Carrigan had her 2nd meet at her gym this past week.
She did a great job and had tons of fun.

Here are some pictures and videos that I took:

Carrigan is really having a great time at gymnastics. She loves it
and looks forward to going to it everyday. She goes 3 days
a week now. 2 nights for Gymstars and 1 night of tumbling!

She absolutely loves it!!!

I hope you enjoy looking at the pictures and videos as much as I
love making them :-)

Carrigan's 1st Gymstars Meet

The Gainesville "Fun Meet"

Carrigan had her very first gym meet yesterday in Gainesville.
We are so proud of her. She did a great job.
It was kinda questionable for a little while if she was even going to
get to compete because she was not feeling very well.
Luckily we had some medicine to give her and she was a trooper
and went out there and had a great time!

Here are some pictures of Carrigan!!!




This is Carrigan's friend Joiee. They are both Gymstars and
they both take the tumbling class together!!!




She was down on the floor getting ready
to start warming up.



Here are the girls talking to the the coaches.
Their leotards did not come in on time so that
is why they are wearing different things.



Working those arms and back!



Stretch - Stretch!



Back bend!



They are waiting for their time to go.
Carrigan was not feeling really good in this picture!




They are introducing the teams!




This was Carrigan's 1st attempt at the Vault.
During practice she missed it every time but...
she did it when it counted.



Her 2nd attempt. She scored a 7.9 and came in
6th place. We are so proud of you!




On the Bars she got 8.45 and came in
4th place! Way to go Carrigan!!!




This is Carrigan's favorite. She loves the beam. She
was so proud of herself (and so were we) because
she stuck her landing!!
She got a 8.6 and came in 5th





Here she is doing her Floor Routine. She did a great
job and scored an 8.5 and came in 5th.



Carrigan is watching one of the other teams
compete. There were some great girls
there and it was alot of fun to watch!




Carrigan is getting ready to receive one
of her ribbons and medal.



This picture was taken last night after we got home.
The hair came down :-)
She is very proud of herself...she even slept with her medal on.
You can tell in her eyes that she was not feeling very well!!!!

Mommy, Daddy, and Alan are so proud of you!

WAY TO GO CARRIGAN!!!!

SNOW!!
