I like one someone previously suggested: BratAnnie

Bratayley:Overspending Life.

Simply because their way of "Celebrating life" is buy spending...spending...spending....

But I suck at names.

STOP with the English accents! They're awful.

I agree. I have a challenge for them. Let's see if they can go an entire vlog without some sort of accent (the Miranda one included), and no baby talk.

Or a drinking game for us lot

Drink a shot every time they do the voices
Drink a shot every time Annie mentions about getting a horse
Drink a shot every time they buy a new unneeded car
Drink a shot every time they put the dogs in kennels and take Hayley out of school

I don't understand that liv story - why would they leave if she didn't do that specific vault?

I used to watch this family a lot (years ago before they got really big) and they've definitely let the internet fame/money get to their heads. The kids were all in school (well Hayley was in a preschool) and much less annoying. Even the parents were less annoying (probably cause you didn't see them)

Aiden is a breath of fresh air though! I remember seeing him as a baby. I wonder if Nonnie is his guardian/whatever? Whenever he visits he's never with his parents. Not so strange usually but you'd think they'd want to be with him for Christmas?

Well I read that Aiden's mother got in a serious car accident earlier this year and so she can't take care of him at the moment; and that his father is not in the picture. I also read that she is in rehab so.....who knows? I get the feeling that his mother had him young. Her name is Serenity.

I don't know if that Liv story is true. Maybe the Bratayley family felt that Liv didn't deserve to be in level 8 since she didn't have the right vault and that she should have stayed in level 7 with Annie and Katie. They could have all agreed to keep their kids in level 7 and then Liv's family went and put her ahead. It all sounds quite petty to be honest. If it's true then it really confirms the assholery of the Bratayley family for me.

I was following the whole 'bratayley deep dark secret' thing on instagram quite closely until it just suddenly fizzled out. I really hope that this 'truth' does come out at some point. I want to know so badly

Aidens mom could be in physical rehab if she was in a bad car accident, not drug/alcohol rehab. Or was it specified that she was in substance abuse rehab?

I checked her Facebook profile and she's been posting/sharing stuff recently (as recent as Christmas/after Christmas) and has uploaded a few pics recently where she appears to look completely fine. Where are people getting the news that she was in a serious car accident?

[lmmomSD]

Rumors seem to be particularly rampant with this family. Don't know if it's because of Caleb (there are still rumors he's alive and it hiding floating around) or what. But it's pretty ridiculous. I admit I take things people say here to be truthful. Guess I need to be more skeptical!

[philippa26]

I remember hearing it was something drug related. I think her Facebook when I looked a few months ago said something about being clean so I assumed that was true.
Whatever it is, I hope she's doing well.

I don't know how much you know about gymnastics, but for level 8, there are a variety of vaults a gymnast must do to get a start value of 10.0. A Yurchenko style of vault(round-off back handspring onto the vaulting table) is the most common one that level 8's will do.
So if Liv didn't do it, she wouldn't be like totally meeting the level 8 requirement(have a lower start value).

If they were coming for that. Then basically they'd leave because she isn't "ready"(I mean I don't know why you need to do that to a little girl just don't come to begin with?).

If I'm remembering correctly, Whitney didn't do a Yurchenko until recently.


Honestly, if the Brateyleys did this I wouldn't be surprised.


I was reading up about First Class gym on google reviews and it seems like coach Mary picks favorites. Also, it seemed she filmed girls that families specifically didn't want to be filmed(like why pay for gym, then coach Mary video taps them for her own personal gain$$$).
I also heard, she "lures" non-competitive kids into competitive gym.

If you are talking about what I posted about Aiden's mom, at no point did I say it was the absolutely truth. I even said 'who knows' in my post. I don't know this family personally and all the stuff I post is straight off the internet.

Oh, I didn't think you were lying. I'm just saying _I_ personally need to check before I comment on things. Sorry if I said it badly. No offense meant.
And there are always rumors about these guys in particular. Don't know what it is.

Why are they selling merchandise and having a meet and greet when Annie + Hayley aren't old enough to have a job + make money. It's kinda hard to explain but I just don't see the logic in people spending money on Bratayley merchandise when Annie and Hayley probably don't even have enough money themselves to buy some of the merch. I get that Katie and Billy still pay for things they buy, and probably parents are the ones who are buying more merch than the children themselves, but it just seems odd. Even with the gymnastics meet it seems odd they are charging more money than Annie and Hayley probably have.

On the subject of the gymnastics meet (they discussed it a little bit in the vlog today because it's coming up shortly), is it going to be any good? Some members above were talking about the good gymnastics meets and seem to have knowledge on this stuff, so is it worth competing in? I'm out of the loop on gymnastics meets and whatnot so if someone knows the answer that would be interesting to know.

[lmmomSD]

So I am totally clueless-- are they actually sponsoring a meet? And if so, are they really expecting a lot of gymnasts?

I've wondered the same. It isn't a strictly Bratayley event. Shawn Johnson is a huge part of it. I'll be curious to see what kind of turnout they actually get. How many gyms are willing to spend the money to get the kids to California for this? Are the medals they receive for each event credible? What WILL they receive for competing and winning in an event?

I think there are two factors which may hinder more gymnasts/gymnastics teams from competing in this event. One is that the event has Bratayley's name in it, which obviously makes sense since they are one of the hosts, but there are a lot of gymnasts and teams who have never heard of the Bratayley's before. Going off of this, since it's a new meet it won't have the credibility that other, older meets have I presume. Secondly, I don't think Shawn Johnson has the "pull" and "recognition" that other gymnasts have. I guess if you are a gymnast you know all about her, but she's not Aly Raisman or Simone Biles. It'll be interesting how it turns out for sure. Are the Coral Girls participating? That seems unfair if they are but I wouldn't be shocked if they were.

The fact that Bratayley are holding a meet and greet, and even have it listed on the competition schedule (http://www.greatdestinations.info/docum ... le_000.pdf) seems like they decided to have a meet for the attention. Not only that, but I think that may not help the meet become successful because the point of a meet is to showcase top gymnasts/gymnastics talent but if you have the Bratayley's +Olympic gymnasts there doing meet and greets it just seems like less attention is being put on the actual meet. It just doesn't seem right to me.
