Yesterday Hailey got her first trophy! She participated in their end of the year performance called the M&M Olympics at Oklahoma Gold Gymnastics. She has been looking forward to this day. She has been going to gymnastics since last fall and has been on the big girl side for the last 2 semesters. She did well even though she stared pretty hard at us and said she got a little "stage fright". She learned about that in ballet class. Brady and Grammy came to see her perform, which I know made her happy. Every class walked into the big gym Olympic style which was cute to see. She was wearing a t-shirt for the big event. She did her 3 routines and then it was trophy time where her name was called out and she got a trophy and 3 bags of M&M's. Her original trophy she received on the platform was red but it was changed to blue. Her teacher asked for a vote originally from all the girls and it was RED but they changed their minds and her teacher traded most of them out for BLUE. Hailey's favorite color since last year has been red. Last week she changed it to blue so this made her really happy. We are going to take a break for the summer and then resume with classes in the fall. Hailey has really enjoyed taking gymnastics. I am so proud of you Hailey!
* Here are a few pictures and videos I took. Brady has better ones and I will upload those later.

She also made it onto the gallery page on the Oklahoma Gold website. The owner took a picture of her as we were snapping some after shots of her on the balance beam. Yeah Hailey!
