Happy New Year!

ITS 2011!!! the start of a new year. Making goals, and starting over again. Well for new years jess and the guys from the church went on a camp out! crazy, but the feedback was that they had a great time. They did guy stuff. Jess came back with bruises allover him and when we asked him about them he said "What do you expect, you sent me to a camp out with guys my age" hahahaha. Well i guess when they have their nerf swords they are going to get cuts and bruises. Well to backtrack, Mariel left for Utah on Wednesday. So for New Years, me, griffin, my father, and my mother went to a family friend's house, the Thompson family. we usually go there every year. On new years our Florida State played against South Carolina and won so we were pretty happy. We ate bunch of yummy foods and watched the ball drop. It was exciting!! then we left to go home. While we were there, Hillary went over Amie Olson's house to watch Gracie and Isaac because Amie and Jamie went out. Saturday morning, Hillary and my dad left to drive to Florida. They stayed over my uncle Butch and Aunt Rose's house Saturday night, then Hillary took my dad to Atlanta, Georgia airport and she drove the rest of the way by herself.

Hey Everyone! so there will be no pictures this week. Terribly sorry about that. But, you will get to hear about our week (= haha Well lets start on Tuesday. I had a Cross Country race. I wasnt worried about this race until we got there and they told us the course changed from the previous year. so this time we pretty much LITERALLY ran up a mountain. it was crazy. but I got 6th overall. which isn't too bad. Wednesday me and Jess had Youth activity at the church. I think he as well as his scout troop was workign on merit badges. and the young women and i were playing volleyball! yay. haha. okay then also wednesday, jess had a cross coutnry race. He was in first adn doing well then when they were in the woods he fell. but he still did well. he has cuts on his hands and stomach though. Then we were just busy with practice on thursday and friday. Then Saturday Jess and i had this HUGE Invitational Cross Coutnry race. But the top 7 on the high school team didnt run which means jess did not race. they didnt run because they have pre-states in a week. But i ran! the top 25 get a trophy and i got 20th. I was happy. then after the racea nd awards and everything we had our team/family picnic. it was way fun. Well today we had some close friends over for dinner. we went out to make s'mores and then it started raining. but that didnt stop Me, Gianna, Nina, and Gracie from sitting out there. and my dad and brother. Well thats all the news for this week. Byeee

Saturday morning we woke up and dressed in our church clothes we had breakfast and met in our chapel for a church movie and tesamony meeting. it was very spiritual. then it was time for us all to say good bye. we always dislike last days of these activities. me and jess miss them a lot.

Hey everyone. Well nothing happened this week. Today we had church. And at 5:30 there was a Court of Honor for the Scouts. Griffin's position in the troop was Senior Patrol leader. He was removed from that calling. Now Jess's new calling in the troop is Assistant senior patrol leader. At that court of honor they had the families come and we played a whole bunch of games. They were so much fun. So. We are all excited for when Whitney, Hillary, and Mariel come home for Christmas. I think i am the most excited because i have been the only girl and miss them terribly. When they are home we are going to be having so much fun! So Cross Country has ended. and the only winter sport that practice has started for is my Swim team. Which i am not swimming my best because of my ankle but i am getting better. Griff and Jess will be doing winter track. This winter jess will not be wrestling. Sorry i havent put any pictures up on this blog. We dont have any pictures because our camera broke. : ( Well email me with information about you guys or you can even leave a comment if you would like.

Alright so this weekend my mom, dad, and Jess and I went to Baltimore, Maryland. We went on Friday and stayed overnight. When we got there on Friday we first wanted to try and find the start and finish of all the races for Saturday. Once we did that we walked to the Harbor and looked around there. It was really cool. We saw the USS Constellation boat. So after we walked around there we started to walk towards where our car was. On the way we stopped to get Ben and Jerry's ice cream. it was SOOO good. Then we were trying to find our car but we werent sure exactly where we were so then we started walking the way we thought we should go and finally got there. So we went to our hotel which we stayed in Best Western. We checked in around 5:15. We were also in baltimore with another family. They were the Pitcavages. So we waited in our room until they got there and checked into their room. We then went downstairs and got some dinner. We got pizza. Then we all went back to the Pitcavages hotel room to eat. It was way to hott to eat in the restaraunt.After we ate and sat and talked for a while we went back to our hotel room and went to sleep. That morning my mom dad and brother jess left at 6:30 to get there for my mom to have enought ime to warm up and stretch for her marathon race. And Jess also got ready for his 5k race. I stayed in the hotel and went with John and Valerie. But before we left we stopped to get some free breakfast the hotel provided. It was so good. We had home made waffles and eggs. Well Valerie didnt because she was running the 1/2 marathon. When the pitcavages and I arrived there my mom had already been running for 45 minutes about. Which means she was around mile 4 1/2. My mom was doing great. While she was running the marathon Jess ran the 5k. He got 8th overall and there was like over a thousand people in his race. Then also during my moms race Valerie ran the half marathon. She did great. So finally at 12:30 my mom finished. she had ran from 8AM to 12:30pm. that is 4 hours and 30 minutes. She underestimated herself by an hour. She thought she was gonna run a 5 hour to 5 hours and 30 minutes. So unfortunatly we didnt get there in time to see her finish. Everything went great. The runners got a little shower of rain which they all said felt very nice. An my mom is actually up and moving. She is walking a lot better and is not as sore. After everyone stretched and was able to move we walked to our car and started to drive home. We met up with the Pitcavages to eat at Cracker Barrel. We had a lot of fun. Hope you enjoy these pictures.

eh a so/so week

2009-10-04T18:14:00.000-07:00

But other than that we have nothing else exciting. Hope everyone is well.

My Lovely week i have had

2009-09-20T12:28:00.000-07:00

Well the title of this post doesn't exactly suit what this is about. That is because i did NOT enjoy this week whatsoever.Monday night i had a soccer game. Jess actually happened to be the Referee of my game. During the game i was injured. I have a quality sprain. It isn't one of those sprains that like nothing is actually wrong. So i have not been able to run this whole week. And now that i am not running i miss it. haha. Then Saturday the cross country team had an Invitational. It was one of the most fun Invitationals because after we have a family picnic and all the kids play football. Of course i couldn't run or play football so i just sat and watched. Whitney Hillary and Mariel are also doing good. They are all at college and doing alright there. We hope everyone has been doing alright and we miss and love everyone..

Mariels Graduation

2009-06-07T11:39:00.000-07:00

Wow!! what an exciting time for mariel. She graduated her final

year of high school Friday June 5th. Throughout the ceremony

mom cried while us kids had smiles. jkjk we were very sad

as well. We do not want mariel to leave but we know she

will pursue her dreams as a diver very well at BYU. At the

end the seniors had firecrackers and confetti. It was great.

Many seniors were crying and of course the girls were crying

and hugging. It was so great. We are very proud of mariel. Aunt Linda was able to come which all of us loved to see her.

We had an amazing time.
