check out the new leo

Ok, so our weekends are absolutely crazy but fun. Kaelyn had her first gym. meet this weekend. This is her first meet of the season but also as a level 6 where the routines are longer and much harder. She has struggled to get her back walk over on beam without a spot, Her back tumble run (round off, back hand spring, back tuck) on floor. and her fly away on bar (dismount). So a few weeks ago she got her back walk over on beam but was still too afraid to do it without her coach standing there, but was consistently did it without coach touching her. On floor she was complaining of her tumble run that her heals were hurting her and that was slowing her down. she added another stretch and this past week she got it. coach still spots (without touching her) so that she builds her confidence but she got. and the same time she got her fly away's on bar. all in time for the first meet that was on Saturday. Here are the stats. Floor 8.6 8th place, Vault (not her best) 8.2 did not place for ribbon, Bars 8.325 4th place, Beam (fell twice would of had a 9 if she stayed on) 8.05 did not place for ribbon, And all around 33.20 7th place in age group. This is a great score for first meet. Her next meet is Saturday. Now that the nerves are calming and confidence is building with 1 more week of practice this should be a good meet. here are the videos I have.

Earlier in the day Jessie had dance class and then a soccer game and Jake had a soccer game and gymnastics. Sean was off at outdoor school training all day. We picked him up at 6 and then home for dinner. I missed getting pictures again of the soccer games this weekend. I will have to do better next weekend and try and get some pictures.

On Sunday I had work and then took Jake to his store sale for popcorn fundraiser for cub scouts. I kept hugging me and thanked me for signing him up. He as so cute and had a blast selling popcorn. this is what he would say to get people's attention (this is after pushing a grocery cart to them on the way in and then catching them on the way out. "would you like to buy popcorn so I can go to camp?" I don't know how many people started to turn away and say no but then as they heard him say so he can go to camp they came back. some would buy others would just talk to him and then told him that it was a little out of their budget but they hope he gets to go to camp. so funny. I told him next week he needs to wear his eye patch and he could really get um. (just kidding but it would be nice to have his dues and camp fees all paid up for the year) He sold 254 in popcorn sales and got 16 in donations. go Jake. Lets hope that the next 3 sales go as well.
