Tennis!

Today I'm going to write a little bit of why I love tennis! I don't have any pics. of me playing tennis, sorry! Anyways, I've played tennis for 3 1/2 years now. I started out horrible and have improved a little since! Every Friday morning we meet for a hour and a half and our 3 awesome coaches have us do a bunch of drills. There's three groups of kids and we rotate so we're with all the coaches. There's this "challenge" where you can "challenge" somebody in a different group and if you win you get to go into their group and they have to go into yours. To "challenge" somebody you have to win three matches against them. Katie and I "challenged" two people in the highest group and beat um so now were in the highest group! Katie is the only other girl in that group so when she's not there, I totally don't like it...cause I'm the only girl!!! I'm not close to the best in my group, and it's cool because then I have a hard time beating people in the drills! I always look forward to going to tennis on Fridays and I'm very bummed when they cancel it(because of the rain). I love tennis and I hope to continue playing it for a very long time!

Skiing!

Like 2 or 3 weeks ago my family (except my mom) went skiing up at Sierra Summit! We had a blast. It wasn't that crowded. It was pretty nice weather up there. At about 2:00 it started getting pretty chilly and we put on another layer of clothes and were fine. A bit later in the day it started getting a bit more frigged and we were a little cold. It started to hail(except it was like really small)! It was like totally awesome cause when we were going down the slopes the hail was like slapping us in the face. I absolutely loved it! The other really neat thing was when we were going up the ski lifts the snowflakes were landing on our pants and we could look at all of the different shapes and sizes and I was in awe bc all of them were different! (duh) But it's so cool to look at all the stuff that God created and EVERYTHING is an individual! Anyways, I look really cheesy in these pics. so ignore me! :p

I've gone skiing about 7 or 8 times, I love every trip to the snow and love skiing! When we go, in about a month, I'm going to try snowboarding (for the first time)...if you have any tips, at all, please let me know! :)

Christmas!

I had a fantastic Christmas and loved every single bit of it! I am so thankful for all the wonderful gifts that I got! I got some clothes, games, shoes and lots more! I luv all of it! Our family was blessed with so much "stuff"! Here are just a couple of pictures of us on Christmas. We all have sleepy faces and look, lets say...not our best. It was so nice to take a brake from school and all the busy activities. It was also nice to have Grandma with us and Andrew back from college.We had family over for a wonderful Christmas dinner, cooked by my mom :)
Thanks mom!

My awesome family!

Hey! I was just browsing through some pictures and I came across this awesome picture! It was taken at the beach w/ our cousins (last summer) and we were just walking around and looking at a bunch of different shops. We found this extremely cool stand! It had like hundreds of different sweet sunglasses for sale! So, we all chose our favorite for the pic. My smile is really lame and dorky looking but the shades are totally me! jk...Anyways, the person in the bright blue shirt and huge strange sunglasses, is my cousin Jesse. John is my cousin with the super curly blond hair and gray shirt. My biggest bro. is the one with the brown straight hair and and Timmy is the cool one to the far right. (and the close up picture) Anyways, idk why I'm putting this picture on here but, I absolutely love pictures! More later!

Soccer

I'm going to choose one of my favorite sports, one at a time, and tell you a little bit about me and why I absolutely love the sport! Today, I'm choosing soccer. I totally love soccer! It's the best sport ever invented! I've played soccer for 9 years now! And I'm 13 years old, you can do the math to figure out how old I was when I started! Anyways, I started playing with YMCA and played with them for, I think, 4 years. Then I went and played with AYSO, and I've been playing there for 5 years. I think my best experience was this past fall. My team, The Jokers, were so awesome! They were all so friendly and I felt like I'd been friends with all of them for years! It was so hard to say goodbye to all of them at the end of the year party. When we met for the party, the coach had the best announcement that I've ever heard before. He said that our team moves on to regionals! We won every game throughout the whole season! We were excited to here that we moved onto playoffs(which comes before the regionals)! We won all three games on the Saturday and moved onto playing on Sunday! We lost the one game on Sunday, to the team that we beat once during the season and once the day before, which meant we took second at AYSO. There happened to be an opening which allowed us to be able to move onto the regionals, unfortunately our super good forward wasn't able to make it and neither was one of our other really good forwards and goalies! So for a couple of quarters a game we had to have one of our not so good forwards play forward. I play goalie, so it was a disadvantage to me cause I always play 1/2 game as goalie and now I had to play 3 quarters of goalie. I personally absolutely dislike goalie and don't know why they put me in it. I would much rather play forward or midfield. But of course, those are the two positions that I play the least. I basically play every position, which is very fun cause you get to move all over the place. I'm getting really off track..... So we went to the regionals and had a blast there. We totally acted like a whole bunch of sisters who absolutely loved each other. We did quite well in the games, considering we were without our two main forwards! We all miss each other tons! I've always had GREAT experiences with my teams and can't wait for fall to come around so I can play more soccer! The only thing that I don't really like about soccer is; I have bunions (which is a foot problem thingy). So it hurts to run for a long time, or do short sprints or whatever, but...I've decided that it's well worth the pain! I love every practice and every single moment I have with my team and pray that I'll never forget the great times I've had playing soccer! This past Fall I volunteered to be the assistant coach for my little sister, Sarah's team! I had a blast working with them and I will never forget what a great time with them I had! I love soccer and hope that all my kiddos (if I even have any) will play soccer! It's completely the best sport ever!
More l8ter!

I absolutely love pictures!

leopard loven ham

Well, you might be wondering how in the world I got my name for this blog. I actually got the leopard part because I totally love leopards! There the awesomest animal God created! I like other animals tons too though! The Ham part, doesn't really make any since at all. Erika and I, the super cool friend that moved to Arkansas, have these really lame nick names for each other, Ham and Cheese. And Leopard Loven Cheese, didn't make very much since at all so I ended up putting Ham instead. Not that that makes any more since at all. But, I know I could of come up with a better name, I was so excited that I actually was making a blog, that I didn't care about the name at all. Anyways, I know I chose a really dorky and lame name, but that's kinda how I came up with my blog name.
Write more later!

An update on my Family!

Well, I'm finally on my blog again and I decided that I should update you on my family again. My little sister is 9 and can't wait to turn 10 in early April! I'm 13 years and can't wait for drama practices! I enjoy every single one of them! I just found out who I am in our spring play and totally love my part! My older brother, Timmy, is 14 and attending Ridgeview High School. For his first time at public high school and has decided that there is tons of very strange people in this world. My oldest brother, Andrew, who is 18, loves going to The Masters College down in Santa Clareta. He absolutely loves sharing The Bible to other people. Actually, right now he is at the Mall, talking to random people and sharing the Gospel with them! My mom and dad...I don't really think that they would like me to tell you how old they are so I'll leave that out. Well, I don't have much else to tell you so, write more later!
