Tumbling Nationals Meet

Lexi made Nationals in her tumbling competition. This past weekend we loaded up two vehicles and all made the trip to Cincinnati, OH for her competition. I'm happy to report she did an amazing job! There were 5 flights of 63 competitors in her age category. Within her flight she placed 2nd, and she placed 6th overall! Congratulations Lexi!! You did an outstanding job!! Since no flash photography was allowed it was hard to get good pictures but here are the best ones...

They give awards for their flight and overall, this is for placing 2nd in her flight:

The girls with their step brothers, Taylor, Halle, Tyler, Austin and Lexi

Halle:

Halle is practicing so hard to do kart wheels just like her sister, she is getting close!

Lexi's medal:

Even though they ran out of trophies for the overall awards, Lexi was still able to pose with one (they are going to mail out their trophies)

After the tumbling meet was over, Brian and I headed over to Louisville to meet up with Betsy and Robbie. We stayed at the Hyatt, and it was pimped out!!


If you are going to Louisville I would highly recommend the Hyatt Place Louisville East, but be sure to book on Expedia. The rooms usually cost 160 bucks, but we booked it for 80- yeah, that's what I'm talking about!!

3) How awesome! Cogratulations!! (Random question, but I have to ask, are you British? The only two Lexi's I've ever known -- one is my kids' babysitter -- are British. Just curious whether we'll have to change our theory on the name. =))

4) girlcarew- No I'm not British, I am not sure where Lexi's name came from- she is Brian's (my boyfriend) daughter.. I'll have to ask Brian :)

5) This is awesome! My dd competed 7 years of artistic gymnastics. I always wondered what tumbling competitions were like. Way to go, Lexi!

6) They ran out of trophys? That's pretty crappy to do do some little kids! I smell a frivolous lawsuit in the works!
