JAMZ- Las Vegas

Last year when we traveled to California for Karlee's cheer competition, it was a disaster...drama and lack of success were killers...it was fun to be together, but we were hoping for a better experience this year. WE GOT IT! Audree joined us this year as we traveled to Las Vegas for the JAMZ Nationals. The teams did such a fabulous job and both girls were able to perform beautifully. The weather was incredible (80 degrees in February!), the place was rockin' and we just had ourselves a couple of days FULL of cheerleading. If we weren't performing we were putting hair in curlers, taking hair out of curlers, putting on make-up, changing into uniforms, eating snacks, walking to the next awards ceremony, or watching the performances. We managed to sneak in 2 very short trips to the pool, a dinner at Metro Pizza and a sacrament meeting. Whew, it was exhausting and exhilarating! The girls competed against teams from Hawaii, Alaska, Arizona, California, Las Vegas, Kansas City and more. Both teams ended up taking 6th place (Audree's team out of 15 teams and Karlee's team out of 13 teams). We were so excited about how well they did for their gym's first time going there. What a fabulous weekend, but we sure missed the other half of our family were so excited to be together again!
