Molly’s first Official Gymnastics Meet

Molly competed for her first time today in an official USAG meet. She was soo stoked!

A little nervous at times, but she didn’t show it. I think she was more overwhelmed. But she handled it all really, really well.

She took 4th over all in her age group on bars (excellent!) and did very well in vault. I think she got the short end of the stick on her floor routine, the judges were very harsh and her balance beam wasn’t her best.

She finished 10th over-all (which is the combined scores in all events). Not too shabby for a newbie.

Afterwards she wanted to do it again. 🙂 She was ready to go.

Later on the way home while talking to Grandma, she told her “She could go through it again if she had too”.

I took about 600 photos of her and the other gymnasts. Once I get them sorted I’ll post them to the gallery.

She still gets to compete as an 8 year old this weekend which will be a bonus, after this weekend though, she gets booted up into the 9 year old bracket. We wish her well! Mom and Dad are proud of her.

2005 New Years Eve

A good time was had at my cousin Angie’s house with her housband Kris.

Thanks for having us!

I know the girls enjoyed playing with Bruce, and hanging out with Suzie.  It was fun playing cards with Lisa and Hughffff too.

It was fun taking your money too, er at least part of it.  We broke even for the the night.

Adam was the big winner, and I’d guess so seein how he was drinking water the whole time.

Sheesh, I kept waiting for the wrestling match to break out.  Wanted to see Hugh put the boy where he belonged, show him how math really works out in the country.  Don’t be dissin a guy that big for that long. 🙂

Great fun.

Thanks again for having us.

The Final Christmas Get together

The Dishers and the Lumans at the Dishers.

Once again we returned to my parents to have dinner and exchange gifts with my dads side of the family.

My grandpa and grandma ‘butchie’ as they are reffered to, because my grandpa always called me ‘butchie’ when I was little.

My uncle Mike and aunt Karen, cousin Jeremey and his wife Glenda and son Ivan. My other cousin Jeff and his ficticious wife ‘Amanda’ is it? Didn’t come, something about the stomach flu or something. I still haven’t met this wife of his.

Glenda is pregnant so Ivan’s getting a brother in the summer.

Robin and Ken were there with Emery and Sofia as well.

Again good food, good beer, good times. Lots of gifts. Ivan got a sword, what more does a boy need? 🙂

Michael is taller than Jeremey now, but so are most people 😉

Aunt Karen and Uncle Mike are looking good, as are Grandma and Granpad Butchie.

Tea Parties

The girls used their gift certificates to Toys-R-Us to buy yet another tea party set.

The next day when mom was out shopping with grandmother they had themselves a little tea party. Maggie even made french toast to go with it.

They mostly cleaned up after themselves and everything. 🙂
