Another school year is up.

I had great teachers.

And great friends. (Some think they're geeks. Some don't. We're all geeks.)
And not-so-great homework.

THINGS TO REMEMBER
*Milking every single bit of junk food we can from people running for student-council, trying to buy votes.
*Winning an "academic excellence" award.
*Me drawing weird cartoons in the margins of my Math notebook. (Don't tell my mom :P)
*Mr. Matson's mustard story.
*Covering people's faces in plaster for Egyptian masks.
*Teaching the class in History. (I'm not going to be a teacher.)
*Ellie Duke singing at the assemblies.
*Going to the Halloween dances with a bunch of friends. (Dwayne, you really should have been in the picture.)
*Dwayne trying to find a book in the class library I didn't know the author of.
*"Do you think he meant Afghanistan or the blanket?"
*Zack drawing a gazillion pictures of Iron Man.
*The class's Hunger Games addiction.
* Everything else.

Skiing with Grandpa

SPRING BREAK AND SKIING WITH GRANDPA- IS THERE A BETTER COMBO?
Princess, Grandpa, Dad, & I had one-on-one time to go skiing with grandpa. We had a rough first run, however. The line was ridiculously long since two of the main lifts were closed due to power problems. We then decided to try a harder run to kick things off. Princess, Dad, & I had done it before, but today it wasn't groomed. Thursday had brought a lot of new snow, so we were dealing with 3 feet of powder. It was difficult to navigate through the powder, and so falling was common. This wouldn't be too bad, except for we (Princess and I were the ones with problems) almost always lost our skis. By lost, I really mean lost. We had to dig through the powder to find them. The snow was too deep to put the ski back on, so you either had to get help or go without skis. Since I was far from the group, I started to hike down. (Mother Nature was on the floor laughing by now.) The skis kept falling back into the powder. Finally, Dad was able to help me. (Dad rocks.) Somehow, we managed to get onto the groomed runs and make it back to the lift. Luckily, we were all less grumpy seeing the lift line had shrunk considerably. (The power came back.) We then stopped to gorge ourselves at Alf's. The rest of the day was so much fun. We stuck to groomed runs, and had a ball. Grandpa gave me some great tips, and I can honestly say my skiing is a heck of a lot better. We were able to get in about a dozen runs the whole day, all of which were in perfect skiing conditions. Beautiful sunshine, glittering snow, white piled on the pine trees. There was just enough powder to make it fun on groomed runs. This was probably the best spring break skiing ever in the history of spring break skiing. (I would know this because, like most Americans, I have memorized the history of Spring Break skiing.) After the lines got bigger, and we were all perfectly exhausted, we headed home. We were all inflicted with nasty sunburns, but we were to tired to care. Mom made an awesome dinner, and we slept fully and happily ever after. :)

Coogs

Yesterday,I got bored and was trying to think of what to post, when I thought, Duh, the BYU game! Let me just say, they were great! They had a rough time at first, but they cleaned it up and won 14-13 to the 3rd best team in the country!!!!! This is their biggest win in 2 decades!!!! Let's hope they can keep on this high and start a winning streak, and maybe even become the first BCS buster.

A Visit With Grandma A

We visited Grandma Albertson last night. She told us she is beginning to enjoy living in her new home, though she is sad to leave her home behind. She seems to be doing well, and still has a good long term memory and can tell us some funny stories from her school days. Aunt Jan also stopped by when we were visting. We're glad she is beginning to adapt & enjoy her new home.
