This time last year I had younger dd as a level 2 and older dd as a level 4 repeater. Meanwhile I was preggers. :) My little boy was born in August at 34 weeks. He is doing great. At 9 mos, he is on the smaller size but is meeting all skills and ahead on most. We had to jump right into meets in...

Ellie ran through the house and caught her foot on a corner. She cried for a few minutes and kept on going. Monday she was up and around. It looked fine other than a cut. No complaints from her. She asked me to wrap it for gym because there was a bruise. I wrapped it. She did 3 hours of...

Ellie has been making major progress between bouts with the tummy bug. She finally has her kickover. This has been a struggle due to super tight shoulder muscles. :) It is a beautiful sight to see. We have struggled with it for over a year. I've been stretching her every night for a year. She...

We have had a solid month of the stomach bug being passed between my girls. We have tried to do everything to prevent the spread of it, but it did not work. We have lysoled, bleached, and changed tooth brushes and tooth paste. Hopefully we are at the end of it. So they are just coming back to...

When we arrived at gym last night we were greeted by some new staff. We now have a dance instructor on staff, and a well known coach who has coached several level 10's. He wanted to get back into the game. And was our coaches mentor. The girls LOVED it. The girls worked on KIPS, front hip...

I posted about the actual weekend on the parent section but thought I would say some stuff here. :) What a great experience and well run meet! The judges were amazing. They smiled at all the girls and didn't look all sour like the ones in our home state do most of the time. :) They interacted...

We spent the weekend in Baton Rouge! We had a blast. Unfortunately, my hubby had to work and missed all the fun. Friday night-we attended the LSU vs Univ. of New Hampshire college meet. It was amazing. The girls were in heaven. :) They got all the LSU college girls autographs and pics plus a pic...

I know it happens, but it is hard. Daughter's gym had to close(flooded) and the girls had to move to the coach's other facility in a neighboring town. For me, it is still a 20 minute drive. We are now in a better area with more things to do around the gym. So I can drop the girls off and go to...

Older daughter was the one who would stop in the round off and not throw the BHS. Or stop and then throw the BHS. She eventually got it in October. A few weeks ago her coaches introduced her to the RO-BHS-BHS. She is now regularly throwing these on the tumble track un-spotted. This weekend, she...

Daughter needs new grips. :) She has outgrown her old ones. She loves the look of the Nastia Luikin grips cause they are pink and black and white-her team colors. She wants them to taper in across the palm. Which ones do I need to get her? Help. I found some on DGS but I don't know if they taper...

New years eve weekend daughter's gym was effected by tornados. It flooded the gym. Horrible. The following weekend-the ice melted and more rain. The gym had to shut down and move all operations to the other facility-equal distance from us but opposite direction. Daughters are now training on...

DD2 while only 7 is very long waisted. I am having a hard time finding leos that fit her. Her girth is 51. But she is still the shape of a child. She is either a adult x-small or adult small depending on the brand. There are 2 leo stores in town and in the surrounding mid state area. They don't...
