HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEAGAN

Yesterday was Meagan's birthday and since I didn't remember to post or call I'm posting now. So happy birthday Meagan. I love you!

Football and Softball

Yesterday we had the first football and softball games [not scrimage] of the season. Woohoo!! I don't play softball but most of my friends do so I went to watch them and pretty much all of my guy-friends in 7th grade play too. In softball they kicked butt, they played so awesome. Either that or Show Low is just really bad but I think they were great. The cougers only made it to base once but they never made it home. The final score was 13-0 St. Johns.

The football team though didn't do as well. They played good they just didn't play as good as Show Low. We lost 34-12, I found out today that both touchdowns were made by Spencer. We were so proud of him. Mr. Raykovitz asked Kadee,Taylor, Lauren, Riley [Raban], Brandon [Price] and me to do the chains and downs. Taylor did the downs the whole time and Riley, Brandon and Kadee switched off with the chains. Brandon and Kadee were doing it most of the time. The only bad thing about doing the chains was that we were doing it on the away side of the field so we were right in front of the Show Low football team. Riley pretty much just made friends with them but they started really annoying me mostly because they were all saying how good they were and how bad we were. I just wanted to turn around and punch them, except for number 1 and that number 34 kid cuz he was pretty cool. Number 1 was really the only hot one of their team [I know you were all wondering ;)]. I think that our team will get better because our grade is really good but I think they were all just sorta nervous for the first game. Or maybe not, I don't know.

Super Sunday

Today while we were watching the Olympics after church my mom started to hand out church magazines for us to read. She handed me this month's New Era so I got some colored pencils and my scriptures. I started to read a couple stories then I got to an article by John Bytheway called 5 Scriptures That Will Help You Get Through Almost Anything. I started reading and looking up the scriptures. I got to scripture two and decided that I wanted to give a FHE lesson on this because it was so good. So I told my mom that I would prepare the lesson then I got my Personal Progress book because there was a goal I wanted to pass off during my lesson. I also got the hymn book because I needed to pick out my two favorite hymns, memorize them and the conducting patterns, and conduct them during FHE. So I did the Personal Progress goal and moved on to my lesson. I started re-reading the article and the farther I got into it the more I liked it. I marked all of the scriptures for future reference and now I think I have a pretty darn good lesson prepared. I really liked reading my scriptures and the New Era this Sunday and I think I'm going to start trying to do this every Sunday. I can't wait to teach my family about what I learned and bare my testimony of the scriptures to them. And hopefully let them see that chocolate chip muffins really are good. :)

7th Grade!!!

So it's a bit late but at least I'm posting it. xD School started on Monday. This year I'm in the 7Th grade and it's so much better than all the other grades aha. I really like it because your not stuck in the same classroom all day so the day just goes by faster. And I see all of my friends even if they aren't in my classes in the hall when we're switching classes. So on the first day of school I was super excited for school because summer was getting really annoying. Everybody was nervous about being able to unlock their lockers and get to class fast enough but it really isn't that hard except that I have a top locker so the person under me is always sorta in the way but I still manage. I don't really have any stories yet but the year just started so maybe later. Mr. Eisley does tell some pretty good stories but why repeat all of them? He did tell me one about the time he hit Mandi in the head with a tootsie pop and it bounced off her head across the room. That was because he noticed my last name on a paper that he handed out with questions about us and one about what we want to know about Mr. Eisley. I decided to be funny and so I put down "What kind of toothpaste do you use?" He didn't say anything about it until after he read my name.

24th Celebrations Yo!

So yes it is pretty late and I don't have pictures. But we did have 24Th fun stuff in SJ. First of all we had the rodeo. And I was there for the WHOLE thing. Then almost at the end I was in the grocery race with Sandra and Stormy. We didn't exactly place but at least we finished this year. Ok so we fell off at the very end and I almost got stepped on but we still finished. Then right after the rodeo ended we went to the ice cream social. We were pretty late so they didn't have very much ice cream but we still got some. Later that night like after the ice cream some dudes invited us [Sandra, Stormy, Charlotte, and ME] to go play 007. So we went to the Frazier's house to meet them but they were already gone so we called Stacy Frazier [Eli's mommy] and asked where to meet up with them. She told us where the finish place was so we went to the High School to wait. The spot lighters kept driving by and when Chief Zieler stopped we had to explain to him that we were only about an hour late so we weren't really playing. Then some other peoples drove by and we told them that we saw some of the "hiders" out in the field and they like stopped and circled around right there so they couldn't get to base. Then somebody else screamed on another rode so they left. Like right after they left Spencer, Garrett, and Spencer's cousins got to where we were. So then we went with them in the back of a truck to try to find the rest of the peoples to tell them the game was over. When we got back like everybody was there. So after that night was the dance. I danced with like 2 guys and Chris made fun of me, it was NOT nice. ;] So that was my 24Th story, the short version.
