a day of sportsmanship!

today i am gnawing on the bit. here is my schedule-
12:00- take part in an intense game of soccer. (ouch! sprained my ankle. that Will hurt tomorrow!) the score was 5-2 for my team.
1:45-terry fox run. in which i ran 4k.
5:00 go to swim club, have tom ponting coach me. Tom ponting went to the Olympics 3 times and swam in the butterfly relay. he won 2 silvers and a bronze. i was surprised that he coached us on freestyle instead of butterfly.
7:oo- go to a wicked flames hockey game at the saddledome. we killed Florida. after the first period the just about switched from hockey to boxing. at the end i believe the score was 8-2 for the flames. my grandma will post some pics on her blog. www.thefamilycalledhyde.blogger.com

splish splash

Peirce's school is having swimming lessons at the pool right beside his school. i really wanted to get in the water. there was this guy there named Kenny. he was a grown up. he asked my mom, me and the lifegaurd if he could push me in. we all said yes.(even me) so after the kinder gardeners got out he pushed me and i felt great. it is hard to swim in clothes. hi hi hi. i went in with clothes and shoes. the water was warm.

Finally I Moved Up!

Today was the last day of swim club for the year. I achieve my goal to get to stage 4. We did 4 length of choice for warm up. I did breast stroke. Then we did a set of 40 50 m free. Then we played penguin. Then we played sharks and minnows. I did considerably well in that game. Then we had free time. I went off the board then I played with a pool noodle. After that my coach (Heather) gave me the good news. I was definitely more excited than the other girls. See, they didn't care much. Unlike me, who was hugging the coaches, dancing in the locker room, things like that.
Now I will be called as an actual competitive swimmer. I will swim 3 times a week instead of 2. I will go to so many more races. I remember Heather saying I was so focused and that I just kept my eyes on the prize.

missionary work

So, today at swim club i said hi to Carson's sister.(Carson is a little boy i know from swim club) then I saw Spencer Hudson from church. Carson's sister came over and asked me how i knew him. i said, "from church"
"are you Mormon?"
"ya"
"do you like being Mormon?"
"ya"
"Why?"
i understand why Jadean from my home school doesn't like being put on the spot! right then i couldn't think of a great answer so i said,
"because its awesome."
then mom pulled up so i left. later i started thinking.why do i like being a latter day saint?this is my answer-
this just makes me happy. When ever i read about the prophets in the magazines i just know he is living prophet of god.i like that the church wont make investigators believe. the church will encourage you not force you. i like that everyone in the church is like one big family. I like the feeling that i get after a great lesson. i like writing talks.
If you want to know more please let me know and it would rule if i got a bunch of comments on this post.

I Am Iron Man!

Today I made an iron man suit out of Styrofoam. I watched iron man the movie. It was great! I thought Penny Potts was pretty cool. I thought it was funny when Tony Stark uses his computer (in the suit) to shoot only the bad guys but in some parts I thought Tony was a little drunk. I think it was even better than Batman Begins (and that is saying something!) I definitely recommend this movie!

P.S. The blue circle is the heart piece that is keeping the shrapnel out of his heart.

us trip

In march i went on a trip to the united states. I stoped after the border to go to the washroom. But the first one after the border stunk! it was filthy. but they were selling the weirdest necklaces there. I was seriously tempted to buy one. they had real bugs trapped in this plastic bead! (they were dead) But i thought they looked to creepy. i knew mum would never let me ware it. so i waited till the next rest stop.
we got to our hotel. we went swimming. me and Jordan (my cousin who came along.) did this thing were we get in the hot tub till we get warm then we jump into the pool. jordy push we in once. ;)
one of my favourite parts of the hotel was the vending machine. i liked putting the paper into the machine. SLURP. It would eat up the paper dollar. all the candy was so inexpensive. I could buy candy for $.50! they have huge chocolate bars.
DAY 2
I woke up and we went to breakfast. There was an awesome breakfast. i had a waffle, peaches, rice crispy cereal, and OJ. I put straberry syrop on it. the rest of the day way extremely boring.(exept that i lost my hair brush) But I got some good pictures. (above)
