Sectionals ~ 4/4/09

She had a blast! Her routines were all very solid. She did miss her dismount on beam which didn't help her all around score but she still qualified for states by a hefty margin! Her coaches made her do 50 dismounts on Monday after the meet. She wasn't too thrilled about that, haha!

Here are her scores:

• bars ~ 9.225 (5th place out of 17)
• beam ~ 8.375 (did not place)
• floor ~ 9.275 (2nd place)
• vault ~ 9.5 (2nd place)

Her all around score was 36.375 and she came in 7th place out of 17. Not too bad factoring in the fall. As her coach said it's better to get that out of the way and not at states. Of course we are proud of her and her coaches are so proud of her as well!

~Uptraining~

In gymnastics we have been working level 5 stuff. I am learning kips on the bars and level 5 vault and roundoff back handspring back handspring and cartweels on the beam. I have fun doing them. I hope I get them!

(this was written by Pixie. I helped her to understand how to write the blog and got her started but she wanted to write the entry. At first, I helped her with the grammar & punctuation but then I figured since this is her blog I'll let her post as she pleases)

Finally Up & Running!

Pixie and I have been working on it and tweaking it for a little over a week. We wanted to start this blog so that all of her grandparents can check in on her when they want to. Sometimes we're hard to get a hold of, haha!! Feel free to leave her messages here. She loves hearing from all of her gparents! I've set this up so that you do not have to register to reply. It will leave messages as "anonymous" if you are not registered. So, if you don't plan on registering but want to leave her a message be sure to let her know who it's from.

Well, I have 3 videos still to make. I've fallen behind because somebody won't load them onto my computer. But as soon as I have the files I'll make the videos.

Here is Pixie's last video:
