Came in the other night with a whole pile of new stuff. Stuff - t-shirts, hoodies, practice shorts / leos New comp shoes and leo (warm ups still to come) New favorite t-shirt Gotta love the start of another season! Skills are going great. She is really pumped for this year.

After a three and a half hour practice, cupcakes are good. Sam and her team mates took time to celebrate her 12th for a few minutes. Good coaches, good gym, and good friends.

This was her 3rd trip to this meet and my first, and I have to say Wow! She has always talked about how "cool" this meet is, and I would agree. Excellent venue, great / comfortable seating, and Big. The meet ran on time the whole weekend, and even though it is a 4 hour drive we had fun during...

Wow. What a week it was leading up to it. She had the "eye of the tiger" 2 weeks ago. Then a fall on giants leading to a text last Thursday...."I fell and I am scared I don't want to do it". Without ever telling her she had to we consoled and listened. Then I told her if you don't want to do...

Went to pick up dd at the gym last Friday evening. Fridays are just gymnasts no cheer so I gladly do the pick up. Younger daughter went also so she could get a little play time. Usually I will take my seat upstairs mind my own business and watch. I happened to go downstairs for a drink. There...

See if there is a floor routine here.

Saw the other "camp time" thread, and thought I would add this one. Dropped off the oldest and youngest yesterday (8 & 10). Younger daughter is part of the Friends and Family program this year. I think it is a first for this. She (8 yo) was certainly less concerned than her mom or I about it...

We have had and I think made it through our first mental block. I was told by our coachs to not worry about it. "Everybody goes through it", "she's going to be fine". Honestly it was tough to watch. Sam has progressed very well through the years. Never really having trouble with much at...

Thought I would share a last years story with you guys. Last year at the beginning of L4 Sam and I were talking about a team mates older sister. She had just gotton a cell phone (7th grade) and Sam was curious as to when she might get one. She then followed with several reasons why she...

Got that first L5 meet out of the way yesterday. It went well. I think this will be the first year that I am finally able to watch vault and somewhat gauge what a score should be.(never really got the 2,3,4 vaults) Sam scores were: 8.85 vault 9.250 bars...

I posted back when Sam wrapped up her compulsory season, and she began her Prep-Op season 2 weeks later. She has continued on a fantastic run. 4 meets with 3 AA golds . Wrapped up today with a 38.5 earning the AA State Champion title for the 8 year old Prep Op 1 division. Her team took top...

Level 4 compulsory was a good season for us. Sam is a first year L4 and had 5 competitions this year. She has worked very hard and her focus this year has been exceptional. She has competed since L2 and has amazed me with her desire to progress. She wrapped up the season with an average score...
