First "Letter Grade" report card

K-2 all they got was AL (above level), OL (on level), etc.  Now, for the first time, they get actual letter grades.  Color me proud!!!

Happy Halloween!

Katey and I were both very happy with how her costume turned out.  It's aways a little iffy when you created your own with NO clue how it's going to turn out.  With the help of a little smoke and mirrors, we pulled it off and I think she had the cutest costume out there!!!  Needless to say after a full day of school (up at 6am), gymnastics for 2 hours and then trick-or-treating, she could barely make it up the stairs to bed.  Another successful haunting!!

....and they're OFF!

9 months later, the braces are off!  Katey is beyond excited!  They took them off this morning and then we headed back this afternoon to pick up her retainer (to be worn at night).  After that, we went straight to Target to buy everything sticky, chewy, gummy, etc. that she's been unable to eat.  Happy Girl!

Meet #2

Very exciting as Katey got a medal on each individual event and 4th in the All-Around!  She improved each of her scores.......the sky's the limit!  She loves it!!!

First meet

Katey had a wonderful first meet!!  She was pretty nervous considering she has just joined Team and the other girls have been on for 6+ more months than her.  She held her own and did great......already qualified for State which in itself is huge!!  SO proud that she got 5th All-Around.......can't wait for the next meet!!!  ROCK ON MY LITTLE GYMNAST!!! 

Bars

She's 9!

Fun party with her BFF's at the Columbia.  Everyone had a great time..........Sangria was great, said the Moms!!!  Happy Birthday Katey!
