We just came home from Jo's very first Level 5 meet of the season. She did very well and came in 4th place overall out of 16 girls in her age group. As she is progressing up a level, the skill is definitely harder but she is so much more polished, seasoned and prepared. She is fun to watch. I have to say it can be frustrating to watch when we've seen her do a routine beautifully in practice and then at a meet, she gets so nervous and loses it. Not so much this time! Her beam routine was BEAUTIFUL!!! She nailed it! I kept telling her not to get herself all worked up and all she has to do is impress herself! She did just that and Jon, the girls and I were beaming for her. Taylor exclaimed, "That was beautiful!" We look forward to 8 more meets this season with a grand finale at the State meet. I'll keep you updated with her progress.
Jordan is first in this very cute lineup waiting for the bars!

Integrity, Jo's gym received 2nd place for Level 5 out of 6 teams. I just happened to capture Mr. Baldy in front of me too!

Yeah Jo! The Schwilliams are so proud of you. It's impressive what you can do, girly ;0)
That was always my dream- to be a gymnist(sp?). I will have to live vicariously(sp?) through Jo since I don't think Rob will have the boys doing gymnastic.Way to go!
