Ok, so yesterday we went up to Sierra Summit with bunches of friendies. I decided to try snowboarding for the first time...Wow! People make it look SO easy!! I took this lesson(with Timmy and Thomas, bc they were doing it for the first time too!) for an hour and a half. I barely did anything. ...and they didn't really teach me anything. So, that didn't help that much, but it definitely got me started! Then I went up the magic carpet and then after I could go down without falling I upgraded my self to the bunny hill. woo hoo!
The bunny hill wasn't that much of a challenge!! I went down with Katie and Megan and Sarah S...so much fun!! One really hard thing about the bunny hill was the rope lift thing. Timmy and Jesse were both left footed so it was super hard for them and they kept flipping over it and then getting all tangled up, very funny! But I still fell down tons going down. The bunny hill was part of what made my day a blast cause I got to hang out with MY friends! (instead of my brothers)
My dad finally convinced me to go down half of Academy and Oh My Goodness....It took me like 10 min. to get down the first little slope thingy!!! My arms were crazy tired!! (from getting up...) My dad was like, didn't they teach you how to turn and stop in your lessons. Nope, they didn't! So I was all on my own. I didn't really know how to turn or anything so I kept getting stuck in the soft snow and I couldn't get out!!! That was such a challenge! But I got back up and kept going and made it down the rest of the Academy. Fortunately, I kept improving down the rest of the hill. One thing I like about falling on the snowboarding is, it's normally super easy to get up! I don't like falling forward, like when you catch the front of your board and it just whacks you forward and you go straight down. That's no fun! The good thing is, it doesn't hurt very much. I went down the bunny hill a couple more times and then went down Academy and a little ways down we found some friends! So I went with them and rode back up with Jesse. Then Jesse, Luke, and Jacob finally convinced me to go down Fire Bowl, YIKES!!! I was snowplowing like all the way down(which took me a while to learn how to do)...They were all skiing, so I was a bit behind them. (Jesse switched to skiing after about 3 or 4 hours of snowboarding) I was totally surprised bc I only fell down once and (fortunately) that was a easy fall and get back up! But it took me a while to get down, cause I went really slow.
For those of you that have been down Academy, you know the long straight part at the end??? Well I had to walk almost that whole thing bc I couldn't get enough speed to make it all the way, bc I was a scaredy cat and had to slow down!! Anyways, I had a total BLAST snowboarding and will totally do it again next time! ...it was so much fun!

-I forgot to say, I'm right footed for those of you who want to know... I know I'm weird!
-Today I'm CRAZY sore in my arms! My legs aren't that sore but my arms hurt to do anything. Opening the frig was the worst thing I've done today!

Jennifer!
I'm finally getting around to writing about another one of my awesome friends! I don't have much time so I have to make it short and snappy!
Jennifer is a wonderful friend that I've known for quite a while! She is very tall and skinny, with pretty blond hair! Jennifer is absolutely amazing at ballet! She is also very good at clogging! I enjoy just spending time with her. Whether it's playing "dark", jumping on the trampoline, swimming, having a snack, or just talking, it's all a lot of fun! Oh yea, Jenni is also very good at swimming! Right now we're doing a Jr. Lifeguard class together, and that's been a lot of fun....especially with her! =D
Man, I have to go. So I guess I'll put a picture of her on later!
Have a wonderful day!

Erika...
Up above this post is a picture of Erika, she is a GREAT friend that moved out of state on June 10 of 08! We were very excited for them and also very sad that we were going to be loosing some VERY good friends. She has an older brother and a younger brother and sister! She has two wonderful parents that we always felt welcome around! Erika has been one of my closest friends for many many years! We have TONS of stuff in common! I have missed her and her family SO much these past 8 months! We still talk on the phone All the time and e-mail lots! I always get very excited when she calls or e-mails! I absolutely love sending her presents, because she is always so thankful and it gives me another chance to talk with her on the phone! I love every single thing about Erika and I'll never forget some of the great and embarrassing times I've had with her!-lol! I'll write more later!

Pirates of Parody
Another pic.!!
Another picture fo Bree!!
Brianna!!!
Ok, so it's time to write about another AMAZING friend of mine that God has blessed me with! This time, it's Bree! We have three different names for her, Brianna (when she's in trouble, jk jk), Breena (idk where that one came from) and Bree(which is what we say when we're lazy and can't say Breena or Brianna!) Wow, that was confusing! Anyways, I have known Breena for 3 1/2 years...I think...but anyways, the top 5 things that I like about her would probably be;1. She's very funny :P, 2. She's very friendly and you can always share anything with her! 3. Brianna has a lot of the same interests/hobbies as me! 4. She is very talkative! ...so now I'm not the only one...woo hoo! 5. Brianna sets a very good example for all of her friends! Wow, I could go on for so long about why I love Bree! My awesome friend enjoys acting, which is ABSOLUTELY WONDERFULLY GREAT!!! Bree plays tennis on Fri. mornings w/ me which is very very fun! -That's actually where I met her! Brianna has been a wonderful blessing and I am VERY thankful for such beautiful friends(both on the outside and the inside!)! I wish I could write more, but I have to go...so, I love ya Breena!

~We don't have a pic. of just Brianna, so she is the one that is in the bottom right w/ the hat on!-that picture was taken backstage of our Pirates of Parody play which was last spring! Her looks have changed since then, but there's just an idea of what she looks like :) ...and we all have TONS of stage make-up on, so that's why we look different too!...and on the other pic. it's after a performance too, so she doesn't have her bangs down and that's not the type of clothes she wears!!

Leopards!
I don't know if I ever mentioned how much I like leopards! Well your going to get the whole spill right now. I LOVE LEOPARDS!!! I have almost everything thing in leopard. It's awesome. I hadn't really known what the difference was between a leopard and a cheetah. I didn't really care what the difference was until I did a report on an animal. Well the library had more books on the cheetah then the leopard so I chose the cheetah. After that report I had a completely different view on the two animals. The cheetah fur is nothing like the leopards fur. Sorry all cheetah lovers but I absolutely dislike cheetah fur. Leopard is more of my type. Well I gtg to show my dad the difference between cheetah fur and leopard fur. bye bye!

~I'll just list some of my favorite things in leopard: My sheets, my sunglasses, my tennis shoes, my boots, my P.J.'s, my candle, my bear, my blanket, my shell, my hat, my ear warmer, my HUGE pillows, my wallets, my backpacks, my purses, my headband, my hair accessories, my decoration boxes, my socks, and EVERYTHING else, which is a lot!

We were SUPER disapointed we didn't make it to skiing. My dad said we might be able to go in April
I was totally bummed too! We missed you TONS!!! Yup, I hope you can go in April! (It would be after the show, woo hoo!!) Cya!

Hey Amy, skiing was so much fun! Man, you made snowboarding look EASY! Seriously, I am not joking. I saw you go down the academy, and I agree, it was pretty hard. O my gosh, I can't believe this. My brother and I left my dad behind on the academy because he was falling after every single hill, and then we couldn't find him until an hour later! It took him so long to get down! We were worried, but thank goodness he was okay. Well, I had a fun time, but I am sore from head to foot. Are you? :D
Love the background!
Hey! Oh my! Your poor dad! Well, I'm glad he was fine! I was on the ground SO much! ...and, I feel like I made it look extremely hard! I kept falling! OH, was I sore or what!!!All over my WHOLE body! :P
