All about Jerz-girl

Jerzi is my little turkey. I love her to pieces.  She makes me laugh, and sometimes want to cry.  :)  She is an active, shy, determined little girl.  She's got big dreams and tries so hard to be independent.  I love it, but at the same time, I hate it.  She doesn't want my help to do basically anything anymore.  She gives me a run for my money every day, and yet, we still manage to have so much fun together.

She was so nervous to start gymnastics. She was super shy and afraid to do the bars.  Now, she loves the bars, she plays with the other girls when they get to play on the mountain, she's rocking the beam and the vault...but she still won't hardly say a word to her coaches.  She is progressing so much and getting to be a good little gymnast. She wants to be like Gabby Douglas, the all-around olympic gold medalist.  She says that someday she's gonna be on TV like Gabby Gabs.  She has far surpassed the other kids in her class and the coaches make her do a lot more advanced things when they get to work with her one on one.  She recognizes that she's doing harder things than the other girls, and I can tell it pushes her to try even harder.  I love it!  What can I say, I love seeing the competitive nature come out in her.  It's so much fun watching her get better and stronger, and open up and come out of her little shell.

Their little performance for the year is called Mayfest.  They get a trophy and perform a little dance and all the gymnastics they've been working on.  She was so excited to get a trophy like Jeter!

She thinks she's big enough to cook her own breakfast!  Eeek!

Her best friend is Hannah Filetti.  Hannah was the girl that first got Jerzi to realize it's fun to play with other kids.  Well, she moved about 50 minutes away.  We were so sad to see them move, but luckily it's not too far so we can still visit.  Jerzi loves horses, and it just so happens that Hannah does too, and they have horses.  So when we go visit, these two spend all their time out riding.  

Jerzi loves to take pics of herself on my phone doing crazy faces.  I've got about a million different pics that are similar to these.  The scary thing is she's got emotions that change about as much as her face changes for the photos.  She's our crazy little emotional girl, and we love her to pieces!!
