The Bunch Head to TWU to watch Gymnastics

As one of the requirements for scouts to earn their gymnastics pin, the girls had to attend a gymnastics meet or competition. We decided to go see the TWU girls team compete; for no other reason other than they were the closest!  It had been awhile since my husband and I have tried to navigate a college campus and since neither of us went to TWU we had no idea where anything was. Fortunately, the campus is small and it didn't take too long to locate where we needed to go.  They were competing against Iowa State and the whole thing was a lot of fun to watch. Anytime one of the TWU girls scored a 9.7 or better they would throw shirts to the crowd and A  caught one.  Afterward, they had a hand stand competition that L participated in. The girls were pumped to go to gymnastics a couple of days later since they were fresh off the excitement of the meet. In fact once we came home, that very night they all ran out to the trampoline to practice. It was a fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

We have all been trying not to get sick. Strep throat has been going around a lot of the places we frequent. We have had a few sore throats and some run down tired feelings, but nothing too serious yet so hopefully it stays that way. Though the constant flip flop of 80 to 40 degree days is wreaking havoc on allergies.

We finally got my little car back. My 2000 Hyundai Elantra. We have spent about 4 times what the car is worth on repairs, but we decided that it had been a good car and with repairs replacing most of the cars parts, it should last a long time. It just gets hard to find discontinued parts, However, it does have less than 125,000 miles on it so it has a lot of life left. The first day it was back we had a flat tire the next morning and now I think it needs some shocks, but overall it has never ran better and the tires are under warranty so no worry there! It is just so nice to take the little car shopping because it easily fits into the parking spaces, has tons of trunk space, and gets fantastic gas mileage compared to the SUVs.

Our eldest boy came to visit with his step daughter.  We had a great time visiting while the kids played together. He even helped his little brother with some football drills. It is always great to see everyone.

Big brother helping little brother....priceless.

Our kids have discovered one benefit to lots of land with no trees yet is that they can fly kites. They had a blast flying kites in the front yard while Pop pop was here helping dad with the car.  It is ALWAYS windy here so it will be good kite weather. In fact, most of the time it might be too windy!

The front yard!

So wonderful....love the country!

Kept them busy for about an hour.
