Day #1
I was way busy last week so I never got a chance to get on and say that I was going on vacation, but its OK I'll just say it now and tell you that right now I am in Paradox Colorado. Dad, Hunter, Duncan, Bana, Aunt Carla, Uncle Aaron and I all are. We are spending the week down here and at first we didn't think that we had internet but when we got here it ended up that we do so I'm going to write on here as much as possible! Now I'm just going to write about yesterday from what I put in my diary so here goes!
"I'm on my trip with Dad, Hunter, Duncan, Bana, Carla, and Aaron. When got here this afternoon we brought all our stuff in and then sat around for a little. After a while Aaron, Hunter, and Duncan went on a hike and Dad, Bana, Carla, and I stayed at the cabin we're at. And while they were gone I got out Dad's camera and learned how to use it. In the time they were gone I took over 120 pictures of just the yard! When they got back the boys and I took even more pictures! We had dinner after that. It was soooo good! Yummy yummy tacos! When everyone was done with eating and we were done cleaning we went into the backyard and played with the nerf ball for awhile and then all sat down and played Scrabble! Dad and I were on a team our name was "Daddy Daughter". Carla and Duncan's team name was "The Lulus". And Hunter and Aaron were "The Sombreros"."
In the end Carla and Duncan won but it was still a really fun game!! Since its Mother's Day and we aren't with Mom the boys and I made her a video for her present. On Thursday night we went through ALL of Bana's pictures from when the boys and I were younger and we took the ones we liked and in the morning I scanned them all on to the computer with Nama's scanner. Right when I got on the computer to start the video Mom woke up. Just my luck. Hunter and I sent her upstairs and for an hour and a half Duncan sat up there with her and did some Grammar and watched her sort the mound of laundry, in the kitchen. Hunter and I spent that whole time fixing pictures putting them to the video and making the pictures match up with the song. In the end I think that it turned out very good. We emailed it to Mom and had her look at it. When we got it working she sat through the whole thing and cried. If you want to watch the video go here to my Mom's blog and watch and see what she says. I'll write about today later maybe tomorrow. I'll write in my diary so that I don't forget anything I promise! I may even upload some of the millions of pictures! :D
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!

~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!!!

Egg
My Dad gave my brothers and I a chocolate egg for Easter this year. Mine was caramel. Caramel is my favorite and even though I'm not supposed to eat it with braces I eat it anyway and I love it!! I thought that the egg was really cute and I wouldn't start to eat it until we took a picture so here it is.
Sorry that it's not very good we took it on my Dad's phone!! Isn't it cute though!! :D
HAPPY EASTER!!!

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
McKenna 8.925 8.80 9.25 7.90 34.875

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:
Vault Bars Beam Floor AA
Drew (me!!) 8.75 8.60 7.95 9.20 34.50

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.

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!!!!

It all started with a handstand...
After conditioning I did a handstand when Taylor walked over so she decided to do a handstand contest and after that it ended up that our whole class was doing it!!! And then when we just kept on doing it Ilia said that we had five more minutes to play and then we had to do Floor. We all wanted to play the back tuck game, but Hailee couldn't do back tucks with her knee so she did back walkovers instead. Since I was right next to Hailee and it's kind of hard to fall on a back walkover and I was having a hard time sticking my back tucks, I kind of lost really fast. In the end it was just Sadie and Hailee. Hailee said that since she didn't really count that Sadie was the winner!!
On Floor I did doubles on to the mat. I didn't ever make it all the way around, but I'm getting closer!!! I think that I just need to twist a little bit faster and then maybe I'll have it. Ilia sent us to ballet after that cause we still had another 40 minutes before Bars and we were done with Floor. Ballet was like usual. Boring. When we were done with ballet we went to Bars. I did the same thing that I have been doing all week. Parts of routines. My half pirouettes weren't very good today. But my free hips were actually good!! Now really fast about Taylor. She decided that she wanted to try her gienger on the normal bar today and guess what!?! SHE CAUGHT IT!!!! YAY!!! Go Tay! When we went to Beam I asked Ilia if I could do back handspring aerials on to a mat. He said I could, but that instead of back handspring aerial to do just plain old aerial on to a mat. At first I kept on touching my head, but when I showed Ilia he told me what to do and it was a little bit easier after that. Now to tell of Taylor's second new skill of the day. She has been working on front tucks on the low Beam lately and I guess she felt like they were good today so she asked Ilia if she could do it on the high Beam and he was fine with it so...SHE DID IT!!! Again, GO TAY!!!
When me and Daddy got to Bana's house I got some dinner (which Hunter made by the way.) It was really really good. Yummy spaghetti. I sat and watched some TV with everyone when I was done eating and now that we're home I'm sitting here watching Nim's Island. I really like that movie, but all of my friends that have seen it seem not to like it. Oh well, whatever! Now for Nim's Island.

The Weekend
I don't really feel like putting what I did on Friday at gym, but I'll put everything after that.
After Mommy took me home from gym on Friday she put my hair up and then Daddy came and picked me and the boys up and we went up to the Utah vs. Florida meet. It was Senior night at the U. It was Kristina Baskett and Nina Kim's last time competing in the Huntsman Center. They did AMAZING!!! I'm really going to miss watching those two at the meets. ~sigh~ After the meet we started the drive up to Logan and at about 9:45 I lay my seat back and tried to sleep. I didn't expect to fall asleep, but apparently I did and I fell asleep and woke up when the same song was on so I didn't even think I had and then I looked at the clock and it said that it was an hour later than I thought it was. Oh well. When we got to our hotel I got in my PJs and went to bed. Sleep felt so good.
When I woke up in the morning I looked at my watch and it said 7:57 which meant that my meet started in three minutes. I got dressed as fast as possible and Daddy drove me up to the meet. He dropped me off and then went back to get the boys and check out of the hotel. I ran inside and started open stretch with my friends. I was really tired. But I woke up before we had to do anything dangerous so that's good. Floor was our first event and I did a good routine, but I fell on my front tuck front tuck. That's OK though I don't really mind. My score was the same as San Jose, 8.2. I watched Sadie and then I had to run to the bathroom. Natasha's girls went first on Vault so me and Sadie sat down and rapped ourselves in Micaela's blanket cause it was cooooold! When it was finally our turn we warmed up pretty fast and then competed. I wanted to go first, but Ilia said that he wanted Sadie to because apparently my Vaults are better than hers. Whatever. Sadie stuck them which she has been having a hard time with and guess what!?! She got a 9.125!! Go Sadie!! I stuck both of mine as well and was given a 9.225! Bars was the same as usual. Pretty bad, but I'm working on it so don't worry soon I won't be getting these scores. I got a 7.75. On Beam I felt ready for my routine I had done a good warm up and I wasn't worried at all. I fell on my series because even though I was totally straight and everyone thought I was going to stick it my hand slipped and I could have saved it, but my ankle kind of gave out on me. Ah the full turn well lets see I'm not really sure what happened there, but I fell on that and I'm thinking that I didn't turn all of the way so ya. I got a 7.8. ~shrug~ We went to awards after we were all done and guess what I only got one medal, but it was a good one. 1st on Vault!! Oh ya baby!! We got 1st place in the team awards so that was also very exciting!!
I stayed and watched the Level 9s and then Mommy took me back to Daddy's house. Kendall did absolutely amazing! She got two 9s and her all around was a 35.05! Go Kendall!!! Taylor did just as good as she always does so YAY! Her all around was 35.2. Kendall got 4th on Beam!!! OK I guess that I'll stop talking about what my friends did and move on.
When I got to Daddy's house we sat around for a little while and then we all went to the store to get to some stuff for dinner and breakfast for in the morning. When we got back from the store Daddy made us some sandwiches and then we sat down and watch Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Oh I love that movie! After that I went to bed.

Vault - 9.225 - 1st Place

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!!!

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Whatcha Gonna Do Do!*
*Do not ask, cause even I don't know.
On Beam we did two routines then we went to Floor and I did some tumbling onto the mats. My fulls were kind of weird today, but my full and a halfs were pretty good! After I was done with those I did front handspring layout. I haven't done them in forever, but they were actually good! So yay!!! We went to Bars after that and I did two routines then worked on half pirouettes. We got done early today cause we all had to go places.
Mommy took me and Kim to the Utah Gymnastics meet tonight so that was lots of fun! Plus on our way out there we went to one of our old friends house and picked up some girl scout cookies! Yummy! The meet was really good! The Utes scored a 197.350 and ASU scored 194.350! AWESOME!!
GO UTES!!!!!

OK OK!
OK so I can't get my camera to upload the pictures I took and I haven't had a chance to have my mom try to figure it out so since I know you are probably dying I will give you the scores, but I'm going to put what we did over the weekend cause the more I think about the more I realize that we didn't do anything so if you want to know what we sort of did then go here to see what my mom wrote about what we did!
After standing around forever because the girl in front of me couldn't get her music to start and the judges finally decided that they wanted to watch me I did my Floor routine and got a 8.2. On Vault I fell back on my first one because Ilia said that if I started to go backwards to take steps...so I did it just that I kept going so the five eight inchers that were stacked up a little ways back from the Vault stopped, but then I had to concentrate so that I would stop laughing. I stuck my second one and got an 8.9 and Ilia said that it was one of the best Vaults hes ever seen me do! YAY! On Bars it wasn't my best routine so I only got a 7.45, but oh well! Then after we sat around for an hour (no joke, it was an hour)we warmed up Beam and I got a 8.05.
So Floor: 8.2. Vault: 8.9 Bars: 7.45. Beam: 8.05. I got 9th place on Floor. 4th on Vault!!! YAY!!! 11th on Bars (out of twelve girls.) 8th on Beam. Then 8th on All Around.
I will post the pictures that I took when I can finally get them to upload.

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!

GYM SLEEPOVER!!!!!
Gym was really boring. We did conditioning for an hour. Then we went to beam. Since it was comp day we had to stick one routine and I stuck my first one!!! It was actually pretty easy, but then I had to go and do round off layouts. Not fun. After a little while Sadie came over and did them with me so that made it less boring, but it was still boring. After beam we went to bars and Ilia told me and Sad to do five sets of good giants then we had to do half pirouettes, but giants took forever so we only got to do a couple of half pirouettes. We then went to floor and had to do a routine. I fell on my first one so I had to do another one, but that time I stuck it! While Kendall and Taylor went to vault me and Sadie tried to do front fulls on the tramp, it didn't work out so well. When Taylor was done with vault she came over and told us to go to vault, but we only had ten minutes left so when we went over to the vault Ilia told us to stretch, Taylor and Kendall weren't very happy, at all.
After gym we went over to the cheer side we were gonna get some snacks, but right before we were going to pay Natasha came over and talked and talked and talked with Colleen for a long time then she finally left and we paid for our stuff and we had to run and get dressed cause we only had 20 minutes to get back to Sadie's house, get her clothes, get Pepper, and then go and pick Duncan up from dance in Centerville! Well we got Sadie's clothes and Pepper, but we were 10 minutes late picking Duncan up.
Now Sadie is being very unhappy so shes making me let her tell you what we did when we got home!
Sadie:
hello well me and drew had so much fun. we made up dances to a few songs and recorded it on the camera. we had stayed up till 12:05 than we tried to go to bed and we were talking till 12:30 and than we tried to fall asleep. duncan kept hitting the wall and it was so annoying. kujgjkgugtukghutuigyugjgyiutgercghfdhtg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OK it's Drew again and I'm going to give my version of the story now. So when we got home Pepper was really nervous, but after a little while of running around the house and investigating she was getting better, she was still nervous, but not nearly as much as before. After we had dinner we went down into my room and by then it was 10:00 and we were going to go to bed, but then we started making videos of us being really silly. Then at 10:30 we put Pepper to bed and we were going to go to bed for real, well that didn't happen. We started making videos of us dancing to Taylor Swift songs! We did a dance to You Belong With Me and Love Story they were really dorky, but it was fun! After that we listened to some songs then got in bed and "tried" to go to fall asleep. Ya well like Sadie said it was just after 12:00 and then we were talking for a while so when we finally stopped talking it was like 12:30.
We woke up at 5:30 and got ready for gym and when we got there Ilia wasn't there yet so we waited for a little while and then when he got there we went inside and started stretching. After a little while Mommy took Pepper out to the car so that she could "rest". Then after that we had to do conditioning and then we did ten casts on bars. We did beam leaps next and it was kind of hard at 7:00 in the morning! Sadly after that Ilia told us to do round off layouts with the pads. Boo hoo! Well they weren't so bad I guess. Finally 7:45 came and we were done and got to go home! And now me and Sad are going to go and finish my homework!

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.
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:

Happy Birthday!!
We had been planning on having Sadie come over tonight and sleepover, but Ruth wants her to go to morning workout since tomorrow is her last day before they leave for WOGA so we're going to do it next Wednesday! I guess I can wait till then. Oh ya and before I forget today is Duncan's birthday so HAPPY 11th BIRTHDAY DUNCAN!!!!
Beam was first and since it was competition day we had to do one routine stuck. In warm up I stuck my series perfectly like seriously perfectly no wobbles nothing! Then in my routine I fell, but I stuck the next one so that was good. We then went to Bars and I made my first routine and then I had to work on free hips. Next was Floor and in my routine I went for my full and a half then my front tuck front tuck and Ilia told me to stop and to come over by him. He told me that my full and a half was low and so I had to do full first pass and layout last. Then he told me that my front tuck front tuck was crappy and that it looked like I was crawling on the floor! How rude! So I went for my routine like that and then he told me that I can't rebound after my layout cause its a deduction. Well, Ilia I know that, but when you're used to doing things way harder it's kind of hard! After Kendall and Taylor were done with Vault me and Sadie went and we had to stick two IN A ROW!!! It was hard, but I made it.
After gym Mommy took me over to Lorill's house and I had hot chocolate with everyone cause I was to late to go sledding with them. Oh well the hot chocolate was good and very very very hot! Ouch! Hehe.
