Here are my two sweeties ready to go to gymnastics yesterday. Tahlia has been in gymnastics since she was two and is doing really well with it, but Jazzie has really surprised me this summer. I signed her up for this class called gym jam. It focuses more on stretching, coordination and strength training. I wasn't sure if she was going to like the class, since it is very different from Tahlia's class (which Jazzie took last year and loved). However, she is too old to take the same kind of class that Tahlia is taking this year, so my only option was the gym jam class. It has turned out to be the best thing for Jazzie. Not only does she love it, she has made a lot of progress and it has been good for her. Jazzie is very thin (always has been) and not very strong. However, since starting gym jam she has gotten stronger and a lot more flexible. She knows it too, because she is always "flexing" her muscles and asking us to feel how big they are ;-)
Watch out people, we are here to pump you up!
Even when I wanted to take a regular picture of Matt and the girls, Jazzie couldn't stop admiring her muscles!




Gosh, Matt looks like so much fun as a hubby and father! Lucky girl/s! :)

Cute! Cute! Cute! Love the pics!
Everyone always asks if Erin takes gymnastics. Her legs are gorgeous & so darn muscular, but she came to us that way. Her thing is karate, & she's awesome at it.
Jazzie looks like the strength training is working well. She should be very proud of herself.

Too cute! Love Tahlia's tattoo! :) I'd love to see Elise and Jazzie side by side; I think they have such similar looks.

Your family always looks like a really fun place!

Oh funny! Amelia has been in and out of gymnastics since she was 18 months, and she really likes it...until she gets bored with it - then we stop for awhile, then she loves it again. Good thing her Mom can relate to a short attention span:)
Right now she is LOVING swimming lessons, but they are 2 nights a week - and with gymnastics and Chinese school that's a little much for me when I'm in school. She's going to have to pick when my classes start again and she's NOT going to like it.

Love all the flexing. I started Sera in a ballet class this summer, but she's eyeing all the gymanstic "toys" when we go. I think I'm going to add a gymnastics class soon and see how she likes it.

Sweet girlie......I wanted to go gymnastics thi summer with my girls, but guess it will have to wait until next year.
Lindsi's summer has been filled with more art & photography classes than dance & tumbling.........she does go to (day) dance camp in Aug & looking forward to that.
