Still At It

Ah man.  It's hard to believe we're 6 years into this now.  But at least we're becoming professional at navigating the competitions (I paid for NO parking and we were on time).  We had this year's first 2 day competition - with jackets - last week. 

Olivia's team has been killing it this year and got a summit bid to Florida at the first competition of the season.  She's worked hard and has beautiful, straight leg front and back walk overs. 

They won first place and got the jacket.  Last year she didn't go to this competition so she "sneak wears" Addie's coat like this one and finally has her own.

Addie's team had a strong start, but they keep dropping stunts.  Unfortunately it's been the same flyer for the previous three competitions - which is disappointing after awhile.  Friday they had a perfect routine and we were all hopes for jackets . . . and a summit bid.

But the flyer dropped . . . to the floor.  They lost the summit bid, but they got the jackets.   I have to admit this was the first time I was crushed by the loss.  If we're going to Florida, I really want to be going for both girls.  We still have one last chance. 

Ruby and I spend quality time in the car together, I introduced the girls to blackberry shakes, I wished Grandma Sharp was still living right next to the Salt Palace, we went to Kneaders, shopping and I had fun at my first official outing with my

girls.

Ruby found a way to sleep through most of it . . . and be really cute.
