This week there have been lots of performances:
Good thing I played the same song for all three events! Sadly, though, Mom and Dad forgot the camera for recitals, and when they brought the video camera to Y.A., it had a dead battery. That is the sad part, but, there's always next year. *sigh*
It's been really cold here, and that means car rides to school. Also, it means the start of a new subject in P.E.: aerobics. It's really fun, especially with all the lights turned off in the gym with a huge projection on a huge screen on the the wall of Richard Simmons and "Sweatin Land". Or "Sweat to the Oldies", or something like that. Next week we're doing pilates with mats, and once or twice I've walked by the gym and there have been 70 step platforms lined up in rows. Last week we did kickboxing, which was really fun, and a good workout. More coming soon!
Lots of things have happened lately, but pretty much the coolest one was we got a Wii! It is really fun to play and a good workout. It's almost just like playing the game in real life, except in boxing, you might not have a chance of winning at all in the real world.
During the car ride to Idaho, we passed Hoback Junction, which had some beautiful mountains. I was in the front seat, so I was the photographer of the trip. This one is my favorite-
I've been gone for a long time, but I'll start posting at closer and more regular intervals.
Here are some pictures of Brenna and Alastair from our trip to Catherine's for Thanksgiving:
Sadly, there is a smudge on the lense right over Alastair's right eye in the upper picture.
Here are two black and white ones:
I decided on getting the Zune mp3 player! And I am very exited and broke. Until last night, when I babysat for six hours. Here is me very happy with my Zune.
I'm only $20 away from getting the new ipod nano. I am pretty exited about it, and can't wait. I have done my research- read reviews, ect. The one I want to get is either the blue or red one on the left. And the nice thing is that I earned it all by myself. It's a good feeling. Yep. More to come!
And of course one of Alice! And of course she's reading Harry Potter!
Last Friday was the 8th grade's trip to hartman, and we got to sign up for what stuff we wanted to do there. My first one that I picked was photography. Why wouldn't I? I got some pretty cool shots, I think...
I also did beach sculpting, and making beaded bookmarks and cool notebook covers. After I got home, 2 hours later it was time to go to NIJO- Northern Iowa Junior Orchestra. That went from 5-7 pm, and then I went straight to the UNIdome to watch the Tiger game with my friends. The Tigers played West and won. I can't remember the finishing scores, but I do remember they won by a landslide. And that was my Friday.
