web.meSo after all the training this year, Tori managed to qualify for the National Finals in Limerick, but she did it in style! Tori got a Gold in her Floor routine after getting a score of 12.0…!
We’re off to Limerick in April for the Finals so hopefully she can bring home the Gold then also…
Good luck Tori 🙂
Oh and she also took part in the Stepaside St Patrick’s Day Parade before we went off to Bray for the carnival, busy times these days…!
Tori competed in her first competition in her current gymnastics club last Sunday and her group finished 1st! Tori got great scores, for Floor she got xx out of 12 and for Vault she got 10.8 out of 11…! What a first competition.
She has now been selected to move up two grades in the club, this means treble the hours per week. This will also mean many more trips out to Leopardstown for Alice, but I’m sure she won’t mind 😉
Roll on Rio 2016 … 🙂
Well this week it was off to Santry Races for Tori, she got picked and qualified to race in the 400 meter relay for her school. She had been practicing a 100 meter stretch out our back wile getting ready for the race. An impressive time of 17.01 secs was the best time posted in training.
We don’t know what time she actually got in the race as the times were not taken, but overall her group finished 4th…!
We’ll have to try and make sure she gets picked for the individual sprint race next year 🙂

This year has been filled so far with Tori doing her Freestyle Dancing. She has already taken part in four competitions with some really good results. She has managed to finish 2nd & 3rd in two of these competitions, with some 5th and 6th places in the others.
There’s lots more scheduled in the coming weeks and months, she is sure to be kept “Dancing” off her feet for the foreseeable future. And this added to the Majorettes, Gymnastics, Running, Motocross, plus she wants to start swimming, I’ve never known a busier child!
Good luck in your next competition this week Tori…!

It’s been another great year in the Majorettes for Tori and her group, they have had some really good results. They have had a couple of 1st and 2nd places to add to their tally.
Keep up the good Dancing girls and roll-on next year…!
What an amazing show:
This was a variety show and boy was there variety! But I really think the gymnastics was the most outstanding…!
The show was on for about 3 hours, but I just shot the gymnastics parts. The video shows a bit of another act just at the start for a min, but then the gymnastics starts.
Video of show…
Well it’s been a busy few weeks for the girls in the Majorettes, two competitions in four weeks! But not has it just been busy for Tori, Alice and some other mothers have also been busy getting ready to compete. Yes, the mothers when into both competitions as well!
I have to hand it to them, they are very brave and done very well, congrats girls and well done. They even came 1st in both competitions…
All finished now until next year. I wonder will the other groups put together mothers groups???
Here are the videos of the dances and trophy presentation – Mothers vids – Kids Vids – Trophy Presentations
You can see all the trophies Rialto won in the October competition. Didn’t do as well in the November one, but in fairness they didn’t have a lot of time to prepare. Some of the other groups didn’t do the Oct one so had plenty of time to get ready for Nov.
Next week now we have a gymnastics show, it doesn’t stop!!!
Well Tori made her communion last week and it was a great day. She looked like a real Princess. We visited losts of the family and it went really well. Casey, Jamie and Evan also made their communion too, and they also looked like Princesses and Prince…!
Some photos here, see under 2011, Communions (Tori, Casey & Evan).
Here is Tori while she was very young practicing her singing 🙂
Her first competition in the gymnastics. We didn’t get placed in the top three this time, but we did get a trophy for working the hardest all year.
Well done Tori. And Casey, Kelly, Jamie and Carly who also done great…
What a great trip…!
Would recommend anyone thinking of going to definitely do it. Well worth every penny. I think we might even go back again some time in the next couple of years. Great to bring Tori to see the big man in his home town.
Action-packed trip from the time you arrive until you go home. From snowmobiling to husky sleigh rides to reindeer rides to ice slides and quad bikes, just brilliant…!
See some pictures of this trip here, see under December 2010, Lapland 2010.
