Oh competition day. We all felt like Beam was going to be good, well that wasn't quite true. We all fell on our routine (except for Taylor, of course) so Ilia told me and Sadie to do 10 series and dismounts. We had 20 minutes to stick them all. I stuck them right on time!! WOO HOO!! After that Ilia told me to do round off rebounds which I was kind of scared for cause I hadn't done them in like a month! But I did them and they were really good!!! Yippee! Next was Bars and I stuck my routine, but Ilia didn't like my first half so I worked on that. After a while of that we went to Floor. Ilia put us in an order and guess what?...I was last. Why me? Anyway I went for it and it was pretty good and I stuck it! Ilia sent us to move the mats that still hadn't been moved that the boys had put there on Friday night that were stacked up for Vault. It was actually a pain to move them! But when we finally got them moved Taylor and Kendall did there Vaults first then me and Sadie went. I stuck my first one, but fell on my second one so I had to go again. I stuck the next two though!! YAY! Then we were done so I got to go a little early with Mommy to pick up Duncan and since he didn't end till 8:00 I had time to sit and read.
When we got home I went and made myself some dinner, which was really good! I took a tortilla and put some mustard, mayonnaise, ham, pepper jack cheese, and cheddar cheese on it and voila you have 'Drew's tortilla sandwich rap!' Yummy. After I ate I sat down and I think I read my book (Eragon) for over an hour! I finished a lot! Now I have to get off cause I kind of kicked Mommy of so that I could do this so yeah!
*I have Untouched stuck in my head!!

Yet again I can't think of a title
We went to Floor first and we did routines. And when I say routines I mean routines like plural. I thought we only had to do one routine cause that's was we normally do, but no. I had to do three! We never do more than two and even doing two is very rare. Kendall did ONE and then a dance routine! No fare! Anyway, when we were part way done with Floor some of the people that used to go here of coached here showed up and we (me, Kendall, Sadie, and Taylor) learned that Hailee was going to dinner with some old friends. So that was pretty cool to see people that used to coach me. We went to Bars next and I did more routines. After a little while me and Sadie did half pirouettes and free hips. Bars was pretty boring after that. We then went to Beam and did routines. I did three routines stuck in all, but it took me a while to do them cause I kept going crooked on my series! Oh so annoying! After I finally finished routines Ilia told me to stretch. Daddy picked me up and we went to Bana's after I was dressed.
When we got to Bana's I ate and then I sat and watched some TV with everyone. The food Bana made was really good. Now that we're home I'm sitting here and watching some more TV with Daddy. Night!!!

Got to write fast
OK really fast um yeah.
Gym was really boring we did routines on Beam and they were pretty good. I did two stuck then Ilia had me do round off back layouts with the pads. After a while of that we went to Bars. I did a couple of routines - I can't remember how many exactly - then it ended up that Ilia had sent us to Bars later than we were supposed to so we had to be done cause Natasha's girls were kicking us off. We went to vault next and since nobody had moved the mats that were piled up we just did round off stand up. It wasn't hard, but after a while it got really really really boring. Like its only been 20 minutes, but it feels like its been an hour kind of boring. But luckily after what felt like FOREVER Ilia told us to go stretch and it ended up that we were done a half hour early so I had plenty of time to get dressed for dance.
When I got to dance I discovered that my friend Lindsey had brought her friend from school so even though it was only one extra person so we only had four people it still felt like our class was soooo much bigger cause I'm so used to small classes. Five girls in the class at gym. Three at dance. Five in Young Womens. Seriously I have small classes, but I'm getting off track so lets see where was I...OH yes when I got to dance we did technique and it was pretty normal nothing too hard, but then we did pointe and that's when it started to get hard. There was some things that were really hard and some things I thought were going to be hard, but I did them really easy. So I guess that's good. When class was over Kalee kept me a little late so that she and Kymmerri could teach me the "Wild Things" dance for the recital. We're doing Alice in Wonderland for ballet. I'm "The Caterpillar!" And I'm also a "Card." Oh so much fun! For jazz we are doing Where the Wild Things Are and obviously I'm a "Wild Thing" and since there is so little people at our studio I'm also being in "Storm." Anyway we did that and I learned part of Wild Thing so I'll have to practice then we are learning more next week! Now its really really really really really really late so good night!!

Movie Sunday
So we watched a movie tonight. It was really really good. It's called The Ultimate Gift. And if you haven't seen it yet then I highly recommend it. So um yeah go watch it!!!
OH and while I'm remembering here is some quotes that me and Sadie typed up. There all by Taylor Swift except the last one was Sadie.
With you, I'd dance in a storm in my best dress. - Fearless
In your life you'll do things greater than dating the boy on the football team.
- Fifteen
This love is difficult, but it's real. - Love Story
All those other girls, well they're beautiful...but would they write a song for you? - Hey Stephen
She wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts. She's ceer catain and I'm on the bleachers. - You Belong With Me
I can't breathe without you...but I have to. - Breathe
Breathe
Tell Me Why
Forever and Always
You can tell me that you're sorry, but I don't believe you, baby, like I did before. You're not sorry. - You're Not Sorry
They might be bigger, but we're faster and never scared. - Change
You're so in love that you act insane...that's the way I loved you.
- The Way I Loved You
This album is called "FEARLESS." And I guess I'd like to clarify why we chose that as the title. To me, "FEARLESS" is not the absence of fear. It's not being completely unafraid. To me, FEARLESS is having fears. FEARLESS is having doubts. Lots of Them. To me, FEARLESS is living in spite of those things that scare yo to death. FEARLESS is falling madly in love again, even though you've been hurt before. FEARLESS is walking into your freshmen year of high school at fifteen. FEARLESS is getting back up and fighting for what you want over and over again...even though every time you've tried before, you've lost. It's FEARLESS to have faith that someday things will change. FEARLESS is having the courage to say goodbye to someone who only hurts you, even if you can't breathe without them. I think it's FEARLESS to fall for your best friends, even though he's in love with someone else. And when someone apologizes to you enough times for things they'll never stop doing, I think it's FEARLESS to stop believing them. It's FEARLESS to say "You're Not Sorry", and walk away. I think loving someone despite what people think is FEARLESS I think allowing yourself to cry on the bathroom floor is FEARLESS. Letting go is FEARLESS. Then, moving on and being alright...that's FEARLESS too. But no matter what love throws at you, you have to believe in it. You have to believe in love stories and prince charmings and happily ever after. That's why I write these songs. Because I think love is FEARLESS.
If you want it, it's not going to change unless you believe.
So there is my quotes for the day. Um yeah.

Morning workout! Wow for real!
We haven't had morning workout in forever! It felt kind of weird.
After we did conditioning Brynnlee (yeah I know I'll ask her) had us do 10 of each of our leaps, jumps, and turns for Beam and then we did things on the Floor for Beam. Like I did punch front tuck and side aerials. My landings weren't the best, but they were pretty good! After we did those we did more of the new skills and stuff on the Beam and Taylor's headstand still amazes me. We then went to Bars and after we did casts we had to do 10 half pirouettes then I had to do 10 free hips. My half pirouettes are getting better and my free hips were OK, but it was a little harder today cause I'm getting a rip and free hips pull on the skin and it kills!!! OUCHIE!
After Bars we went to Floor and did leaps then did two dance routines. We were done after that so we just went and stretched.
When I got home I didn't really do anything. It was a pretty boring day. The most I did was sit on the couch then go out side and help Mommy spray paint the filing cabinets she got and then we watched a movie a little while later. So like I said, boring.

Lots of routines!
OK so I didn't ask Brynnlee how to spell it yet, but really I promise I will...eventually. But anyway when I got to gym Brynnlee told us that we were doing routines today and that for Beam and Bars we would do this deal where if we stuck our first routine we only had to do three more routines stuck, but after the first one if we fell it just didn't count and we'd have to do another routine, but if you didn't stick your first routine then you had to do five more stuck that same way. Well after conditioning me and Sadie went to Beam first while Taylor and Kendall went to Vault and guess what...I stuck my first one! Than I fell on my second, but it's OK cause I stuck the next three after that! So I got done with that pretty fast and then I got to do full turns! Oh what fun. When everyone was done with Beam we went to floor and did two routines, but unlike Ilia we did it where if you fell you just kept going. Ilia NEVER I repeat NEVER lets us keep going if we fall on Floor! He does on other events, but not Floor so that was nice to know, but I didn't need to worry about it cause I stuck both routines. I had to do front tuck front tucks after my routines cause they weren't very good, but there getting better again! After we did leaps for a little while we went Bars and did the same deal as Beam. I stuck my first one and then the next three after that so I just had to work on half pirouettes and free hips after that, but Sadie and Kendall were both having a hard time with their routines and hadn't made any so they were crying then Taylor was crying cause she couldn't make her last routine. So after a little while Brynnlee called all of us over to talk to her and she talked to us and she said stuff like that she knows how bad it sucks when you can't make that stupid half pirouette for the tenth time and how you get so frustrated, but that instead of crying you have to take that frustration and turn it into energy cause crying takes away 30% of your energy. She then told us that we were all going to make at least two routines in the next 10 minutes without crying, but then she told me to just do what I was doing. So my friends did there routines and we were happy, for the most part at least. We still had a half hour left so me and Sadie went to Vault. We had to stick five Vaults and I only fell on one! After I was done with those five I was free to go with my dad to see Twilight for the fourth time! Yippee!
Me and Daddy had been planning on going to Olive Garden, but there was a long line to be seated so we went to Panda Express. The food was really good and I got to sit and talk with Daddy for a little while, but then it was time to go to the movie! When we got over to the theater and we were inline to buy our tickets I turned around and it turns out that one of the ladies that works at the orthodontist office that I go to was also going to see Twilight tonight! Ah what a small world it is. Anyway when we got in the theater it was very long till the movie started and I liked it about as much as I think I can and I'm starting to think that when the movie comes out on DVD I need to get it so that I can confirm things that I didn't notice the first couple of times I saw it. After the movie Daddy drove me home and I'm very happy to say that on our way we could see the U on the side of the mountain flashing red then white which means Utah won the gymnastics meet! Yay!

New coach!
Poor Sadie had to come to Russian today and she came on the day that we were having a hard time remembering things and the day that the light decided to go out on us! At first it was kind of faint then it started doing this flashing thingy that made look like we were blinking every half a second! Then it just stopped working and then all of a sudden it decided to do the blinking thing again for about 30 seconds then it went out again! Part way through class Mommy came in and gave me and Sadie our lunch. Mmmmm, food.
Since Ilia has to go out of town this weekend for Cody's competition we had to get a sub and the girl who is going to sub us is going to stay as Ilia's assistant coach! Her name is Brynnlee (I don't know if that's how you spell it so I'm going to ask her tomorrow so if I all of a sudden I spell it differently that's why). She's really nice. She was a gymnast and she made it to Level 10, but then it became too much for her and she quite when she was 17. She is an AWESOME coach!!! I'm really excited to have her as our coach!
Ilia didn't have to leave until 5:30 so after conditioning he sent us to Floor and Brynnlee told us what to do cause even though Ilia was there he wanted us to get used to having her coach us. I had to do five layouts then five fulls. It wasn't too hard, I mean I do those everyday! After that I did full and a half's onto the mat and I was having a hard time sticking them, but Brynnlee gave me some hints and then I was sticking them pretty easy!! I then had to do doubles next and I don't think I ever made it all the way around, but I got pretty close!! After we were done with tumbling we did dance routines then worked on our leaps then did one more. We went to Bars next and Ilia helped Brynnlee set up the Bars then Traci took him to the airport. Brynnlee had us to five sets of kip casts then I had to do four sets of two giants. We only had a few minutes left on Bars after that so she had me do three giant, giant kip dismounts and guess what!?!...I didn't peel off the Bar at all on my dismounts!! I haven't done layouts that good in a while! WOO HOO! We then went to Beam and since it was easy day we did dance routines, but since we had to share the Beams with this other group we only used one Beam and so while we were waiting for our turns we sat and talked with Brynnlee and filled her in on how things go around our gym and stuff like that then after everyone had done a couple of routines she told us to try and make up some skills to maybe do next year. There were lots of different stuff, but the one skill that everyone else couldn't do I did pretty good! It's actually not that hard it just hurts my arms a little! The funny thing that happened was that Taylor tried a headstand (on the Beam) and she made it and it looked awesome! She then tried to find different ways to get down from it, it was really funny and cool at the same time! In all it was a really good day at gym.
When Daddy picked me up from gym we went to Bana's and had dinner and sat and watched some TV with her. When it was about 8:45 I lay down on her coach and I was like asleep, but not asleep at the same time cause I could here everything people were saying and I could wake my self up and talk, but I was like in that sleeping mode. When we left I fell asleep in the car. We got home at about 9:20 and I really didn't want to get out of the car I just wanted to sleep! But I reluctantly got out and went inside and changed really fast then got in bed and fell asleep immediately. Oh I love sleep. I think I got about 11 hours counting the time I slept at Bana's and in the car.
