Ok, a long overdue picture post. These first pictures are from back in October when we had a cook out with our good friends the Teague family.

This is Stockton, his little brother Phoenix (isn't that a cool name?), Joshua and Ethan.
He's got the guitar, he's got the hat, he's got the shades...that is one cool dude. A legend in his own mind.
He's swollowed a pencil!
Moving on...November. Here is Nicole, finally getting her black belt from John Burnett. Nicole is a blast to hang out with and compete against at tournaments and when I heard she was going to be promoted I took the evening off at gym to go watch. Certainly a very well earned belt. Congrats!
While I was there they also held a small tournament for the little kids. This is Elizabeth, one of my students in the homeschool gymnastics class. Elizabeth won "best illigal shot of the night" with a straight right bomb to the other guy's nose. It was beautiful, even though she wasn't actually supposed to hit him in the face. Her siblings James and Emily also competed and both did very well.
Moving foward to...today! We had our third TAG meet of the season at Jenks. Pictured here you can see our levels 1 through 6 team. Naomi is hidden behind Merideth's face, but you can just barely see her in the back. All the kids wearing the read outfits are from our gym.
Merideth and Abby, the two level sixs I've been working with a lot lately. They both had an excellent meet today: Merideth stuck her back walk over on the beam, and had a beautiful vault and Abby did the best beam routine I've ever seen her do.
Here is Hannah, who has enough personality for about three people. She was very proud of her four blue ribbons today!
Another person with huge personality, Kimberly is one of the sweetist kids you'd ever want to meet. I'm not entirely sure why, but she has always called me "Mr. Samuels".

Lexi, Katie (top), Cameron (bottom) and Sam. I thought this was a really great picture.

And that's that! I'll try and post pictures a little more often. Now that we have the high speed connection is isn't nearly as much of a hassle!
