Jumpin' Around :)

We've had many celebrations that have caused us to JUMP recently!! Last weekend, we celebrated Terrance's 9th birthday at Jump-N-Rock, which was our first visit to an indoor trampoline park. It was soooooo much fun!! So much fun that the adults want to go back......by ourselves!! 
I should be in the Olympics, really.
Jumpin' in the pit!!
Bobby is always nearby to help her sis. So sweet!!
The most intense game of dodgeball I've ever seen!! 
Nora's strategy was to hide in the back until everyone else was out. Then, she made her move!!
Time for cake and presents!!
Such a precious and special group of kids (and a big goober in the background)!
Happy Birthday, T!!!

A few months back, we had another reason to JUMP for Halle's 3rd birthday at the West Georgia Gymnastics Center:
More fun in the pit!!!
Sweet girls...
Ring around the roses....
.....we all fall down!!
Weeeeeeeeeee!!!
The biggest kid around:
Time for cake and presents!!
I'll leave you with the goobers.....they like to play, too!!

Cheers to fun times and memories that make us JUMP for joy!! :)

Summer Gymnastics!!

This summer, all 3 girls attended gymnastics on Tuesday mornings. Nora and Ella got to be in class together, and Claira and I did a "Mommy and Me" class. Such a fun way to spend our Tuesdays!!
I love to watch my girls bend and twirl!! :)
Sometimes you gotta bend so you don't break:
The bars:

The beams:
The little firecracker:

Getting her stamp from Ms. Ivy:
My "pretty in pink" gymnasts:
Everyday after class, we'd head over to grandmama's pool and jump in with our leotards on!! Good times!!
And sometimes, we'd jump in with our cowgirl boots, too!! #pickyourbattles

Nora LOVED gymnastics, but has decided to go back to her biggest passion this season: Dance. She's adding hip-hop to her schedule this year which is 3 hours of dance lessons!! Yikes!! But, she loves every minute of it. Ella has decided to stick with gymnastics. She's very good and FAST!! While we tried to get Clairy to stick with gymnastics, she just wasn't ready to do class without her mommy yet. So, she let us know real quick, "I QUIT!!!" I don't blame her, really. We'll hang onto our "baby" one more year until we send her off to Pre-K next August. *sigh*

Cheers to summer gymnastics!!
