Olympics, here she comes!

Ashlyn lives in the gym. :) She has taken to gymnastics like a fish to water, she's a natural! As any gymnastics Mom can tell you, a gymnast never takes a break, she is always flipping, doing handstands, every curb becomes a balance beam, any suspended bar is fair game to pullovers and kips, and she is rarely seen in normal clothes- she wears a leotard ALL.THE.TIME. (with the exception of school, I had to put my foot down on that one...although she's snuck out the door more than once with one under her clothes!)
Her talent has taken her beyond regular classes, she is now competing! It has been so much fun going to her meets and watching her shine. Her very first meet she placed FIRST all around, out of 3 teams worth of girls! We are so incredibly proud of our Ashie-bug. :)
The following photos were taken at her latest meet, where she took 5th place in 3 events and 6th place in the other. ***Please note and appreciate her $150 leotard she's wearing. It cost an arm and two legs, so I would like it to be appreciated and admired as much as possible!***

with her friend "little Morgan". Due to an abundance of "Morgans" on the team, we also have a middle Morgan and a big Morgan!

I'll leave you on this note....Ashlyn's two favorite guys from church came out to support her at this meet- A big shout out to Stephen & Skyler! She just adores them, and they love her like a baby sister. These guys are awesome- they are recording and soon going on tour- they're Christian Rap artists, the Hall of Faith Saints. I'll be talking more about them soon, and linking you to where you can download their free mixtape!
