Griffeth peak

Yesterday me and my dad woke up at 5:30 with the scouts and went on a hike up at mt. Charleston called griffeth peak. It was very hard, long, and steep. Our hiking merit badge director told us that it was harder than havasupia. But i'm all packed and stuff. I've got my back packing backpack. It weighs around 18 pounds without the water. It'll be around 27 pounds with the water. I'm leaving monay after noon and coming back wensday night. It is going to be so fun! Today was same old. The only thing that was different was that I messed up a little bit when I was passing the sacrement. But yep... Cya

I 'm blogging on my phone! They have this go mobile thing on blogspot now! It cool what you do is send an e-mail to blogger and then the rest is done for you pretty cool. And all phones have e-mail even the 10.00 one's! I think it's awesome.

i'm having trouble with these 2 pics. so u can just turn your computer side ways. but i went to a concert and the dickel bus is the main guy's bus. and then the red bus is the other guys bus.

my mom picked some apricots from the fair grounds. and then she made some jam. my grandma forrest entered in the fair and my mom won 40 bucks!

they had a rock clmbing thing at the fair and logan was all over it, litteraly!

i could not blog last night cause we went to a concert. charley jinkens opened up for darley worley. i was really fun. i really wanted some nachos. but instead during intermission we just went home and got something to eat. it was really really cold. right now its raining. and i finished the looking glass wars yesterday. i can't wait for the next one to come out, seeing redd. but so today i started breaking dawn. it's better than everyone says. i'm on chapter 3. yesterday, i got a one day pass for the rides. my siblings got 3 day passes. i could only get a 1 day cause we didn't have enough money. but i don't care. megan showed her pig yesterday. and thats pretty much it. the fairgrounds are litteraly right across from our house. it's really nice. but that pretty much sums it up.

hi, yep i'm blogging again. can you believe it! it's probly going to be a reguler thing now. first, something i forgot to say last night is that i'm 12 now and so i got the aaronic priestood. i get to pass the sacrament now and really really like it. just wanted to add that. now for today. today i read a ton. i'm reading this book called the looking glass wars, it's really good. i'm about half way through it. my mom is reading breaking dawn. for those that don't know what that is <> it's the fourth book in a series, the best series in the world. i'm a little mad cause i really wanted to read it first. she keeps saying how good it is and its making me mad. so i read for a long time this morning and then i helped my mom make a chinese chicken salad. then we ate, of course. then after that we went out to the mercintile and played minituare golf. we also went to the bargian barn. i wasn't really impressed with it though. finally, we went to the shake shak. it was really good, i got a strawberry banana shake. later that day we went to the fair. we wenet to the little miss and mr. san jaun. i went home cause i didn't like it. it was hot and i couldn't here anything anyone was saying so i just walked home. my grandma entered my moms homemade apricot jam in the fair. and, well that pretty much sums up the entire day.

so here i am sittling in the family room of my gr gr forrests house, watching dragon tales and blogging on thier laptop. as most of you know i haven't bloged for weeks mainly because i'm lazy..... oh and i'm not really watching dragon tales, my brother is. i'm just going to do a little recap of the last few weeks. i think that the first exciting thing that happened since i've last blogged, is well... ah, yes contacts. yep i have cantacts now. there really great, i love em'. and well i think that pretty much sums that part up. the next thing is going to have to be my birthday. my birthday was great! awesome! wonderful! amazing! and well i could go on but i chose not to. i had at the mohlers house. i just invited all my friends over and we had a water balloon fight and we swam and played rockband <> and then we played tag in the dark. witch was incredible in a pitch black 3 story house, you woulndn't believe how fun that was. now to the presents. all my friends gave me about $20. my parents gave me rockband and an ipod holder, ipod speaker that are waterproof and completely conceal your ipod so you take it to the pool or the beach. finally, last but most definetly not least my mom gave me a box of trevors stuff and this asome book with letters and stuff like that in it. that was awsome! useing some money that was saved up and the money that my friends had given i bout a new phone cause my old phone got ruined at sea world on the shipreck rapids ride. but this new phone that i have now is awesome. its a texting phone and it has bluetooth, internet, gps, and i don't mean to brag but i could go on, but once again i chose not to. and agian once again here i am watching dragon tales still, blogging.

scout camp 08'

yesterday (Saturday) i got home from scout camp. we left on Wednesday, at 4:30 in the morning. i was very tired. Tue. night we had a pack check at our house and we loaded everything on to my dads trailer. Wednesday when we got there we arrived at the tagerts ranch. the tagerts are some people in our ward, it is also where we camped. the tagerts ranch is up past Alamo, by lund. we didn't exactly camp at the tagerts ranch we camped in a little place by the tagerts ranch. the first day we set up camp and had a flog ceremony. we also went over wood cutting and how sharpen axes, which we all already knew cause we all had our tote'n chips. we also reviewed first aid, already did that too. and reviewed how to fold the flag and proper respects of the flag. the tagerts also had a little fishing pond at the ranch so we could go fishing too. so that day we went fishing also. everyone but me and a few other kids didn't have fishing poles. unfortunately my dad was in charge of the whole thing and did not have time to get our fishing poles, and we went fishing everyday, i not mad though i understand that he had a lot to do. that first day we were also split into patrols. (the picture of the four kids is my patrol + me) we did some competitions with the patrols and the meals were split with the patrols. finally that night we made a camp fire and talked tell about 10:00 p.m. the next day we woke up- i had slept really bad the first night cause i was cold- and one of the patrols made breakfast not sure which one. oh, and each patrol had a name and yell, our name was the wood chucks and our yell was how much wood would a wood Chuck Chuck if a wood Chuck could Chuck wood. but that day we kinda just hung out. i think we fished alot that day. then later in the day we went to a warm spring. it was so much fun! even though we could not sub merge our Head under water because of amoeba. but it was still fun. there was little fish and there was also craw fish in the warm spring. after that i think we went home hung out had dinner- of course - and went to bed around 9:30pm. this night i slept really good because my dad brought an extra sleeping bag and gave it to me. this second night i slept really good. in the morning we had breakfast and then we went down to the tagerts ranch and did our horsemanship merit badge and my rifle merit badge. oh, and all these times we've gone fishing we've been working on our fishing merit badge. for the fishing i learned how to put hooks and lures and all kinds of stuff on fishing rods. very use full for all the times we went fishing. for the horsemanship badge we had to sattle a horse and ride it, we also had to bridle it and lead it. for the rifle we had to get three shots really close together. it took me two sets of five shots to pass. it was fun. then we had lunch and hung out and fished. then we had dinner and sat around the camp fire and told scary stories. our scout leaders told us they heard something in the Forrest. i automatically knew they were kidding and went along with it. but there was this youth leader there named Chet prince, he is Danny princes sun, not sure if you know him grandpa Stewart knew him so.. but my dad said " someone go turn that lamp off over there" and I'm like okay, so i start walking up to the lamp and Zach stare and Chet prince start walking up behind me and i get a little bit there and then look really scared and say holy crap and i run back, Chet prince screams like a little girl. he's the last person you'd think to get scared, it was awesome! there was this kid Caleb Aldrich. he was such a baby. he cried about everything literally cried. and that night we were telling scary stories her was shaking so bad and chewing on a bowl. we were just like omg.. and on clean up day i had to put his tent down for him and fit his air mattress into his box. and we were wiping tables down and stuff and on of the kids asks him to help and just looks at us weird and says no, and walks away. me and one of my friends had to load his stuff onto the trailer when we left. he was just lazy that's all.. but i had a really fun time and i can't wait for the haveasupie scout camp in august.

p.s. the third day i finally go tot use a fishing rod and my dad rigged it up for me. i caught a fish and had to gut it my self. i thought i was going to throw up! what i had to do was take my knife and cut into the poop hole and up to the mouth. then i had to cut the gills and then, here's the gross part i had to stick my finger in its neck and tear it down through the body which tore out the organs......really gross!

5 mile hike

today at 7:00 am me and my scout troop went on a five mile hike. it was crazy!! we went up to red rock and passed of the badges.man i was so tired!! we did some orienting with our compess and a map. this hike was the hardest hike i have ever done! my friend brought and container for lizards, he cought 6. there was many more but they were fast. one of my leaders teased him and said"watch out there's a rattle snake!" jacob just said"were i want to catch it!" we had to do alot of climbing and stuff so my shirt my boxers and my pants got torn now. i'm really mad at myself cause we just got those clothes and i really liked them! don't ask how my boxers tore! but it was really fun and we got to a few little streams were there was frogs and stuff. it was fun, i got to hold some frogs and lizards. i got a few scrapes on my arms too. there's only about 3-4 that actually cut the skin. over all i had lots of fun.

this is me, logan, and kenady playing with the swords that i was talking about. and yes gr we did finish the project,obliviously

we just got back from st. George yesterday, it was alot of fun. we went up there for great grandma obre's b-day party. it was alot of work but grandma obre loved it. we had sandwiches with some really goo meat balls. my mom made Chinese chicken salad and it was goooooooood. hiedi made frog eye salad and that was gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood. Candice made the spaghetti. me and Hayden were trying to avoid work as good as we could but we weren't that good at it.we went swimming and i watched i am legend, that is a very scary movie! we played laser tag and that was fun. we had to force Logan to play. cause he wanted to do mini golf, but i would've had to do that too. so we talked him into laser tag. he loved it but he wouldn't leave my side and he couldn't be quiet so he kept giving away my hiding spot! but it was still fun. Saturday after the party me and Hayden were having a really hard time deciding what to do. finally we decided to make swords. so we looked for PVC pipe and got it down. then we asked my mom to take us to wall mart to get duck tape and pool noodles. my mom said yes. me and Hayden put all out money together to do this and ended up broke! but it was fun. i know that i had alot of fun at the grossmans house and it was fun throwing great grandma obre a birthday party!

molly!!

on sunday we where on our way to the dog park with the grossmans. april was taking us. me and hayden where sitting in the front of the truck and kenady logan and garrett where sitting in the back. we where about half way there when i look out the window, where all laughing at molly cause her tounge was waving in the wind. then all this sudden molly flys out of the truck! we're still not sure if she jumped out of the truck or fell out. molly is too much of a scaredy cat to jump out of the truck but who knows. so when we see her fall out we pull over and me and hayden jump out. hayden goes and stops the one guy on the road the one behind us and i call molly. molly comes runny straight to me luckily. i put the leash on her and help her back into the truck. april says i should sit in the back with her, so i do. once we got there i realized that there was blood in the back. so i yell there's blood back here. april comes back and finds the spot on her paw where it is bleading. so we took her home, we can't really take her to the dog park when she's bleading. everythng is okay. i took molly for a walk this morning and her paw is fine.

yesterday night we got out the lawn mower. my mom taught me how to mowe the lawn. our grass looks really good. it was kinda fun. after i get a little more practice i want to put up flyers for lawn mowing for 5 dollars. i don't know if thats too little or too much prob too little but i am still going to stick with it.

las vegas youth orchestra

my orchestra teacher told us about the las vegas youth orchestra. she said if you go to www.lvyo.org than you could make an appointment and audition. all you have to do is make an appointment and then print out the audition music. so i checked it out, see if i want to do it. and want to do it so a printed out the music and i've been practicing it for a few days now. i hope i make it. i don't meen to brag but i think i'm getting really good at the cello. and piano i've gotten really good at. i'm getting kind of cocky with piano. not to that point with the cello though.

last saturday i was playing three flags up with my friends. one of my friends threw the ball to me and it missed my glove and hit me in the face. leaving me with a nose that can't be blown and a incredibly big lip.

quote of the day

one of my teachers at school read us a quote by president gordon b. hinckley it said "talent is not the miracle, work is the miracle in which talent is brot to the surface."

scout sleep over

last friday we had a scout sleep over at the collins. they are some people in our ward. it was a lot of fun. they had all the newest technology! they had an x-box 360! they had rock band for the x-box 360. rock band is a game were u make a rock band. it comes with drums, bass guitar, electric guitar, and a mic to sing. so u have to have four people to play. i played bass guitar and sang most of the time. cause bass was kinda easy and i kinda sucked. and mic couse i wasn't completly tone death and i was really getting into it.we were up tell 2:00 am playing rock band. for dinner we had like 16 little ceaser pizzas and aton of breadsticks. it was so good. brother collins said that he didn't think we could eat allt hat pizza and soda. but trust me we proved him wrong.in the morning we had sausage, hashbrowns, and pan cakes. they were really good. i didn't go home tell around lunch time witch for us was around 11:00 am. my mom just said basically to call her when i was ready to come home. this was the funnest scouting activities we have ever done.

camp out

firday night we went on a little camp out. we went by the church in the dessert. we went to walmart adn bot a burqett thing adn we roasted hotdogs and marshmellos it was really good. it was just me my dad and my brother cause my mom adn my sister went to st. goerge for the day. i wanted to have friends over but my dad said no. i think he said no cause he wanted to do something with just us while the girls were out. we had alot of fun.

today i had a good day. i woke up at 6:30am. i took a shower, had bananas in milk, English muffin, and a little bit of ham. after i did everything that you do to get ready for school. at school most of my teachers have already started the written portion of final exams. my hand has been hurting all day! my mom picked me up from school like 15 minutes early because she had to go to Logan's reward assembly and i had piano so i couldn't be picked up late. when i got home i couldn't go to piano cause my sister was asleep on the couch. my mom had left her cell phone so i couldn't get ahold of her. so we had to reschedule piano. but i passed all of my songs off i piano. after piano i just kinda honged out. then we took molly to the dog park. there was aton of dogs there. probly the most thats ever been there when we're there. on the way there i called justin and asked him if he wanted to go to crystal palace. he said yes. we had so much fun there. me and justin are really good at roller blading and ice skating. i think i like ice skating more cause i go a little faster when we ice skate. we always win the races and the games and stuff. we are also really good at ripsticking too, thats fun. i know how to snow board but i am not sure if justin does though. when we got home from skating i took a shower. then start to blog.

church and the mohlers

today i woke up at 8:00 am. the first thing i did was go in my parents room and watch tv. then i had a breakfast tct for breakfast. after i watched tv. kk was watching a video called signing time. i stoped and looked at it and they taught you sign language. i watched the rest of the video and i could make small sentances with sign language. at church primary seemed supid my mom said i am just getting to that age were i am ready to move onto young mens. and what really sucks is that i will be the last one to go! when we got home from church we went to the mohlers and had lots of fun there and the dinner was really good! i had lots of mashed potatoes. they were garlic. then when we got home from the mohlers i started to blog then i talked to ben about wii.

scouts

the other day at scouts my old scout leader got released so we have a new one named rian. he is really nice and he puts a lot of effort into it. but he came with a black box called the black bribe box. we get to pick something out of it everyweek if we bring our binder and our book. next week we have to have our uniforms though. anyways i got to pick out of it and everyone else is pulling out candy and reicies peicies adn aton of good stuff and i pull out a mini first aid kit! it sucked really bad. everything else for the past two days has been the same. i am probly getting a private cello teacher in feburary so thats exciting. something not so exciting in my life is final exams. SCARY!!!!! caleb came over tonight, we had fun. we mostly ripsticked. my mom wanted driving lessons on how to drive a stick. so we went to the church and she just let us ripstick around while my dad gave her driving lessons. that was fun. i had a good day at school today. i found out that i have a D in english. i hate my english teacher she is one of those teachers who get this whole ego thing out of failing kids. it sucks. espeically since my mom said that if i get a/b honorole then i get a laptop. so that really sucks. YAWN!!!! its late.

sorry i haven't blogged for the last couple days but we have been getting home late an then i have to get in bed and take a shower for the next day at school. but here is pretty much what we have been doing for the last couple of days we have been going to the YMCA and working out. it is the greatest gym in the world because i can work out with my mom. we mostly do classed like kickboxing and stuff. but yesterday grandma and grandpa Forrest came into town and they took us to sweet tomatoes it was really fun and yummy. i didn't get to see much of them but then again i was at school all day. on the way to sweet tomatoes i started talking to grandma and i couldn't shut up. so me and my mom missed our class but i think it was worth it. cause when got back after and hour we went to the gym and just did treadmill, elliptical, weights, and i wanted to go swimming after but my mom reminded me that we didn't have our swimming cloths. today went to school, fell asleep in math, came home went, to piano, had a snack, i didn't have any homework, i went out with molly, and then Brian came and picked up Levi but Brian had a kidney stone so he couldn't take Levi home. so we had Levi until like 6:30 and missed our class. i really don't care Candice so..... yeah but. i also begged my mom to go to the gym and just do what we did last night but she had to much to do and was tired. so that sucked. then we had breakfast sandwiches for dinner. then went to the dog park and there was no dogs there so we just ran around with her. then two Doberman pincher's showed up and molly wouldn't go nere them. it was like she knew they were dangerous.then we came home and then their was now.

yesterday was the day that we came home from monticello, but i didn't get to blog so sorry. today we woke up and had breakfast. then we went to the dog park. we were nervouse cause it is our first time taking molly to intereact with other dogs but she did really good. one dog kept trying to mate all the dogs in there it was really funny. after that we came ome and had a snack. then i went with my dad to show great grandpa stewart my dads old truck that he restored. it looks really good. tomorrow i will put a pic of it but it is to dark outside to get a pic right now. then we went to lowes and tried to go to grandpa mohlers house to show him but they were on a cruise in hawiia. then we came home and just hanged out. then we went outside and rode fourwheelers for awhile. then had roman for dinner. got on comp, had ping-pong tournament, then watched t.v and then now.
