Kellie Pickler Ft. Taylor Swift - Best Days of Your Life

Kellie Pickler |MTV Music

Especially since it has Taylor Swift in it and you all know that she is my favorite singer! And if you don't then you have definitely been under a rock for a while. Haha! Just kidding!

Sorry!

I feel bad cause I haven't really had time to write every night and then when I try to remember the next morning I can't remember what we did! I know I'm bad! So Sorry! All I can say about Wednesday was that we did routines and I did them all easily and they were good!

I remembered to remind Ilia that I had to leave early cause I was going to my friends play 'Peter Pan' and guess what he already remembered!

After we were done with conditioning Ilia told us to go and do ballet! Yay! We haven't done it in so long! After ballet my legs were kind of hurting from not doing gym ballet stuff in awhile. We went to Vault next and Ilia made us stack the mats up again and do our stuff like that. After we were done with Vault we went to Bars and I did a couple turns of giant-giant-kip cast dismounts then Ilia had me do half pirouettes and free hips. My first one was soooo amazing! Mommy saw it and after gym she said that it was gorgeous! So yay! After a little while of doing those I went over to Ilia and said 'How many more should I do? Cause I have to leave in like...three minutes.' and I guess he forgot cause he was like 'Oh right you can be done Drew.' Thank you Ilia.

When we got home my Young Women leader was pulling up right when we pulled up. So instead of going inside and getting somethings to bring I just switched cars and we left, but I wish that I had gone and got somethings cause they I would have had some money to spend getting a drink, which would have been nice, but anyway the play was really good! Sammeie, Chamberlain, Natalie, Brook, Brynn, Tommy, Matthew, and Elliot all did really good! Sammie, Chamberlain, Natalie, and Brook were all 'Lost Boys'. Brynn was a 'Wendy Shadow' and a 'Pirate'. Tommy and Matthew were 'Pirates'. It was actually pretty funny to watch them! Haha! Elliot was a 'Indian Brave'. He had this really big hat that was made out of feathers! It was awesome! The whole play was good and I had lots of fun. I was kind of sad that Sammie wasn't 'Jane' (Wendy's daughter) tonight, but Brook was so that was cool, but now I want to go to the other cast cause I want to see Sammie as 'Jane' and Sam as 'Smee'. Plus I'd kind of just want to see it again, but I don't think that I can cause tomorrow night I'm going to the Utah Gymnastics meet and Saturday I can't go cause it's at noon and Duncan has a Clogging competition. Oh well, maybe I'll just not get to see them. :)

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.

But you said just leaps!?!?

So Ilia sent us to Floor after we did conditioning and Taylor told Ilia that her back hurt and he sat there for a minute then said to just do leaps and dance routines so we did and then after a little while he was like "Drew! Sadie! Kendall! What are you doing you have to do tumbling I only told Taylor to do leaps!" OK Ilia just so you know when we ask you what to do and you say just do leaps and routines we only do that!!! Gosh! So we started tumbling and when me and Sadie had done some good fulls we moved onto full and a halfs and mine were actually pretty good today! And I don't know how we got on the subject, but we started talking about how some of the most used words by people are um, like, gosh, so, and k (instead of OK). And so the rest of the time on Floor we would be talking then one of us would say something and someone else would start to laugh and we couldn't stop it! Even when that's the thing we were talking about! Haha! So silly. Anyways after Floor we went to Bars and me and Sadie did some good giants then did half pirouettes. My half pirouettes are getting lots better! So YAY! :) We went to Beam next and did three routines. I stuck my first one then fell on the second and stuck the two after that! My series were pretty straight today so that helped a lot. And since my leaps are getting better, but they still aren't very good I worked on those then gym was over so we went and stretched.

I don't know what is up with me and "The Veronicas", but here's two more songs by them.

The Veronicas |MTV Music

"When It All Falls Apart" I think this is my favorite of there songs.

The Veronicas |MTV Music

"4Ever" I don't know where, but I think I've heard this song before.


I'd tell you about what we did at Bana's and stuff like that, but that would spend time that could be used to read my book so see ya! Night!

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!!

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.

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!

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!

Boring day

I ended up not going to gym this morning since mommy wanted me and the boys to watch the presidential inauguration and Hunter had a orthodontist appointment so mommy had to take him to that. I don't really care since I only would have been doing floor bar again. So since I had all the time I wanted I spent the day icing my ankle, listening to my MP3 Player, and reading Fablehaven. My ankle is doing lots better and I can now walk almost normal on it.

After we dropped Hunter off at karate and Duncan at clogging mommy and I went over to the DI and I got some long sleeve shirts, sweats, and two belts. I really needed belts. I guess I'm a total girl cause I love going to the store and looking at clothes. Oh, so much fun!

This sucks!

I woke up this morning and I really didn't want to go. But I got ready and went. I did conditioning and then Ilia sent me to floor bar, but I hurt my left ankle and I'm a lefty so I couldn't get to handstand the way I normally do. I had to do it the righty way. It wasn't easy, I only made a couple half pirouettes over in like an hour and a half. Mommy then picked me up and now I'm so ready to just sit here and do nothing but listen to Taylor Swift.

Got to pack pack pack!

After conditioning Ilia sent me and Taylor to beam. I had to do two routines, stuck. I stuck my first and then fell on my series on my second, but then I stuck the next one. We then went to bars and after I warmed up I did a routine and I stuck it! I went and asked Ilia how many routines I had to do and he told me to do one more. While I was chalking up Ilia changed his mind and told me to go and do full and a halfs on floor. I fell on my first three then I got it down and was sticking them. I had to warm up my second pass after that and then I did one stuck routine and it was time for vault! I did vault for a while and then I was really getting sick of it so I asked Ilia how many more I had to stick and he said that I had to do one more. Me and Sadie then did a lot of stretching. We had got done early so we ran over to the office and called our moms and told them to come pick us up. Mommy got there fifteen minutes later and I made sure I had everything I needed for competition and we were home free!

After I made dinner and we ate very fast we had to go to the symphony. We went and saw Vivaldi's The Four Seasons. It was really good. I remembered some parts of it from when we studied Vivaldi, but not all of it. I now have to finish packing as much as I can so we can leave tomorrow morning for Las Vegas. So lets get packing!!! ~pack~pack~pack~yeah gotta pack~pack~pack~ Sing it with me!!
