Tournaments

Hello everybody. Today I am going to tell you guys about my volleyball tournament of 2013.

So I play volleyball at the rec. center on the team called Teal Tornadoz. There are 8 teams total. Teal, red, blue, green, orange, gray, white, and gold. We have practice twice a week and games on Saturday. We have played every team in the league. Yesterday was the tournaments. We played red twice. We lost both games;(. So we were out for the rest of the tournament.

We just practiced and watched the other girls play. The championships were white and gold. We watched the game and most of us cheered for white but gold won. Our team was just added this year. So nobody from our team has ever played before. All the other teams had returning players. Coach Ernie said he was proud of us for trying. Then after the championships was the all stars game. I call that game the skittles because they take two people from each team and they make two separate teams against each other.

So after the skittles finished we went to the mason gym. All the teams had pizza there for dinner. They also presented awards at the mason gym. Every girl got a medal for being there. Gold got shirts for winning championships. Then Red got little trophies for winning the most non-tournament games.

Im sad the season is over. I'll miss volleyball and everyone I played with. They were all so nice and fun especially Coach Ernie and Coach Kayla. ;(

Baby Sitting

Baby Sitting

Hello everyone! Today I am going to talk about baby sitting Madeline. Madeline is a friend of ours daughter.

Madeline is almost two. She will be two in February. I'm so extremely sad that she can walk and sort of talk. I don't want her to grow up ever!! Anyway Beth and Scott were going out on a date so we got to watch her. So when they left Madeline took me to her library and picked three books out. They were all about Biscuit the dog. She made me read each one six times. I had them memorized by the end.

Next we played around with her a little and gave her a bath. It was wet, and not just for her. Then we combed her hair and put lotion on her. We dressed her and mom got her milk. She is growing to fast she held her bottle all by herself!! I need to stop her from growing. I need a plan. I sat in the rocking chair with her and read some more books.

Then me and mom put Madeline in bed. Then we went down stairs. We started making yo-yo's. Yoyo's are not just a bounce toy. The yoyo's we made were fabric circles used to decorate things. I only got to make four. Then Beth and Scott came home. Madeline just fell asleep 10 minutes before they came home. We talked for a while and then left.

I had a great time. I want Madeline to stop growing!! It makes me sad.

Daddy's Party

Daddy's Party

Hello everybody. Today I am going to tell you about my Dads birthday party. He had it yesterday, but his actual birthday is today. Anyway he turned 44 today! So Happy Birthday Dad.

My Mom and I spent all day cooking up a storm. We made spinach dip, macaroni, meatballs, hamburgers, hot dogs, green beans, and cup cakes. Then we set up the back yard. There were chairs all around the fire pit. Anyway the party started at 6:00 p.m. We invited some of Dads friends. Scott and Beth were the first ones to arrive. Mario was right behind them. We went to the back yard and then came Larry, Alex, Caleb, Steve, and his family. Then for a while we just hung out while mom grilled hamburgers. Then Matt, Toney, Joshua, and Jordan. Then we brought the food out as two other families came.

Everybody enjoyed the feast for a while. After that all the kids were fighting with nerf weapons. All of the men were checking out dads comic book room. The girls were all talking to each other. Mom started up the fire and everybody sat down for a while. Mom sent me in for something and I realized we forgot about cup cakes! So I brought them out and every body swarmed me.

We all ate our cup cakes happily and quietly around the fire. My dad and Mario were opening his present. It was an Air Jordan orange jacket that Mario had sewn Aquaman patches on. (He is a good sewer don't worry.) Dad really seemed to like it. By then there was only like two families left. Mario couldn't bring his family because his wife is pregnant and almost due.

It seemed like Dad had a great time. I really loved it. I hope this is his best birthday yet.

Camping

Hello everybody. Today I am going to tell you about my camping trip. I went camping with my my Aunt, Uncle, cousins, and family. We like to go camping at Rocky Gap State Park. It is in Maryland about an hour away from us.















We went there on Friday afternoon straight from school. We got there at around 6:00 pm. Aunt Robyn and the rest got there at about 11:00 pm. (They live in New York). We set up everything that night and had hot dogs for dinner. Then we went to sleep in our sleeping bags. The next day we saw Andrew, Isaac, Aunt Robyn, and Uncle Dave. My brothers, cousins, and I went into the woods to explore. We did that for a while and then came back. We had pancakes and bacon awaiting us. After breakfast we explored some more and then we went hiking.















We went hiking on the Lakeside Loop trail. We didn't do the entire trail but we did a good bit then we headed back for lunch. We just ate sandwiches and then we went to the beach. We went swimming and kayaking. I went with Isaac and Aunt Robyn in the kayak. It was a lot of fun. after that we went back to our cabin's. we just hung out and talked and did more exploring for a while. Then we ate dinner. We had a huge dinner of hamburgers and corn.















The next day we were packing and exploring all morning. When we left the campgrounds we went on another hike. This one was through the woods to a dam that was holding back the lake. It was a super fun trail. Then we hiked all the way back. Then we went strait to a restaurant. I can't remember the name of the restaurant but I only give it a two and a half stars. I had a super fun time and I already miss Aunt Robyn, Uncle Dave, Isaac, and Andrew.

I loved camping and taking pictures. It was a lot of fun and I want to go again soon. I miss everyone.

Vermont Trip

Hello people. Today I am going to tell you about my families trip to Vermont. In Vermont we were visiting our grand parents. I hate the trip because it takes thirteen and a half hours to get there.

So we got to Vermont on Wednesday at 4:30 pm and we left by 5:00 am. For dinner we ate pork and zucchini muffins. The next day we decided to go to Best Buy and Chutters. First we headed to Best Buy. My dad had just set up a new iMac for them. Their printer was too old to work with the iMac so they went for a new printer. So after Best Buy we went to Chutters. Chutters is the worlds longest candy counter. We got a lot of candy there. After that we just looked around for a while. Then we went back to my Grandparents house.

My Dad helped my Grandma learn more about her computer. The next day we went motor boating. Ashton was the first one that went in the tube behind the motor boat. I love tubing. Ashton went three times and got flipped two times. Alex also went three times but he didn't go fast enough to wipe out. I went twice and didn't wipe out. Mom also went twice and the first one she had an amazing wipeout. The second time she just took it slow. Dad never went, neither did my Grandparents. Dad sat in a floating chair in the water for a while. We also had lunch on the island.

The next day we didn't do much. Almost all day Dad and Grandmama worked on the iMac. A little after lunch we went to shop at antique stores. My Grandma loves antiques. Her whole house is decorated with them. Every night after dinner we watched a show called Duck Dynasty. It was hilarious. It's on the channel A&E. If you love hilarious shows go watch an episode and see what you think.

I had a great time in Vermont. Thanks Grandmama and Grandaddy. The trip was worth the thirteen and a half hour drive.
