Senior Girls took 1st place in State!

I cannot figure out why my paragraphs are not staying when I post replies. I write in paragraphs and when I submit it scrunches together and looks like one long run-on sentance. I can't seem to find the fix, but I am sure one of you knows what I am doing wrong.Help!
This is it, the big weekend! Cate has had 2 good practices so far and States are this Sunday at noon. Great start time again, and our gym is hosting the meet so it's only 15 minutes away! Hoping that the "home meet" feeling brings good luck to all our girls. Hoping for good things on vault and...
Meet Report
Cate had another meet this weekend. Some great and some not so great scores. The dreaded squat-on was an issue this meet, and unusually low scores on floor, but it is what it is, right?
She was happy to start out on floor. It looked great to me but the judges saw something...
Sorry I have been a bad poster but the girls have been running me ragged. Let's start with.......................
Made it to States!!!!!!!!
Two weeks ago I thought Cate was going to do it but....bars. She started off the meet on beam. Normally a good event but she was wobbley and the beam was...
Well the second meet of the season is history and we have an unhappy gymnast is my house. This was a big travel meet and she had set her hopes quite high based on her performance at this meet last year. Big dreams sometimes have a way of becoming nightmares......and I think that was the case...
Hard to believe it but it's time for Cates second meet of the season, seems like December just flew by here! We will be driving almost 5 hours to compete at Twistars in Lansing. The meet is always huge and oh those Michigan girls. Leaving here friday morning, Cate has a 10:30 am Sat start...
She had fun and her scores were OK, top thrill of the day...she got to meet, talk to and get a hug from Jonathan Horton....after that I think the meet was the second thing on her mind. lol.
Her scores:
Vault- 9.35- 5th
Bars- 7.70- still those bars but her routine looked better
Beam- 8.7 6th...

I Haven't posted in a while, but we have really been enjoying the summer. All practices are daytime, and for once DD1's and DD2's activities aren't in conflict. Summer practices are going great, and all three of us took a week to go to Girl Scout Daycamp.
Softball is now over and that's fine...
What a week, Cate has States this weekend and my dd who never, never gets sick is running a 103 temp with the flu!!! She came down with it after her meet on Sunday, I knew something was wrong when she took a 3 hour nap Sunday afternoon! And she has been out of school 2 days and missed pratice...
Finally a meet where Cate felt she did her best on all events. Parents who have been through a couple seasons of competition can share my joy in a no "what if" meet. This Meet was on a Saturday afternoon, and it seems like this is her best time to compete. The whole team did well, there were a...
Hi All- Just a proud Mom here trying something new. I attempted to take some of my dd's favorite pictures and make a remix. Please forgive if it doesn't work out, I'm definately a rookie at this!
Hi all- After months and months of practices it's finally time for our first competition. After all the trials and tribulations my dd will be competing for her second year at Level 6. She is sooooo excited to finally compete, every year when this time comes around it makes me remember why she...
Hi- It's always nice to have a coaches perspective. I have been involved in my daughters gymnastics since she was 2, she's 12 now and either competing 6 or 7, and I still have to wonder sometimes "what were they thinking". Our gym has always had specific rules for changing levels. Last year they...
;)Hi everyone, it's my first visit tonight, and so far I love the site. I hope to get to know you all better through your posts. I am the Mom of a 12 yr old level 6 or 7, don't know yet, we don't start competing until December. My DD competed level 6 last year and did well, but didn't score out...
