Auriana- I got all A’s for my 1st semester of ninth grade, and I hope that I can keep it up for the rest of high school. I’m having fun doing the Utah Valley Children’s Choir every Saturday from 7:00-9:00 a.m., and I’ve been doing a lot of babysitting lately to earn money for the tour that we’re going on in the summer. We’re going to perform in all the states around Utah, (Arizona, New Mexico, etc.) and I’m really looking forward to it.
Isaac-I went on a campout to St. George with my scout troop and we stayed in our scoutmaster’s house. (He has a house up there). It was fun after that we went to snow canyon. Which, by the way, is the worst name possible for it. That place is covered in lava rock and there isn’t a speck of snow for miles. We found a little hole in the ground and climbed down into it and it went down for a while. Then we finally got down to the bottom and there was a huge cave and we were shining our flashlights around and up on the ceiling there were little brown things they were bats! Some of the scouts threw rocks at them but they didn’t do anything. After that the scoutmasters gave everybody a glow stick - the fat kind with lots of juice in them - after we got them glowing we cut off the tops and splattered the juice all over the walls and each other. It was fun. After that we went to a waterfall that turned out to be dried up so we went home. It was a fun campout.
Natalie-on Saturday I went to a feis! I competed in seven dances and placed in five of them. I got three firsts, one fourth, and one fifth! I also competed with my fiddle and got second place. I am doing indoor soccer and I am having a lot of fun! I play at seven peaks.
Enoch- I’m going to the Jazz game on Wednesday. I started basketball last week and on our first game there was three seconds left and I made a three pointer.
Miriam-two days ago I did a Feis and I was dancing first and I danced with someone from my Irish class and her name was Callie and first we danced the Reel. Then a few minutes later we danced the light jig. And on both of those dances I was on stage B. And there was 4 stages – A,B,C, & D. Then a lot of other people danced and then a little bit more people danced. Then I danced all by myself and it was the single jig on stage A. The judge was smiling and there was a judge for every stage. I missed one on my spelling test for the first time this year. The word was Jimmer Fredette . I spelled it Jimmer Ferdette!
THE END.
Ellie- Today I played LIFE with myself and I cleaned it up without being asked. Before yesterday I went to the Feis and I got to do the reel and the light jig. After I was done I got a gold medal and a silver medal. And then we took care of Willis – he is my Irish teacher’s baby. Then Willis fell asleep and then we went to watch the Valentine’s dancers. Then we watched Natalie and then we ate. Then we watched Miriam dance by herself. We packed up and left. When I woke up the next morning I had a tummy ache. I went up to mama and I told her I had a tummy ache. I fell back asleep on the couch and when I woke up I saw Brenda. Brenda was here to take care of me while my family went to church. Then I ate cheerios and then my family came back home. Then they were going to go to Grandma Pendleton’s house and then I went to Brenda’s house and I lay on the couch there and watched TV. Then we played LIFE and I made her like it. And that’s all I want to say!
