On Wednesday this week Caitlyn finally got her competition leotard and warm-up set. She was so excited to wear it that she wore it all morning over her school uniform before she left for school (Drew rarely misses an opportunity to be photographed).
I took of picture of Drew, Caitlyn and Brayden, and when I looked at the shot, Caitlyn and Brayden weren't looking at the camera but Drew had this expression that gave me a good laugh!
Evan thinking he's pretty cool.
Caitlyn had her first gymnastics meet in Monument this weekend and did really well. There were 5 teams and about 80 girls, and even though she admitted she was nervous, she seemed to have fun once the competition started. Here she is practicing on the beam before the event started.
Can you tell she's a little excited!?

Waiting with her team--for this being most of the girls' first meet, they seemed pretty relaxed. (Caitlyn is on the left end)
She made sure I took a picture of her from pretty much every angle so that everyone could see her full uniform.

Caitlyn ended up getting a medal in 4 events, but I honestly don't know what she placed in each event. It was hard to hear the announcer and they were running through the awards so quickly, so I will have to find out from her coach this week what Caitlyn's final scores were. We were so proud of her though!
I know she placed 5th in this event, but I don't know what the event was...
Caitlyn's team placed 3rd overall which we were surprised by because they were one of the younger teams.The girls were all very excited as you can tell and were all wanting to hold the trophy. Caitlyn is hidden behind one of her teammates.
1st Meet Accomplished!

Last week we had some of our friends over, and the kids decided to each make snowmans with the little snow we had left in our front yard.
From this picture you would think that Drew had just fallen, but he had actually thrown himself on the ground because he was upset about something. His sweet brother wanted to make sure he was ok though, and comforted his brother during his pity party.

Caitlyn had her friend Makenna come and stay last weekend and the girls had fun catching up since they don't get to see each other very often.
Ready to watch a movie
Good Friends

Evan decided to do his hair yesterday and I think he used a little too much water! ;)
