Hannah's First Performance

Hannah had her first gymnastics performance yesterday. We are so proud of how she did! Here are a few photos of her day:

Here she is stretching prior to her routines. This was the first time she was able to wear her Nebraska School of Gymnastics competition outfit.

Here she is on the beam. Usually, they practice on a lower beam for her age group but with a spotter right there, they gave the 'big girls beam' a try.


Hannah doing a cartwheel during her floor routine.

Here she is getting her medal and 'saluting' at the end of the performance. She had a great time and we were very proud of her!!

At the Hill

Yesterday (Saturday), was the day or two after the first real snow of the year so the kids and I decided to hit a local sledding hill. Here are a few photos of the kids having some fun:


Carson after a run. He took a friend along and they spent the time building, and hitting, a sled jump that would launch them a few feet in the air.

Hannah posing for the camera. She started out a little timid and not wanting to sled. Then she started on the bottom of the hill, gradually working up to the full slope. Standby though, that's not all.......

Carson hitting one of his first constructed jumps. Toward the end of the day, he was really getting some air.

After getting up the nerve, Hannah turned in to my Kamikaze kid. Here she's captured getting some air on one of Carson's jumps!

Before we left the slope, we took the opportunity to take a photo of the kiddos. I've learned over the years to snap pitures at times they aren't fighting with each other! Here is one of those moments.....

Gretna Roughnecks

Here are a few photos from Carson's game against some Omaha team.  Carson is playing up on the 10's for Gretna this year.


Looking for the cross.

 

Striker left.....no goal on this one.

Striker left.  Bad focus by Dad; Good goal by Carson.

Pressuring the defense.

The fall season is over however winter indoor soccer is just around the corner.....where the game is played on a field surrounded by a barrier somewhat like a hockey rink.  The boys can pass it off of the wall to each other or themselves which adds quite a dynamic to the game!  Great season Carson.  Keep up the good work.

KC Fall Tournament

At the plate

Pick off attempt. Carson was safe.

Play at first.  Bad throw but good conversion by Carson.

I know.  I have that same look on my face when I see someone in Texas gear.
