And so it begins........

My sweet Peyton took her first gymnastics lesson today and did amazing. She is built for the sport and has the drive and courage to do it as well. I have waited this long to get her started only because I knew once we started, it would the beginning of YEARS of gymnastics for this girl. I did some gymnastics when I was young, but started late and has some limitations in my ability. Regardless, I fell in LOVE with the sport. I use to watch hours of gymnastics, make up my own routines and read books about other gymnasts. So to see her start into a passion I wasn't able to fully live out is incredible. I couldn't wipe the silly grin off my face!
And like the amazing man that he is, Will came home two hours after her lesson to build her a beam in the backyard at her request.
Another special day for us was last Saturday when one of Deaven's best friends, Korban, got baptized. Deaven will be turning eight in the fall and is excited for his chance.
And now we are OFF TO TEXAS to see Will's family, and it's gonna be HOT!!

How fun, I tried gymnastics and was terrible at it! Have fun in Texas, and if you are up for it we have a softball team that we would love to have you guys on, it starts in June and runs for 6 weeks.

I can't wait to finally meet your family. I can't wait for Preslie to get into dance and gymnastics. Although, at the rate she's growing she might not look as cute as Peyton!! She is a chunk! 20 lbs to be exact.
Can't wait to hear about your adventures in TX! Have fun!!
