I just came back from girl’s camp the other day it was really fun. My first day there we went rock climbing and zip lining and played Ga ga ball. It was really fun. I was a champion but then I lost so I was not the champion anymore. Also I made a really good friend name Cassidy. She and I did everything together, well almost. We also made a craft; it was a little bracelet lanyard and it was for our name tag which we had to wear everywhere. And we also had to bring a water bottle and a name tag for breakfast, lunch and dinner if you wanted to eat. We also had a squirrely box if you lost something and you would have to do the squirrely dance in front of everyone; so embarrassing! Every morning our leaders would make us hot chocolate and it was awesome. The next day we went to town hall and found out who your service sister was; mine was Hannah. Then I went on the power pole but I did not go up all the way. I freaked out so I didn't do it and just climbed back down. Then we did lots of certifications which was kind of boring. Then we had an all year swim but I didn't go swimming. I just went to kayaking and fishing; it was cool. We also had s’mores. We each had one but I actually had two so I had more. The third day I had my ward skit practice. I was the main character Annabelle; I was awesome. We had a service project and we're making clothes for babies that did not grow and came out early so they are really tiny. Then we went to archery and I was horrible; I missed the board about a zillion times. I hit he board once but it was pretty far from the target. Then we did bb guns; I was awesome. I hit the bulls eye every time. I have a bb gun at home. Then I was in the shower and there's a spider on my stall and it fell on my foot; it was horrible. Our last day, Saturday, we played three team kickball; it was fun at first but then it got really boring. Then we had free time and I went kayaking and fishing again and we had a Ga ga ball tournament. I'll also lost. After free time we went to our ward skits. I was awesome but there were many great skits too. There was also a YCL, her name is Rachel, and was super nice to all the first years. After everything, we packed up and went home and that was my girl’s camp.

Last Friday has been the worst day ever, but mostly sad.  Well, when I was going out to the bus.  I went on the bus and sat in my seat like normal.  I looked out window and saw a car speeding right towards the end of the bus loop.  Then there was a kid in the middle of the road and the kid got by the car.  Then half of the bus runs out to see what was going on.  When we see the person on the floor all he's doing is twitching and he has blood all around him.  But we found out that evening that he'll be ok.

Last Saturday, I saw my best friend Sabrina.  I haven't seen her since the end of last school year because she went to a charter school.  But, Saturday I went to her house to give her a birthday invitation.  When we knocked on the door, she opened the door.  My Dad was talking to her Mom and me and Sabrina were trying to talk to each other.  But, we both whispered to each other, "This is awkward with parents looking at us."  So, we stayed quiet and the rest of the time was awkward.

Allie, my little sister, is the cutest thing ever.  Her really name is Allison Canella.  Even though she cries a lot, I really love her.  The first time I saw her I was crying because it just feels to weird to have another little sister.  I really thought that the four of us, Cameron, me, Logan, and Emma was all there was.  But now four years from now I'm going to have to get used to some things.

Halloween's tomorrow, yea.  I'm being Alice in Wonderland.  I was going to be Anna because my little sister is going to be Elsa, but they were all for little kids, of course.  My little brother's being a night with a bow and arrow.  My big brother's just being a tennis player, which he already is one.  and of course Emma's being Elsa.  And my little, cutey little sister is being Super Girl.

School has been really good though.  I've seen lots of cute boys.  And I've made lots of great friends.    Who knew Middle School could be fun.

So, I went to volleyball camp.  It was really fun.  And then after that we went to orchestra camp for a week.  The last day we got a goodie bag, pizza, and ice cream, and some waters.  Also, my Grandma and Grandpa came.  It was really fun for them to come.

Yesterday, I had a party.  At first it was going to be a Middle School party for all the Mormons that were going to the same Middle School.  But, there was not a lot, so we made it a back to school party.  When people first started to get here we played Wii and then we also played soccer.  And then we played minute-to-win-it games.  We did an oreo one where you have to balance it on your forehead and try and get it in your mouth without hands.  And then we did an M&M one where you have to carry as many M&Ms to the other side but it had to be your color.  And then we played time one where you had to guess when a minute was up.  But, when I was about to raise my hand a timer turns on and that was the minute timer.  So, we had to get it again and another boy one.  And then we did this balloon challenge where you had to tie two balloons to the back of your two ankles and you try and pop other people's balloons.  One boy was stepping on everyone's balloons and it looked like he was going to win, but he got a girl out and she got mad and so she tried to pop his balloon.  But she didn't.  I popped his balloon right as she tried to pop mine.  So, my mom said that he won, but really I won.  Then we played a basketball where you crumble up paper and try and throw it in a cup.  And then we did a snowball one where we had to crumble up paper and throw them to the other side and we wanted the least on our side.

After that we went to the pool and we made a raft.  Well, the girls made a raft.  After we made our raft and it was floating, we got on, and the boys tried to take it.  Then when we got bored we came back and just hanged out.

Hi.

The end.

P.S.- I spent the week with the Beans.  It was one of the coolest things ever.  They live in Germany and we haven't seen them in two years.  And so we spent the week with them.  And I shared a room with Lindsay.  She introduced me to this game on her phone called Geometry Dash.  Its really fun but addicting too.  We played laser tag with them and we also got out the water slide that my Grandma Judy gave us.  We played Bang with them once but then we really didn't play it.  The parents went to two movies.  And guess who didn't get to go?  The kids.  I really want to see the movie "Earth to Echo."  I'm saying this because now my Mom knows that I want to see "Earth to Echo" because she's writing this.

P.S.S.- Our vacation to Houston!  It was really fun.  We spent 5 hours in the car without any media driving there.  When we first went there we went to Galveston.  At first I was really scared to go in the water, but my Dad dragged me out there and I had lots of fun.  But, anytime I'd step on seaweed or it would wrap around my leg, this is all you would hear, "Ahhhhhh."  But in a high pitch.  But, I had a blast.  Then we went swimming at a nearby swimming pool and just swam.  And then after that, the next day, we went to Nasa.  It was pretty cool.  We went on this tour that was really cool.  We got to see Mission Control and we got to see Saturn V, the real thing.  And then they had a whole bunch of games in the middle and we saw a lot of movies too.  After that we went to Boardwalk.  I'm really not a big fan of roller coasters so all I went on was the Merrigo Round, Monkey Bounce, the Wipeout, and the Ferris Wheel.  I never knew my mom was so afraid of heights, but I'm not going to say anything else, but you can guess.  That day we went to my Grandma and Grandpas.  And the next day we went to the Houston Children's Museum.  It was the best thing ever!  It had all of this stuff.  You could never be bored there.  So, I'd like to say, if you're going to Houston and you have kids, you have to go to that museum.  And after that, we went to the Museum of Natural History.  My Mom really liked it.  I thought it was ok.  There's this one part though, the Geovater, and my Dad was freaking me out saying we were actually going underground.  I was freaked out.  I didn't want to go on the Geovater.  And then I realized that it was all fake.

P.S.S.S.- The next day, we went to the Aquarium.  It was really cool.  You know how you normally go to aquariums and its normally boring because all you see is colorful fish?  Well, guess what they showed?  They were showing octopuses, lion fishes; stuff that you wouldn't see in a normal aquarium.  It was really cool.  And then they had this train that we went on and guess what it was about?  SHARKS!!!  The number one thing I hate.  Well, its not the number one thing, but its one of the things I hate.  And guess what they said?  They said these exact words, "The brown shark is found in Galveston."  Repeat, did you hear me?  I was pulling out my hair.  I just went to Galveston.  I mean, I could have got bitten by a shark.  So that's the last time I'm swimming in the ocean.  And they also said that when it flooded there, one of their great white sharks escaped and they think its in the Gulf of Mexico.  And then afterwards there was a bunch of rides.  And the next day, we went to James' baptism.  My cousin.  And then we went to Janet's house to have a big dinner.  And then after that we went back home and did not have media, only 20 minutes though.

P.S.S.S.S.- The end.

I've been having a great 3 months.  I only remember the stuff that I recently did, so you won't be hearing about the 2 1/2 months.  On the 4th of July, in the morning we went to Ward Party and the mile run.  But it wasn't called a mile run, it was called a Fun Run.  Is a mile fun?  No!  Well, this year they did different awards, the first man, the first woman, the first boy, the first girl, and other stuff.  When I heard that the first girl... I knew it was me.  And so we started the race; there were about 2 girls that sprinted at the very first.  They were ahead of me.  I was about to sprint to when my Dad went by me and said, "Keep your pace.  Don't go too fast."  So, I kept my same pace the whole time and felt really good when I got a roll going.  And I ended up passing those girls.  And then I ended up coming in 5th overall.  The reason why Logan beat me, because he got 4th overall, because if they were going to do Senior Primary, Junior Primary, YM, YW, etc. then I would have probably sprinted the whole way which would have got me the same with Logan.  So, when they were giving out the awards I came out and realized that last year, I ran about half way and then I couldn't run anymore.  So, I realized that the whole way I kept my pace, which was pretty fast but not too fast, that it was thanks to P.E. that they work us so hard and swim team.  In our basket we got glow in the dark sticks, sponge animals where you put it in water and it grows, and then I got a whole bunch of candy.

And then in the afternoon, we went to a Swim Party.  It was pretty cool.  It had a whole bunch of food but it was all disgusting.  And then, with some people I played volleyball in the water.  And each time they tried to hit it over, they'd hit, it would look like it was coming over, and then the wind would turn it and blow it out.  And then we also did games.  The first was the water raft races.  I almost got first, but I got 2nd.  It was really close.  At first when I did it, there was a boy that was way ahead but he stopped and it was between me and another girl.  And then we did a hula hopping competition.  They did three rounds.  And what you had to do is you had do hula hopping for 30 seconds (that's easy).  The first round it was between me and this other boy, but I came too close and his hula hoop knocked mine down.  But I won the 2nd round.  And then they did a coin dive where they throw coins in the water and you have to get them.  They said that there were three buffalo coins.  And if you got one, you would get a prize.  So, I'm in the water looking for coins and I'm getting as many as I can.  And then I gave all of my coins to my Dad and looked for more.  I looked down in the water and I see a kid picking up dimes in the water.  I looked down and saw a whole bunch more so I dived in the water and started picking them up.  I got some dimes and then I looked and saw the buffalo coin.  I dived and got it and you could tell he was going for it too.  When I came above the water and so did he, I holded up the coin and I said, "Buffalo coin," in an accent.  I had no problem doing that because he beat me in the first round of the hula hooping contest and he was bragging to me a lot about it too.

In the evening, we went to Boerne to see the fireworks.  There was a playground.  I played on it for a little bit but got bored.  So, I went back, ate a sandwich, and played with some girls for the rest of the time.  We played Jackpot, soccer, Ultimate Frisbee.  And while we were playing Ultimate Frisbee, there were some huge winds and you could tell it was going to rain.  And so we had to hurry and gather our stuff.  And when we were 1/4th to the car it started pouring on us.  So, we went to the car and we waited for the rain to stop.  and then we came out and set out stuff back up.  And then we waited for the fireworks to start.  There was a whole bunch.  My Dad like the big ones.  But I like the shape ones.  In the middle of the fireworks, I looked down, and Emma is sleeping.  And I think to myself and my mom says, "How could she be sleeping in the middle of fireworks?  Fireworks are loud."  And I had a great 4th.

Once upon a time we finished up January and February and March.  The end.

Just joking.  I went to the rodeo and it was really fun.  We just finished up our volleyball season.  We won our last two games; it was our first two.

Friday was Field Day at our school.  And 5th grade got to help with the Kindergartners.  You'd be buddied up with two Kindergartners and you'd help them and watch them.  At first I thought this is going to be awesome.  But, I realized was that I didn't get to do anything but watch them and help them.  At this little game you had to take off your shoes and socks.  One girl didn't know how to take off her shoes or her socks so I had to take them off for her.  It was disgusting.

I watched Ender's Game.  It was PG-13.  It was my 3rd PG-13 movie I've ever watched.  And yesterday I watched Thor.  It was also PG-13.  It was my 4th PG-13 movie.  And then March 21st, I'll probably (we'll see) watch Divergent.  But I hope I watch Divergent 'cause I read the whole book and that's probably the reason I read the whole book.
