First Game of the Season!

Tonight was the first home game of the season. Last year (and every year before) it was only about Ashley cheering but this year is different - Brad is in the Marching Band and so we are very proud to enjoy the entire game in a couple of different ways!

Brad plays the trumpet and played all last year as a beginner. Since our town is pretty small the middle school students are allowed to try out for the high school Marching Band in 7th grade after a year or more of playing. He was so excited to have been chosen and worked really hard over the summer. He was a little nervous for the halftime show. Despite his nerves, though, he did great!






Ashley's squad is looking good so far - I'll admit to being the proud momma of the best tumbler on the team. :) She's a flyer, just like last year, and has really gotten her scorpian and basket toss looking good. I missed the basket at its peak but got some good shots of her stunts.







Except for the loss to the Rams, the game was a lot of fun. Brooklyn was enjoying herself up to a certain point and then she was ready to go. We decided that from now on, one of us takes her home after the halftime show, lol. I made a hairbow for her with the initials of the school "TC" on it and got a ton of compliments. I was pretty proud myself - I made it about 30 minutes before we left for the game.



Go T.C. Rebs! Have a great season!!
