What Gymnasts Do...

"Hey Rylee, why don't you go play for a little bit. You've been doing this almost all day now"...

Rylee {confused look} ... "I am playing!"

Rylee had her FIRST tumbling competition as a sub-advanced tumbler!  And she ROCKED IT!!!  First place in her age group and she scored the highest out of ALL sub-advanced tumblers (she was the youngest, the oldest was 15 or 16)!  SO proud of her!

"Does this outfit make me look older"?

I know I'm partial... but Rylee is just so stinkin' cute!!  And this outfit... LOVE IT!  But really... I think she's looking WAY to grown up these days...

Gymnast Scorpion

She's working on that flexibility today!!

SURPRISE!

Rylee has been asking for her own iPhone for a while now and I finally decided today to surprise her with one.  I was able to pick it up, buy a couple outfits from Justice and stick the phone at the bottom of her bag.  She pulled out her clothes (so excited about each piece, of course) and when she got to the bottom there was a small bag with her phone in it.  She carefully reached into the bag... and then the screaming started.  OH the screaming... it was intense!  LOL!  I LOVED her reaction!  Absolutely perfect!  A dream come true for an 8 year old girl!! :)

Welcome to Rylee's World :)

SO proud of my Rylee!  She is such a strong, determined, self-motivated, compassionate girl.  She absolutely loves gymnastics, tumbling, CrossFit, shopping, make-up, fashion, crafts, American Girl dolls, reading and school.  Welcome to her world! :)

Wearing an outfit from her FAVORITE place to shop for clothes ... JUSTICE!
