Childhood Birthdays

One birthday I remember really well. Was my 9th birthday. The week before my birthday all the Barbies went on sell. Everyone decided to give me a Barbie for my birthday. I ended up receiving 9 Barbies that day. It was crazy. Something else I remember about my birthday that year was my cake. My Grandma made my birthday cake. When she made it she took a Barbie and undressed it, then stuck it in the center of a dome cake. Then she decorated the cake and the Barbie like a dress. The cake was the poofy skirt of the dress and then she drew the bodice onto the doll. I was ecstatic when I saw it. it was amazing.

Birthdays

Everyone had a birthday. Some people don't celebrate it like others do. My family makes a big deal when it comes to birthdays. We always have lots of cake, presents, and of course the Happy Birthday song. For my birthday this year some of my friends and family and I went bowling. It was a lot of fun. I still lost, but I had fun. One tradition we always have is we sing the Happy Birthday song. I always like this song. I'm not sure why, I just do. I guess it just makes me feel special for a few minuets. I always love birthdays.

The Internet

I spend a lot of time online because I am always doing homework, that requires research. I also am on my email a lot because I am very busy with school and sports that I don't have a lot of time to talk to or call people so I keep in touch with a quick email. I am glad I have the Internet as a source of communication, without it I wouldn't be able to talk with most of my friends.

April Fools Day

April 1st is know as the day of pranks. One prank that I'll never forget took place on my church's mission trip last year. The girls had been joking around about playing a prank on the boys so the boys joked back that they were going to sleep naked so the girls wouldn't play a prank on them in the night. Well as the day went on the guys decided that it would be really funny to "sleep naked". They decided to pull their shorts up and cover up with a blanket, to make it look like they were naked, then they placed a pair of boxers beside them to make it really look like they were naked. Well, the girls found this out, when we went in to "play our prank" we took video cameras and recorded the boys, in order in get back at them. It was very interesting. Needless to say we didn't tell the others at the church, that way they would let us go on another mission trip.

Henderson Track Meet

This weekend was my first official tract meet for the season. It wasn't to bad. It was really windy so every one's time were slow. I ran the 4x800 relay. it was OK, but the hand-offs were awful. My hand-off to Kat was the worst of the three hand-offs. I start to hand the baton to Kat and the girls beside us(trying to get off the track) runs right into us. She almost knocked the baton out of our hands. Then she just stood there between us and wouldn't move. Kat and I had to stop and I had to hand her the baton, because we were at the end of the exchange zone. Later in the day I ran the 300 hurdles. It was fun. The first 100 was kind of hard because we had a 30 mph head wind. But other than the couple of bad things that happened during the races everything went pretty well.

Once Upon a Dream

Every year the Advance Chorus combines with the Special needs class to preform a musical. The special needs kids act out the parts and the chorus sings the songs. This year the play that we are preforming is called Once Upon a Dream. It is like the Disney movie Cinderella. The special needs kids have worked very hard on there parts and the chorus has worked very hard on the songs. I can't wait until we preform it tomorrow. It will be a lot of fun and very rewarding for all those who take place in it each year. I have participated in the last two years and they both have been very rewarding for me. This one I know will be just as rewarding.

What do you wish you could take the time to do?

If I wasn't busy with school and could do whatever I wanted, I would hang out with my friends. Right now I am always doing homework or running so I don't have very much time to hang out with my friends. I get to see them on the weekends, but that is about it. I would also, spend as much time outside as I could. I love being outside. There is just something about the bright sun, the fresh smell, and the grass between my toes that I just can't resist. When I was little I loved playing at the park and having picnics; with extra time I would be able to go to the park and have a picnic with my friends.
