Leah's Homecoming

2011-08-15T10:09:00.000-07:00

This week we are here for my aunt Leah's homecoming from her mission in the East Toronto, Canada mission.
Saturday- We went shopping up in Park City with Leah and my cousins, Asher and Tatiana. I bought some new Aeropostale shirts and they are gorgeous. We basically bought new school clothes. Then after dinner we walked up to the park by my Grandma Creswell's house in Bountiful, Utah.
Sunday- We went to sacrament meeting and listened to Leah's homecoming talk. It was an amazing talk Leah. i loved it.
Monday- Today is monday and so far we have hiked Ensign Peak and you should all do that because of the beautiful veiw. When we got up there my mom told me about when Brigham Young hiked up there and new that was the place because Joseph Smith and Brigham saw that view in a vision so they settled there.
Afterwards we went to the garden and read some different plaques of what happened at that site. We are planning to go to that park we went to on saturday, after lunch.

I'm starting up snowboarding again. i have three of my best friends doing it with me. Adam aslo has a friend that's coming with him so he's also excited, because last year we didn't have any friends doing it with us. One is snowboarding and the other two are skiing. I have great teachers along with great friends. We've only done it once so far. we do it every friday but this friday we don't have any school so we don't have any work to makeup. i love to snowboard. it's just another talent i can add to my list.

there is a snowboard/ski program at the Lyon county school district. some of my friends from school and my ward go there. Adam and i have had so much fun. we go every Friday for 6 weeks. we have already gone 2 weeks. we have learned our turns, falls, hills, and how to sprain your wrist. 2 girls today have sprained their wrists. 1 girl i saw sprain it but the other i didn't. Adam and i get rentals there. there are 3 hills we have gone down, galena is a hard one, ponderosa is pretty simple, and flying jenny which is the easiest. these last 2 weeks have been really great except for the sore bum and wrist. but it's worth it.

fun in the sun

2008-06-03T16:57:00.000-07:00

today was fun in the sun it was so fun. first we played shoe find against Mrs. Beaty's class. [my friend Oakley is in that class.] we won! the game is played first you have to take off your shoes and put them in your class's pile of shoes.when everybody's shoes are off you make 2 class lines. you get 2 turns. the first turn is when you run as fast as you can. when you get to your class's pile you find 1 of your shoes. then you have to put it on. then you run back to your class line. when your 2nd turn comes you run even faster than before to the pile of shoes. you find your other shoe, put it on, and run back. we all had our 2 shoes. so we were done before the other class. then we went to A's baseball field to play kickball against Mrs.Paul[the 5th grade.] they won but we had fun. i was the last kicker so i only ran to first base. which i didn't like. but at least i got to pitch. that was fun. everybody had good sportsmanship. which is surprising. because our class normally they really mean about losing.

then we played this cook waitress/waiter game. we played with a rubber chicken.we each had to take turns putting on the only apron we had. then we each took turns running to this plastic tin either putting the chicken in the tin or getting the chicken from the tin. that was awesome.

the next awesome activity was... i don't remember. we played Mrs. Kranjec's class[the other 4th grade class.] but this is how you play it. you have 2 rounds. the first round we won! the second we lost. first you have a cup and a bucket. who ever had the most play fish won. then you had to walk sideways to a little baby pool filled with water. then you fill the cup with water and a play fish. then you walk sideways with the cup on your head. there was a whole on the bottom of the cup. so walking back your head got all wet. the water was cold. the 2nd round we walked forward to the pool then backwards to the bucket.

before lunch we got a cookie, that was the almost greatest part. then we got a break from all activities and we had lunch.

after lunch we played statue of liberty. where we had a cone,ball, and a science book.we had to hold the ball in the cone up high.we had to hold the book at our waist. when we were done with that we played a game where you had a hockey stick and a ball. you had to hit it around a tennis racket. then we played a game where you have the ball in a cone and you have to take it around the tennis racket.

after we went and played a marble/sponge game. first we played the marble game where you had to put marbles in a bucket... with your toes. now that was hard. after we finished that very hard game we played the sponge game. we had to grab a sponge from a baby pool. then we had to pass it over our heads. the last person had to squeeze the sponge into the bucket. we lost both games.

we went to the bounce houses. those were the best part.we did all kinds of tricks. 1 of the times mrs.darden[our teacher] got in. that was funny. first i did a couple front flips then i tried to do a back flip. that didn't turn out so good.but i tried.

after the rock'n bounce houses we went through this thing called the car wash. it had awesome sprinklers. but the water was cold. i was freezing. so was marleah. but it was fun.

THIS DAY WAS ROCK'N!

student award

2008-05-29T19:22:00.000-07:00

last night we were so busy. we had to be in a whole lot of places in 1 time. it was almost like a hotel having a bunch of calls for room service. a had a baseball game but my dad said,'' school awards are more important than every day sports.'' that is why we went to the super student award ceremony. i got this really cool metal. it has a bobcat footprint on it. it was made of a gem i think. but it was fun because after every student got there award we got cake. there was vanilla or chocolate. i got chocolate. it was delicious.

a new sleepover friend

2008-05-29T18:35:00.000-07:00

one nice February day Marleah and i had a sleepover. we had this awesome sleepover so we could take time to talk about our lives and how they had been before i moved to NV. we also took time away from

our brothers and my sister. although Marleah's brother was there half the time.

therefore when we were at Marleah's house, we did great activities. first when we got there we had lots of great snacks, 1 of them were this banana pudding pie. while eating snacks we took off our shoes, relaxed, and watched Disney. when we were tired of Disney we fed the dogs,the dog food, which smelt kind of weird. after feeding the dogs we went to play on the computer. we played "The Clue Finder."
however we also had a great dinner and fun activities after dinner. for dinner Marleah's mom made great salmon and some yummy rice. then we set up a small tent that we slept in that night. then Marleah's parents cleaned the dogs, after the dogs got out they smelled so good. then Marleah and i did makeovers with her mom's make-up. then we hid under the bed. under the bed we watched movies on their portable TV until we were so tired we had to go to bed.
although the next morning we had a great breakfast . we had some bad news, the dogs chewed up 1 of MY shoes.but before we found that out we were playing video games. we played dirt biking. then the dogs were trying to play with us so we played a dame with them. we hid inside the tent and left the bedroom door open a little crack. they would come in and start jumping on the tent. when we were all dressed Marleah let me borrow her shoes , which is a whole other story,we left for the soccer field.which is another long story.

well i feel like that was the greatest sleepover I've ever had. i hope Marleah had a great time too.

The Fire Drill

2007-11-07T07:27:00.000-08:00

Yesterday we were reading the BFG and all of a sudden we heard this drilling sound. our teacher thought that probaly was the Fire Drill. so we lined up in single file line. when we got outside our teacher staerted to call our names and the whole back of the line started talking so we couldn't here our teacher call our names and we didn't respond. also miss. kranchek(i don't know how to spell her name) she yelled at us for no reason.i did not like that. so last recess we spent the whole time on the sqaure. that sucked. after recess we went back to the classroom we started to to do our Nevada books.that took my mind off the fire drill.

A Great sleepover on 5-4-07

2007-05-11T19:27:00.000-07:00

On Friday I slept over at Jessica's house. Before we went to bed we watched Night At The Museam when the movie was done we had to go to bed. When we went to bed we forgot to say prayer. When the prayer was over Jessica and I were not tired at all.

We got bored trying to go to sleepso we found something to do and it was coloring in a coloring bookbut thatdidn't last long because Jessica's dad came in and said we had to clean up the crayons,colored pencils,and markers.Then we got bored again and we found something else to do, tell scary stories but we got tired while doing that so we went to sleep.

on sat. morning we woke up then we went out to their living room and started to watch cartoons. while we watched cartoons jess's dad made us pancakes. after we watched cartoons we ate our pancakes. then we watched some of 'night at the museum'. we got bored of that so we went downstairs and started to dump our polly pockets but we couldn't finish dumping them out because we had to get our shoes, jacket, and money to go shopping at costco. before we left costco, jess and i, bought 2 churros and 2 drinks. we both got rootbeer.

after that we went back to jess's house and cut each churro into 8 pieces. we each got 5 pieces because we had to share with nicholas, jess's brother. after we ate some of our churros we went downstairs and finished playing polly pockets. we got kind of bored of polly pockets so we played witches and allison, jess's sister, was the witch and jess, nicholas, and i were trying to stay away from allison. we made an attic for that game but that game got boring so we twitched it up a little bit. then we played dragon riders like aragon. that got boring so we played a spy/fighting game. nicholas was the good side and jess and i were the bad side.

after that we stopped playing that because jess and i got in a fight then we worked it out and we started to play a game where jess and i were poor and we shot pretend animals and ate them. we lived on a boat which was kind of boring then we went upstairs to play with allison but my mom had to come and pick me up from jess's house.
