Summer! JUNE is Packed

Yay for summer. The first week I had the 4th year hike (for girls camp stuff). It was in Moab and it was HOT. Week 2 EFY! I had an AMAZING time and I met a ton of nice/cool people. Week 3 we went to California. First we went to Yosemite then to the coast (camping the whole time) then we had a family reunion. Week 4 I had Youth Conference. It was fun. The best part was repelling at Camp Williams. June has been CRAZY and I'm kind of (not really) glad it's over. I wish things would settle down a little but it's not going to happen. I doing cross country as a SOPHMORE. It starts at 7:00am (except on Thursdays we run at night) and I'm pooped.
Well I off to do more fun and exciting things.

Dance Company Try Outs!

Next year I start going to the new high school which means right now is the time to try out for different sports and other events. I took dance for 5-6 years (not in a row) and I really love it. I want to try out for dance company. It counts as a class so I'll have to change my schedule a little. I might not make it but at least it's good practice for trying out for next year. I'm really nervice and excited!

Time Flies When You're Having Fun!

This year me and Kali did Track and Feild at our school (Mapleton Jr. High). This has been my second season and it's Kali's first. It's been way fun. If you want to follow a little our track blog is mapletonjrtrack.blogspot.com. Yesterday we had a meet vs. Mt. Nebo and Spanish Fork Jr. High. I set my PR (personal record) for this year in the mile (1600m) and the 1/2 mile (800m). In the mile I ran a 7.56min. and in the 800m I ran about a 3.5min. Kali got a really bad cut in her toe over spring break and so she couldn't run. Great job mustangs! We only have 2 weeks left in this season which is really sad because next year I (and the 9th graders) go to the high schools. We have to leave all this but at least our coach is coming to MapleMountain High.

Happy 2009!

Happy 2009! Yay! Have a great year!

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Christmas was so great this year. I got a lot of fun things from friends and family. Some of the highlights are... 1 cake mix from my friend Casey. 2 Camera (I gave it to myself). 3 A really soft and cute quilt that my grandma Cluff made for me. 4 some cute make up up and lotions and stuff from "Santa". I also got a bunch more but I don't want to write it all. Have a great Holiday!

I love Cross Country

This year my friend convinced me to do cross country. It was amazing. I'm not the bunny rabbit who's in front but I was not in last (which was good). I hate that its over. Our team didn't lose any of our meets, and we took the district championship for the second time in a row (our school has only been open for 3 years and our first district meet we lost by a half a second :( ). I'm soooooooo sad its over but I'm looking forward to track. We had an amazing season! GO MUSTANGS!

I'M GOING CRAZY!!!

With school starting life has been a mess. I think that all of my teachers have a meeting were they plan when to give us all of our tests and huge projects or assignments, and of course just by accident they have all on the same day. I have been a busy busy bee latley. I just finished cross country a couple weeks ago. I started volleyball which is almost over. I have gymnastics. Not to mention that I'm drowning in HOMEWORK. Not to complain or any thing but I'm tired.

One morning last year my dad and I went on a morning drive to the other side of Utah lake. We were there when the sun rose. It was gorgeous! This is my favorite one that I took.

Bald Mountain

This is my adorable cousin Ryan.

This is a picture of me, my sisters, Kali, and Chloe, and my grandpa Cook. This picture was taken in 2004 but it has a picture of a mountain in the back of it. This particular mountain is called Bald Mountain. Last week we went camping for our Cluff family reunion. We had hiked this mountain the year before and decided to do it again. It was lots of fun. My cousins from Texas we're able to come with us. They had a little bit of a hard time. My aunt from Texas was carrying her 1 1/2 year old daughter who was screaming most of the time, and my uncle was carrying his 3 year old daughter who also was screaming most of the time. Not only we're they carrying kids on their backs but they came from around sea level to about 11,000 ft. and were having a little trouble breathing. My little cousin Ryan got a really bad headache and the only thing that kept him going was the bag of chips my aunt Julie promised him at the bottom. Though there were hard things on that hike we all still had a ton of fun. I think little Ryan sums it up nicely, "Now I can go and tell all my friends at home that I've climbed Mount. Baldy." He is just the cutest kid.

I LOVE SEMINARY

I love seminary. I been for two days and I already love it. We were doing roll call and when Brother Brouwer (I think that's his name) called out our name we had to say, "I LOVE SEMINARY" Anyways taking seminary is also going to motivate me to read my scriptures everyday.

First day of School

Today me and my younger sister Chloe started school. It was not fun at ALL. You know how the first day of school is. BORING, BORING, umm.... and more BORING!!! My classes are pretty good. In my Spanish class there are only like 6 or 7 ninth graders and the rest are eighth graders. There so little its really weird. In my health class I heard a story from my teacher. It goes something like this.
"(Yesterday was seventh grade day and only 7th graders went, but they didn't have to go today) You know those pour seventh graders are scared to death of you guys (9th graders)." next he basically said give um a break. "Yesterday there was a seventh grade boy standing in the hallway crying. I asked him what was wrong and he said that he couldn't get his locker open." Come here you "pansy" was what he thought. Anyways he helped him open it. I thought it was kind of funny but at the same time I felt bad for all the little 7th graders.
I like math because my friend is in there (Katie). Geography is interesting (for those of you who go to Mapleton you know all the weird/annoying/wannabee gangsta type people. Well a lot of them are in my class (and its humongous). But Mr. Wyatt is a great teacher so I think I'll just tough it out. I semi-like my honors English class. I thought my friend was in there but it turns out she wasn't and I was sort of disappointed. But I'll of course live. I like seminary but again I don't have many friends in there. I realized that people who don't act very good at school act very good act very good in seminary and one even volunteered to give the prayer. After seminary I have earth systems (which is a fancy way of saying science dun dun dun.) I don't personally like the teacher because he does useless stuff like giving a quiz on the disclosure document and class rules. To get our attention he rings chimes. Its kind of ... actually really weired. I feel like I'm treated like and 2nd grader.
Overall school was good, but I'm counting down the days till summer. But wait I don't want summer to come because after summer I go to the big high school dun dun dun. Oh well might as well get it over with.
