First I have to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY SADIE!!!
Today is Sadie's 12th birthday and I really wish I could spend it with her, but I'll just have to do stuff with her when I get back. I read my book for a while after breakfast and then we all got ready to leave. We went on a hunt to find the pictographs. When we found a couple we took some pictures and then just kept on looking. We soon found lots more! We took tons of pictures! All of us sat down in the shade. Dad, Bana, and I stayed down in the shade while everyone else (dogs included) went up the hill of rocks. When they got a little over half way Duncan and Carla stopped with the dogs and Hunter and Aaron kept going until they got all the way to the freaking top! When they finally got back down we sat down and had lunch. After everyone was done eating the boys and I went with Carla out into a field over by where we had set up camp and then we started flying kites!! It was lots of fun! I stayed out for a while, but then I got tired so I sat down and read my book. At 5:00 we packed up and drove to Naturita to get gas and some snacks. Then we drove down to this road right by the Deloris and San Miguel rivers. It was so pretty! I wish that our camera hadn't run out of battery! We got home soon after that and the adults started cooking dinner while I went and took a shower. Once again the shower was amazing! Next we ate and then Hunter went to bed while the rest of us stayed up and played "Scattergories" it was lots of fun even though I couldn't ever think of things! Oh well.

Day #3
We didn't do much yesterday. Just really sat around for a while and then Aaron and Dad went on a very loooooooong drive. I'm not really sure where they went, but it took about five hours to do it. While they were gone I sat and watched the first "Lord of The Rings" with Duncan. And then I got out my homework and my MP3 Player. I did one page of math which I think is pretty good...though I really did want to do some math everyday, but obviously that hasn't happened and I don't think that it will. I got out a blank card Bana gave me and sat down to write Mom a letter. Next I went outside and read my book "Leven Thumps and the Gateway to Foo". So far its slightly confusing, but I know I'll get it pretty soon, I hope. I also got some mosquito bites while I was out there. I hate mosquito bites! After a bit of reading I went inside and watched the third "Lord of the Rings" with Duncan (can you tell he likes them?) of course when we finally got to the really good part Dad and Aaron came home and since the boys and I were making spaghetti, alfredo, and bread sticks. I got to see little parts of it, but that's really all. Oh well. Anyway, After dinner I took some pictures of Aaron, Hunter, and Duncan playing horse shoes. I only got pictures of Hunter's and they aren't the best, but I did get some. I went inside after that and got on the computer and talked with Mom while I wrote on here. Monopoly: World Edition which uses credit cards instead of the little fake money. And guess what!?! I've moved up one in the rankings every night so...that's right! Carla and I won!! Aaron and Duncan came in second and poor Dad and Hunter were last...again. Dad has been last every night so far. More coming soon!!

~pout~Sorry! (again)
So once again I have been bad and not written in over a week. but there is an explanation!! Um.....OK actually there isn't a very good one so moving on! So I keep saying that the reason I haven't been writing is because I'm so busy and I really do think that is part of it, but I think that another reason is that I don't really have anything to write about anymore. I mean I just do the same thing at gym everyday (mostly) so I don't have anything to say! Anyway I'm just going to give a run down of the fun things I did this week (non-gym related) and then the gym related things. So on Thursday I left gym early and my Dad took me to this little book store and we got my Fablehaven books signed!! And "The Candy Shop Wars", which is also written by Brandon Mull!! It was so cool to meet him!! I was (literally) jumping for joy! On Saturday Mom ran the half marathon (YAY!) and so Bana took me and picked me up from gym. It was lots of fun to see her since I don't get to as much anymore. While we were on our way back to the house we had called Mom and when we turned the corner I looked over and there she and Nama were walking back to the car!! It was awesome!! Haha! When we got home Bana took the boys and I out to lunch at "Red Robin". Oh. My. Gosh. Such good food!! On Sunday I was really nervous because I had to give my first talk in sacrament. Freaky! But it ended up OK and I made it through the whole thing, probably looking and sounding like a total dork the whole way through, but that's OK, right!?! We had our meeting for Girls Camp on Sunday as well and I'm pretty sure that Natalie, Chamberlain, and I will end up bunking together, so YAY!! Now for gym stuff!! Are you excited? You should be. Most of the week I didn't really do anything exciting, but then on Friday guess what I did!?! My giant giant double back into the pit!! AAAAAAAH!!! So exciting!! I couldn't get the grin off of my face!! And I even was doing them right! I was letting go when I was supposed to!! EEEEEEP!!!

Maybe not
Since yesterday was April Fools Day I decided to play a joke on my gym friends and this is something like how it went: I sit down to stretch with them and say "So you know how I finished Fablehaven last night?" and they said "Yeah" (this is where it gets good) "Well guess what!?! I finished Brisingr too!!!" now Kendall looks at me with pure anger and shock all mixed in one and screams "You what!!! You finished it in one day!! BOOKWORM!!! Oh my gosh, BOOKW..." She couldn't finish because I looked at her and with a smile on my face said plain an simple "April Fools".
So when I got to gym yesterday my back was really hurting me, but that wasn't the worst. When we were almost to the gym I got a really bad stomach ache and it wouldn't go away so when I told Ilia he had me sit for a while and when it wasn't getting better he had me call Mom. It took her a while to get there, but when she finally got there I was starting to feel a little better, but not totally so I went with her. We went and got me some food and then took Duncan to dance. I was starting to feel even better so when we went inside because the car was cold I sat and read my book for a while and then I got up and started to walk around a little bit. Bad idea. My stomach started to hurt really bad again so I had to sit down again. Mom gave me some Tums and I think that helped, but I'm not really sure. Anyway I'm feeling better now and I went to morning work out this morning. We did Bars and I was do stalder timers on strap and then Ilia had me do them on the normal bar. I actually could do them pretty good!!

What to say...
I had to go to the Ortho today. It wasn't very much fun. I hate going to the Ortho cause it always hurts my teeth!! Anyway while I was waiting for Duncan to be done with his appointment I sat and read my book. Thinks happened that left me speechless. When I got to gym we did conditioning and then Ilia had Taylor and Hailee do ballet since they're hurt and had me, Sadie, and Kendall do leap complex on Floor. It was actually really hard and tiring. I'd forgotten how much strength it takes to do leaps. When we were done with leaps complex we did tumbling complex except for we didn't do all of the tumbling stuff at the end. That was also equally hard. After Floor was Bars. Sadie and I went to strap bar first and did the same thing as yesterday. We then did those front tuck thingys. I'm getting a lot better at them!!! They're actually not that hard when you get the hang of it!! Soon we had to go to Beam and of course I did the same as yesterday: back handspring aerials and then leaps. But unexpectedly Ilia told me to do front tucks on the floor after a while and then he had me do it on the Beam with pads!! SCARY!! Ilia kept on telling me not to change what I was doing and to just keep on doing it like I was on the floor and eventually I did it good. We then stretched and Dad came and picked me up.
Now I'm going to write about how I feel about my book.
So first I should say that I finished Fablehaven. And things happened in it that I can't explain because you have to read it to know and because even if I could write about it I wouldn't know what to say. I feel like when I'm reading Fablehaven I become Kendra. I feel what she feels I see things the way she does and even when I stop reading it I still feel like her and now its more than ever. Even when I just think about it I'm Kendra again. I know that sounds weir, but yet I know its true. Now I have to stop writing because Dad wants me to go to bed.

State Weekend
3/29
Sorry I didn’t write Friday night or Saturday night! I just got so busy!! I might not be able to remember everything, but I’ll try the best I can to let you know what I did.
3/27
After I wrote on Friday I ate my food and then Lena called and said that she and Khyla would come and pick me and Mom up and take us to the Level 9 meet!! The girls did awesome!! Floor was first. Kendall did fall, but she still got a 8.45!! Taylor did amazing as usual! She got a 9.075!!! Go Taylor!! Their Vaults were also very good!! I’m so proud of them!! On Bars Taylor did awesome, but Kendall had a hard time because for some really weird reason – this never happens to her – she fell on her free hip and her dismount. Oh, Kendall! I think you need a hug!! After we talked to her for a while she stopped crying and we could sit there and have fun. Kendall stuck her Beam again!!! Taylor had a one fall, but she still got an 8.35!! I sat with them for awards and they all got awesome places! Kendall got 9th in the All Around and Taylor got 5th! We had to leave before they did Team Awards, but I think that they got 2nd place. We went to the store on the way back to the house and Mom got some food to make Chicken Spaghetti for lunch on Saturday. When we got back to the house I got in my PJs and went to bed….
Here’s the Lvl 9 scores:
Vault Bars Beam Floor AA
Kendall 8.85 7.40 8.80 8.45 33.50
Taylor 8.925 8.70 8.35 9.075 35.05

When I woke up Saturday Mom told me that I had a half hour to get ready and then we had to leave for Duncan’s clogging competition. I did it though it was a little hard to eat and get everything ready in time, but I managed. When we got to the competition Duncan went and found his class and sat with them. While we were waiting Mom and I sat and watched the dances. After a little bit we went and found the clothes stands and stuff like that and we ended up getting me two shirts and we found this shirt that had ‘CLOG’ in bubble letters and in the ‘C’ it said ‘clog’ in lots of different styles, but the size that we found wouldn’t fit Duncan so we just kept looking and then I found one!! So now Duncan has that shirt and he’s been wearing it all weekend. Duncan and Alyssa did great!!! They were a little off of the music, but they still ended up getting a 1st place. They were both awesome in free style too! Duncan got 1st and I think Alyssa did too! When we were waiting for the scores to be posted Mom sat me down and did my hair. She had to redo it a lot because it felt to loose or she didn’t like how it looked or something and then when we got back to the house all of the elastics were popping so she had to do it yet again! After that I sat and read my book and then we had lunch and I read for a little after that, but then I got tired so I had a nap.
When I woke up from my nap I got ready for my meet and then pretty soon we were off!! We got to it early so I sat around for a little while and then it was time to start. After open stretch we did walk in and they gave each team a car that said the name of the gym on it and we all decided that we wanted to take it to the gym and hang it up!! Floor was first just like the Level 9s. I was 3rd so I had to warm up pretty fast. I felt like it was a pretty good routine and Ilia said he was happy with it so that was good. I wasn’t thinking I’d get any awesome score, but guess what!?!…9.2!!! Oh, yeah!!! Sadie did an awesome routine as well!! I stuck both of my Vaults, but Ilia said that I would have gotten a lot higher score if I had kept my legs tight in my round off, but I still got an 8.75 so YAY!! On Bars Sadie had a bad fall on her free hip and her dismount, but instead of just a normal fall it was where on her free hip she slipped as she was coming up and she did a flip onto her back and on her giant-giant-layout she did the first giant and when she was coming down to do the second one she pealed off the bar and did a very scary dismount to her back again. I didn’t know what to do to help her and she wouldn’t really talk when you tried to talk to her. ~sigh~ I did my Bar routine and apparently it was good cause I got a 8.7 so that’s good. On Beam I went crooked on my series in warm up and then when I went for it in my routine it was straight, but not all the way straight so even though I tried really hard to stick it I still fell. I stuck the rest of it though!! I thought that it was a good routine other than my fall, but I guess not cause I got a 7.95. Sadie on the other hand though didn’t even want to compete Beam after what happened on Bars and it ended up that she did the most amazing routine and got a 9.1!! I’m hoping that will give Sadie back some confidence she was losing on Beam.
When we were all done we sat down on the Floor and waited for awards to start. While we waited me and my friend Stephanie from GTC kept on switching where we would sit one minute I’d sit with the GTC girls and then the next she would sit with me and my friends. I did pretty good in the awards I mean its not like I’m doing this just for the awards, but sometimes it’s fun to be able to say that you won. Anyway I tied for 4th place on Vault, 6th on Bars, 10th on Beam, and…….1st on FLOOR!!!! YAY!!! I’m still overly happy about getting 1st on Floor. I’m not sure when I’ll get over that maybe never. I didn’t think that I had qualified for Regionals, but I did. Micaela, Paige, Abby, Hope, Hannah, and Kim also qualified. Hannah and Kim qualified for the Regional Team. I’m not really sure what that means, but it’s still cool!!!
When the awards were over I talked with Steph and she invited me to go swimming with her and her friends from GTC. I wanted to go, but Khyla had also invited me to go swimming with her and I didn’t want to leave Khy out so I invited her to come with Steph and me. Khyla ended up not going swimming at all because she had forgotten her goggles and didn’t want swim without them. I went swimming with Steph while my friends in my class all had a party together, without inviting me of course. I’m slightly bugged by that, but oh well. I had lots of fun with Steph, Madi, Frannie, Lauren, and some of the girls from Air Bound so whatever. When I got back to the house it was late so I went straight to bed.
Here’s the scores for Lvl 8:

When I woke up this morning I had to race to get all of my stuff packed so that we would leave at 11:00. I felt like I was a little rushed, but it ended up OK cause I got everything packed. When we stopped for gas on our way out of town I got a drink and a snack, which ended up lasting me the whole ride home!! I read my book at first, but then Mom wanted us to watch a movie called “Fist Full of Dollars” it was actually pretty good. It wasn’t the best and not very much happened, but it was good. When the movie was over the boys wanted to watch “Iron Man” and I didn’t really feel like watching another movie so I read my book for the rest of the ride and it went by really fast!!! When we got home I sat down and read more of my book, but then Mom made me go and unpack. When I was done I went and read my book some more. And now I’m almost done with it!!!
Sorry I didn’t write Friday night or Saturday night! I just got so busy!! I might not be able to remember everything, but I’ll try the best I can to let you know what I did.

We’re in St. George!! We left yesterday at about 1:30 and got here at about 6:00ish. After we were sitting around for a while we went to go and get some food. We found a place that looked good, but the wait was about a half hour so we decided to go somewhere else. We ended up going to “Ruby Tuesday”. It was really really good! We had lots of laughs. When we got back to the house that we rented we all sat down and watched “Ferris Buhler’s Day Off”. It was soooooooo funny!! Bwahahaha! ~sigh~ After that I got ready to go to bed. I slept really well. The bed was so comfy and I didn’t wake up in the middle of the night at all! Normally when I’m not in my own bed I wake up a lot, but I didn’t!! When I woke up I ate some breakfast and then took a shower. It felt so good to get clean. When I got out Mom, Hunter, Duncan, and I all sat down and played “Uno”. I of course never got 1st place, but I did get 2nd a couple times though!! YAY!! Hunter, Duncan, and I were playing with Duncan’s remote control helicopter when Mom said that we all had to do our homework. I finished everything pretty fast, well other than Russian, which I spent a while on because Dad was helping me. After that the boys finished there homework while I read my book. Oh I forgot to mention that I finished “Eldest” on Wednesday and now I’m reading “Fablehaven: Secrets of the Dragon Sanctuary”. I LOVE THE FABLE HAVEN BOOKS! I loved them before, but I love them even more now and I’m not even half way done with this book!!!! Daddy and Duncan went to get Pizza while I was reading, but after a little while I got up and went out side. I climbed the rock fountain since it’s not running because it’s too cold. Even though it’s like 60 degrees. Oh well. When I went inside Mom had me type up my Writing story for homework and now that Dad and Duncan are back I’m going to finish eating. I’ll write more later!!!!

We’re in St. George!! We left yesterday at about 1:30 and got here at about 6:00ish. After we were sitting around for a while we went to go and get some food. We found a place that looked good, but the wait was about a half hour so we decided to go somewhere else. We ended up going to “Ruby Tuesday”. It was really really good! We had lots of laughs. When we got back to the house that we rented we all sat down and watched “Ferris Buhler’s Day Off”. It was soooooooo funny!! Bwahahaha! ~sigh~ After that I got ready to go to bed. I slept really well. The bed was so comfy and I didn’t wake up in the middle of the night at all! Normally when I’m not in my own bed I wake up a lot, but I didn’t!! When I woke up I ate some breakfast and then took a shower. It felt so good to get clean. When I got out Mom, Hunter, Duncan, and I all sat down and played “Uno”. I of course never got 1st place, but I did get 2nd a couple times though!! YAY!! Hunter, Duncan, and I were playing with Duncan’s remote control helicopter when Mom said that we all had to do our homework. I finished everything pretty fast, well other than Russian, which I spent a while on because Dad was helping me. After that the boys finished there homework while I read my book. Oh I forgot to mention that I finished “Eldest” on Wednesday and now I’m reading “Fablehaven: Secrets of the Dragon Sanctuary”. I LOVE THE FABLE HAVEN BOOKS! I loved them before, but I love them even more now and I’m not even half way done with this book!!!! Daddy and Duncan went to get Pizza while I was reading, but after a little while I got up and went out side. I climbed the rock fountain since it’s not running because it’s too cold. Even though it’s like 60 degrees. Oh well. When I went inside Mom had me type up my Writing story for homework and now that Dad and Duncan are back I’m going to finish eating. I’ll write more later!!!!

The little things
Beam was first yesterday, as always. When I was going for my series I was straight, but just like at Bear Country my hand slipped and I fell, but it wasn't my routine so it wasn't as bad. Anyway I smacked my whole right thigh on the Beam and went up to my friends and was like "Guys, I can feel the bruise forming!" and sure enough after about a minute my leg turned purple, but then oddly it went away just as fast. I also scraped my hand down the Beam and got a little burn on my hand it hurt so bad!!! It still stings!! I went for my routine after that and I stuck it so that was good, but I don't think Ilia saw my really really crappy full turn cause when I went over to him he told me to do leaps. I did do leaps, but I also did full turns. We went to Bars next and my burn hurt so bad that I had to go and get a band aide so that my wristy wouldn't rub. I made my first routine and then Ilia had me work on free hips. THEY WERE REALLY GOOD!! In my opinion. Ilia just kept saying they were bad, but they were good for how low mine normally are and now I just have to push my shoulders open more so that I'm in handstand and then I have to make sure I always do that!! Haha! When we were done with Bars it was our time for Beam, but we were already done with it so Ilia had us do ballet. It was slightly boring, but fun at the same time. When we were done Ilia had us do dance routines on Floor and then when we were done with those we did these things that I don't know how to spell so I'm not going to say what they are. We were done after that and I was getting dressed for ballet when Mommy came in and told me that I didn't have dance cause Kymmeri had a performance for school.
When I got home I started to read. After a little while I figured out how many possible hours I have to read and how many pages I have to read an hour. 35. I have to read about 35 pages an hour. I did it! I did two hours of 35 pages each hour so that's like 70 pages!!!! EEEEEP!!! I think I really can do this!! Since I read for so long I didn't get to write on here so that's why I'm a little late. Now it's time to be super speedy with my other homework and then...READ!!!!
These are the pictures that Kendall took in San Jose. Yes I know I'm depressed cause I still can't get mine to work. Boo Hoo.
In case you couldn't tell all of those pictures where its me, Kendall, and Taylor with Sadie occasionally frowning to the camera is that hour we were waiting to go to Beam.
See now she doesn't look tired!!
I love this girl!!!
Almost to the airport!!!!

Really fast chat!! (hehe)
So I had gym this morning. 9:00 is just insane, but anyway when I got there none of my class was there so I just waited and then Sadie came and right when gym started Kendall got there. She and Ashley had had a sleep over and they were going to hangout of after gym also so Ashley got to stay!! I miss Ash so much!! After we were done with conditioning we went to Bars. Ashley had her grips so she did some stuff with us and she did strap bar. We were going to do kip cast with Ilia at first, but then he decided that he wanted us to do those swing timer things on the pit bar. My swings were better today and I actually could do the flip and after I did it for a while it got almost (emphasis on the almost) easy. We ended up only doing those on Bars, but I was totally fine with that!! We went to Floor next and I worked on doubles again. I got farther around today so I guess that's good, but I probably wont get to work on them next week cause Ilia will want us to do routines everyday since it's State. Oh, well. When we had like 10 minutes left of gym we got out Kendall's camera and took a picture that Hailee had wanted to take all week. It was waaaay cute!! Anyway after we took a bunch of pictures it was time to stretch and I'll post pictures when Kendall sends them to me.
When I got home I called Natalie to see if she could come over and hang out and after a long time of calling her and having her check with her mom and then waiting for her to come we finally got to hang out!! Yay! I love Natalie she is such a nice person!! We went over to Sammie's house (which isn't really her house right now I guess) and we jumped on the tramp for a while and then her dad came so she had to go. I wish that she didn't, but oh well. When Natalie was gone I went inside and got my book out to read. After I read for a little while I fell asleep on the bed. Oh I love naps, don't you? When I woke up I went upstairs to find everyone making something so I went back downstairs and got out my book to calculate how many pages I have to read every day so that I can finish Eldest before Tuesday so that I can read Fablehaven. Well I've got to go read now and let Mommy get on the computer!!

Comp day
Beam was first today. After I was done warming up I went for my routine and sadly I fell, but I stuck my next one so it was OK. And I think that's pretty good considering the fact that we only had a half hour to do Beam and it took 20 minutes for all four of us to warm up. So really I had ten minutes to do my routine! I know I'm so good. We went to Bars next and my routine was actually pretty good. I worked on free hips afterward, of course, but then finally we were done with Bars and we went to Floor. Floor was actually really good. I stuck my front tuck front tuck easily and they were pretty high too, well I think they were. And last we went to Vault. I went for my Vault and I stuck it so I asked Ilia how many we had to do and he said 'Show me two in a row.' Well me and Sadie thought that he would count it if I stuck the next one so Sadie let me go and I stuck it, but Ilia said 'One more.' So I ended up sticking three really good Vaults...in a row!!!! Yes I'm that good.
When Mommy picked me up we went up to wait for Duncan at dance so I got to sit and read for about 40 minutes. I got pretty far into my book too!!! The boys are watching Harry Potter so I'm going to go and watch it with them now so see ya!

Clogging Boy!!!!!
So today was Duncan's first Clogging Competition and he did awesome!!!!
When we got there we sat down and waited a while then he went up and did freestyle. He was the only one in his age group for that so we knew he was going to get first and when he went over to the desk to get his pin he wasn't surprised that it was a first place pin, but later on when we found one of our friends that has been doing this for a while explained to us that the judges give them a score and if they are above a certain score they get 1st and same thing with the 2nd and 3rd so really he could have gotten 2nd place if he hadn't done so AMAZING!!! For the team dance they did really good! Duncan was a little off the music, but I guess that most kids in novice don't really do steps they just kind of do jumps and stuff, but Duncan's class is ahead cause they're doing steps some of them even look better then the kids in beginning!! Anyway his team got 1st place!!! So they are qualified for Nationals! So cool!!!
When we got back from the competition our cousins from Logan were just getting here so we said Hi to them, but then they were off to go to the Draper Temple. I didn't really do anything after that except for sit down and read and read and read some more. But when the cousins got out of the Temple they called us and we met them at 'Wendy's' cause Grandpa thought that it would be good for us to get out of the house since the furnace isn't working so its absolutely FREEZING!!! Brrrr. When we got home I sat down and read my book. And now I'm going to bed!!!

But you said just leaps!?!?
So Ilia sent us to Floor after we did conditioning and Taylor told Ilia that her back hurt and he sat there for a minute then said to just do leaps and dance routines so we did and then after a little while he was like "Drew! Sadie! Kendall! What are you doing you have to do tumbling I only told Taylor to do leaps!" OK Ilia just so you know when we ask you what to do and you say just do leaps and routines we only do that!!! Gosh! So we started tumbling and when me and Sadie had done some good fulls we moved onto full and a halfs and mine were actually pretty good today! And I don't know how we got on the subject, but we started talking about how some of the most used words by people are um, like, gosh, so, and k (instead of OK). And so the rest of the time on Floor we would be talking then one of us would say something and someone else would start to laugh and we couldn't stop it! Even when that's the thing we were talking about! Haha! So silly. Anyways after Floor we went to Bars and me and Sadie did some good giants then did half pirouettes. My half pirouettes are getting lots better! So YAY! :) We went to Beam next and did three routines. I stuck my first one then fell on the second and stuck the two after that! My series were pretty straight today so that helped a lot. And since my leaps are getting better, but they still aren't very good I worked on those then gym was over so we went and stretched.
I don't know what is up with me and "The Veronicas", but here's two more songs by them.
"When It All Falls Apart" I think this is my favorite of there songs.
"4Ever" I don't know where, but I think I've heard this song before.
I'd tell you about what we did at Bana's and stuff like that, but that would spend time that could be used to read my book so see ya! Night!

It's coming!!! (so stop worrying!)
I'm haven't finished (actually I haven't even started) typing up what we did over the weekend in California, but don't worry I'm getting to it and you will have it soon. Maybe. Anyway back to today! After conditioning we went to Beam and Ilia told me to do 25 leaps because that's where I got my deductions last weekend. I made it up to 14 - good - leaps then he told us to go to Bars. And of course I had to do half pirouettes and free hips. We did that for awhile then when Hailee was done with Bars Ilia went home really fast (he wasn't feeling good) and had Hailee coach us for the rest of Bars. When we were done with Bars we went back to Beam and I finished my leaps then had to do round off rebounds. When we had about a half hour left we went to Vault and did drills where we would do the round off then just stand up on to the mats that were stacked up. After we were done I changed really fast and Mommy took me over to ballet.
It was just me and Kymmeri today so we did technique then when we got to pointe we did lots of exercises for our pointe and to make sure we were getting on our box and and my ankle hasn't really ever fully gotten better since I sprained it and what we were doing was really hurting it so after we were done with those and we were just doing normal stuff my ankle started to give out on me. So we finished pointe early and the last half hour of class was spent teaching me the rest of the "Wild Things" dance. Son now I'm caught up in that dance and I just have to practice that and next week we're going to work on the "Card" dance.
Now I have to go and plan out how many pages I have to read everyday for the next two weeks because Duncan is a little meanie and even though I asked Mommy month ago if I could read the next Fablehaven book first and she said yes he is saying that he should be the first one to read it because I take forever to read books and so I said 'Duncan it will probably take me a week!' and he said 'Ya, so I won't get to read it till a week after it comes out!' um...news flash Duncan its a WEEK! But anyway since I'm reading Eragon and I still have to read the two books after that and he is be rude I have to read two and a half books in two weeks!!!! Ugh! Duncan if I don't finish I don't care what you say you're NOT READING IT FIRST!!!!!
Bye now!

I feel so untouched right now, need you so much...*
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!!

TEXAS!!!
I'm going to separate the Texas trip so that it makes more sense!!
Oh and if you don't have a lot of time you might want to read this later! Hehe.
Saturday
While we (meaning Khyla, Kim, Mommy, Lena, Colleen, and me) were waiting to board our flight to Denver me, Khy, and Kim played war and normally it doesn't take very long, but this game took almost 45 minutes!! It was crazy! After the game was finished it was time to get on the plane. I sat next to Khyla and Kim while the adults sat across from us. It was lots of fun to sit in the plane and play games and laugh with my friends. When we got to the airport we had a three hour overlay, but it ended up being a two hour overlay cause since it was snowing in Salt Lake we left there almost an hour late! Anyway we got lunch and then after we had all eaten me, Khy, and Kim played Apples to Apples. Here is a picture of Khyla and Kim while we were playing!
Isn't that soooo cute!!!
The plane ride was fun cause this time we had an extra hour to do things! We played a bunch of games and I read my book for a little while and when we had about a half hour left of the trip me and Khy started looking out the window and I took a bunch of pictures of the clouds so here they are!
We were going through a cloud when I took this so that's why it looks all foggy.
We're in Texas!!!...
And we're bored too!
When we got to the Rental car place and picked which car we wanted me and Mommy followed Lena as far as we could then we had to find our way to the hotel that we were staying at. When we got there we went and found Jackie and her mom Marianne who were rooming with us. They gave us a room key and we went up to our room and put our stuff in there so that we didn't have to haul it around anymore. We then went and said hi to Sadie and Taylor who were down the hall from us. There moms told us to go over to the mall and get something to eat over there so we did and it ended up that everything was closing at the mall so the only thing that we could eat was drinks from Sonic so we left and went and found this Pizza place that was still open and ordered a pizza and brought it over to the hotel. After we were done with our pizza we were really tired so we went to bed.
Sunday (a.k.a Competition day)
After I woke up and had a shower and got dressed me, Mommy, and Jackie went down to breakfast and ate. The food was really good and part way through Micaela and Paiger came down and Kendall and Kenzie came down a little while later. Taylor and Sadie came down when we were almost done, but I still got to say hi and stuff. And Polina was there too! It was good to see her again. It ended up that her mom (Katia) was just a couple of rooms down from us!
When we got back to the room mommy did my hair for the meet and then I still had a little while before we had to go down to my meet. I was looking out the window and saw this:
Seriously who would name a field 'Dr. Pepper field'?!?! That's just crazy!
I then realized that I had forgotten to bring a little bag to put all of my stuff in when I went down to the meet! And I didn't really want to just carry around all of my stuff so me and Mommy went down to the meet and tried to find a bag. We also looked at leos while we were there and ended up getting me two very cute leos! I got a bag that is just the right size and so I think I'm gonna use that for all of my competitions from now on cause the other bag is just waaaaaaaay to big.
Katia came in and said hi to us before the meet and she said that she really wanted to stay, but her flight was leaving soon so she had to go. But I was really happy that I got to see her!
The meet was really good. I got a 9.275 on Beam!! Can you believe that! 9.275! I was so excited! On Floor I got a 9.125! I think that the judges on Beam and Floor were scoring kind of high. I stuck my first Vault, but fell on my second one and got a 8.775. Ilia didn't seem too happy about my Vault, but I thought it was pretty good and it was a good score so whatever. My Bars on the other hand was not good my free hip was so low I don't think it even counted as a free hip! I got an 8.00. I was think that I would place on at least Beam maybe Floor too, but nope! It was really really hard to place cause the only one our team that placed was Hannah! See this is proof that you had to get really really really high scores cause Hope got a 9.6 on Floor and she didn't place! Ya I know. And one girl got a 10.00 on Bars and another got a 10.00 on Beam. Oh well. It was a good meet anyway!
Here's me and Kayla.
After the meet Mommy, Ilia, Ruth, Sadie, and I went over to the mall cause we were going to go skating, but it ended up that there was hockey game going on so we were gonna go to the Cheesecake Factory, but then we decided to go to a place called Dave and Buster's where the whole down stairs area is an arcade with a restaurant in it! So we ate there and Ruth and Mommy gave me and Sadie some money and we went and bought a power card for each of us and one for Ilia so that we could go and play some games!! It was lots of fun!!! Me and Sadie used up 48 chips on our cards pretty fast then we got one card that had 100 on it and then we ended up getting another 100 chip one too! Ilia's card had 60 on it, but he didn't want the tickets all he wanted was to play the games! So in the ended me and Sad got 2,284 tickets!! We couldn't decided what we wanted so Ruth came and helped us and she said for us to get matching tank tops so we were going to then we decided to get five teddy bears for each of the girls in our class, but then Sadie said she would rather have a matching shirt with me! So we got the shirts!
After we left Dave and Buster's we were going back to the car and the adults took us out the completely wrong door and we had to walk (or in me and Sadie's case run) around 3/4 of the mall!!! Me and Sadie were thinking that since they were going so slow and the car was so far away we could walk back to the hotel before they got there!!! But the adults wouldn't let us. So we just kept running around the mall (outside) to get to it and every corner we would be like this should be it...nope not this one maybe the next...nope and it just kept going like that for a while. Then finally we got to the car!
When we got back to the car me and Sadie went up to our rooms and we got into our swim suits and went down to the pool. When we got down to the pool Kendall and Kenzy were there so we playing with them and did a lot of chicken fights! It was looooooooooots of fun! My mom got some pictures, but she hasn't uploaded them yet so when she does I'll put them up! When we got back to the room this is what my hair looked like when I took it out!
Monday
Mommy woke me up at 6:30. It was not fun. I finished packing and got dressed then we went down to breakfast. Again the breakfast was really good, but this time there wasn't anyone there! But that was probably because it was 7:00 in the morning. Anyway after we had breakfast we went up to our room and got our things and went on our way. I think that I fell asleep for a little while in the car, but I'm not sure. Once we got to the airport we dropped off the rental car and went to security. And surprisingly we were the first ones there, out of our friends at least. When Khyla and Kim got there Mommy gave me some money and I went with Lena and Khyla and got a snack and when we were almost back I saw someone that looked familiar over by where we were boarding and when I ran over it ended up that I was right it was KENDALL! How cool is that! So Kendall, Micaela, and Kenzy were all on the same flight as us!
When we landed in Denver I only had just enough time to run to the bathroom before we boarded the plane to Salt Lake.
I read my book for most of the plane trip home!! And guess what I almost finished it!!
And now here are some pictures I took on the flight on the way home.
Mommy and I. Sorry It's kind of blurry the plain was getting closer to the ground and it was kind of bumpy.
ME!! Don't I look happy to be home!!
Texas was fun, but I'm very happy to be home.
And to end this trip here is a picture of me and the two girls that I don't know what I would do without them in my life, Sadie and Kendall.
FRIENDS FOREVER!!!
Oh and if you don't have a lot of time you might want to read this later! Hehe.

When we got there we went and found Jackie and her mom Marianne who were rooming with us. They gave us a room key and we went up to our room and put our stuff in there so that we didn't have to haul it around anymore. We then went and said hi to Sadie and Taylor who were down the hall from us. There moms told us to go over to the mall and get something to eat over there so we did and it ended up that everything was closing at the mall so the only thing that we could eat was drinks from Sonic so we left and went and found this Pizza place that was still open and ordered a pizza and brought it over to the hotel. After we were done with our pizza we were really tired so we went to bed.
Sunday (a.k.a Competition day)
After I woke up and had a shower and got dressed me, Mommy, and Jackie went down to breakfast and ate. The food was really good and part way through Micaela and Paiger came down and Kendall and Kenzie came down a little while later. Taylor and Sadie came down when we were almost done, but I still got to say hi and stuff. And Polina was there too! It was good to see her again. It ended up that her mom (Katia) was just a couple of rooms down from us!
When we got back to the room mommy did my hair for the meet and then I still had a little while before we had to go down to my meet. I was looking out the window and saw this:
Seriously who would name a field 'Dr. Pepper field'?!?! That's just crazy!
I then realized that I had forgotten to bring a little bag to put all of my stuff in when I went down to the meet! And I didn't really want to just carry around all of my stuff so me and Mommy went down to the meet and tried to find a bag. We also looked at leos while we were there and ended up getting me two very cute leos! I got a bag that is just the right size and so I think I'm gonna use that for all of my competitions from now on cause the other bag is just waaaaaaaay to big.
Katia came in and said hi to us before the meet and she said that she really wanted to stay, but her flight was leaving soon so she had to go. But I was really happy that I got to see her!
The meet was really good. I got a 9.275 on Beam!! Can you believe that! 9.275! I was so excited! On Floor I got a 9.125! I think that the judges on Beam and Floor were scoring kind of high. I stuck my first Vault, but fell on my second one and got a 8.775. Ilia didn't seem too happy about my Vault, but I thought it was pretty good and it was a good score so whatever. My Bars on the other hand was not good my free hip was so low I don't think it even counted as a free hip! I got an 8.00. I was think that I would place on at least Beam maybe Floor too, but nope! It was really really hard to place cause the only one our team that placed was Hannah! See this is proof that you had to get really really really high scores cause Hope got a 9.6 on Floor and she didn't place! Ya I know. And one girl got a 10.00 on Bars and another got a 10.00 on Beam. Oh well. It was a good meet anyway!
Here's me and Kayla.
After the meet Mommy, Ilia, Ruth, Sadie, and I went over to the mall cause we were going to go skating, but it ended up that there was hockey game going on so we were gonna go to the Cheesecake Factory, but then we decided to go to a place called Dave and Buster's where the whole down stairs area is an arcade with a restaurant in it! So we ate there and Ruth and Mommy gave me and Sadie some money and we went and bought a power card for each of us and one for Ilia so that we could go and play some games!! It was lots of fun!!! Me and Sadie used up 48 chips on our cards pretty fast then we got one card that had 100 on it and then we ended up getting another 100 chip one too! Ilia's card had 60 on it, but he didn't want the tickets all he wanted was to play the games! So in the ended me and Sad got 2,284 tickets!! We couldn't decided what we wanted so Ruth came and helped us and she said for us to get matching tank tops so we were going to then we decided to get five teddy bears for each of the girls in our class, but then Sadie said she would rather have a matching shirt with me! So we got the shirts!
After we left Dave and Buster's we were going back to the car and the adults took us out the completely wrong door and we had to walk (or in me and Sadie's case run) around 3/4 of the mall!!! Me and Sadie were thinking that since they were going so slow and the car was so far away we could walk back to the hotel before they got there!!! But the adults wouldn't let us. So we just kept running around the mall (outside) to get to it and every corner we would be like this should be it...nope not this one maybe the next...nope and it just kept going like that for a while. Then finally we got to the car!
When we got back to the car me and Sadie went up to our rooms and we got into our swim suits and went down to the pool. When we got down to the pool Kendall and Kenzy were there so we playing with them and did a lot of chicken fights! It was looooooooooots of fun! My mom got some pictures, but she hasn't uploaded them yet so when she does I'll put them up! When we got back to the room this is what my hair looked like when I took it out!
Monday
Mommy woke me up at 6:30. It was not fun. I finished packing and got dressed then we went down to breakfast. Again the breakfast was really good, but this time there wasn't anyone there! But that was probably because it was 7:00 in the morning. Anyway after we had breakfast we went up to our room and got our things and went on our way. I think that I fell asleep for a little while in the car, but I'm not sure. Once we got to the airport we dropped off the rental car and went to security. And surprisingly we were the first ones there, out of our friends at least. When Khyla and Kim got there Mommy gave me some money and I went with Lena and Khyla and got a snack and when we were almost back I saw someone that looked familiar over by where we were boarding and when I ran over it ended up that I was right it was KENDALL! How cool is that! So Kendall, Micaela, and Kenzy were all on the same flight as us!
When we landed in Denver I only had just enough time to run to the bathroom before we boarded the plane to Salt Lake.
I read my book for most of the plane trip home!! And guess what I almost finished it!!
And now here are some pictures I took on the flight on the way home.
Mommy and I. Sorry It's kind of blurry the plain was getting closer to the ground and it was kind of bumpy.
ME!! Don't I look happy to be home!!
Texas was fun, but I'm very happy to be home.
And to end this trip here is a picture of me and the two girls that I don't know what I would do without them in my life, Sadie and Kendall.
FRIENDS FOREVER!!!

Easy day......kind of
I had stupid old Russian today and when I got there Ilia hadn't gotten there yet so me and Khyla went and hid on the gym side. We did practice Russian, but we hid and hoped that Ilia had forgotten about class. But that didn't happen. Class was shall we say OK. I didn't know everything, but I did know some. ~Sigh~
When it was time to do gym I went over and started stretching. After we did conditioning Ilia sent us to floor to do dance routines. After a little while of warming up leaps and such we did them and then went and did ballet. We haven't done ballet in forever! It was fun cause we work hard, but we can talk and spend time a little more quality time together when we do it. It was over pretty was and then we were on bars and I had to do my first and second pass five times and then when me and Sadie went over to ask Ilia what to do he said 'Do more.' I was pretty bored with doing the same thing after a while so I asked Ilia how many more we should do and he looked at his watch and said go to Beam. It was pretty boring we had to do everything that was in our routine about five times.
Now I'm going to go sit down and read a book and watch a little TV with Daddy.
Night!

~sigh~
I called Sammie at 9:30 and her sister answered so I asked Mary if she and Sammie could come over. Mary said they could at like 12:00ish. So I was like OK. I called at 12:00 and they said they'd be over at 12:30 I guess 12:30 really means we'll be over at 1:10. We didn't really do very much, but it was still fun. They left at 3:15, but had to come back cause they forgot there DS.
After that I sat down and read my book. I did that for a while too.
It was a boring day.

After that I sat down and read my book. I did that for a while too. After dinner we watched a movie. It was pretty good, I don't remember the name, but it was good. Hunter and Duncan didn't really like it, actually let me refraze that Duncan didn't really like it, Hunter hated it!
Tomorrows fast Sunday so this might not happen.

Tired girl
OK, I'm really tired so I'm going to write really quickly and then go to bed.
Gym was...good. Taylor was there. After conditioning we did floor and then I did floor bar for a little while. it was then time for bars. I did the same thing as yesterday. At just after 6:00 Ilia called me over and told me to do a couple more half pirouettes and to then stretch. So I guess that mommy asked Ilia if she could pick me up early and he said yes, bu didn't tell me. Sadie wasn't very happy that I was leaving early, but she wasn't on bars with me for like a month so she can't say anything!!!
Mommy took me and the boys to Bana's and we had dinner and then after daddy was finished with Eclipse we went up to mommy's house and got Breaking Dawn for him and Hunter's coat cause he is a dork and forgot it at mommy's. How he did this I don't know cause seriously how can you forget your coat in below freezing temperatures!
Well I'm going to bed now cause I'm really tired so night!

Power out
I didn't get to write last night because every time that I would try to get on here the power would go out! So I'm just going to write about yesterday now and hopefully the power wont go out.
We had really good lessons at church and I had a lot of fun, so that's good. During sacrament I could see through the curtains and I realized that it was snowing! It didn't really stop till early this morning. It came down with little tiny flakes, but it didn't really stop.
At 4:15 we headed over to Duncan's Arrow of Light award ceremony. Duncan did really well on his little re telling of an activity that the scouts did and then afterward there was refreshments and Duncan and William got a lot of cookies! (Well, manly Will.)
After that my night was pretty boring. I just sat around and read either my book or Duncan's. But it was lots of fun!
