fri-sun

ok so i'm already starting to get behind. . . thats not good! . . . so friday was one of those days were i woke up and just knew it would be a good day :) . . . is was worried about my photo class and developing but it turns out i get to do it next time :). . . after school i missed the football game :) . . .( which we won by the way) because i went to dinner with my cousins, uncle and his new girl friend. . . it was kinda important because this was the first time my cousins had ever seen their dads girlfriend. . . we went to godfathers pizza were i ate 6 or 7 pieces? ( i lose count) and 2 bread sticks ha ha! then we went ot some mall complex out west were my dads work buddies had a gig with thier band ( rockin rob and the hound dogs) i think everything went really well, went to bed really late! 1-ish . . .
saturday morning i woke up at about 9:30 to a phone call from jess who came home from college for the weekend! :) anyway i went on an awesome hike up by the alta ski resort with her and her family to a place called secret lake were we ate snacks and cought salamanders !! there were a ton of them in the lake!! then i came home and worked for a long time . .. ran some erands with my mom, and picked up a bird cage for piper!! while we were out we also named all our cars so we wouldn't get them all mixed up so here it goes. . . grandma's truck= the rock...for reasons my mom wont let my say, . . . . the suburban=the bolt. . . . got it from the movie RV it stands for Big Old Lurching Terd. . . . .the red car= Mickey. . . . because of the mouse we lost in it and has never been found, plus it has a smileyface license plate. .. . . and the new Kia spectra= sac. . . .stands for Seceret agent car because it has supper dark windows and a "bullet hole" in the windshield. .. its awesome.
sunday. .. woke up, went to church, then our family went with the trapps up to their cabin. . . it was amazing!!! two of my favorite things at one time!! being in the mountains and thunderstorms at the same time!!! we played games, played guitar, and drank hot chocolate!! what a perfect day!

thursday

well. . . . regular school again today. . . but i was really happy with my studio art class today :) we actually started drawing!! ( and evidentally in comparison to everyone else i'm not as bad as i thought i was) we were sketching one of the other people in the class and she was going around giving pointers out to people ( everyone except me, she told me good job) . . . ( it wasn't really that hard, i was just folowing directions and everyone else wasn't) but it made me feel good anyway. . . . but she made us bring in some of our paintings so we could go over how they are graded, well we didn't get to that today, so i'm kinda worried because she mad us leave our paintings there at school!! . . . i dont think i'll be able to sleep tonight, i'll probably have nightmares. . . plus leaving it as school also means forfeiting entering it into the county fair :( . . . oh well, theres next year i guess. . . . . and today after school i got to take pictures with a reall camera for the first time in my life!!! it was so cool!! i started in my back yard, walked to the cemetary, through the huge field of dead weeds and grass to the knights horse jumping pen where i took some awesome pics of jumping horses!!hopefully they will turn out, sigh, i guess i'll find out tomorrow, wow i really hope i remember how to develope film! or i think my teacher will hate me forever. :(. . . . but i've decided that i dont like 35 mm as much as digital cause you cant see the pics . . . and digital doesn't involve developing!

ha ha . . .

Ha Ha !!! . . . wow this is the earliest i have ever written in my blog believe it of not :) . . . and i just go through reading some of my previouse stuff and i just have to say sorry to all of the few people reading my blog about the spelling. it is simply shameful!! but its really no suprise is it? ive always kinda been bad at it ;) . . anyway day 3 . . . just more school . .. but i dont know if i ever told you what i have on A day so here it is . . . class#1= sem. . . have the only girl teacher, sis. savage, she loves object lessons:) . . . class#2= accapella. . . tried out today . . . she put me in an alto position :) . . . . class#3= ap photography. . . this is the class im most worried about believe it or not . . . i know i'm the absolute most inexperienced in the class and i think the teacher would kick me out if she really knew how much i dont know, Ha Ha. . . good thing i'm a quiet person;) class#4= ap statistics. . . horrible class to have last, but its the easiest math i've taken in years believe it or not, just a bunch of graphs and charts:) . . . ya thats pretty much it, i took a nap after school (sorry jess) and did homework, and i'm getting the camera i'm borrowing from my uncle tonight!! way excited :) yep thats it!

day 2

day two . . . i'll keep it short because i want to get tko bed earlier today because this morning i wok up and couldn't open my eyes until i had to drive . . . . even then i had to use duck tape to keep my eyelids open :) . . . well i went to school 6:30 as usual . . . i'm starting to think thats to early. . . .first class= english 1010 . . . looks like a strict teacher and alot of busy wrighting whitch is to bad . . . i dont like either. . . . second class= government. . . its going to be a way easy class, first assignment is to watch tv :) . . .he is also good with mp3s and phones in his class. . . . it will probably not effect me though because i'm to worried to bring my mp3 and there is no cell service in his room ( like theres any in alta anyway). third class= psycology. . . i'm so excited for this class!! it is going to be so fun!! already learning cool new things. fourth class= studio art(ap) . . . holly cow i feel so intimidated by this class!!! everyone seems so much better than me at drawing! i have no idea what to expect in this class but it will be really fun all the same. . . . . . . . . . . . one of the baby quail died today :( but the rest look really healthy. . . . tonight me and my mom went to get gas in the truck just to get to the station and find that we didnt have the lock for the gas tank ( it has a separate lock so you cant unscrew the little knobby thing) so we ran back to the house to get the key hoping we wouldn't run out of gas on the way home. . . we get there to find that the gas tank wasnt locked in the first place. . . way funny! :) . . . and i called my friend Jess at college and talked to her for an hour :) so fun :)

first day as a senior

wow, i'm a senior this year . . . wierd huh? ha ha . . . i drove to school in the big red truck. . . thats right, IM driving to school. this morning i had 45 min to walk around and soak in the power of being a senior . . . watching all the sophmores scramble around with their scheduals, struggle to open their lockers and everything els that comes from being that young. :) oh poor souls. . . . school was average, of couarse i'm starting out as an over achiever ( well see how long this lasts, hee hee) . . . . everything still feels like i'm in a dream or something . . . school really isn't happening, is it? . . . well after school everything outside smelled like smoke, you could see the air in front of you it was so bad . . . . as we were driving home we noticed a huge fire! on the mountainside!! as we got closer to our house the smoke was so thick it was blocking the sun and casting a shadow over our house!! it was crazy! . . . well when the boys and kass got home at 4 we all went to primary childrens hospital so that me dad and eli could get our blood drawn for the genetic tests again ( last time they lost our blood before it got tested:( ......) well evidentally they want to see if a sertain mystery genetic mutation runs in our family because my sister aubrey and brother josh have it. . . . we dont know much about it now but i think that its probably a bigger deal than theyre making of it. . . . then we had an organized family home evening for the first time in forever that was ment to show just how horribly familys work together, i dont think any family has ever passed the first time, or the second , or the fifth. . . we were there for a long time! ha ha . . . .oh ya!! the 4 baby quail hatched today!!! they're so cute!!! well wish me luck tomorrow . . .school day #2

saturday

one more day until my life and soul is taken over by that thing called school :( nothing really interesting happened today. . . woke up, cleaned the kitchen, cleaned piper's cage, ran to the store to pick some things up for my mom. . . my brothers and dad have been picking on me today, nothing new. . . i'm kinda stressed too, . . . my 13 year old cousin is moving in with us, her bedroom is across the hall from mine and i feel like i have all the responsibility to make her feel welcome at our house because i'm the only one she really feels she can talk to and hang out with. ( her names kasidee by the way) and then i'm just feeling that now i'm a senior i have, and am quickly accumilating many new responsibilitys and its all kinda overwelming :( oh well . . . i'll stop jabbering all my problems to you, i promise i dont complain this much usually :)

friday

ok, so theres good news and bad news . . . . good news: we got our air conditioner fixed!!! bad news: we had to tear down our entire basement bathroom ceiling and part of my bedroom ceiling to do it :( but it was worth it! :) i can finally sleep at night. oh ya and its officiall :) i am now a certified veterinary technition! ( and the certificate even has my name speled right). today has basically been packed way busy of very not very important things, so i'll only say the things worth mentioning. . . this morning we went to joshes school and helped his teacher organize wile they(kassidee and eli, but eli's still not home from bear lake so mom went) had orrientation...the baby quail, deseda died today too, she hadn't been looking too good, she's had a hard time walking this whole week. but piper is doing just fine, i think she's about 2 months now and we are fore sure she's a girl, all her grown up feathers are grown in now :) we think were going to keep her inside in a bird cage so she can be around people. i also ran all around today with our errands trying to find the second and serenade cd "awake", we have there other one and i think they are now my favorite group. . . . just watched "serenity" . . . thats a good show!. . . .well thats about it, 2 more days of summer :( is should start counting the hours now, huh?. :(

.. . . .

well today the air conditioner still isn't working, and i'm still tiered. . . woke up at 5 to drive aubrey to drivers ed, and had to semi clean my room supper fast so that the air conditioner guys could bust a whole in my wall to get to the vent. :( oh but i did get to take my brother josh swimming for the neighborhood swim day. . . that was pretty fun, as soon as i got there it was an emidiate game of, "everyone hit jordann with squishy pool toys" you might think i'm beeing sarcastic, but i really enjoyed it. 7 ten year old boys against me, two tag alongs on my side (4 year olds) who wanted to do all the throwing for me, so basically i took the hits gave the 4 year olds my amo and let them lightly toss them to my "enemys" lol, it was fun.

.

6 days . . . .

wow... only one week till school starts. *sigh* i guess i'll survive. i didn't sleep very well last night, it was way to hot, the air conditioner is still broken, i think tomorrow i'll sleep outside it much cooler out there! ha ha :) well today i went to the tech center to pick up my veterinary technition certificate because they spelt my name wrong on the first one ( suprise suprise). and i walked in to find one of my vet teck friends had been bitten be one of the ten foot boas!(she had taken a job at the tech center to jtake care of the animals for the summer. . . . .its ok if your confused;) ) it looks pretty bad, you can see the whole outline of the snakes mouth, she'll have some pretty nasty briuses, but she was laughing the whole time, kinda remends me of me :) ha ha. well the teacher wasn't there so i'll have to go back on thursday and pick up the certificate if i remember :) ~~~~~after that my day has been pretty uneventful, cleaned the kitchen really good, and went to cabbellas. . . . .oh ya!! when i was home cleaning the kitchen my sister and mom were out shoe shopping and they found a size 10.5 !!! (i know i have supper big feet) but they dont make 10.5 size shoes because the only girls with that big of feet are related to sasquach ( he's my great uncle on my dads side ;) ) they stop half sized at 9.5 and some stores dont even carry sizes past 10( for all you people with small feet, just so you know, not that it matters ha ha) well now i guess some brands carry them! :) . . . . .well i've got to wake up early to drive my sister to drivers ed at 5 so i'de better stop jabbering and get some sleep :)

grr

today was a long day, basically i went clothes shopping for school, (not my favorite passtime). . . . . .and our air conditioner is broken. . . its really hot at my house. . . . . but on the bright side i made a new guitar song! . . . its called "burning" along with my previous song "get the picture" that makes two total, . . i'm also working on one called "let it rain" (i think i'll call it that) but i want it to be good so its taking a long time :( as for my piano song i am making up, it is also at a stand still, every time i sit down to work on it i come up with something different that i like, so untill i come up with something amazing i guess it will have to stay how it is.

day one :)

well, i finaly got this started :) (thanks jess) hopefully i'll be more faithfull in keeping this updated than my journal ha ha. well todays been just dandy, but i cant believe that school is starting in one week! usually i'd be ready for it to start back up again . . . but not this time. one year just isn't enough time before i move out and grow up.. . .sigh. . . .oh well lilfe goes on. being a senior is going to rock! well anyway we just got back from out last trip of the summer, we went camping in hanna, (its just a small town with one gas station with one pump and no school) and guess what? i got to go four wheeling for real, for the first time! its so fun!! man i love camping! the only thing that would make it better would be if we caught more fish. . . my dad is going through this fishing craze, we went fishing 6 times this trip and we only caught one fish. . . . but it was huge!! a 20 inch brown, havent cooked it yet but i'm looking forward to it :) well over and out.
