Day #6
I had lots of fun yesterday! In the morning Hunter, Dad, and I woke up at 7:00 and headed to the canyon to take some pictures! After we got out of the canyon we kept going till we got to Naturita and got gas, drinks, and some ice. Next we went back through the canyon. All I can think to say is: Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. When we got home we had breakfast and then we uploaded the pics. I read my book for a while. Then Duncan and I watched some tv on Dad's computer. Dad was asleep so I lay down with him and fell asleep too. When I woke up Dad made me a sandwich. So I ate lunch then Dad, Aaron, and I went on a drive. We went down this street and there is no words to explain how amazing it was down in that canyon. there was an , mines, hunting cabins, a place that looked like castle ruins, a rickety bridge that led to a big mine. There was just so much! We left the house at about 4:45 and we didn't get back till 7:30 it was that amazing! We had home made pizza for dinner. Yum yum! I got out the movie August Rush and we watched that. I've seen it a million times but it always makes me want to cry. Love that movie!!

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!!!!

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!!

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.

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!!!!!

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!!

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

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

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

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!

Last day
Poor Mommy got sick earlier and she couldn't take me and the boys to all of our things so she called Bana and asked her if she could take me to Russian and gym. So I was late to Russian, but I still got there. Russian class wasn't too bad, but I've deciding that I'm going to work harder on Russian this week! And it might help that me, Khyla, and Kim are all on the same flight to and from WOGA so hopefully me and Khy can work on some Russian!
After we did conditioning we went to Floor first and I was kind of nervous for my front tuck front tuck cause for some reason I've been having a hard time with that, but it was OK today and I stuck it. After Floor we were supposed to go to Vault, but it wasn't our time yet and so we had 15 minutes to do something and so Ilia sent us to Beam. I didn't stick my first three routines, but then finally I stuck it and went to Vault. Vault was good I stuck it really fast and then I called Daddy and told him that I would be done early. I went for my first Bar routine and then Ilia had me and Sadie to half pirouettes. About 15 minutes later we were done and daddy took me to Bana's house.
When we got to Bana's Daddy gave Duncan his b-day present and then we had dinner and watched some TV. It was lots of fun just to sit and talk with everyone. When we got home Daddy gave me a little pink and white stuffed puppy that is holding a bone in its mouth that says 'Sweet' on it! I really like it! I named it 'Boo'. so now me and Boo are going to go to bed!

2 1/2 hours to do what normally happens in 4!
I had to leave gym early today because we had more tickets to the Symphony and instead of starting at 8:00 it started at 7:00. I didn't think that I'd get through all of the events, but Ilia did. We did Vault first which didn't take long at all so I still had like an hour an a half to do the other events. We then went to Floor and I stuck my full and a half in warm up, but then when I tried to do it in my routine I messed up twice and Ilia didn't want me to try again (probably cause I had to leave soon) so he had me do full first pass and layout last pass. I then went to Bars while everyone else finished up Floor. By the time my friends were on Bars I had to do one more half pirouette and then I was ready. I stuff my routine easily and Ilia then told me to go and ask Andrea if I cold borrow one of the Beams for a couple of minutes so that I could do one routine. At that time I had 15 minutes to warm up on the Floor then warm up on the Beam and show Ilia a routine. I warmed up on the Floor for five minutes then on the Beam for five more and then I went for my routine and I stuck it!!! Oh yeah! I then hurried and changed and Daddy picked me up.
We really fast got a snack so that we wouldn't die of hunger and then we went to the Symphony tonight's performance was "Cho's Anatomy" it was lots of fun! I liked this one almost as much as the "Four Seasons". In the first half David Cho did a lesson on Beethoven's Symphony No. 3 in E-flat Major, op. 55 "Eroica". It was very interesting and after the intermission they did the music with no stops and it was lots easier for me to stay awake when I was listening and trying to here the things that he had talked about. And on a side note when we got into Abravanel Hall we were walking in over to go and find our seats when I saw a boy that looked familiar and I turned to Duncan and said "Isn't that Henry?" (so you know Henry was the D cast Fritz in the Nutcracker this last year and Duncan was very good friends with him) and looked over and at the exact same time Duncan and Henry said "Oh HI!" And then it ended up that he was sitting two rows behind us so I think Duncan was happy that he got to see one of his friends.
Well, tomorrow is Duncan's Birthday and I'm getting him...oh wait sorry I can't tell he might read this!! Haha!

Um...ya
We went to MOMS Club this morning. It was lots of fun! Their weren't very many kids, but that was good cause the room we were was pretty small.
After we got home did our homework and had lunch mommy, me, and Duncan went to the gym. It was a good day, I guess. I did dance routines on beam then we went to bars and I got to do kip casts and half pirouettes, like always. After that I had to go cause normally I miss young womans, but tonight we were going to the Draper Temple open house and I really wanted to go!
Trisha picked me up at 7:00 and me, Trisha, Elise, Sammie, and Lauren headed down to where we had to meet. We had a little detour with getting pulled over, but we made it and everything worked out.
I don't know what to say about the inside of the temple. It was...amazing. I think that if I tried to put in words how it was I'd get it completely wrong so just trust me on this, it was beautiful, spiritual, and just all out and amazing experience.
Now I have to remember to take Mamma Mia! down to Lauren's house tomorrow cause she is insane and hasn't seen it yet!!

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!
