This is our family's first year doing Pop Warner. We are super excited. It took a lot of work and it cost A LOT of money but we finally got it all taken care of. It was kinda hard finding a team that both boys could be on the same team and that had a cheer squad. The boys were a bit disappointed that they didn't get to be on the team with the friends from their school. Oscar and I were a bit disappointed that they didn't get put on a team that practices a block away from the house. But it all worked out.
So on Saturday's we are Chargers Fans!!! (On Sunday's we're still Eagles Fans) The boys are playing for the Pee Wee team. The girls are on the Cheer Squad for all 3 Charger teams. That means they don't get to cheer at all of their brother's games. From what I can tell with the two schedules it doesn't look like there are any two that are at the same time so the girls will get to go to all the boys' games. They will be in uniform and can do some cheers but the whole squad won't be there.
Practices started on August 1st and were in full effect from the first day. The boys did get a new coach after the first 2 weeks but I think it turned out for the best. The first day they got to practice with pads Lil O was a bit scared but that was from a story I told him. After that they were in it just like all the other boys that have played before. The girls have a GREAT coach and are really loving cheer. The whole house knows how to "spread that V, dot that I and work that C-T-O-R-Y"
The boys got their first taste of "real game" this past weekend at the Jamboree in Cheney. They played in 3 mini games. The girls and I weren't able to make it to the Jamboree because we were at my family reunion. Tino got REALLY sick on Sunday and didn't play at all, but Lil O did in the last 2 games and did pretty good I guess. So this weekend is our first "official" game. We are super excited and I can't wait to see the kids all dressed up.
GO Chargers Go!!!
