Gotta Brag

Michael, Courtney and Kenzie

Have I mentioned how proud I am of my daughter, "adopted" son, granddaughter and all the girls at the gym? Courtney and Michael opened their cheerleading/tumbling gym, with the finanical and physical support of some wonderful folks, less than a year ago. They began with only 4 girls that had ever cheered before, 1 girl who had been a gymnast, and several other girls who could barely turn a cartwheel. They took the girls from rank beginners to a National level team in these few months. At our last competition we missed winning Nationals by a few points. This is almost unheard of in the cheer competition world.
Courtney and Michael are so patient with these girls and love them so much. They have trained and nurtured these girls into giving their best every time they go on the floor. The gym always has a positive attitude...even when stunts aren't hitting and counts are off and no one can remember the dance. The girls are encouraged to dig deep and practice and pull it together and they always do!

The name of the gym is LoneStar Elite in LaGrange, Texas. Here is a pic of Kenzie, Courtney and Cami (granddaughter of Dale and Mike whose finanical and physical support made the gym possible). You can see by their faces how much love and happiness is in this gym.
