So it has been about 2 years since I last posted any thing so in the last post it said I had never been skiing; that has now changed! I have been skiing 5 times since then. And I have discovered it to be one of my all time favorite things!

I have also been taught by my father how to do Neurofeedback! You stick little sensors to your head and play games just by looking at the screen! Nobody really knows how, but it helps you with any thing from sleeping disorders to eye sight to ADHD.

Jana has earned a 4-year all tuition paid scholarship to University of Colorado at Boulder, and recently came home for spring break (she has already left again) and she brought a Boyfriend with her!

I have advanced from primary to Young Womens and am having a blast.

With my Violin I have advanced to Book 2 and am as of today using my vibrato! Admittedly, I get frusrated with my violin sometimes, but I still love it and am not planing to quit any time soon at all.

For Christmas I got buckyballs (216 round little magnets that you can shape and mold), Clothes, Treats and snacks, Spray paint and purple Duct tape!

So over-all it has been a great year!

Rachel :)

O wow! It's been a long long long time since I have written a post so this might not be worth your time but I have some news about my violin.

I am working on a new song called Minuet 3; it's easier than the song before it.

(It's called Minuet 3 because there's a Minuet 1 and 2)

But that's not very exciting.

AAAA IT SNOWED on Saturday. Hmm the only thing that I really like about snow

is sledding and skiing and snowboarding. (I have never been skiing or snowboarding

but they look really fun)

Do you know what my favorite foods are? Well, I'll tell ya! I really like top ramen and pizza.

Well, that's about it for today.

Bye bye. Rachel

My pool fun and how to do it!

Swim swim splash slash!!

Did you know that we have one of those big blue swimming pools?

Well we do. And we set it up last week.

It is 18 feet across and its supposed to be 4 feet deep but it's only about 2 and a half.

But it's still really fun. It's kind of cold so the first thing you have to do is

do a cannon ball or some thing so you get used to the water. It's really fun playing

sharks and minnows in the pool.

How to play sharks and minnows:

One persen in the middle is it (the shark),

The rest of the people (minnows) go to one side of the playing area.

Then the shark in the middle says GO!

Then all the minnows run to the other side of the playing area without

geting caught,

And if thay do get caught, they are another shark.

And the shark that was a minnow now does the same thing the original shark does.

You do this until there's only one person (minnow) left and and that person wins.

Then you can start all over again.

Me, Myself, and I

I hope that you are eager, anxious and excited to read my next paper, known as "Me, Myself, and I." I am about to tell you all about what I do when I am all alone in a room of some sort.

Most of the time, I talk to myself and turn it into an imaginary game.

Sometimes I pretend that I am on the radio and I have even pretended that I was Jay Leno.

I even play around and pretend I am stranded in the wilderness and sometimes I am an almighty super hero, battling off armies of thousands.

All this stuff is great fun. Maybe you should try it someday. I sure do enjoy doing it when none of my friends can play or they're not home.

When I am having a bad day, I seem to have a tendency to make it worse by singing sad songs.

I also pretend that I am a knight fighting a wicked prince that betrayed his father the king who had high hopes for him, but those hopes were ruined when he turned evil.

There is one other thing that I do when I am alone. I write everything from weird to stupid to funny in these papers, depending on what subject it is.

This one is four pages long, and it's a short one. And now my mom typed it for me into this blog for me.

Why mud?

I was just thinking that some of the readers of my blog will wonder why MUD is the missing ingredient. Because I think that too many people are afraid of mud and there is nothing it can do to you except give you an excuse to take a nice hot shower. That is what mud does for you and most people try to stay away from it. Although I don't really like showers because they are time-comsuming.

Oh, That Boy!

My sister and brother both go to WSU.
And thy have to ride the bus to Weber State and back every day.
And today my sister and brother were waiting for the bus and my brother waved away the bus before the bus that they were going to ride.
And my sister asked what he was doing.
And he said, "I was waving away the bus we didn't want," and then he demonstrated and accidentally waved away the bus that they needed.
You can probably imagine how mad my sister was at my brother when he flipped out when that bus passed them by.

Blondes on Fishhooks

Last month about 2 weeks before Thanksgiving my granny/grandma splurged and bought a ham and invited me and my family for a delicios ham, mashed potato, sweet potato dinner. After we had al eaten our fill we talked like chipmunks and somehow we got on the subject
of fishing and my mom and older sister have never gone fishing. They did not know how to put the worm on the hook. We tried our best to tell them you put the hook through the worm. But they stil did NOT understand how. So my grandpa said, "You make the worm open its mouth and you thread the worm on the hook." And my sister, being blonde, said, "How do you find the mouth?"
She did not know it was a joke; my grandpa and all others who heard her say it, burst
into tears of laughter, my grandpa nearly falling off his chair from entertainment. it was a WONDERFUL site! And my sister said she felt VERY blonde.
