Premier Academy ~ Amateur Red Deer Cheerleading sports team

Some of you may know, some may not, but last year my Daughter Rylee joined the Premier Academy Cheer Team.

It has been so far in our team/club memberships the MOST amazing and rewarding experience yet!

Rylee is in her 6th year of dance, and is very excited to completely drop it, in order to do more nights of cheer ( not sure how I feel about that yet, scheduling will ultimately will decide).

Premier Cheer, is a young club. 2011-12 was only their 3rd year in operation.

They will have 12 teams in their club for 2012-13 season.

They offer tumbling classes, birthday parties, private lessons, recreational and competitive  cheer teams.

They also have implemented an amazing new character development program for all of their athletes called POWERFUL WORDS CHARACTER EDUCATION SYSTEM

Each month they focus on a different Powerful Word!

“We are not only building exceptional athletes but also exceptional leaders and learners through our new Powerful Words System!”

They have classes for all children ranging from ages 4-18.

and the BEST part. is that EVERYONE makes a team.

They provide a safe, exciting and FUN learning experience.

New in 2011 they opened the premier cheer preschool for both 3 and 4 yr olds.

It is not cheer based, but does have a wonderful physical activity each day!

What has MY family received from Premier Cheer?

Rylee has learned the importance of determination and courage.

She has learned how to work as a team.

She has learned that there is no I in team.

She has learned that hard work yields results.

What I find amazing, that while learning all these important LIFE lessons, she still has UBER amounts of fun, and loves her cheer team more each day!

She is 8. She told me last week, she wants to be a cheerleader for life. ( and then she asked me when she could be a coach! LOL)

Phew this ended up a way longer post than I anticipated!

I need your help.

Rylee needs your help.

She is trying her hardest to win a cover on the Canadian National Cheer leading magazine called Twist.

She wants to help Premier Cheer.

What we need you to do is to click the image below, it will open up the same image on Twists Facebook page, then we need you to LIKE it.

Thats it. It will take less time than reading this whole post!

She needs your help, she is 8. Many of the other entrants are 15+ and have friends on facebook.

Rylee is not on facebook, so we are relying on her mommy’s ability to gather the troops!

As of the time of this post, she is a whopping 800 likes away from winning!

Red Deer Photographer ~ Limited Edition “Little Pilots”

Some of you may know that my dad was a pilot.

Some of you know that my dad and my youngest have a totally AWESOME bond between them.

Not many of you know that this idea has been over 2 years in the works.

I have just been lazy, slacking on photographing things for MYSELF.

Finally, on Family Day this year, I took control.

I can NOT wait to share these! Its been hard not to even sneak a peek!

The kids and I slaved in the house all weekend, this airplane started out as a oven box, which we unassembled, then reassembled, glued, taped, and painted.

Then we painted some more.

And some more.

There was so much love and sweat put into this set that It would be a shame to just let me kids ruin it all.

So.

I am happy to announce an afternoon of fun mini sessions.

One day. (TBA early April)

5 available spots.

Then its gone.

Back to my house to be enjoyed (probably trashed) with LOVE.

A trip north! ~ Red_Deer_Photographer

This is another wonderful client that has been featured on the blog before. This time I travelled up to them, rather than them making the trip down to Red Deer to visit me!

I love road trips. This one cost me a bit extra however! LOL ( totally MY own fault ! oopsy) TSK TSK.

Dont Speed

AND NO it WASNT a distracted Driving ticket, it was a speeding ticket, which my children think is REALLY funny.  Until the RCMP came to the door, then Ty started to cry thinking I was going to Jail! ( ya, I don’t speed THAT much!)
