Super Angie...gym rats

My kids are gym rats. They absolutly LOVE gymnastics at All American Gymnastics in Lindon. The boys have fun coaches and Tanith is getting more and more familiar with her mom and me group.

On Wednesday, Brennan actually did a good job at the vault--meaning he ran, jumped and almost without help did a roll over! He is so cute. He has a hard time on the balance beam, but he is always smiling and so happy. With his ripped upper body, he is a natural on anything that involves arm strength. This was so evident on Wednesday when, for the first time, his coach had the kids climb the rope. Do you remember in elementary school, climbing the rope in gym class? Well, all the other kids in his class only climbed about 5 feet total. Not Brennan. He just took off up that rope and before his coach noticed, Brennan was past the half way mark. WAY TO GO BIG BEAR!--sorry I don't have any pics of Brennan.

Rick showed up during Dallin's class, much to the joy of Dallin--he loves having Dad come! He took this picture of Dallin doing the rings. Dallin loves his coach and his class mate, Sam. Its just Sam and Dallin with coach Dean. He loves the attention he gets because of the class size. Dallin did very good on Wednesday with the vault. He really loves everything he does in class.

The day before Halloween, Tanith's class was allowed to come to class in costume and do Trick AND Treat--do a trick, get a treat! Tanith LOVED it. She is getting braver with the balance beam, and actually now, whenever she sees a curb, she has to walk on it while chanting, "Balance Beam!". She also loves her coach, Miss Jodi. She likes to do things on the bars and just general running and jumping. She usually takes a good nap afterwards-all tuckered out! Its so much fun to just spend this 45 minutes with only Tanith. I now bring Brennan along to watch and I'm so proud of him. He sits quitely in the bleachers and watches Tanith. He even cheers her on. He really loves his little sis.

I've said it before and I'll say it again now, I'm so happy I found All American for my kids. Its just the right place at the right time for them.

Hurray! Go Brennan on the beam. Dallin looks great on the bars. That is such a great place for kids to get their energy out. I am glad they are all loving it.
