It is not how big you are, it's how big you play.

It's a great time of year.  Summer is filled with sports of all sorts, and I for one am a big fan.  Our family has always been a soccer family first and foremost, but now with our new additions we are extending to sports of all kinds.  As my nieces and nephews get older, they are becoming more and more involved in sports and I get to enjoy it right along with them!  This past week, I got to watch a couple of gymnastics meets and then I followed it up with a soccer game.  Both sports hold a special place in my heart.  The first because I always wished I was a gymnast and the other I have played my whole life & am in love with it.  However, neither are easy to capture with my camera.  These are some of the better shots of the week.

My favorite Mini O (lympian) waiting for the meet to begin


Up first - Beam.  First in his rotation - must be because his last name starts with a B. Lucky or Unlucky? I'm not sure!
His best event - the bar.  He is crazy strong for his age. And seriously good too.

The Novice Olympian waiting for her turn - and boy did she not disappoint when it was her time!

She got a white ribbon on bars (3rd) - She did fantastic (and maybe even got a little robbed)
 

Patiently waiting for her turn on Beam.

TB rocked it out on the beam - earned herself a red ribbon (2nd highest). She totally stuck her dismount too.

She was determined to get the highest ribbon on floor. And like a true champion, her hard work paid off.  A blue ribbon it was.

Later in the week, we switch gears to soccer - where TB rocked again, even scoring a goal!  So proud!!

Heading towards goal - what a little star she is!  She's got some of that Meagher blood in her!

If I instill anything in her it will be this.  Offense scores goals, but Defense wins games!
I'm a true defender at heart!

Love this one - you can see a hint of a smile on her face

Such focus!

I couldn't resist this... SuperGirl came to watch the game!
