The last weekend in March, 2009 was a very busy one for our family.  We finally moved our gym in Gilroy out of Wheeler Auditorium into our new facility.  It was a HUGE undertaking since we had to move everything out starting late Thursday night (8:00 pm) and have everything set back up and ready to go Monday Morning by 9:00 am.  

I was amazed at how much help we had from parents, coaches, and the cheer group that will be running their program in our new gym.  It was one of the most physically challenging jobs Mark and I have ever done.  I am soooo glad it is finally finished.  Our kids were real troopers.  Of course, they were sick all weekend.  That is usually how it is, when it rains it pours.  Isen't that what life is about?  Learning how to balance and cope? I am beginning to think so. 

MY DAD

My dad has always had a special place in my heart.  He taught me how to have compassion for others and to work hard.  We always try to go down the field when we are in Beaver and see what improvements have been made.  My dad has a very close relationship with his brothers, especially Floyd and Dale.  They have taught us that family comes first and you help each other out no matter what.  I have learned over the years that trust and dependability are important attributes that my dad and his brothers have passed on to their posterity.  I hope that I can do the same.

Taylor and Lindsey

Taylor has a lot of fun with her cousin Lindsey.  They love to tumble together and hang out when they go to Grandma & Grandpa Yardleys.

Taylor Lawrence

Taylor is quickly growing up!!!  She enjoys gymnastics, volleyball, family vacations, friends, and just recentlydecided she likes dancing.  I am always amazed by her positive attitude and her willingness to help out at home and the gym.  She is a great teacher, example and friend.  

Zachary is always energetic and full of life!!!  He likes soccer, hip hop, singing, and PLAYING WITH FRIENDS!  He is known in our family for giving and needing hugs.  In school, he is always trying to be the one who reads the most books and be a great friend.

Brock, on the other hand, loves to pose for photos!!!  Here are a few of many shots that were taken of him.  He has such a great imagination and loves playing super heroes with anyone that will play along.  His second favorite thing to do is TEASE people and say, "I joked you!"

Garrett does not like to get his picture taken very often.  It is fun to try and capture him.  He is really growing up fast and turning out to be very dependable and a great help.  He loves to snowboard & play in the snow.
