Summer

ok, i know i havent written in like almost two months, but summer is sssssoooooo busy sometimes! well, ive got to admit, my summer hasnt been busy at all! so there is no reason why i shouldnt have written anything. oh well, whats done is done.

so ,as you have read already, my summer is really boring, and i know how i have said in the last blog i wrote, that i wanted school to be over, and i wanted summer to come, but right now i want school to start, but if i had to go back to my old teachers, i would have said, no way jose!! cause that was crazy!!! well, i guess i wouldnt say that about some of my teachers, but most of them , i wanted to get out of there as soon as i could, but now im going back to new teachers, so i thinks its gona be funner.

well, now that the beggining of summer is over, now come the hecktic weeks, first were goin to washington for a week, then, i get a week to be home, and then i go to girls camp for a week, that is going to be fun. my mom just got called as the assistant camp director, so now shes goin to camp too!!! its gona be really fun! but after i get home from girls camp, i have a week, then school startes! not a very long summer!!! well, i guess im glad its kina over cause im sick of doing nothing all day!

NEW CHICKENS!!!!!

OK, well, we didnt have much luck with our last chickens, cause one died( we dont know why) and the other died cause it ate fertilizer, and lets just say, morty had chicken nuggets for dinner a couple of days ago. M y dad felt bad, cause he was the one who put the chicken in the garden knowing that the dogs could get in, then he forgot about it, and, well, i guees you can guess the rest.

well anyway, he felt bad, so he bought 4 more chickens! these ones are cute! they arnt yellow like our old one, there black and greyish, and there only a week old! they are so cute! well, we dont have any pictures of them at the moment, but i will put some on later.

Memorial Day (moms star valley trip)

every memorial day weekend, we go to wyoming, and go see all of my moms realatives graves. really, its just an excuse to going down and taking a family trip to star valley, where every one there is related, so while we were looking at graves,all i saw was turners on every grave in sight! well, maybe family trips dont sound like alot of fun, but this one was.

we wanted to go hiking at intermition falls, but since it was so muddy, we decided not to, so we tried to find another trail, and my moms aunt karol told us where another short trail was. we couldnt find it, so we ended up just going to a trail near my great grandmas house, but didnt walk up very far.

when we got to the place to hike, there was a small bridge we had to cross, then after you crossed it, there was a small opening, then the trail, we just stayed in the opening though. when everybody was just standing around looking at the mud, i got an idea. why dont we have some fun i thought. since we were in wyoming, there was still a little bit of snow on the ground. so i picked up some snow, rolled it into a perfect ball, and chose my target carefully. i finally decided on matt. i chucked that little ball right at him, but then i paid for it later, cause my mom threw me into the snow. but i started something fun, cause then everybody started chucking snow balls every where, it was great!!

then, on the way home, we stoped at a gas station so my dad could go to the bathroom. While he was in the bathroom, we saw a park just in front of us, so we decided to drive over, and try to scare my dad cause the car was gone. we went on the teeter totters, and the swings, it was lots of fun, cause everybody played, not just the kids!!

this memorial day was fun, and i hope that next year will be just as fun!!!! thank you bateson family, radford family, and my family for giving me such a good time!! oh, and all of my moms family whom was having a good old fasioned "weenie roast" when we showed up!

Tryouts

tryouts have always scared me half to death, like when i tried out for the basket ball team, or when we were doing race offs for the relays for track(even though i already knew i was a long distance runner) or when i had to tryout for the talent show in 6th grade, even though every one was gonna make it.

now if you noticed, i said pretty much every thing but dance. i dont know why, but when ever i tryout for dance, or go to dance compotitions, i never get scared. i dont know why. maybe my true talent is dance, but my passion is basketball. well, really, since i havent played basket ball in awhile, i really dont have a big passion for it, now my passion is running. i guess im pretty good at that also though.

well anyway, back to dancing. i decided to give it one more chance, so i tried out for the team that kelsie dances on, and i think i did pretty good for not dancing for a whole year. but if i dont like it, i wont ever do it again, but i think ill really like it this year.

Going Green

my dad got this great idea that we should attempt to go green, so we did. so we bought those disinfesting wipes so we could save soap, we have to turn off all of the lights before we go to school, we got oil heaters to heat the house, and we freeze 2 liter soda bottles in the winter, and put them in our fridge so we can turn the fridge down. its all pretty weird, but i guess its better then riding our bikes around every where and lookin in other peoples garbage for food, so we can recycle even more food. that would be extreemly weird!!

Summer

school is almost over, and i am sooooooo excited!!!!! track season has ended, but in just 3 short months i will be starting cross country! i dont have to run 3 miles like the high schoolers do, i just have to run 1 1/2 miles. i'm very excited!

we got three new chickens awhile ago, and 2 of them have died since then, and our last one ate fertilizer again, so he'll die here in a couple of days.

theres olny a couple of days left until schools out, and i have to deal with the stress of missing assignments i already did TWICE, stressed out teachers who dont want to deal with it, all of the kids in my classes who wont shut up and listen because they want to be out of school too, and school lunches that taste like garbage because they're giving us all of the left overs. i really HATE the last weeks of school because of all of this. but i guess ill deal with all of it for 61/2 more days of school. i am just going to act like its all not happening, and come home and forget all about it! i hope every one else is just as excited to get out of school for awhile, and take a break for summer!!!

Tack Update

I had a track meet, april 10th. i ran the 800 again. i placed and got third! my time was 3min. and 16sec. almost 15 seconds off my last time. i almost got second, but he girl in front of me was a GREAT sprinter!!!! i was about to pass her when she started to sprint, so i ended up with 3rd.

thanks to kolton, kelsie, my mom and dad, and all of my friends who supported me!!!!!!!!

My Birthday!!!!!

OK, I know I haven't written in like 4 months, so not many of you will read this because you probably don't read my blog cause i don't post, but I'll be better about that.

I am going to talk about my birthday. My birthday was March 5Th. I turned 13 this year. I got a new snowboard, pink of course! And i also got a Zen. if you don't know what a Zen is, its just like an iPod, but Microsoft makes it, so we can use our music, not he iPod music, because my mom doesn't like iTunes, or iPods, so i have a Zen, and Kolton has a Zune. Kelsie only has a mp3 for now. i also got lots of clothes for my birthday, and shoes.

On the Saturday after my birthday, i went to Jackson with my friends to go snowboarding. while we were there my mom had ANOTHER poparatsy moment. Instead of the guy off Monk, it was Harrison Ford. There credit cards touched! She thought that it was so amazing! I thinkthat he is very old and has a funny nose. I'm surprised that he didn't have a heart attack while he did the new Indiana Jones movie. If he didn't then he probably will during the Kids Choice Awards 2008. Well, anyway, we had lots of fun.

Well, if you are reading my blog, you should be very proud of me!! Thanks so much Mindy, mom, and Kelsie, for reminding me to post again!
