This month has been a very busy one. It started the week before thanksgiving. We went to Pismo beach for the holiday and the kids loved it. I will post about that another day. Then we started on Drill Competitions. We had 2 in December. They were both on Saturday. If you don't know, competitions last ALL DAY. So there was no time to shop. On top of that Cortlyn had 3 dance performances plus all the wonderful family Christmas parties that we attended. So that might explain why we have been missing from this blog for a while now.
Shawnee and her team mates in the drill down. Shawnee did pretty well during this considering this was her first drill down. She lasted longer then most of her team.
This is there kick routine. They got 5th place on this one.
Shawnee in all her dance makeup and fake eye lashes. You can't tell she has fake ones on they look so natural. She has long lashes to begin with. Lucky girl.
This is there Military routine. They are required to do head stands and Shawnee is in the middle. The five girls that you see are the only ones that can hold their head stands the longest. You rock Shawnee. They took 5th place in this dance.
Here is their hip hop dance. They took 3rd in this one. In their dance routine they took 5Th place. They did very well for their first competition of the year. Lets hope they can keep this up and they will take state. Go Westlake Storm. Keep up the good work Shawnee.
Happy 36th Birthday Brad. It was a bummer night for him a little bit. Shawnee had her first ever Storm Night. Storm Night is when the drill team showcases all there routines for the year. So we went to that. Brad did have a yummy dinner of Marinated Turkey, cheese potatoes, baked beans and carrots. After the Storm night we came home to a German chocolate cake and ice cream with opening of presents. The kids were helping wasn't that nice of them.
After the girls showcased their dances they had a boy drill down. It is where you have to follow and listen to instructions and move how they tell you. Ty heard boys come on down and he was going. He didn't know what they were doing but he was going to do it. Of course he is front and center.
A ten hut. He followed the instructions pretty good but he did get his directions mixed up a little bit. The boys would be one way and he was the other.
Parade rest. He lasted the whole time of course. He was the star of the drill down for sure.
He was the overall winner. Parade wave and all.:) This kid cracks me up.
Shawnee doing her kick line routine "Crazy Train" She does an areal in this dance.
Her Dance routine "When Love Takes Over" She is pretty flexible this girl.
Military routine "Introduce a Little Anarchy" They all do head stands pretty impressive.
Love all the facials that these girls give. Shawnee did an awesome job. Her team has placed high in their routines. They have placed high enough to receive 6 trophies so far this season. They still have Region and State to go to still. What a great group of girls and the coaches are amazing as well. The girls have worked very hard. Go get em STORM.
