It WAS a busy Weekend!

We stopped by the WA State Level 10 meet. Kennedy is an AMAZING cheerleader! She was screaming for all the level 10 gymnasts so much that the coaches came over and personally thanked her. It was very cute.

Saturday morning we woke up bright and early to head to the daffodil parade. I thought I had it all timed perfectly - but as we were heading out the door I realized I had picked up TWO LEFT shoes for Kennedy! UGH! So we had to run to pick up a new pair before heading to the parade. When we got there it was RAINING. It was SO cold! It was a mixture of snow and rain and it felt like snow to us! We were joined by some VERY courageous Cinderella boys and girls who braved the weather to walk in the parade - all in all it was a good time... even though all our fingers were FROZEN!

We completed the weekend by attending Tami's wedding. It was very sweet. Several of the WA Cinderella royalty were in attendance. And completely by accident they all showed up in black! Well - wouldn't you know it? I had Kennedy in white! UGH! Fortunately we had just come from the Miss Washingto sweeper pageant and didn't have time to change before heading to the wedding so we had a black dress in the car - WHEW! Kennedy sang to open the wedding and then after the wedding she changed into her black dress and we got some SUPER cute pictures of Tami and her Cinderella girls. =) Congratulations to Tami and Jonny! We love you guys!

BUSY WEEKEND AHEAD!

Well - we have a full one planned this weekend! We are heading down to my moms for the weekend since all of our activities occur in that area of the state - but first we are stopping by the level 10 gymnastics meet to wish the LEGA girls good luck. Then up bright and early Saturday morning for the Junior Daffodil Parade - which Kennedy will be walking in for Cinderella. Then we are hoping to stop by the ANTSO State pageant in the evening to cheer on some friends. Sunday afternoon we are heading to the Miss Washington Sweeper pageant followed by Tami's wedding Sunday evening. Somewhere in there I have to finish making Tami's wedding cake! Should be interesting!

Bunny Hop Gymnastics

Kennedy had another meet this weekend. Kennedy had a bit of an off day - but still managed to place 4th overall in the 8 and under division. Just 2 weeks until the sectional meet! The next couple of weeks are going to be pretty intense with gymnastics practice and such - but the end is near! State is at the end of April and then we are gearing up for a Cinderella state pageant tour!

Emerald Team Challenge

Kennedy had a really good meet this weekend. She has really been struggling with bar this year - gymnastics is as much a mental challenge as it is a physical one. She has herself convinced that there are things she can't do. Well - she has been working really hard to work though that and this weekend she got her shoot-through in competition! Yeah! She got her highest bar score ever with an 8.425! That was huge for her! She also scored her personal best on beam with a 9.4. She had solid performances on vault with an 8.9 and floor with an 8.8 and got her highest score ever with a 35.525! She was rewarded with 2 medals for her 8th place in the Junior division in both vault and floor and a trophy for her 3rd place finish on beam and another trophy for her 5th place finish overall! I am so proud of her.

Here is her video!

International Royalty Trip to NYC

Kennedy finally had a few minutes to record a video about her trip to NYC. I had to edit it quite a bit because I think there was about 15 minutes worth! Enjoy!

Gymnastics


Besides pageants I spend most of my time doing gymnastics. I practice 3 days a week and I am in the middle of competition season. Our sectional competition is April 4th and State is April 25th. I have a meet this weekend and next weekend! Wish me luck!
