State Basketball

Going to state in anything is always so fun. When the boys went to state basketball, the cheerleaders got to go with them and we got to drive ourselves to Boise. That was the best thing we have ever done. We stayed in a different hotel than the boys stayed at and it was a really nice hotel. They had a nice indoor swimming pool and really good food for breakfast. We also got to go to them mall whenever we wanted to and we just got to do everything that we wanted. It was so nice.
The first night we were there, Belen and I were just walking around the hotel because we didn't really want to go swimming. We saw this kid that was about fourteenish and he was all alone so we decided to talk to him. He also looked really familiar and we asked him what his name was and he told us his name was Mckye. So Belen asked him if he had a brother named Braden Watt. Mckye said it was his brother so we called Braden on Mckye's phone and talked to him for awhile. We also became friends with Mckye and hung out with him while we were there. We even tried setting him up with Hannah. It didn't work out too well with them.
The next night, Belen and I decided we would stay up the whole night because it was our last night there. We first started out the night by hanging out with some of our friends that came to our hotel. We just chilled in the weight room and talked. Then a lot of people started coming in and we didn't want to hang out with them so we left the weight room and went to play on the elevators. It was really fun because a lot of people kept getting on and off and we just rode it the whole time. Then we went and hung out in the lobby and then our friends had to leave. So Belen and I decided that we would go back to the weight room and hang out with whoever was in there. Kaden was in the weight room so we were just chatting with him.
When he was in the pool, there were also some drunk people that were in there and they just all of a sudden got mad at him so thats why he went to the weight room. Then all of the other cheerleaders started coming in so we just kind of started chatting with them also. While we were all just sitting in there, the drunk people came in. There was a girl and a guy and the guy wanted to take us on in a lifting competition. Then he told us to go get our dads so he could take them on, too. The girl was just plain crazy and was asking us how old we were and then they were accusing us of being pot smokers and drinkers. They started getting really mad and then Bob, Tanner, and Justin walked by. We were so relieved and told them to come in with us.
The drunk people asked us if they were our boyfriends and we told them we weren't and the guys told the drunk people that they didn't even know who we were. They were just talking to the drunk people and tried not to get them mad but that didn't happen. The drunk people got really mad and the boys told us to leave.
We all went out of the first part of the hotel and we were talking to Shaylee, Alli, and a few other people that were there about what happened. And while we were just chilling outside, the drunk people came out and they wanted Kaden to go talk to them. We told Kaden to go back to his room so they would leave him alone. So Kaden ran back to his room and closed the door. Then we all went back to talk to the drunk people because they still wanted to talk to Kaden but we told them that he went to bed. They still wouldn't leave us alone about it and they kept telling us that they just wanted to apologize to him. We told them that we would tell him and then they finally left us alone.
We all went back to our room to to talk about what happened. We were all laughing about it and then everyone started getting ready for bed except for Belen and me. We wanted to stay up all night so we quietly left the room and just went and hung out in the lobby. We became friends with the the lady that worked at the front counter and she made us hot chocolate. She also let us watch movies and stuff in the lobby. She also told us that we could get back in the pool if we wanted even though it was closed. We decided to go back into the pool but we didn't swim. We just sat and chatted.
After that, we went into the little office place that they had and we got on the computers. First we checked our Myspace and emails and then we started getting kind of tired so we started walking around the hotel again. Then we went back to the little office place again and we started looking up videos on youtube and we were dancing to them. It was so much fun.
When we were done dancing and stuff, we went and walked around the hotel again. We sat on the couches in the lobby and we kinda fell asleep for about twenty minutes. When we woke up, There was a bunch of people in there and they were all eating breakfast. We ate breakfast really quick and then we had to go back to our room and get all of our stuff ready to leave. We were so tired while we were getting all of our stuff together so we slept on the whole ride home.

B.P.A (aka biggest partiers around)

B.P.A is so much fun. Regionals is fun but state is even funner. This year was also the definitely the funnest. Bryce, Amanda, Hayden, and I were all on the Web Design Team. We got first at regionals and we made it to state. But that wasn't even the best part. It all started on the bus.
There were four other girls that went so we were going to split the rooms up into two groups of three. And the four other girls were all on another team, too. So Amanda and I had this brilliant idea that our Web Design team should be in our own room and the other team should be in one room so we would be able to get all of our competition stuff worked out. So we went and told Mr. Stembridge that he should tell them that so Amanda and I could have our own room. They all believed it at first and they were all freaking out because they didn't want to do that. It was funny, though, to see all of them freak out like that. But then we had to keep the rooms the same because those other girls didn't want to do that.
On our way to Boise, we had to pick up Marsh Valley's B.P.A. team because we were going to share the bus with them. They were all kind of weird but they were nice. One of the girls had chips and she said we could have some. So I got a big handful of them and had them in both of my hands. I was getting the chips out of my hands with my mouth and all of the Marsh Valley people were all like 'Wow! That is really cool! I wouldn't be able to do that.' etc. So I told them all, being the smart alec that i am, 'I can do amazing things with my tongue.' They all freaked out and couldn't believe I said that. And none of them knew I was kidding. Except for everyone from our school. It was really funny.
When we finally got to Boise, we were so excited. There were a lot of schools that stayed in the same hotel we stayed at so we were way excited. And our hotel was very nice. They had good food too.
On one of the nights, Hayden, Bryce, Amanda, and I walked to the gas station that was pretty close to our hotel and bought some ice cream. we picked the kinds we wanted and then we had to look for some spoons. They had some plastic spoons by the soda fountain so i took one and put it in my pocket. When I went to go pay, i just put the ice cream up there because that was all I was going to buy. While the cashier was ringing up my ice cream, she asked me if I had anything else. I told her no and she looked at me like I was lying to her. So I told her that i had the spoon but I didn't think I had to pay for it. Then she just looked at me like I was retarded. So when i was finished buying all of my stuff, I left the store as fast as I could.
And while we were in Boise, everyone in B.P.A. got to go to a Semi-Pro Basketball game. I saw some people from Ririe that I knew. We were just chatting for a little while and then he told me that I never called him for a wheelchair because of my knee and so I told him it was because I didn't have his number. He told me he would give it to me then so I could. I wasn't really in to him so I didn't really want his number so I told asked him 'What if I don't need a wheelchair though?' He didn't know what to say to that and I felt kind of mean but everyone that was there was just laughing. And It was pretty funny.
That night back at the hotel, Amanda and I had some powdered doughnuts. We thought it would be funny if we put them all over our face and walked around the hotel. Well it was pretty fun. Mrs. Bowcutt and one of her students that was in B.P.A. were right outside. We saw them and we just started laughing because of what was on our face and we left because we were kind of embarrassed. So we went downstairs and we were just sitting in the lounge. Some people walked by us and walked into the little snack shop thing that the hotel had. So we decided to go in there to. We were looking at everything and we were just being kind of retarded. And when we turned around, one of the boys who was in there like freaked out. He was all 'What the heck is on your face?!' And of course, we pretended that we had no idea what he was talking about. He kept asking us what it was and then Amanda and I looked at each other and said 'Oh my gosh you do have something on your face! This is so embarrassing!' and then we left and went back up to the floor that our room was on.
When we got upstairs, one of the rooms had their door open. We went and looked inside and there were some people in there. So we just starting talking to them. They seemed really nice. then one of them came out to talk to us and he kinda freaked out to. He asked us the same questions and we did the same thing. But he was cool and gave us a piece of pizza. It was really good.
Then we left them and started walking back to our room. Mrs. Bowcutt and that kid were still out in the hall talking and Bryce was with them. Amanda and I were pretending we were spies or something and we started like trying to be sneaky as we were walking down the hall. Amanda and I were laughing so hard as we were telling them what happened to us and they all thought we were crazy. The kid that was talking to Mrs. Bowcutt and Bryce asked Bryce if we were drunk or something because we were pretty crazy. But of course we weren't and then we finally went to our rooms and got all the crap off our faces.
We also did a little prank calling while we were in Boise. We would call random rooms and just say random stuff. One time when I called a random room, some kid picked up. I talked to him with a Spanish accent and told him that his tacos were ready for him to come pick up. He told me to hold on for a second and then I could hear him asking his mom if they bought tacos. It was so funny! Then his mom got on the phone and I told her the same thing. Then she told me that they didn't order any tacos and then she hung up and that was the end of that.
We also spiced up the awards ceremony. That thing always seems to drag on forever. So we decided that we would have fun with it this year. We just made up random conversations so everyone around us could hear. Amanda said something about how her dad wanted to get a 12th wife and just said a whole bunch of funny stuff about that. Then Hayden and I were pretending to be in a fight and Ms. Bratsman thought we were being serious. And it just went on and on throughout the whole awards ceremony. We also did a whole lot more crazy things and that was probably one of the funnest trips that I have been on with the school.

Potato Harvest

I have never really been a big fan of Potato Harvest. I just hate working all day every for extremely long hours and I never really had any friends working for us because they used to be too young to work. But the funnest time I worked in Potato Harvest was when I was a Junior. We had the funnest crew. Austin, Kyle, and Preston worked out in the field and Emily, Mataya, Belen, and Hannah picked clods and Jo and I drove trucks.
The first day we started, I was getting the last load in the field for the day. When I was driving up to Austin's digger, him, Kyle, and Preston were all standing out by Austin's tractor. I knew something was up. So when I pulled up, they all started throwing dirt clods at my truck. I was going to get out but I knew that they would kill me. So I just sat safely in my truck with my window rolled down. One of them hit my mirror and the dirt went everywhere! It was all over me. So they finally decided to get back to work and I took my load back to the cellar.
The next day we worked, all of the guys were telling me I was going down. So I told all the girls at back at the cellar and we decided we would get them back. It was war.
When we were getting ready to be done for the night, Emily, Jo, and I got a lot of mini potatoes and hid them in our sweatshirts so we could throw them at the boys when they put their tractors away. When they started coming in, we were trying to sneak up on them so we could hit them with our potatoes. They saw us so they were trying to run away and find some potatoes they could throw at us. We hit them a few times and they were still trying to find things to throw at us. They found a few potatoes to throw but they missed us. Then one of them found a crowbar and started chasing me around the tractors. Thank goodness Jo was there because she threw a potato at him and then we escaped.
Then the next night, Emily, Mataya, Jo, and I found a bunch of small potatoes again and waited by our shop for the guys to get there so we could get them again. When they got there, they went into the shop with the door open and they were trying to fix something on one of the tractors. We all got into our positions and started attacking them again. They were trying to find things to throw at us again and then they shut all the doors and locked us out. Then we found another way to get in and we were hiding behind the tractor. Then Mataya threw a potato at Preston and hit him on the back of the head and the potato broke into pieces. It was so funny.
So we kept that going for pretty much all of spud harvest. It was so fun. That was definitely one of the funnest spud harvests that I have worked in.

Sticky Situations

I have always kind of liked staying home alone. You can pretty much do whatever you want because you're parents aren't home. And when you have friends over, there are many fun things that you can think of that you can do.

A few years ago, Tanae came over to my house and my whole family left to go do something fun. So Tanae and I decided that we would call people. We called like everyone that you can think of. While we were talking to them, we were eating marshmellows outside on our little porch. While we were outside eating our marshmellows, we had the brilliant idea of seeing if our marshmellows would stick to the window. So we would suck on the marshmellows and then throw them at the windows and they would stick. That was pretty fun. Then we went back inside and we wanted to see if we could throw the marshmellows at our really tall windows and see if they would stick. Well, they did. They were stuck on our tallest windows and we had no idea how to get them down. But the good thing was that they were low enough on the windows that you couldn't see them. But only when you were standing where we were. So we just decided that we weren't going to say anything to anybody when they all got home.

So while we were waiting for everyone to still come home, we decided to stop throwing marshmellows and we decided to roast them over our stove. That was fun and they were good. After a little while of roasting marshmellows, I decided that I wanted to start mine on fire. So I was roasting another marshmellow and turned around to watch some TV.

After a minute or two, Tanae started screaming and jumped off of the chair she was sitting on and ran over by our fridge. I turned around to see what the heck was happening and my marshmellow was on fire! I felt so accomplished because I achieved my goal. But I was scared and didn't know what to do but I finally got the fire out. That was pretty exciting.

My parents came home shortly after that and then they took Tanae back to her house. We were all just sitting around on the couches and my mom decided she wanted to go upstairs for something. While she was walking up the stairs, she decided to look out the big windows that are right across our stairs. Then she saw the marshmellows. She was kind of mad and asked us all who threw the marshmellows on the window. She started blaming it on Austin and he told her that he didn't do it and he thought it was Tanae. Then I told my mom that it wasn't Tanae because I was with her the whole time and she would never do that. I don't know if my mom knew that it was us or not but she made my dad go get a ladder and get the marshmellows off. So ever since then, I decided that I would not throw marshmellows at places that I couldn't reach.
