MYKAE'S GYMNASTIC MEET

On Saturday Mykae went to her first gymnastics meet in St.George. This was her first meet after she had cracked her growth plate in her elbow, most of the girls have been to at least 4 or 5 meets already. I have to say she did pretty good and I was impressed with what she has accomplished. She was still scared to do her round-off back hand spring (that's how she hurt herself) but hopefully she will get over that fear and be able to do it in the next meet. But I was very proud of her and that she has worked so hard in the last year and she has not complained about being gone for 3 days a week for 3 hours to go and train. And I am glad that she stuck with it even after getting hurt. All of the girls did an excellent job and the team ended up taking 3rd place, way to go Flex It Team.


This is Mykae's Floor Routine..

EASTER DAY

On Easter Sunday we had all of my family over for dinner and of course for an easter egg hunt. Actually it was a candy hunt, we didn't color eggs this year because we were busy with the fair. (Hopefully next year we will color eggs) The kids had fun looking for the candy, but I think Tahj was watching Grandpa & Grandma hide the candy because he ended up with the most candy. And of course the girls had to argue over which candy they got and didn't get. But we all had a fun time even Jared was getting candy. The kids were excited that Brooke & Jody were able to be here too and also glad that they are moving back to Vegas. So summertime the kids will spending time between Brooke & Jody's and Jared & Monica's houses. Thank goodness for aunts & uncles..

RODEO

On Saturday night we went to the rodeo as a family(yes even Mykae & Maliyah went) and Tahj loved it. His favorite was bare back and saddle bronc, he told me he wanted to ride the horses that did the jump, jump!! Good thing he fell asleep before the bulls came out, I'm sure he would of wanted to ride those too!! My wonderful husband is such a trooper, we took Preslee to the rodeo too and she only lasted about 15 minutes. He ended up walking her around the fair instead of getting to watch the rodeo (I had surgery and can't hold & walk around with her). Mike will be glad when I am all healed and back to normal, so he doesn't have to be Mr.Mom anymore. But the rest of us had a good time at the rodeo..I wish I would of got more pictures but my battery was going dead.

CLARK COUNTY FAIR

One of the days we took Bella with us so her and Tahj could go on the rides together. They had lots of fun as you can tell in the pictures. My favorite pictures are when they are holding hands walking to the next ride and when they are about to kiss(Tahj already making his move, better not show Kyle that picture), The girls will ask Tahj who his girlfriend is and he tells them Bella. I guess they were meant for each other!! One of the pictures Mike being the chaperone.. They are just too cute together!!

Pictures of Tahj and Maliyah riding the rides. Maliyah did hang out with us for a little bit one night, just because all of her friends left to go home. Maliyah doing what she does best, EATING!! Tahj & Preslee fast asleep from all the fun they had at the fair. Tahj loved the motorcycles and roller coaster, those were his favorites.
Here are some pictures of everyone having fun at the fair. I think most of the pictures will be of Tahj. The girls didn't want to hang out with their mom & dad. (Just not cool to hang with your parents). Tahj was excited that Jared & Monica came to the fair for alittle bit. He was also excited about seeing the turtle dude and riding on the ponies. Even Preslee had a little bit of fun, she slept most of the time which was good. Oh look, there is a picture of Maliyah with her dad at the fair!!
On friday it was Maliyah's turn to perform at the fair. It started with her singing with the children's choir at 11 am and then of course we just decided to stay and let the kids ride the rides and hang out with their friends. Then later that day she had her clogging performance. I am also proud of what she has learned also. I know how hard it is to switch clogging teachers but she has learned so much also!!
On Thursday Mykae's gymnastics team performed at the fair. They did a couple of routines and also a routine using the springboard. I finally got to see Mykae in action, a couple of months ago Mykae cracked her growth plate in her elbow at gymnastics. She is finally healed and can now perform with her team. I am excited to see her finally compete in some meets that are coming up. She is still a little scared to do her round-off back hand spring but hopefully she will get over her fear and get it down again. I am very proud of what she has learned and accomplished, having only been taking gymnastics for a year. Good Job Mykae!!
