Chelsea Holland   Former Level 5 gymnast & FIVE-TIME  STATE CHAMPION!	Hello Mrs. Robin. It's Chelsea. How have you been doing lately? I have been doing quite well. Doing good in school as always. All A's here and still on honor roll. I'm getting ready for high school. Not sure where I am going, but I believe that I will more than likely take all honor's classes. Softball season is over now and oh was it sad. We mad it to play-offs. I will never forget it. I cried after that game. I got best defense award at the banquet and averaged about 78 pitches a game. I miss everyone at the gym:( You all were like my second family. I saw how Hannah, Brittany, and Kara won state. I'm so proud of them:) Let everyone know that I miss them and that I love them very, very much. I'm going to try to start keeping in touch with everybody at the gym. Please let everyone know that I said hello and that I miss them all much and love them. Much love,Chelsea Marie Holland
Kristin Kaufold:   Former Optional level gymnast & level 6 All-Around State Champ! 2007 VHS graduate & competion cheerleader	Emailed 9/3/08: Hey Robin, It was good to see you the other day. I haven't seen you in forever! I can't believe how much your kids have grown. How have you been? How are things at the gym? Is there any old gymnasts working there now that I would know? I watched the Olympics the last few weeks and it made me miss gymnastics so bad. Well, I guess my mom told you that I transferred to Valdosta and that I'm living with Callie George. Funny we actually met at the gym.  Anyway we like it down here so far. We have a nice apartment with 2 beds/2 bath, that we really enjoy. And we've made some new friends through different ministries on campus. And we hang out with a group of girls from home. O we're also playing flag football!I'm attaching some pictures from FCA camps we worked this summer and a few other random ones. Send me some of what's going on with you when you get a chance. I'd love to see them. I love you and I miss you! Kristen

Email: Hey Robin, I was looking at the website for the gym, and I miss gymnastics so much! I met a friend at school who was a former gymnast and we talk about it all the time. I wouldn't give up those days for anything. It looks like the girls you have now are doing amazing. I hope that you had a great Christmas and a happy new year.  Kaitlyn (Picture is of a date and me at his fraternity semi-formal)
Andrea Weaver VGC First Collegic Gymnast! She's  currently a Baylor University Gymnast with a 3.6 GPA & a great mom to son, Camden (born 6-2006). Also appeared on TLC's Texas Cheerleaders	Former level 9 VGC Gymnast Living in Waco, Texas & a COLLEGE GYMNAST! Emailed 1/2008: I was so excited and had no idea that you had another baby!! How old is the baby now? I would love to see a picture if you have one. I looked on your Springers website and it seems like yall are doing great! That is awesome the level 4's got 1st at state. I can't believe that the little girls that were on level 2 when I was there are now level 7 and 8. That seems hard to believe. I have my first gymnastics meet on the Baylor gymnastics team in 3 weeks. I am super excited about that!! I think I will be ready and have been working out hard. Baylor just started a club gymnastics team 2 years ago ( one of the girls I work with started it) and we compete level 9 requirements against teams like Texas AM, Texas Tech, Texas State, UT and we are supposed to go to nationals in North Caroline and compete against alot more teams. I have a new floor routine  one of my friends coaches choreographed that is really cool and I am competing practically the same Beam, Bars, and Vault I did my last year on Vidalia's team. I still work a little bit at a gym in Waco working birthday parties and Friday Frolics (like Flippin Fridays). I just don't think I could live without gymnastics in my life!! haha. It was good to hear from you and please send me some more details about Cayden and some pictures!!!!.
Kaylee Davis A current Jeff Davis cheerleading	Emailed 3/2008: Hey Robin!  I was just looking at the gym site and I was like - goodness!!  Those girls look like they are doing soo good!! Hopefully I will be able to make it to the meet in March!  I miss it so much! How is your family doing? Im sure the baby is growing fast!  I also saw where Mrs. Dawn had injured her back.  I will keep her in my prayers and if you talk to her tell her that I miss them!  Im sure Sydney has grown up so much!!  I feel old seeing some of these girls grown up!  It is weird to think I will be graduating in May,  it's unreal how time flys!  But I hope all is well! Take care. Kaylee Davis
Sydney Hill: Moved Fall '06 Competing in Cincinnati, OH	Emailed: 3/12/07: -Sydney competed at the Kalahari Resort in Sandusky, Ohio on Lake Erie.  The area was under a blizzard warning, so Sydney left early in Friday to get ahead of the weather.  She competed on Saturday morning, and only 3 girls from her team were able to make it to the meet due to the storm.  Sydney placed 1st on bars with a 9.425 and 1st all-around with a 36.8.  She also placed 2nd on floor.  She was more excited with the fact that her team of 3 girls placed 3rd against teams of 15 and more!  The girls who competed on Friday ended up stranded at the resort, and the ones who competed on Saturday and Sunday couldn't get to the meet.  The coach invited all of the Gym Nation girls to her room for a movie and popcorn on Saturday night, and Sydney really enjoyed that.  Also, the Kalahari has an indoor waterpark, putt putt golf and arcade, so the girls were well entertained. The big problem was the staff at the resort were stranded, too, either at the Kalahari or at their homes.  They had to set up buffets of food for people to eat instead of opening up the restaurants, so Sydney also enjoyed a weekend of junk food!  She had one meet left in level 6 - Spring State in April!
