freedom bowl

January 29, 2010 Lily, Berrrett, Erica, and myself went down to this compatition in Utah. There are 7-8 teams of four. They have about two months to study these questions. They have to be able to know the answer before the question is even finished. Each team member has a buzzer. There are 9 rounds. For each question answerd you are given certon points. They team with the most points win. First place gets to go to this stimulation for free. The second place gets three forths of the monney to go and third place get half. So the compition last five hours. We ended up with third place and we onl had two weeks to study. So that was how I spent the last Saturday in January.

My sister at Sun Dance Eccles Theater

Hey every one I am going to talk about my wonderful sister. Jan 29, 10 my sister Mary went to a sun dance film festival. She met famous people. She said she had so much fun! She is a little...OK a lot on the wild side. She is really pretty! That is why she can get her picture taking next to a star. Here's a picture.
The guy on the left is a star named Adrian Grainier. On the right that is the famouse Mary. Mary is my sister. So that is how she became a star (sort of) for a day.

winning

hey every one! Now you all know that I love basketball. I was playing basketball this last couple semesters. We only lost one game all season. We went into tournaments as #2 we came out as #1. We won the championship! It was the first time my coach has ever won a tournament. We were going back and forth on the score board. At first we were ahead 5 and then down by 3 then ahead by 2 then down by 1. We were playing against our arch enemy! The one game we had lost was against them! Now we were playing for it all. We were tied with them with one minuet to go. We work our gusts out! Our girl was shooting and she got fouled. She was at the free throw line. 45 sec. on the clock! pressure was on. She had two shots on the free throw line. She missed the first one. She was getting shaky. We were all at the end of our seats. She shot a wonderful shot! It was a swish. We were up by one. 20 -21. With 15 sec on the clock the other team had the ball. They shot! Would it go in? No. It bounced of the backboard 10 sec. on the clock. We had the ball. 5 sec. and we were at the basket. The clock was counting down. 5,4,3,2,1. We shot and missed. But we were ahead. We had won! We had one for the first time in thirty or so years! We had our heads up high. We had worked hard. We had won.
