How did you spend your Saturday afternoon? I spent mine learning what it would be like to have 7 children…


 I had a ton of fun playing in the sun with both the Peterson and Ogren children (plus Shaina) this Saturday afternoon :)

“Can Ali come out to jump?”

My little neighbors used to ring my doorbell on a daily basis to see if I wanted to come out and jump on their trampoline with them.  Some things never change.  And sure enough, there they were at my front door this afternoon :)

I wasn’t sure whether liked the color or black and white version better… so I decide to put both up :)

Carpet Ball

A new carpet ball table made it’s debut in the CBC Youth Room on Sunday night and quickly became the center of attention.  I took a lot of pictures but only Jenna, Skylar, and Andy were lucky enough to make this post.  Hopefully I’ll get some more good ones in the weeks to come (it makes for good depth pictures).

More Gymnastics

Sitting at home has been getting pretty boring and poses few opportunities for me to take pictures, so I headed up to the gym once again to hang out at practice.  They’re probably getting pretty sick of me being there all the time, but I’m having a lot of fun.  And I’m actually going to be rather dissapointed to not get to see them finish out the season, oh well. 

The first picture is of Chantel practicing her straddle back release move.  The second is of my best friend Krista zoning out… or concentrating, you decide.  And the last is of Dani chalking up her grips.  Well that’s all I’ve got for now, Peace Out.

Precision and Grace

I traveled through the fog with some other alumni gymnasts last night to watch this years team compete in Verona.  And I got some pretty good shots… mostly because the routines and tricks were so great.  Be sure to check out the facial expressions, especially in the last photo.

And the tradition continues…

Every year my high school gymnastics team has a sleepover at the gym. There’s really only one way to describe it… complete chaos. The coaches attempts to get the girls to stop screaming and doing flips and ‘just go to bed already’ are fully ignored until around 3 or 4 am when the all sugar wears off. I used to be a part of this when I was on the team and missed it so much that I stopped by for a bit this year. I didn’t take many pictures because of all the fun I was having (and the muscles I was pulling, man I’m getting old), but here are a few.the headless gymnastChantel is completely crazyEileen and Becca
