A day in the life of

Today was one of those dreaded days where Doug and I had to divide and conquer to make it to all of our kids' activities.  Oh, and throw in a 12 hour work shift for me and a Brownies meeting before it all started and that was one busy Saturday!!

5th all-around

Ready to go on floor

1st place team!

Kaiya's first level 7 floor routine

I know I may have mentioned how hard Kaiya worked to get to today, but it's worth another mention.  The only thing she wanted was to be here at this meet on this day.  Well, she did more than that.  In her first ever Level 7 meet, this girl did so good.  She had a few goofs (narrowly missed her giants and fell once on her hardest skill on beam), but overall looked so confident and definitely showed the world that she deserved to be there!  No scores below an 8.0 and QUALIFIED for the state meet on her first try.  Add to that a 4th place finish on beam, 6th on floor, 5th on bars and 5th all-around and I'd say she had a pretty good day.

Had to also include the video from Kinley's first ever piano recital.  She practiced like crazy and was definitely ready.  She was riding a high from her basketball game earlier in the day where she had 6 of her team's 16 points and 3 fouls.  A good day for both of my girls indeed!!

Not the greatest video, but you can still hear it.  Her piano teacher always does a Christmas recital after the holidays are over to save everyone the stress of one more thing on the calendar in January. :)
