Gymnastics Meet

Officially, gymnastics is a sport that requires balance, strength, flexibility, agility, coordination, endurance and control. Unofficially, it's a sport that we simply love! Lindsey started us down this road, and now we are taking the journey with Maddie.  Lillian is almost ready to compete, too!  While you are performing as a team, all eyes are on the individuals as they perform!  It takes nerves and lots of willpower!

Pre-meet fun!



Ready to compete!


Lillian spent the meet playing, watching and supporting her big sis! It won't be long before she's out there, too!  


Friends, family and fun!



She started on the floor! 9.1






The beam is usually her strongest event. 9.050


She simply did not have her  best performance on the bars at the last meet.  BUT, she worked really, really hard, and this meet the bars were her best event! 9.2



Winning is not what we strive for, doing your best and having fun is our goal!  With that being said, we all said, "Thank you, Jesus!" when this event was over!


The vault was on the other side of the gym and my pictures were terrible, but she also scored a 9.050 on the vault!  We were so proud that she scored over 9 on all 4 events!!

This stinker was a trooper!


Waiting on awards! And aren't they precious!?


Individual medals were awarded!  


This two eagerly awaited the results! (Hat hair don't care!!)



And then this happened!!  She had no idea she had earned the top overall spot!!


You go girl!


Family picture time!






We can't wait until the next meet!  She is playing soccer  and practicing gymnastics during the week, with meets on every other weekend!  They keep us busy!




 Winning is lots and lots of fun, but we are so proud that she worked hard and improved in every area from the last meet.  Win, lose or draw, we couldn't love her more!
