off we went.  Gabi was invited to a catered dinner (her fave- Chipotle) with about 22 of her good friends, hosted by Kylee Singleton (fellow JV cheerleader).  Kylee's parents did an awesome job!  They rented out the community building at Autumn Lake Apartments so there was plenty of room and great pic opportunities.  We brought some cake pops and chocolate covered strawberries for dessert.  Unfortunately, for Gabi, Alex had to wrestle in Hobart and wouldn't arrive until close to 7pm that evening.  But, it was worth the wait for her...Alex looked great and was actually a great sport when it came to picture taking.  I forewarn you...lots of pics ahead...
