Flip Flop Fun Meet

Lex has been in tumbling now for two years. He's signed up for recreation and so doesn't get the opportunity to compete. The gym displays their trophies around the facility and Lex is always wishing for one. A few times a year, the gym puts on a fun meet which is for all gymnasts to show off their skills and get prizes. So, Lex & Isabel expressed an interest in participating and signed up for this event. It was a lot of fun watching them show off the new skills they've learned. When I sometimes go to watch Lex or Isabel practice, I don't always get to see what they are doing because the seating area doesn't have a view of the entire facility. They are getting so good & so flexible. Who knew my kids could bend so far?!

The kids all warmed up together and then split off into their appropriate age groups & levels. The girls had four events while the boys had six events.

Isabel Event #1

Lex Event #3

AWARDS CEREMONY

p.s. Lex's "rolling eyes" look lately for pictures comes from his dad. Shane does this quite often when I take pictures of him & I think Lex has caught on. He's been such a ham for the camera lately & so funny & expressive.
FUN BUCKS
For the past few months, the kids earn "fun bucks" in class for good behavior, attendance, listening, etc. They save up their fun bucks to spend at events such as these. Isabel chose a tootsie pop & cinderella mini-frisbee. Lex chose two bouncy balls in which he gave one to his dad to share.

About Me

My photo
Shane and I met my senior year of high school in 1996 and were married in 2000. It's just crazy to think we've known each other for more than a decade and still learn new things about each other. We both graduated from the University of Utah. I have a degree in Finance and Shane has a degree in Biology. We are both enjoying jobs in our respective fields. Our favorite thing to do is travel. Before we started a family, we spent two weeks in Europe touring Italy, Germany, Switzerland, and France. We want to see the world and hopefully take our children along with us when they are older. Our children are our life. Alexander "Lex" is our little man at 7 years old. He loves to try lots of new things. He's currently enrolled in soccer, tumbling & boys' hip hop. Isabel (or Bel as Shane likes to call her) is 3 1/2 years old. She is also enrolled in tumbling & dance. All in all, life is wonderful and we couldn't be happier.
