I spent this last weekend at the Tacoma Dome with these three girls. They are so amazing! The one in the middle was a finalist! WOW

Catch Up

This post is dedicated to cathing up on Isabelle. Enjoy the photos

Ready to work out... haha

She loves to turn on the CD player and push play to hear her music.

Night Night

There is mac & Cheese all stuck in her hair... she was having a great time smearing and screaming. A big bath followed.

She found this gardening wagon at my parents and wanted a ride. Wheeeee

She loves this hat! There is a matching scraf too.

Districts Bound!

Last Saturday, 'my' girls went to their Sub-District competition and had a wonderful day. Since our practices normally start at 5:30am, they had no problem starting at 8am. They were awake and flying down a very springy, spring floor. Unfortunately, I got a call at 6:30 that morning that our number 2 girl was super sick (sleeping on the bathroom floor all night - sick) and wanted to come and support her team but not compete... We told her no and to stay home and rest. Therefore, being down one girl, we put in our alternates. With that... we told the girls to do their best and to 'stick it' :)

They did!! We started on Bars and they got their seasons highest bar score. Then to Beam, where we had a couple of falls (guess where we are working hard this week??!!) and to Floor, where they stuck gorgeous routines! and last Vault. At the end of session one, we were in 3rd place, of the 8 that were there. However, there was still session two, where 7 more schools were competing. We went to lunch, enjoyed eachothers company and then back to the school to watch the end of session two and await the final scores of which teams would make it on to Districts.

Fifteen school sat on the spring floor... we went through all the individuals that placed on each event, then the All Arounds (one of our placed 4th in All Aound with a new personal best)... then ist was time for the team scores. We new our score, 161.95, but we weren't sure where that placed us. They started at 15th place and went down... 7th place... not us --- Yes! we were in the top 6!! And then it was us, we placed 6th and as a team, WE ARE GOING TO DISTRICTS!!!

Gymnastics

This has been a great season of High School Girls Gymnastics. We had such a huge team this year, that instead of cutting (which we probably should have done) we made a Varsity team and a JV team. We began the season with 42 girls, and ended with 36. 5:30 am practices did not detour many girls... instead it made them more dedicated. Here are a couple shots of the team and individuals at competition.
Seniors hard at work on beam :)
