track season has started!

monday- they talked to us about food and what we should eat and then they had us run 20 min

tuesday- we did time trials for the 100 and 200 meter dash, i did horrible! I AM NOT A SPRINTER!

wednesday- we did stations, medicine balls, hurdles, jumpropes, jumping, and skipping things

thursday- we split into two groups, sprinters and long distances. I was a long distance runner of course :) long distance people ran for 20 min. then we did build ups and then we did an indian run for our cool down.

friday- we did the P90X plyometrics

dear mother nature,
i am so tired of seeing the boring, ugly, leafless trees outside. i really want it for be warm outside. i also want pretty leaves to start growing on the trees, and for the flowers to start blooming. in general any green would be GREAT! some temperatures higher than 40 would also be AMAZING! and i love a slight BREEZE, not WINDS. another thing that i would love is if it could rain. i love a nice spring shower! the guidelines: lighting and thunder are KEY ingredients, it also has to smell like it has rained. one more thing, if you wouldn't mind make it so that i could open my window after school so i could get a nice BREEZE throughout my room that would make my day! thanks for under standing my concerns.

dear efy and youth conference people,
why do you have to schedule BOTH efy and youth conference the SAME week? i think this is crazy. do you know how many kids want to go to BOTH? do you know how many kids you are telling that they can only go to one or the other. did you know that you are telling kids that they need to choose between one church camp or another church camp? do you know that you are making me cry? did you know that i am not very happy because me and my friend wanted to go to both and now we cannot because they are the same week? why do this to me.....

Rebekah was my model today. we got some good pictures.

i absolutely love these shoes, and the way she is looking....

this is a total rebekah moment, her nose is all crinkles up and she is showing off her big smile

Walking in a Winter Wonderland..... (finally)
We have had about 12 inches all together! And we have enjoyed the snow AND the snowdays IMMENSELY!




Our driveway was covered in snow...it looked so pretty. I feel like i am looking into a snow globe when i look at this picture.





One of the snowdays when the weather was really nice we went sledding. Some people were outside for hours....LITERALLY!

Then on one of the COLDEST most FRIGID days we pulled out the 4-wheeler and got pulled on the tubes... F-U-N!

me, dad and casey spent the day snowboarding on wednesday... and here are some pictures that kinda look like the day that i had.....

i kinda fell getting offof the lift countless times...i dont even want to think about how many times..

this is what i looked like when i was doing pretty good....normally it was for intervals at a time

and this is what i looked like when i wasn't doing so great....

* i did NOT take these pictures *
