"This is the most exciting day of my life" . . . by Ema

Desert Hills High School Cheer Clinic/Fundraiser.

The girls meet with cheerleaders for four days and then have a performance for family. They learn a short (and by short, I mean 20 second) cheer and dance.

When it was over, Justin said " You paid $20 for that?"

I got better pictures of Ema at practices, but it was so cute to see the girls in their matching shirts, all looking so nervous.

Katie, Lindsay, Ema and Baylie are all in the same Kindergarten class.(this is Katie, Lindsay and Ema)

We had a little emergency right before the performance started when Lindsay hugged Ema and her hair caught on Ema's earring. It pulled it out and Ema freaked out and thought her ear was closing up. I explained to her that it can't close up that fast and then yelled, "Does anyone have an extra earring?" to the audience. (can you just picture me doing that, lol?) A nice lady pulled out a little earring and we were able to put it in her ears. Afterward, she gave the other one to Ema so that she could have a matching pair.

Ema has decided that even though she still loves cheerleading, she wants to be a Vet when she grows up (not a cheerleader).

Bracken might have a future in cheerleading too!

After we were all loaded up in the car afterward, Ema said:

"This is the most exciting day of my life".
