Another crazy Saturday

As I mentioned in a previous post, I am now a director at

USA

Youth Fitness Center

in Mesa, Arizona.

On Saturday, we had our Spring Mini Meet.

Before the mini meet started we had our Preschool Show! I was a bit nervous to do the announcing, but I made it through.

Ellie practicing her awesome {star} cart-wheels:
Noah showing how strong he is:
Elle performing her floor routine:
Getting ready for (or finishing?) her candlestick:
Elle showing off how close she is to having her
pullover & back hip circle
by herself on the bars:

Beam routine:
End of the PRESCHOOL SHOW!...

After that, Ellie stayed and participated in her

1st real MINI MEET with the Novice Girls!

(meaning she was there performing from 12:30 - 4:00, & I had been there since 9 am)

3 RED ribbons & 1 BLUE ribbon!

AWESOME ELLIE!!!

As soon as we cleaned up at the gym, we headed home to change & hurried out to Queen Creek for

Alexis Alexander's 4th Birthday Party!

(daughter of Jennifer Woods Alexander)

They had their huge bouncy/water slide set up. The kids were loving it!

(3rd week in a row with Bouncy's on Saturdays for Ellie)

Noah knew how to WORK that slide.

He kept bouncing on his bootie so it would be a crazy ride on the way down. Everytime he went down, Shalae & I thought he was going to get hurt or cry.... but NOPE! Instead he was cracking up & he would run up the ladder for more!

Jennifer has an amazing home & one of the most awesome back yards I have ever been in.

(Nice pose, Ellie- where the heck did you learn that??)

Straight from the party, our family met up at the Gibbons

to give Roxy our presents for her

2nd BIRTHDAY!!!

We gave her a Roxy pool bag & a BATH TIME BABY.

She was so excited!

She loves playing with Ellie's BATH BABY- so I knew she would like it.My mom gave her a Cinderella cell phone. She was so cute & she pretended to call Brad.

Ellie went up to her and asked if she wanted to play with Lances REAL phone..

hoping she would let her see her new Cinderella phone...

SORRY ELLE.

Roxy decided 2 phones would be awesome...

(Notice Ellie's whining shoulders!)

These 2 were having so much fun annoying the rest of us.

After grocery shopping, a CVS run, & then finishing a load of laundry... it was about 11:00 when I could even try to get ready for bed.

I have been hearing how crazy everyone's Saturdays are in April... they aren't slowing down anytime soon, either!
This should make 2 years go by fast, right?!?
