4 girls and 4 boys are chosen from each grade. 2 front jumpers and 2 bachwards jumpers.
Hailey made the front jumpers again. They practice for 4 weeks and then go to Cenntenial High and compete in the championships with about 16 other elementary schools.
The kids stand in front of 5 judges and when the music starts they start jumping. The judges count one leg jumps. Hailey had been getting in the 100's in a minute.
Last year she made it to the semi finals and then the finals and then ended up taking 3rd place over all!
This year she had a difficult time. Her growth spurt and nerves didn't mix well, and she didn't make it to the semi finals. But she took it like a champ and will use this experience to learn and grow from.

Ohhh so cool! I set a jumping rope record when I was in elementary school and I knew then I wanted to be a professional. :) Go Hailey! That is really cool.
And HAHA at the huge candles on Caden's cake! That is rad. Love the improvisation.
How fun that you and Joel got a date day while the kids were away!
Nice job Hailey! I remember doing a jumprope routine in 5th grade and winning the best routine contest. I was on fire! But don't think I could do the most jumps like you. Must come from the fast runner genes in your family!
Way to go Hailey! That sounds like a lot of fun. We can't wait to see ya all at clogging competitions!
How nice to be able to go skiing whenever! We still have 2 tag alongs so we think if we are down to just 2 it is as good to getting out alone as anything.
