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 #5

I think that yesterday was the most fun I've had this while trip! The beginning was kind of boring cause we drove around looking for a place to set up camp for forever! Of course it took two and a half hours to find, but it was worth it! There was a hill that had tons and tons of rocks so after the boys and I were done eating we went exploring. Pretty soon Dad, Aaron, and Carla went for a drive and left Bana with us. It took them about two and a half hours to go and come back in which time the boys and I created our own world. We named everything. Rocks, land, caves, passages. Everything. In my diary I drew a pretty crappy map of it but you never know maybe it makes sense. When the others got back we loaded up and went home. We explained to Dad what we were doing and he said that we'd made our own Terabithia like in the book. And it's totally true we did exactly that! We had hamburgers for dinner (well I did). then we just kind of sat around after that. Watched a movie instead of playing a game but it wasn't a very good movie so I'm not going to say anything about it.

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!!

Total Spring Break

Well as you can see it has ended up that instead of it just being my spring break it is also blog spring break cause I have been bad and haven't wrote all week! But I'll write now so it's OK. I'll give you a really short sum of what I've done all week.

So Monday I had a after gym me, Sadie, and Kendall all had a sleep over. It was the most fun I've had in awhile. I love those girls!!! We did some really sill, stupid, and slightly weird things, but it was sooooooo much fun!!! Tuesday after gym it took awhile to get home cause Mom and I went and got some candy for Easter and then we went and took pictures , but I didn't really get to do very much when we got home cause I only had time to eat and then start to do my homework. Lets just say this, I didn't finish my homework. Bana came and picked me and the boys up. When I got to her house she gave me a Easter dress!! It is soooooo cute!!! When Dad got there we had dinner and then Bana took me shopping to look for shoes and another Easter dress!! We didn't find another dress, but we did find these waaaaay cute flip flops! On Wednesday I went to Young Women and we served the widows. It was lots of fun. I love gong to Young Women especially since I don't normally get too! On Thursday I made a card for Serin. It turned out really good!! Tonight we went to the movie "Push" with Daddy and now I have to go take a shower so that I'm not a mess tomorrow at the Easter party!! Again SORRY!! I WANT TO SEE THE HANNAH MONTANA MOVIE!!!

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

Brittany 8.725 9.00 9.05 8.975 35.70


3/28

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:

3/29


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!!!

Ready for State Meet!!!

3/27/09

I wrote these posts while I was in St. George, but I couldn’t upload them because we didn’t have internet access.

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!!!!

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.

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!

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.


Overview of the meet.

Vault - 9.225 - 1st Place
Bars - 7.75
Beam - 7.8
Floor - 8.2
All Around - 32.975

Movie Sunday

So we watched a movie tonight. It was really really good. It's called The Ultimate Gift. And if you haven't seen it yet then I highly recommend it. So um yeah go watch it!!!


OH and while I'm remembering here is some quotes that me and Sadie typed up. There all by Taylor Swift except the last one was Sadie.


With you, I'd dance in a storm in my best dress. - Fearless

In your life you'll do things greater than dating the boy on the football team.
- Fifteen

This love is difficult, but it's real. - Love Story

All those other girls, well they're beautiful...but would they write a song for you? - Hey Stephen

She wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts. She's ceer catain and I'm on the bleachers. - You Belong With Me

I can't breathe without you...but I have to. - Breathe

Breathe

Tell Me Why

Forever and Always

You can tell me that you're sorry, but I don't believe you, baby, like I did before. You're not sorry. - You're Not Sorry

They might be bigger, but we're faster and never scared. - Change

You're so in love that you act insane...that's the way I loved you.
- The Way I Loved You

This album is called "FEARLESS." And I guess I'd like to clarify why we chose that as the title. To me, "FEARLESS" is not the absence of fear. It's not being completely unafraid. To me, FEARLESS is having fears. FEARLESS is having doubts. Lots of Them. To me, FEARLESS is living in spite of those things that scare yo to death. FEARLESS is falling madly in love again, even though you've been hurt before. FEARLESS is walking into your freshmen year of high school at fifteen. FEARLESS is getting back up and fighting for what you want over and over again...even though every time you've tried before, you've lost. It's FEARLESS to have faith that someday things will change. FEARLESS is having the courage to say goodbye to someone who only hurts you, even if you can't breathe without them. I think it's FEARLESS to fall for your best friends, even though he's in love with someone else. And when someone apologizes to you enough times for things they'll never stop doing, I think it's FEARLESS to stop believing them. It's FEARLESS to say "You're Not Sorry", and walk away. I think loving someone despite what people think is FEARLESS I think allowing yourself to cry on the bathroom floor is FEARLESS. Letting go is FEARLESS. Then, moving on and being alright...that's FEARLESS too. But no matter what love throws at you, you have to believe in it. You have to believe in love stories and prince charmings and happily ever after. That's why I write these songs. Because I think love is FEARLESS.


If you want it, it's not going to change unless you believe.

So there is my quotes for the day. Um yeah.

Morning workout! Wow for real!

We haven't had morning workout in forever! It felt kind of weird.

After we did conditioning Brynnlee (yeah I know I'll ask her) had us do 10 of each of our leaps, jumps, and turns for Beam and then we did things on the Floor for Beam. Like I did punch front tuck and side aerials. My landings weren't the best, but they were pretty good! After we did those we did more of the new skills and stuff on the Beam and Taylor's headstand still amazes me. We then went to Bars and after we did casts we had to do 10 half pirouettes then I had to do 10 free hips. My half pirouettes are getting better and my free hips were OK, but it was a little harder today cause I'm getting a rip and free hips pull on the skin and it kills!!! OUCHIE!
After Bars we went to Floor and did leaps then did two dance routines. We were done after that so we just went and stretched.

When I got home I didn't really do anything. It was a pretty boring day. The most I did was sit on the couch then go out side and help Mommy spray paint the filing cabinets she got and then we watched a movie a little while later. So like I said, boring.

Lots of routines!

OK so I didn't ask Brynnlee how to spell it yet, but really I promise I will...eventually. But anyway when I got to gym Brynnlee told us that we were doing routines today and that for Beam and Bars we would do this deal where if we stuck our first routine we only had to do three more routines stuck, but after the first one if we fell it just didn't count and we'd have to do another routine, but if you didn't stick your first routine then you had to do five more stuck that same way. Well after conditioning me and Sadie went to Beam first while Taylor and Kendall went to Vault and guess what...I stuck my first one! Than I fell on my second, but it's OK cause I stuck the next three after that! So I got done with that pretty fast and then I got to do full turns! Oh what fun. When everyone was done with Beam we went to floor and did two routines, but unlike Ilia we did it where if you fell you just kept going. Ilia NEVER I repeat NEVER lets us keep going if we fall on Floor! He does on other events, but not Floor so that was nice to know, but I didn't need to worry about it cause I stuck both routines. I had to do front tuck front tucks after my routines cause they weren't very good, but there getting better again! After we did leaps for a little while we went Bars and did the same deal as Beam. I stuck my first one and then the next three after that so I just had to work on half pirouettes and free hips after that, but Sadie and Kendall were both having a hard time with their routines and hadn't made any so they were crying then Taylor was crying cause she couldn't make her last routine. So after a little while Brynnlee called all of us over to talk to her and she talked to us and she said stuff like that she knows how bad it sucks when you can't make that stupid half pirouette for the tenth time and how you get so frustrated, but that instead of crying you have to take that frustration and turn it into energy cause crying takes away 30% of your energy. She then told us that we were all going to make at least two routines in the next 10 minutes without crying, but then she told me to just do what I was doing. So my friends did there routines and we were happy, for the most part at least. We still had a half hour left so me and Sadie went to Vault. We had to stick five Vaults and I only fell on one! After I was done with those five I was free to go with my dad to see Twilight for the fourth time! Yippee!


Me and Daddy had been planning on going to Olive Garden, but there was a long line to be seated so we went to Panda Express. The food was really good and I got to sit and talk with Daddy for a little while, but then it was time to go to the movie! When we got over to the theater and we were inline to buy our tickets I turned around and it turns out that one of the ladies that works at the orthodontist office that I go to was also going to see Twilight tonight! Ah what a small world it is. Anyway when we got in the theater it was very long till the movie started and I liked it about as much as I think I can and I'm starting to think that when the movie comes out on DVD I need to get it so that I can confirm things that I didn't notice the first couple of times I saw it. After the movie Daddy drove me home and I'm very happy to say that on our way we could see the U on the side of the mountain flashing red then white which means Utah won the gymnastics meet! Yay!

Time goes by fast when you're hoping someone will come over!

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. 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.

Crazy day

I called the Tyler's on the way to gym cause they had been wondering if I could babysit. No one answered the first time I called, but when I called again a couple minutes later they did pick up and they said that I could come over at one.

Same boring day at gym. Conditioning. Bars. Floor bar. And more floor bar. But at least this time I had Kendall with me on floor bar. Then I was on my way to the
Tyler's. I was really excited, there kids are so cute!

When I got there the adventure started. Zach had been put to sleep so that worked and me, Ethan, and Brooklyn went and watched a movie. When I went up to see if Zach was awake I found he was and he had slept on top of his bottle and gotten Ethan's bed all wet. But when I tried to get him changed he wouldn't let me. He would run away or cry his eyes out if I tried to keep him down. After about a half hour I gave up and helped the others get a snack. While I was making Ethan's he cut himself on end of the plastic rap that is supposed to cut the plastic rap not fingers. I got him fixed up and then kept on trying with Zach I finally got all his clothes off, but then I couldn't get him to let me change his diaper. After a while I held him down and had Brookie talk to him so he would cooperate and it worked cause after I got his diaper changed and got him dressed he was the happiest little kid! At one point when they were playing in this little tent Zach fell onto Brooklyn cause he was tired and when we got him off of her she had a cut by her eye brow. So now Brookie has a band aid on her eye brow. When Liz and Jared got back Liz took me home and daddy came and picked me up.

Daddy took me and the boys to see Twilight. For the third time I thought that it was really good even if the more times I see it the more I like some parts and dislike others. But it was a family thing so it was fun. And now I'm really tired and I think I'm going to go to bed.

Can't think of a title!

Russian class got canceled today so we got an extra hour of time to do things which was really nice. I just wish that we didn't have it tomorrow. Oh well.
My ankle was really hurting this morning. I had some pain killer and it didn't hurt as much. I just wish that it would stop hurting at all! It's so annoying when you can't walk normally down the stairs!! Ugh!

When we got to gym we were a little late and I thought all my friends (well, Taylor and Kendall) would be out on the floor stretching, but no there wasn't anyone! I asked Ilia where everyone was and he said that Kendall was going to be late and since Taylor and her carpool she would be there same time as Kendall, Sadie is sick, and obviously Hailee can't come with her knee. So I got to do conditioning by myself, but then Taylor and Kendall got there. I got to do a whole bunch of floor bar again. Then we went to bars and I got to do kip casts, again.

Mommy picked me up at 6:10 and she said we had to hurry cause we had to hurry down to Bana's house cause daddy was going to take us to see Twilight. When we started on our way to the movie it ended up that there was a huge traffic jam so we didn't get to go to the movie, but daddy said that we will go this weekend. And since we didn't go to the movie he took us to dinner at IHOP. The food was really good and I had fun sitting and talking with the boys and daddy. Now I'm sitting here watching TV with daddy, well I'm watching some of it and he is reading New Moon.

On the way home

We went to the buffet this morning it was really good. After we had our breakfast and got everything packed and ready to go we were on our way home. It felt a lot longer than the drive down, but we got to watch Another Cinderella Story, Hairspray, and Stardust. I love those movies. Especially Stardust. I also got to read a little of my book Fablehaven. When we got home I came in and fell asleep on the couch and I'm really tired now so I'm going to bed. Good Night!

Competition day

We woke up and were thinking about going with Traci and Ruth to the Paris Cafe for breakfast, but those plans didn't work out so well. Kendall and Micaela went to Einstein Bagels and me and mommy just went to the hotel buffet. It was really good.
After we ate we did my hair up for the competition and waited for it to be time for the meet.

We did floor first, again. I almost fell on my second pass, but I'm not sure if the judges counted it as a fall on or not. Oh well I got an 8.5 though. Vault was really good I stuck both of them easy and I got a 9.00! Bars was a little bit harder and I stopped after my half pirouette. I got a 8.35 the exact same as last week. And then it was time for beam. We had to wait for a while before we could warm up cause there was a line. I was ready for my routine and I wasn't worried at all cause I only had to get a little over an 8.1 and I'd have my score. I stuck my routine and then it was my dismount. I went crooked and landed with my foot halfway on the mat and half off. I sprained my ankle and rolled on to the concrete and now I have a bruise on my hand. It hurt so bad! It still hurts really bad. This lady came over and looked at it and told me it was sprained and to ice it and not do very much on it for a while. Mommy carried me over to the awards and Kendall sat on the chair next to me and put my foot on her lap and iced it. The good news is that I got my score! I also got 4th place on vault, but since I couldn't go up and get the award Abby (sweet sweet Abby) went up and got it for me! Our team got 5th place and I hobbled up to the stands for that since it was team. My friends let me take it home so that was nice.

After I sat in Sadie's room with my friends for a couple of hours we got to go bowling well I guess they got to go bowling. I got to sit there and watch them and have them ignore me. It wasn't fun. I think each of them said maybe a few words to me and that's it. And then they all just left when they were done I was sitting there with my eyes closed listening to my MP3 player and they all just walked off up to Sadie's room not a Drew do you want to come with us? No. They just left me there to cry my eyes out. It still makes me almost cry just talking about it. I mean come on I thought that we were friends!?! I'm really sad so I'm just going to upload some pictures now and go to sleep.

PS: Lets just pretend that its still the 18th cause we didn't go bowling till 1:00 so it still feels like it is.

Clogging!

Me, Duncan, Hunter, and Daddy went and picked up Bana and Nama (who had drove down to Bana's house) and we all drove up to the place that Duncan's clogging recital was at. We got in and saved a seat for Mommy. Once the recital finally started they introduced all of the teams and then started the dancing! It was lots of fun. Duncan did very good. Duncan looked like he had fun too so that's good. After the clogging was over we went and got dinner and went home. After we ate dinner we turned on Mamma Mia. And played a version of monopoly where instead of money its credit cards so it makes easier to keep track of money. It was fun. Daddy won, Duncan got second, I got third, and Hunter got fourth. I hope my friends did good at there meet today! I guess that I'll figure out on Monday.
