BIRD NEST!!!!

I know, I know, I shouldn't be posting twice in one day, but this news is so exciting I can't wait until tomorrow to tell you! Ok, so there have been these two birds that, about 2 weeks ago, have started constantly flying to my window, pecking on it, and flying away. Since my window has a view of my roof, I would always see them flying back to the roof. One time one of the birds flew to my window and started pecking on it with straw in its mouth, so I predicted they were building a nest. Today, I looked through my window and I saw a BIRD'S NEST!!!!

The bird pecking on my window

The bird in the nest; you can see its little tail peeking out :)

I'm so excited to see the little chicks!!!

Back to the Gymnast of the day

Hi! It's been a while since I've posted 2 days in a row! Mainly because I've been so busy (you guessed it-gymnastics). I'm so nervous for the competition, but I think that my hoop and floor routines have been getting a lot better! Even my toes got better, and believe me, if you went to practice with me, you'd know I used to have the worst toes out of all the competitive gymnasts. (which isnt a lot, but still....) Anyways, it's been a while since I've done this, but here is the gymnast of the day:

Alina Maksymenko; hoop

She's one of my favorite gymnasts; I even have her autograph!

Basically, this 5 month old baby was diagnosed with a fatal disease and she is telling her story (or her parents are actually) thru her blog. It would really help her out if you clicked the follow button. :)

Gymnastics Class

A lot of people think rhythmic gymnastics is really easy- all you do is prance around waving a ribbon. It isn't. It takes a lot of hard work, and I think it's one of the most beautiful sports. My favorite gymnast is Evgenia Kaneava; my coach trained her. Right now I have 5 coaches, and I will possibly get more. Another one of my coaches is training to be a judge at competitions. For those of you who son't know, this is my first year of competing. I have only been to 3 competitions, and my 4th one is in 2 weeks. It's the most important- it's the REGIONALS!!! I probably won't qualify for the Jr. Olympics, since I don't think I'm ready, but who knows? Anything can happen. Got to go to gym. class!

Palm desert

Hi! I just came back from Palm desert, it was so much fun! Believe it or not, it actually snows there, we took a tram up to the mountains, several thousand feet up, and hiked in the snow. There were rivers that were partly frozen and huge bolders. My brother, dad, mom, and I hiked up to see an amazing view of the landscape below. It's amazing how tiny we felt! The city below us was surrounded by desert, and everything was measured out in straight lines. It feels good to be back, though.
