Susan, your kids are now on you tube!!!! search Ethan, Peyton, Jack, Lori, or something like that.


ok so i recently got back from performing at the Alamo Bowl and figured it would be an exciting post. so... here it goes.

we left our tiny hometown at 7:50 in the morning, on Saturday December 27th. After a very very long 3 hour drive to San Antonio, we stopped at "The Alamo Cafe". here are a few lovely pics of our time there.

silly girls

this is Lyndee(left) and me waiting on our food.

After eating at the lovely Alamo Cafe, our sponsors took us to the Alamo, just to take a few pictures.these are the freshman Belles.

This is me and Leigh Ann she is my best friend.All of the belles(:


We then went to the riverwalk for 30 minutes of shopping. (woot woot?)
It was so much fun. Especially because all these older guys kept flirting with us... mainly old men.. but it was still hilarious. The funniest comment we got was "Hello Ladies, i sure hope yall are 18, cause i want all of you!" and we got several whistles.
We took a bunch of pictures but overall no one had time to buy anything.
me and alyssa at the mall!me with this weird tree branch thing at the river walk.

Alyssa, Peyton Walker and me on a bridge at the riverwalk.

After the riverwalk, we went to our hotel... the Sheraton Gunter.
We were roomed and then had to get ready for practice.
We got to practice and met our rude, grumpy, flamer of a choreographer named
Michael Schwandt, yes it was confirmed by his assistant choreographer Desiree, he's a flamer.
Michael Schwandt (choreographer) --mean man
Desiree Robbins (assistant)-- nice lady
After 6 hours of practice that day, and 9 hours the next,
everyone was exhausted and ready to go home. We had learned a completely new dance in a day and a half. That night to celebrate practices being over, we went to hard rock cafe. this nice lady made us balloon hats(mine was belle) and then we went back to the hotel anticipating what was to come the next day.
balloon hats!


right before dress rehearsal at 6:30ish in the morning.

The next day we had a three hour dress rehearsal and then went to eat.
We then had the rest of the day off, so the belles went shopping again.

me and an indian statue.

we went back to the hotel after shopping and then got ready for the alamobowl!
