Nathan is finally having the gymnastics season he has hoped for relatively injury free.  He won Pbars in Vegas, 3rd in vault and finished 4th all around.  Big deal as it is a national invitational meet.  The big boys.  This weekend he gets to train and compete at the Olympic Training center in Colorado representing the western states.  He is so stoked on that.  For those that have not seen him in a while he is getting bigger and I no longer stand a chance in arm wrestling
