Gymnastics part 3

Here are some more videos from Zoe's gymnastics! She absolutely LOVES gymnastics and can't wait for classes to start again next year!

Flips...she is getting really good at these!

Zoo Lights

On Friday, we attended the annual Zoo Lights Party at the Phoenix Zoo!  The kids had a great time and have really started to show their dance skills.  We are not sure what you would call J.T.'s dance style!!!

Well, he definitely likes to move it and groove it...

Zoe's turn...with a little J.T. in there!

Wyatt's turn

I think I just want to take a break

Gymnastics Day 2

Day 2 of Gymnastics was just as exciting for Zoe Anne.  She did most of the same skills, but walked on the balance beam alone and swung on the low bar all by herself!  Here are some videos!!!

Backward Rolls

More Rolls

Beam...all by herself...and the butt nut!

Rolls again...by herself

Jumps and Rainbows

Swinging on the bar

Backward on the low beam!

San Diego

We spent Thanksgiving in San Diego this year, as John's friend was married the day after and John was the best man.  I just wanted to share a few videos from the dance!!!

Wyatt dancing along to the music

J.T.'s turn...yes...he did fall down at the end!

Zoe and J.T....so sweet

Gymnastics

Yesterday we started a new phase in Zoe's world...gymnastics!  She had a great time and her teacher even asked me if she had taken any lessons before because she was so comfortable out there!  OH BOY...could this be our next investment?!?!?!?!

All ready to go!

Walking backwards on the Low Beam

Walking the High Beam

Here she goes!

Doing the Rainbow

Forward rolls

Hanging from the bar

 

Turning 7!

Well, I can't believe it, I am the mom of a 7-year old!  I honestly don't know where the time has gone.  J.T. was on fall break for his birthday, so he didn't have to go to school.  Daddy took the day off, so the family went bowling, out for supper and came home for some cake and presents.  Here are a few photos and videos of J.T.'s big day. I tired to load more, but this program isn't working tonight.

"No, no Wyatt"...seemed to be a popular phrase at the bowling alley.

 Birthday sundae at Red Robin

Reading his card from Ross and Alicia...he got a kick out of that!

  

The crazy Kids!!!

Happy Birthday J.T.

Can you handle that candle, J.T.?

Enjoying the "extras" of the cake!

 Enjoying our food!

Happy Birthday Buddy!

Fall Break

Well, Fall Break is upon us and we definitely needed to find something to do before mom went crazy.  We managed to find a couple of indoor activities, one of which was a stop at Oasis Gymnastics Center.  Here are a couple of videos of my little monkeys!!  I have to say...Zoe has a little more of a dangerous streak than her big brother, but I think we all knew that!

Zoe the dancer?

Monday was Zoe's last day of ballet dance class for this session. The parents got to watch their kids perform this time around.  I guess I can see why they don't want parents in the room during the other practices, as kids were running to and from their mommies and daddies the whole time!  Anyway, Zoe had a great time!

Thursday was Wyatt's 1st birthday and I can't believe it. Time goes by faster and faster every passing year and I am ready for it to slow down!  Anyway, here are some pics and video from Wyatt's big day.

It's my birthday and I am a little monkey!

 Yea...time for presents!

I love shoes.

Are you having fun opening MY presents?

Don't spit on my cake, please.

Hmm...not quite sure about this.

 Maybe not so bad...

Yep, this is pretty good!

How big of a mess can I make?

All done and I LOVED it!!!!!

Wyatt has started to test his nerves a bit and is taking a few steps by himself.  Here are some videos of his amazing attempts!!!

1st days of school and Wyatt

This week began a new chapter in Zoe's life...school!  It also reminded J.T. why he LOVES fire drills so much. Here are a few pics from J.T.'s first day of 1st grade and Zoe's first day of Preschool!

 Getting ready to take off...the annual sibling picture!
