ATA Mini Meet Results

Alrighty, well I just got back yesterday (Saturday) from my most recent competition. This meet was where we had to get a 20 or higher to qualify for states. Thankfully, we succeeded and ended up with a total score of 24.15 which is our highest score yet!!! We also ended up in 1st place! :) There was only one other group competing against us, but still, I'm happy :] Our artistic score was an 8.3 which is extremely high! All in all, I am just so thankful that we qualified. My mom has definitely helped me the most throughout these last few competitions this year. So thank you so much Momma;) and Happy Mother's Day!!! Thanks for reading,

1st Three Competitions

So, I'm almost halfway through my acrobatic gymnastics competition season. This is the dealio. I had my first competition in San Jose, where Kennedy(my partner) and I scored a 19 (not so good :[ ) and ended up in third(last). So we didn't qualify at that competition. The next competition was held in Livermore where we scored another high 19!!! AARRGGHH!!! It was so frusterating, but we took my mom's advice, to look at the score and see what we can improve on for the next competition. The third competition was at Diamond Springs up in El Dorado Hills. That was TONS of fun, especially since we got to stay with my mom's old college roommate Karen and her family for almost 5 days! We had a blast there :] Kennedy and I finally pulled through and ended up with a 23.95 which is not only a state qualifying score, it is also a regional and NATIONAL qualifying score!!!!!!! It took us almost an hour to finally stop smiling after seeing our score. So thankful! (Thank you God!!! Couldn't have done it without Him) So that's the scoop so far. We have our last qualifying meet this Saturday from 9 in the morning, until 9:30 at night. I am going to go with Kennedy and her mom to this meet, up and back one day. It will be a very, VERY long day. I really hope we can continue our qualifying score so we can make it all the way to Nationals. Please wish the both of us luck at the next competition. :] Thank you for reading!

My Trip to Las Vegas

I can't remember the information I need to sign into my cousin and I's blog, so I will blog it here. I got back from Las Vegas this last Sunday. First off, I brought my big new tube of toothpaste with me, forgetting it has to be travel size, so that got thrown away at the security area of the airport in Fresno. When we got to Vegas airport, the first thing we see are casinos:P
Next, we had to go get our rental car which was a cute small Hyundai. It was very nice, except that the clock on it was an hour later than it really was. My mom wanted us to go eat at the Tournament of Kings at the Excalibur Hotel and Casino. The only problem was that we were supposed to be there at 6, and the clock on the car read 6:05, so we were in a big rush. We were on our way when Grandma asked someone what time it was while we were stuck in traffic because we didn't think there was a time difference even though our car clock did. The man told us it was about 5:30. It was a ton of weight lifted off our shoulders:) We got to the Excalibur with plenty of time to spare, and we ended up having a HUGE BLAST!!! It was so neat watching the different countries doing their show. My favorite part was when all of the countries teamed up and defeated Dragon.
(thank you Aunt Tracy for telling my mom about the Tournament of Kings!!!)
After, we checked into our hotel which was very nice.
The next day, I had to go to the Orleans Arena for my cheer competition. We got a little lost, but found our way on time. First, I had to compete with the Youth Team, because one of their girls got sick, so they asked me, because I'm short :P to fill in. There was about a 2 hour gap in between the Youth performance and the Senior's performance. So, my mom took us to Paris!!!
Paris was neat, especially seeing the miniature Eiffel Tower and Arch Du Triumph. I liked walking underneath the Eiffel Tower and seeing the roof painted like the sky.
After going to Paris, we went back to the competition and I competed with the Seniors. We didn't do too well the first day, because we were in LAST:( out of ten teams. After competing, we went to Treasure Island for dinner. We went to a restaurant called Khotan there, and it was delicious!!! I <3 Chicken-lettuce wraps :)
After dinner, we went out to the patio of the restaurant and watched a pirate ship battle. It was really cool. The last thing we did that day was visit the Cirque Du Soleil Mystere gift shop. I ended up getting a Cirque shirt:)
I definitely have to say Treasure Island was my favorite place to visit!
The last day, I competed again, and the Youth team got 6th. FOR THE seniors, we had some difficulties right before we went on with one of our teammates but we still went out and did our best. We went from 10th place to 6th place!!! Our score was even high enough to place and CVC Seniors even got a trophy! Right after competing we had to leave to catch our plane. All in all, I'm glad I got to experience being a cheerleader, but I am SO GLAD CHEER IS OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I loved Vegas, and hope to visit it again.
Thank you for reading,

This is a Picture of Me on TV!

This was when my Acrobatic Gymnastics team and I, along with some other teams at Gym BEAT, had an appearance on Univision Spanish channel. We had a lot of fun performing. Wish I had the video on it, but since I don't, here is the picture of all of us.
