saturday!

im going to tell you about my saturday because im very bored and so yea...
yesterday i woke up not feeling good and couldnt go to practice :'( but later in the day we went out to eat at this pasta place. i got really mad because i didnt want to eat outside becaue the carpenter bees were going to eat me. (i know it sounds weird, but i bet they could)
after that, my mom took us to old navy and i bought a pair of short and monique bought two. then we walked to the shoe store and bought flip-flops and then i bought a pair of sunglasses which made my dad really happy because i always complain about sun and then never want to buy sunglasses. then we went back to old navy and monique bought some sunglasses. then we drove away and saw a christian book store and since i've been wanting some devotional books we stopped there and i bought four books! so i think i'm good until tenth grade or so. after we left there we went to cold stone so it was like a perfect day except for the morning. we also sat outside in the hammocks because it was like perfect weather :)

coming soon...

okay, this blog hasn't had a post in awhile so i've decided to tell y'all (georgia accent) whats coming up in my life!!!

next week is my state competition and then, on the same day, i'm flying out 2 oregon. since im the oldest person on my team i will be competing alone.

may 1-3 are cheerleading try-outs. idk why i want to go, but i am. the tumbling should be easy because im better than most people at my school, but my dad called the gym and they said that they will teach everyone a dance and a cheer and then you show them or something... i think thats going to be the embarrassing part.

during the summer i have gymdogs camp. im rooming with my friend erin and this is my first time ever.

right after that is AAU nationals. they're going to be in Savannah, Georgia.

these are some pics from when we went to hilton head for a gymnastics meet. the first one is my team, then my family on the lighthouse. then me in a tree.

another one

okay, sorry about all of these, but i keep having good meets. I'll try to make this one shorter.
The meet was in athens, georgia. at UGA. so we competed and then got to watch a gymdogs meet, which is the name of their gymnastics teem.
i was really sick and my ankles had been hurting, but i managed to have a good meet anyway.
we started on floor and our team was amazing. my friend got her first nine ever and everyone (except for one person) got nines. i got a 9.3
then we went to vault. i considered scratching because i felt so bad, but our team had a bad vault day and my 8.75 was the third highest score, so i actually helped out our team score
on bars i got an 8.4 and i didnt place because my coach taught me this new dismount which apparently im not allowed to do. if i had done my normal dismount i would have gotten an 8.9.
on beam i stayed on with no wobbles and got a 9.4!!!
at awards i got 6th place all-around, 7th place vault, 8th place bars (but no award because 7 is as low as they go), 2nd place beam, and 3rd place floor.
they gave us cool plaques and then star stickers to put on they for each event.
anyways, i miss you guys and cant wait to see you!!

meeeeeeeeeeeet!

omg i just had the best meet of my life!!!! it was at my gym and it was a small meet, but i got the second-highest all-around on my team. 35.95
we started on floor and i get a lot of 9's on floor (9.1, 9.325-my best ever) and i got a 9.25, my second best ever. there was a funny incident during warm-up where i did a round-off-backhandspring-backtuck and tucked too hard and ended up on my back sliding accross the floor.
next we went to vault. i have had some trouble on vault, a lot of 7's which were really killing my all-around. and i had a great first vault, (and an awful second one) scoring an 8.8. after my first vault my coach, who usually hates my vault, was like: that was beatiful. idk it was just funny
next we went to bars. i am pretty good at bars, but i cant do my flyaway (backflip off bars) so my start value is a 9.8 instead of a 10,0. but the rest of my bars was pretty good (except for my jump to the high bar) and the judges were judging REALLY hard!!! this girl on my team that is amazing at bars got a 9.25 and my coach said that was the highest score that they'd given all meet. i got an 8.65
last we went to beam. i have the worst beam of our team because i cant do my backwalkover so i have to do cartwheels. idk if it lowers my start value. i dont think so. i stayed on with one wobble and got a 9.25!!! my first nine on beam EVER!!! even last year.
at awards ( im sorry this is long) there was only one other person in my age group (13-14) and i won everything!! my best friend on the team (now that kendi quit) qulified for state which she's really been wanting to do. (you need a 32 all-around) and my team won!!! sorry, i dont tell you guys every meet anymore, but this one was exciting.

PS, I'm grounded so i wont be on for a while, my dad let me on for 20 minutes

btw

My Snowball Dress

Okay you guys. Yesterday we officially went shopping for a dress for the winter dance at my school (It's a semi-formal dance) and we found two that were pretty good. It took a lot of convincing but we finally came out with a ...gulp... pink dress. I'm not really a fan of pink so this is a stretch for me but I think I'm gonna try it...

:-)

These are some snow pics I found, the upper one is of maija and dylan and there snow tower, the other one is of a bunch of branches, but I thought it looked cool so I took a picture of it.

Sorry its been awhile I have just been really busy training for bouldering regianals and doing homework and that type of stuff.

Unanswered Question #4

My friend just sent me this little quote and I just can't get over it. It says: "Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected expected?" Oh Man! I love it! It's totally true too! I love this quote!

HAPPY TURKEY-DAY!!!!!!!!!

(i trieed to post a cartoon of a turkey but it didn't work!!)

(it was FUNNY!!)

Hey Everybody! Now that this blog is back alive, what's up with you guys? How's life treating you guys? Done anything exciting recently?

random pics

OK, here are some pictures of me rockclimbing and swimming with my awsome sunglasses on. We almost put Tacoma to sleep, because of this lump he had on his throat, so we took him to the vet and the person who was going to give him the stuff to put him to sleep said that it wasn't a tumor, it was an infected gland and he could remove it in a 1 day surgery. So now he has a bald spot on his cheek that is REALLY wierd. So, ya...what's new?

I finally remembered my password!!!!!!!!

Where IS Everybody!?!

Okay Kelsey, I think it's just you and me right now. Monique hasn't come back and does anybody have any idea where Anika is? Sorry, I meant Kelsey, do you know where Anika is?

Okay you guys. This is not funny anymore... What does a girl have to do to get a guy's attention? Seriously! I've done just about everything I can do to be noticed (some that I wish I hadn't but hey, it's not my fault!) but he's still indifferant. I take that back... he thinks I'm a window. No, he thinks I'm nonexistant... geez! Not only does he not notice me (trust me, that's a feat. His locker is right over mine and he has to practically climb over me to get into it... And every day at lunch, his little friend hits on us but he never talks. While one of us waits for the other to get out of the way so the other can get into their locker, his friend starts random conversations like the other day he looked at us and said: "my favorite color is green, what's yours?" and yesterday he asked us how lunch was. "this guy" (I'll just call him that) doesn't talk, he just does his business and leaves. I'm happy though because one time he actually was listening and when I made a joke, he laughed. Not like that changes how he's acting now but it still makes me happy. Oh, I could go on forever about this but I'll spare you guys. Sorry, I just needed to dump all that on somebody...
