Bored...

So gym was pretty normal today. We did conditioning then we went to Floor. I did layouts, fulls, full and a halfs, and then tried to do doubles. I couldn't ever really get the double, but I'll work on it. We did ballet after that and then we went to Bars. I did stalder on straps at first and then Ilia told me to do back tuck back and I did like two turns before he told us to move the mats and do the yagure timers. Really quick I don't have a clew how to spell half of these things so my apologizes if you don't know what it is that I'm doing!! Sorry!! Next was Beam. I did like usually back handspring aerial and when I showed Ilia he said that they're getting better and that if I wanted to I could do them on the low Beam with pads. Um...I think that I'll work on getting them not just better, but good on the floor before I do them on the Beam. Just maybe. I did front tucks after that and I was going to do them on the Beam, but I wasn't doing them right on the floor so I didn't.


When Dad picked me up we went to Bana's and while I was eating my dinner my wire popped out of my bracket so now I have to go to the Ortho. Didn't I just go there a few days ago. ~sigh~

Maybe not

Since yesterday was April Fools Day I decided to play a joke on my gym friends and this is something like how it went: I sit down to stretch with them and say "So you know how I finished Fablehaven last night?" and they said "Yeah" (this is where it gets good) "Well guess what!?! I finished Brisingr too!!!" now Kendall looks at me with pure anger and shock all mixed in one and screams "You what!!! You finished it in one day!! BOOKWORM!!! Oh my gosh, BOOKW..." She couldn't finish because I looked at her and with a smile on my face said plain an simple "April Fools".

So when I got to gym yesterday my back was really hurting me, but that wasn't the worst. When we were almost to the gym I got a really bad stomach ache and it wouldn't go away so when I told Ilia he had me sit for a while and when it wasn't getting better he had me call Mom. It took her a while to get there, but when she finally got there I was starting to feel a little better, but not totally so I went with her. We went and got me some food and then took Duncan to dance. I was starting to feel even better so when we went inside because the car was cold I sat and read my book for a while and then I got up and started to walk around a little bit. Bad idea. My stomach started to hurt really bad again so I had to sit down again. Mom gave me some Tums and I think that helped, but I'm not really sure. Anyway I'm feeling better now and I went to morning work out this morning. We did Bars and I was do stalder timers on strap and then Ilia had me do them on the normal bar. I actually could do them pretty good!!

Well I don't even know what to say...

Like the title says: I don't know what to say, but I'll try to say something interesting, but I can't guarantee.


We went to Floor first, but all we did was dance routines. I'm not really sure why cause even though it's Thursday (so it's easy day) lately it hasn't been as easy cause it's still competition session. Anyway after we did Floor we went and did ballet for a half hour then went to Bars. I did a couple sets of giants then worked on my half pirouettes. They're getting better, but I still need to work on getting to handstand then turning and not touching my feet on the mat. After those I did free hips. As always they aren't very good, but I'm trying so I'm hoping that if I keep working at it that sometime soon I'll finally get it to handstand. We went to Beam next. We only had to do one routine and luckily I stuck my first one. So after I did my routine I worked on leaps. I did that for a while, but then Ilia told all of us to go and stretch.

Daddy picked me up and we went and got some food then went to Bana's house. She isn't doing so good. She doesn't feel good and her back is hurting her again. But I don't want to talk about sad things so lets move on! We stayed at her house for sometime, but then it was time to go. On the way home we stopped at the store and got some juice and some food for breakfast. And now that I'm home I think that I'm going to sit around with Daddy and be happy that for once I'm finished writing on my blog before 11:00 at night.

Really really fast!

OK I have to write this really really fast so I'm not going I'm not going into detail!

We went to Floor first and my routine was pretty good and I did go low on my front tuck front tuck!!! We then went to Bars and Ilia told me and Sadie that we had to do three routines and guess what!?! I stuck all three in a row!!! Next was Beam. Oh Beam. On one of my series my friends forgot to pull the spring board (that's for mounts) back. I fell back and my back bone went right into the edge of the spring board. It hurt really bad! I stuck the next two routines, but it still was hurting me. Ilia told me to go and do round off rebounds. I was going crooked on my cart wheels and I was kind of scared to go for my round off, but I knew I just had to go for it so I did and I kind of went crooked. I missed my feet and fell, I scraped my leg on the Beam and got a huge bruise. I'm telling you Beam burn hurts sooooooo much more than carpet burn! ~wimp~ I also hit my arm and my head on the Beam, but that didn't hurt it was just my leg. This is going to hurt when I go to sleep tonight! Boo hoo!

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. :)

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!

Routine day

So today was competition day and we went to beam first and Ilia told us that we had to stick one routine. Well, lets just say that I didn't stick it the first time or the second or the third...you catching my draft. I couldn't stick it! Then of course Ilia goes outside for like two minutes and I stick it! But I stuck it so I was done with routines even though I did have to do series. Oh well. Next was bars and I after I was warmed up I went for my routine and it was really good, but Ilia made me do another one anyway. I was pretty mad, but after that I was done with routines and only had to do first half. We then went to floor and I had to do routine with easy tumbling just like yesterday. But unlike yesterday I didn't cry. Though my first one did hurt and my front tuck didn't and my last pass I kind of landed with most of my weight on my good ankle. Ya I know that's bad, but I didn't mean to! Then Ilia had us do one dance routine. After that did Vault and Ilia made me and Sadie do it until we stuck it! Which in case you didn't know took a while and was very hard and painful cause I'm still recovering from a sprained ankle and Sadie only got her cast of her wrist last week! But then we were finally done!

We went over to the office and got a bag of chips for each of us and Mommy picked me up and we went and got Duncan from dance. And now I'm really tired so I'm going to bed.

I thought that you said Wednesday!?!

I know for fact that yesterday night right before I left Ilia said 'See you tomorrow Drew. We're Vaulting on Wednesday so get better.' and then today after conditioning he said 'Kendall, Taylor go to Vault. Sadie and Drew stretch and when there done you go to Vault.' So tell me this what happened to the we're Vaulting on Wednesday cause unless I'm going crazy its still Tuesday!! UGH!

So I did Vault and it didn't hurt to bad doing the round offs, but I had to run faster and punch off the board harder to be able to flip so that really hurt. And then after we were done with Vault Ilia told me to go to floor and do routine with easy tumbling! I tried a couple round off back handsprings and then I went for one layout. It really hurt so I was like OK I'm not doing anymore until my routine. And I didn't want to do THREE layouts cause just doing one killed and I knew I had to do at least two in my routine so for my second pass I did a front tuck since its the same as my really second pass just without the next front tuck! Since it was hurting so bad I asked Ilia if I could use my ace bandage and he said that I could and I was so HAPPY! When everyone was finally warmed up Sadie asked who wanted to go first and I said I did cause I wanted it to just get over with. I started my routine and I almost started crying after my first pass and I had to hold back tears through my second pass, but I couldn't hold them any longer after that last pass it just hurt too bad. Ilia told me to go and do toe raises and that didn't really help, but he wants it to get stronger so whatever. I had to do one more routine luckily just dance.

We then went to bars. I warmed up my second pass and then my first and I went for my routine. My routine was OK it wasn't the best ever, but my second pass is good and dismount doesn't hurt at all so that's good. After my routine Ilia had me do just first pass cause and I quote 'It's ugly.'
Well, thank you Ilia, thank you very much!! I was really nervous for beam cause my ankle still hurt and I didn't want to do series. I warmed up on the floor and it didn't hurt too bad, but it still hurt so I asked Ilia if I could do them on the low beam. First reason: I hadn't done them on the beam in over two weeks. Second reason: My ankle was hurting and I didn't want to do it wrong because of the pain and fall and hurt myself even more. Ilia didn't seem to happy, but he let me, but said that tomorrow I have to do my full routine on the high beam. It did hurt some, but I still did them and I'm still alive. My ankle is really swore now, but I'm OK.

Boring boring day

So Ilia is out of town with Taylor and Kendall for a meet so I didn't have gym today and I figured that when I was done with my homework that I would call Sammie and see if she could come over and have a sleep over.

Well, when I was done with my homework I realized that my room was a mess and started to clean it. When it was almost clean I called her and her mom told me that she was at play practice and she would be done at about 5:00 and she would have Sam call me. I know them and I knew she wasn't going to call I'd have to call them so at 5:30 I called and Dori said that Sammie was at her grandma's house cause she couldn't make it to pick Sammie up! Well great! I called again at 7:00 and asked if Sammie was home yet. Brandon (her dad) said that she wasn't, but that she would be in the next hour. I called at 8:00 again. No answer. I called them a couple times and still no answer. I called Sammie's cell and she answered, finally! I asked if she could have a sleep over and she wasn't sure so she asked her mom and called me back and said she couldn't tonight, but maybe tomorrow.

Oh well, at least my rooms clean.

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.

I can't get the video that I took of Sadie bowling to work so I'll upload it later when my mom can help.

Bad Day

We went to beam first today and since it was just me and Taylor we had four minutes to warm up and then we did one routine. We both stuck it so we got to just work on some of our skills. I had to do a whole bunch of full turns and then my jumps. After beam we went to bars. I had a minute and a half to warm up and I felt like I was ready after that, but apparently not. I fell over on my second giant, then the next routine I stopped on my kip cast dismount, the routine after that I fell on my dismount! I was so mad by then, but I went for my next routine and stuck it. I then of course had to do free hips. We went to floor after that and I warmed up and I was slightly worried about full and a half. Then when I went for my routine I fell on it. I went for two more routines and fell on both of them so Ilia told me to do a full for my first and last pass so I did and wasn't very happy. Also I hurt my finger this time on the full and a half. Boo Hoo! Ilia had me work on them while Taylor was on vault then I went to vault. When I was done with that Ilia said I could be done, but I asked him if I could work on full and a halfs and he said that would be fine, but we only had fifteen minutes left of our time for floor so I had to hurry. I went over to the floor and Sadie was over there so she finished what she was doing and I stuck a full and a half and we were done. Of course we were done an hour early. I called mommy and she said that I should just go over to the office and sit with Collen till she could pick me up.

-------------------------------------------------

It wasn't too long till she came to get me, but of course there was a lady there asking about a class for her daughter and she was Japanese so mommy had to talk to her! They sat there and talked and talked about lots of different stuff and finally were able to go and pick up Duncan from his ballet class.

When we got to the studio we realized that we hadn't bought food and Duncan was going to kill us, but mommy had an idea that we should take this little coupon we have and go to Pizza Hut and get Duncan a one person pizza for free with it. When we went in to get Duncan we talked with Heather (his teacher) for a minute and then we were off to on our Pizza Hut hunt (yes hunt cause we can never find one.) We knew that there was a Pizza Hut in Rose Park so we figured that it was mostly on the way home and so we went there. But guess what!?! The Pizza Hut isn't there anymore. It got torn down. We were trying to think of where else there was a one and I knew where one was, but couldn't remember the street only the things around it. I thought we were going to go look for it, but mommy just kept driving home and when Duncan finally realized where we were he got mad and had a temper tantrum cause he wanted his pizza! Mommy told him that she wanted to surprise him and he didn't like the word surprise. She took us to Little Caesar's Pizza to get us one normal sized pizza and all have that.

While she was in the store me and Duncan had a fight and he hit me and I had a freak out and hit him back a whole bunch. When mommy got back in the car she asked what was wrong and I told her what happened with much yelling from Duncan saying that I hit him first. I started balling my eyes out. I can't really explain what all happened, but lets just say this I was having a hard day. I hadn't eaten in about nine hours, I'm nervous for competition, and Hailee's knee is making Ilia depressed.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Once we got home I had some pizza and sat down and read Eclipse. I don't know why, but rereading any of the Twilight or the Harry Potter books seems to make me less depressed. And it did help a lot. And now since I'm depressed about Hailee here are some pictures of her.
