brag alert

Hi Everyone - first of all I want to say Thank You for all the fairies. DD had a great meet. The meet was VERY long !!!! There were 11 girls in DD's group and it was VERY competitive: Beam: 9.325 - 2nd Place Floor: 9.300 - (personal best) no place :eek: Vault: 8.875 - no place Bars...

DD had her last L4 meet of the regular season. Just states and we will be done (on to level 5, finally!) The meet was a 4 hour drive (at least for most people from our gym....DH is a pilot...we flew) so everyone stayed overnight except us. First event was vault. She got a 9.3 and was looking...

My son just had his first meet of the L4 season (2nd yr)...He did awesome!! I have been so worried for him because he was recently diagnosed ADHD and put on meds.... I still can't believe how well he did...He got 1st place on pommel horse, 2nd on Pbars and 3rd on everything else...3rd place All...

DD got her full tonight !!! She was starting to work on it when she hurt her wrist - which was about 5 or 6 months ago now (wow how time flies) Anyway - she has been doing her standard tumbling - bhs, tucks, layouts, etc. Tonight when she was working with her tumbling (gymnastics) coach, he...

My oldest DD had her last in-house meet last night as a L3. She got a 37 something all-around and she starts L4 this week. We are very excited for her. She scored really well... vault 9.4 bars 9.15 (got her mill circle with straight leg the DAY BEFORE the meet!) beam 9.5 floor 9.35...

Well, it's been a long time in the making...but DD finally got her giant!!! She was so happy & said " they are really fun!". Just for some history my DD(13yrs old, level 7) has had many fear issues (on all the events). Many times we thought these fear issues would bring an end to her gymnastics...

OK, so mostly I'm bragging about my mad video editing skills (or something of that sort anyway) But, yeah, I also wanted to share my little gymmie: YouTube - Gymnastics montage

DD had her last meet before states today (well, we don't really have an official State Meet for L3, but an area gym hosts a Season Finale). She had a great day. Vault 9.550 - 1st Place (all of the vault scores were very high today & personal best) Bars 9.000 - 2nd Place Beam 8.775 - 3rd...

Aren't I lucky? This is the first night in a long time all my girls got a skill in the same night!:D Well, Hannah did her kip cast handstand on the high bar! Then Leah got her back walkover on high beam, and Ally did her tuck on floor! They rung the bell on all 3 of them- Hugs and high-5's from...

We just got back from DD's first L3 meet of the season. Here is how she did :D Vault: 9.425 (personal best) - 1st Place Bars: 9.050 (personal best) - 1st Place Beam: 9.150 (personal best) - 1st Place Floor: 9.050 (personal best) - 2nd Place AA: 36.675 personal best and 1st Place Tied for...

She FINALLY got a ROBHS,BHS, after about 6 mos of trying.!! Her coach had to spot a little on that second one, but so what! She was so excited, she kept asking on the way home if it "looked" hard. Do we think we could do it? Did we do that when we were her age? . I told her sure, I could do that...

DD did her kip! She actually did three of them, two at an open gym birthday party last weekend and one at practice last week. She doesn't "have" the kip and she tells me that the ones she's done weren't "right" but I'm happy for her just the same. As they are training L4, they aren't learning...

I just wanted to brag a little bit. I was watching my DD at gym this week and I am so amazed at how much she has improved and how rapid the improvement has been. I really didn't see why they invited her to be in the developmental class to begin with. To me she showed no special ability and...

My dd is doing her round off back tuck dismount by herself on the high beam. After practice her coach came out and told me she's got it and it looks really good :)

I just had to share! A couple photos to share of DD a.k.a. Beetle during her Floor routine this year. I just got the disk in the mail today. Thanks for indulging me!!

Wow... I was shocked when she did her kip/ front hip once tonight and then she went on and repeated it 3 more times on her next turns through the stations. Straight arms kips right to straight arm front hips to horizontal casts... bam bam bam.... She just keeps getting stronger:) And just...
