Sky View????

21 years ago I was about ready to graduate as a super proud Logan High Grizzly...

Which is why I would have never dreamed that I would say this today...

Even still I feel like looking around to see who might beat me up when I say it.

But...

OK here goes...

I'm a Sky View High School fan.

Yes I'm a traitor.

I married a SV boy.

And went to and loved Logan High.
And have fought with him for years about the "better school".
But I'm SO outnumbered at my house!

And NEVER in a million years thought that I would actually cheer for SV over LHS... 

BUT I DO!

I should have known that this might happen when Shane forced me to live in the "country".

Hahahahahhahaha

But truthfully it's like this.

I don't know kids that go to Logan,

I know the Sky View kids,

I admire the awesome youth in our ward... that go to Sky View.

My daughter is SO happy at that school.

Her amazing friends go to Sky View.

And now our Tayler is a...

SKY VIEW CHEERLEADER

so yeah.  I'm a Bobcat Fan!!

Going to be attending lots of sporting events I guess.  :)

It was a stressful two week tryout process that started with 40 girls.  Judges cut it down to 24 after the 1st week.  Then posters were made and displayed at school.

We used these cute pics on her poster.

 

The remaining 24 then tried out the next day in front of the school with their dance/cheer and individual introductions.

All those girls were so brave to put themselves out there.

Tayler was pretty nervous about what she had decided to do for her intro...

She dressed up in a "Peanut Costume".

Went out and introduced herself with something like this.

"I want to tell you about myself in a "nut shell".

There are 3 reasons you should vote for me.

1st I"m "nuts" about Sky View.

2nd I'll be your "nutty buddy"

and 3rd... I don't need a 3rd reason, I'm standing in front of my entire studentbody wearing a "nut suit" you'd be "nuts" not to vote for me.

It was obviously memorable because people throughout the week told her they didn't even know who she was but that they were definitely voting for the "nut girl".  :)

And then after waiting and stressing for 3 more days I got the text to come to the assembly.

I had been waiting all day knowing that I was either going to be picking up a very sad girl before the cheer/exec introduction assembly, or going to the assembly to see a very happy girl.

I think I was more nervous than her!

It was a little bitter sweet knowing that 8 girls were heart broken. :(

And she was super sad for a couple good friends that didn't make it on exec for next year too.

But she's totally excited to be cheering with her cute friend Liza...

And she's excited to get to know the other 14 girls better too.

What a fun experience for her.  We love her lots and are o so proud of the girls she is.

I have yet to wear anything that says Sky View on it...

that sounds like a really big step...

but stranger things have happened. :)

and PS...

Dear Mother... I know you raised me better than this...

but at least I don't cheer for BYU... right???  :)
