Abigail & Sugar

Yesterday we went to service, went home to eat lunch, and then left to new Braunfuls. We got two treats, one salty and one sweet. We got presents from a lot of people, and Elisabeth is reading to Jubilee and I. The book is from Auntie Jennifer. We like them a lot.

Yesterday we went to the Norris' house for dinner. Mommy brought taco soup! Yum! Hanna Beth was trying to teach Mrs. Stacia to ripstik. (kinda like skateboarding) The Norris' got roller skates for Christmas. I hope everybody had a very nice Christmas. The family reunion at New Braunfels starts Sunday!

Yesterday we watched Mr. Bean's holiday. I don't like that he doesn't talk!!! I stayed outside from almost morning till evening. If it was not going rain then Mommy would of let me sleep outside. Elisabeth and I made bead necklaces and bracelets.

Yesterday was Christmas!!! We went out to eat with some of Mommy's cousins, uncles, and aunts. I got this game from Auntie Becky called Q Twist. We saw our four year old cousin Jubilee. We watched, "It's a wonderful life" (black and white version) with Mommy and Daddy. We've been watching a lot of movies with Mommy and Daddy. Like, Home alone, It's a wonderful life, Elf, My big Fat Greek wedding, and tons of others. We watch a lot of cooking shows with Mommy, and Superhero shows and Clone Wars (cartoon) with Daddy.

Yesterday was Christmas eve!!! We went to the Christmas eve service and it was only an hour long! Also we get to open 1 present! Elisabeth got a very detailed coloring book, and I got minecraft books. At the service the sermon was probably only 10 minutes long! Everything else was singing! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Yesterday we had another movie night. And as usual, James fell asleep. We went to the library and we got a lot of books. The thing is, Elisabeth gets obsessed with reading after we take a trip to the library. We can open one present on Christmas eve.

Yesterday we had to finish the chapter of zoology in school. We played outside, and made a hiding place in the coat closet. In the closet we found a jacket exactly like Coach Ira's black adidias jacket! We had Rudy's for dinner.

Yesterday Allie's sleepover ended. We mummified a lot of people. (with wrapping paper) We went to Cypress Bible Church because it was so close to the Weinhardts house. We are thinking about changing churches. So instead of going to HCC (Houston Chinese church) we might go to Cypress Bible Church. Also it is closer to our house and the gym.

Yesterday we got to do trampoline because we made eight cartwheels in a row altogether. Allie had her sleepover and we watched the movie elf. It was really fun. AnnaBrooke and Evie were there. It was really hard to fall asleep.

Yesterday was the Team Cypress Christmas party! Evie won the no scissors wrapping paper fashion show! She was Elsa. Elisabeth got a amazon gift card for her gift exchange and I got a penguin stuffed animal that I named Snowflake. It was a lot of fun! Coach Zach even did a level 4 floor routine!!! (that had the splits in it)

Yesterday we prewrapped Allie W. because her birthday was December 19. But the Christmas party was the same day. There is practice ON Saturday. Elisabeth has to take like, 3 medicines twice a day! Bring wrapping paper to the Christmas party for the fashion show.

Yesterday we did not go to the gym because Elisabeth was not feeling good.  She had a slight fever and might be catching the flu from mommy. We had a lot of school as usual. The christmas party for gym is on Friday!!! We hope everybody is healthy for Christmas.

Yesterday Mommy was not feeling good. Daddy thinks she has the flu. We have been playing monopoly a lot. Waipuo took me to gym. There is not much to blog about. Mommy has been sleeping and watching TV most of the time.

Yesterday we had a lot of school, and did not have to practice piano.  We did not have BSF yesterday.  Elisabeth had gym and she got her grips on Saturday night. For lunch I had celery and bell peppers with hummus. Nothing much.

Yesterday we had church and we learned about Simeon and Anna who were waiting for to see Jesus because God told them they would. We also had choir dismissal early. For dinner we went to Daddy's coworker's house in the woodlands. We had a lot of fun. We played with the ball and threw it into the pool.

Yesterday was the piano recital. I played Sonatina by Diabelli, James played rudolph the red nosed reindeer, and Elisabeth played Clare de lune by Claude Debussy. We set up the Christmas tree and already have presents under. Then for dinner, we went to La Hacienda, (mexican restaurant) but we had to leave early to go to the Christmas Pageant. Coach Zach came for the whole time, I think. Coach Chris's daughter was sick so she had to leave. Coach Ira left early too. Yesterday was 12\13\14! I also won a free gift because I was on the end on the back row! Inside the gift there was cheese, sausage, crackers, and candy.

Yesterday we had the first Christmas pageant. There is one on Saturday too. We did not go to gym and had to be at church by 6:45,though there was a lot of traffic and we got there at 6:56. The bug man came, we had piano lessons, and played minecraft. We had our last piano lesson till next year.

Yesterday we did school, and went to gym. Abby's (my teammate) mom accidently texted my coach that dinners ready. Yesterday we did not do beam.   We were on vault for almost an hour! Not much happened. On Saturday we will not be at gym because of a piano recital. We also have the Christmas pageant this weekend.

Yesterday James had his winter spectrum in the theater. He was good. When the curtains were closed I would look under the curtains to see if there were ballet shoes, James's shark slippers, or tap. During the middle of his song he sneezed! Mrs. Stacia was laughing.

Yesterday it was pretty normal. No school, (only on Tuesdays) practice piano, watch TV, and gym. We watched Super Hero Squad for TV. (It's a Marvel cartoon) These are a few characters, some you might of never heard about. Iron Man, Hulk, Silver Surfer, Wolverine, Thor, Falcon, Captain America, Doctor Doom, MODOK, and Abomination.

Yesterday we had school and gym. James and I had BSF. I had to go to the restroom so Daddy let me go in first. Daddy said it took at least 10 minutes to get him out of the car! We had taco soup for dinner. For lunch we had the chicken kabobs Mrs. Stacia suggested.

Yesterday we had church, and my class won a popcorn party! I got caramel popcorn. We had choir and Mommy and Daddy had a parenting meeting. We had Chipotle for dinner. When Elisabeth, Daddy, and James came home from pocking up Chipotle we got super upset. They didn't give us chips, and only one tortilla, and we ordered taco kits but the lady made it a taco! Then we watched a movie called Elf and it was really good. I haven't been feeling good too.

Yesterday we had gym. It was the first time I had been dropped off. They went to Costco and home and the Bake Shoppe. We had parents night out at church. The pretzel factory burned down! So we had to have plain oranges and bananas. (I do not like bananas)  Next time we get pretzels, goldfish, and animal crackers! James fell off a guy's back while the guy was standing up! Though he was okay.

Yesterday we did school and Mr Yost (piano teacher) couldn't come. We went to gym and as you know we left early. We went to Sonic and at the rehearsal the were selling chocolate and Mommy bought some. We had cauliflower, marinated cucumbers, and honey garlic chicken for lunch. James went out to eat with Daddy to buy Christmas presents for Elisabeth and me.

Yesterday we had practice and Waipuo (grandma) had to take us to gym. There was an accident and the power was out for an hour. Our stove runs on gas so it still worked. Waipuo took James home so we had to wait for Daddy to come pick us up. On Wednesday Coach Ira dad back hand-spring front hand-spring 3 times in a row! And one of the level 7's knocked the elf on the shelf off of the wires above the tumble track!

Yesterday Daddy stayed home from work because he was not feeling good. We did school and practiced piano. We have a recital on 12\13. We watched Clone Wars with Daddy, (the cartoon) and went to gym. On Friday we have to leave gym early because we have to practice for the Christmas Pageant. Me and Elisabeth are next to each other on stage. We are the last people to go on stages and the first people to walk off the stage. The rehearsal will end at 10:00 pm!!!

Yesterday we went to the library and gym. We had leftovers for lunch. My friends Allary, Lauren, and Kaylie kept saying, "Shoelaces are gonna put this town on the map!" Then I said, "This town is already on the map." There are two new rules at gym, you have to have a bun, or at least your hair off your neck. And if you get to gym early you can either SIT on the green mat or SIT on the floor.

Yesterday we did school, practiced piano, and went to firehouse subs for lunch. James saw a fireman from station number 10 . (the station we always go to) I had the brisket and cheddar sandwich with funions, Mommy and Elisabeth both got turkey and cranberry, (Elisabeth had funions and mommy had salt and vinegar potato chips) and James had a ham and cheese sandwich. We went to gym and got our pottery from Sara's birthday party. James. Daddy, and I went to BSF. (Bible study fellowship) We got hot cocoa after dinner and I didn't want the rest of mine so I got five more marshmallows. It's also my half birthday!!!

Yesterday we went to Hanna Beth's church for her first communion. Then we went to her house for lunch. There was noodles and tomato sauce and meat sauce. Coach Zach went to the church but he skipped out on lunch. We watched Mckenna and Mark played minecraft. We had leftovers for dinner. Yesterday advent started.

Hi again! Yesterday we had thanksgiving dinner for lunch. We went to the Norris's for dinner. (but it was mostly snacks) Mr. Scott built a fire and we roasted marshmallows. We made a thanksgiving turkey with strawberries, oranges, green grapes, red grapes, and kiwi.

Then we went to the theater to watch big hero 6. On Tuesday we got to go to little beakers with Bailey and Tynlee. (Our friends) On Monday we went on a playdate with our friend Abby. This week is turning out to be really fun!

Hi everybody!!! Today I have a meet, South State! It is the last meet of the season. We are about to leave.

Hi! I'm sorry that I haven't posted in a while. A lot of stuff has happened lately. Elisabeth and I both qualified for South State and Elisabeth qualified for state. I recently made my kip! It is a skill on bars. This was my 2nd kip in my whole life                                                                                                

Hi everybody! Boy, this year has gone by fast! My South State competition is Sunday! It is the last meet of the season. I've had a lot of fun, and experience. Like learning it's not scary to compete, and make a front-handspring over the vault table. (With the mini tramp) And Sugar has had a lot of fun too! Like the circus, the quilt show, and tons of parties! Though, also a lot of conditioning.  God has helped me through a lot of things.

Hi again! Today we are going to church. Daddy is sinking minecraft on to my phone. Elisabeth is in the bathroom. Mommy is cooking. James is changing.

Hello Everybody! I just finished brushing teeth. Yesterday I had practice. It was arms! (Conditioning)Though the worst is abs.  Right now Elisabeth is eating breakfast, I have no idea where James is, and Mommy is doing laundry.

I am leaving for gym in less than 7 minutes.

It turns out the rumors are true. Coach Terry and Coach Tamara are leaving to coach at Simon Biles new gym. They are our head coaches.(for the girls) The owner of the gym, Mr Aaron is looking for some new head coaches. I hope that they are nice and are not yellers. I heard a story about some yeller coaches who's girls ended up in national team, but is wasn't worth it because the girls hated to go to gymnastics. The head coach of the boys is going to be helping, and a coach from another gym. And our coaches will help to. I hope it won't take along tome to find some coaches, because if next years season has no head coaches no one will be able to design our warm up suit.
