SHOCKER

Well, this was a SHOCKER!!!  The family was talking about High School for Elle next year and as a joke I said Elle I signed you up for Cheerleading at JSerra!!  Elle, said "really mom!"  So, Riley also played in and said "YES ELLE!!''  We thought it would be a GREAT joke....but then Elle says,
Yes, I think I would like to do that!  My jaw dropped and said really?  She said I would enjoy it and it would be a great way to meet new friends and I love football!  Then I said "Elle but you have never cheered in your life! You took dance lessons when you were little and tumbling but that is all!"  She said, she thinks she will be able to do it and do it well:)
SO.... if you are serious we need to get working!!!!
So last night I was trying to teach her a few moves....so funny!  I have never cheered in my life...I have always been a sports Mama!!  Is this real?  Are we really going to have a cheerleader in the house?  This will be a new adventure for our family.  Riley, said I will help you!!!
I was going crazy...like I do....o.k. we need to call and ask some of the JSerra cheer girls to help you...I need to find a place to train you....let's go on Youtube....Oh my...we need to call your grandmother that was a dancer....oh my...I can't help you in this area....mama is FREAKING out!!!
O.K..... Is this the beginning of the surprises I'm going to have with Elle in High School!!!
Mama O'Brien is a bit crazy right now!  Stay-tune to Elle O'Brien's high school journey!

JSerra Test Day

Elle's high school adventure has begun!  She took the JSerra high school placement test today.
It's crazy to think my last baby is getting ready for high school!!!  I can not believe it!
We are not sure yet which high school she will attend, but we are sure GOD will place her
where she is meant to be:)

We love you Elle!!!  GOOD LUCK!! Love always, Mom, Dad, Conor and Riley
