Spent last Saturday cheerin' on our girls! First up, Jensie's early-mornin' swim meet-
Left her team cap and goggles in the taxi, but I'm a big fan of swimmers in Pippi braids.
Action shot! One of Jensie's biggest accomplishments this season has been to figure out rotary breathing. Tricky stuff!
Army Warming Tents: quite possibly the coolest part of a winter swim (she made that face).
Next up came Nat's last basketball game of the season. I wish I could think of some clever word play here, cheering for the cheerleader, but alas...
We weren't the only ones
I don't know what this is called, but "high kick" sounds good, right? She does it well.
Flying!
All of the school's senior athletes were recognized during half time, so I got to escort Nat across the gym. I see three things here: 1.) I am a giant. 2.) I look like my mom. Like, a lot. 3.) I need to grow my hair back out. (Ch-ch-ch-chia!)
Let's take a minute to recognize this senior:
Nat is a compassionate friend and very sweet aunt.
Her free babysitting can't be beat.
4.0 GPA, yeah baby!
Made All-American cheer
Voted "Best Dressed" (haha, Senior Superlatives). Obviously.
Has the best legs on the planet
Oh yeah, did I mention she drives a motorcycle?
Is moving back to the states to go to college this Fall. WAH WAH WAH!
Frankie dressed herself.
Go Team!
Go Jensie! You're a WAY better swimmer than me. I never learned how to do that fancy swimming breathing.
ReplyDeleteAnd Nat, you're high-kick is seriously impressive. I can't wait 'til you're home.
Frankie and Jensie = Awesome cheerleaders!
Wow wow wow wow !!! Jensie -- great swimming ! Natalie, oh my gosh. Your kick is seriously 2 feet over your head. Congratulations on all your many and varied examples of awesomeness. Thanks for the wonderful pictures. You're all incredible.
ReplyDeleteJensie and Frances, the next generation of All-American Cheerleaders! Your Papaw sure is proud of you!!
ReplyDeletelove, Papaw
Natalie, you are just dang cool, that's all there is to it. I especially like that you're 'flying' in front of the Nat 2012 poster. I sure do love you, Kiddo!
