Spirit of Tyler Cheer Camp


I was excited.. maybe even more than Cheyenne. I hadn't been to cheer camp in years.. or should I say decades.. (haha) 60+ girls in all. 13 in Chey's youth team from ages 6-12. We spent 3 nights and 3 1/2 days there. Up around 8:00 bed around 12 midnight.. (not kidding) I know why I'm tired but I have no regrets. The gift I was given was to be there with Chey.. and watch her from a distance interact with the girls, learn new dances, and show off whenever possible :-) (that's my girl) I see myself looking through a different pair of glasses now. Moments that I use to take for granted everyday are now very precious (you moms know what I mean) The picture to the left is crazy bow night.. Chey won with several other girls for her bow.. and or course she "worked it". My proudest and most joyful moment was the last night when Chey won an overall award that sent me into tears.. she won the "Whole Heart" award. Putting her whole heart into camp, never meeting a stranger and participating with her whole heart. I cry now just telling you.. The whole experience is a blessing and memory to last a long time.

Wow great job Chey! It sounds like you really enjoyed yourselves at the cheerleading camp. It's nice to take sometime out and just enjoy some special moments with your kids. I'm glad you had the opportunity to experience the camp with Chey. I'm sure the throught of 2 weeks off of treatment will help you get through the last treatment before your break. Enjoy your 2 weeks and make some wonderful memories with you family! You continue to stay in my thought and prayers.
