Gymnastics up meet and Banquet

Sunday May 16th
the day started out with me and kids going to work/Sunday school. I then took kids home for a quick lunch and change of clothes and then Kaelyn and I were off to her gymnastics Up meet. This was just a fun meet for the girls to show the coaches that they were ready to move up to the next level. They got to do the next level up routines on all events. Kaelyn did well. she needed spotting on her bar dismount and on floor for her round off, backhand spring, back tuck. (she can do this but on the back tuck she gets a bit nervous and still wants her coach to spot her) vault she was fine. and then there was beam. she did a great warm up and then got nervous and fell off several times. she missed her back walk over (which she still needs spotting on) and her full turn (which she can do very well but with nerves fell off) and then from there it was a total loss. she was so upset that she would not even high five coach and was in almost tears. oh well coach still knows that she can do it and will have the skills down without spotting very soon. And congratulations kaelyn who will now move up to Level 6.
As soon as she finished her beam routine she took off to change and we were out the door to go and pick up Jake and go get their new glasses. yeah for fast service. We ordered them on Saturday and they were done on Sunday. We then headed home for another quick change and do get all dolled up for Katelyn's gymnastics' banquet. My camera battery died so only got this picture. I had other mom's take pictures but not sure if or when I will get a copy of those. the banquet went great. It was held at the Crown Plaza in Lake Oswego. Aunt Bonnie was able to go with Kaelyn and myself this year. The dinner was great. the speeches were fun. Kaelyn received the Steady Betty award for always being calm and consistent at every meet. the girls also received little trinkets. and the coaches were given great baskets full of gifts from the girls and parents. And Kaelyn showed off her new glasses. What a fun night.
