Miss Lys

Alyssa wanted her turn in the blog spotlight so this post is for her. She had a performance with her gymnastics team this morning at an event called Bonney Lake Days.

Alyssa and some of her teammates showed the crowd many different skills. We are amazed at how quickly she is learning and she just looks so darn cute out there! The owner of the gym narrated the demonstration and frequently reminded the on-lookers of her tender age of six! Her size made her a crowd favorite. She wowed them with her back handsprings. We really were proud of her!


Just look at those nice straight legs and pointed toes!

After the performance, the owner of the gym called for volunteers for a handstand contest. Now that's an offer I can't refuse! It was Alyssa's turn to be proud as I, her not-so-toned mom, beat everybody, including all of the gymnasts!

Following my victory, they brought out some equipment for any children who wanted to join in the fun. Natalie had a great time exploring her monkey side.

Alyssa's first meet is coming up at the end of September. She stills has a lot of work to do to get her routines ready for competition but she sure looked good today!

Impressive T! It must be fun to watch your daughter love gymnastics the way you did. Kenna's not so into it, but she does love to sing and dance like her mama!

Lookin' good Alyssa. You'll have to show us your fancy moves sometime soon. Rylie would love to see you!

You can just tell she is a natural! I can't believe you can still beat all of the younglings at handstands! I don't even think I could do one with a wall to support me. No upper body strength, anymore. I'm impressed....by both of you.
