I had day one of my meet.   Means I had my best time, made goal or came close to it.   means my time went up and didn't make my goal or best time. 

Event	Time	Stand.	Meet Goals
50 BackStroke Y			B
50 Breaststroke Y		B	BB
50 Freestyle Y		(BB)	Q1
100 BackStroke Y			B
100 Breaststroke Y			DIdn't swim
100 Freestyle Y		BB	Q1
100 Medley Y			BB
200 Freestyle Y			BB
200 Medley Y		B	B

So far, my meet has been a good one.  I dropped time in 3 of my events but added a little in 50 Breaststroke.  My coach clocked me at 29 for my 50 Freestyle but I guess I was a little excited cause the official said I moved on the block so I got DQ'ed but at least I broke 30, unofficially.  I got my BB time in 100 FR and B time in 200 IM.  I wasn't supposed to swim 200 IM but got put in that by mistake instead of 100 BR, oh well.  I has a good swim and cut 14 seconds off my time. 

I can't wait til tomorrow to do my 200 FR and my 100 IM.  Those should be good events for me.  I'll update all my other times tomorrow! 

Gotta go play in the snow    I have a new snow board I want to try out.  See ya!

I have another meet this weekend.  These are my times I have now and my goals.  I went over my goals with my coach and she said I could make all of them.  I have worked really hard and I hope I make them. 

I hope we have the meet.  We might get snow and then they might cancel it.   I really want to swim.  I want to swim more than I want to play in the snow, but that would be fun too. 

My little brother can't swim this weekend cause he's been really sick.  I had a fever of 103.7 this week and is pretty sick.  He wishes he could swim or play in the snow but can't do either. 

OK, I'll let you know how I do in my meet.  I hope I get my BB times and break 30 seconds in 50 freestyle cause then we get a pizza party.  I'll write later and let you know if I make it.

    Well I'm finally back. This week has been crazy, between school and evening activities.

I have a new friend and he swims, too. His blog is KDQSwims And he's looking for ideas for a comic that he's making about these two kids who live in a world where Dinosauis still exist.

I am going to swim in a meet this weekend ( like I said in my last entry ) and I hope that I won't get DQ'd. The rules are strict. You can't move when you're on the starting blocks.  You have to step up on the starting blocks at the same time, and you have to go down to start at the same time.  If you don't, you get DQed.

I've been camping two times in the past couple weeks.  One weekend I went with my Boys Scout troop.  We stayed in a cabin and did a Ropes Challenge.  It was awesome.  We player Capture the Flag, too.  It was so much fun. 

The other weekend,  I went with my family and friends.  We had a blast.  We made a kingdom in the woods. I got to use the hatchet and chop wood.  We went on a flashlight walk.   We went to the beach, too.  We got really sandy so my  friends mom let us ride home in the trunk.  My mom got a picture of us.  I'm on the left, my brother is on the right and my friend is in the middle.  

We got to go fishing too.  We went two times on Saturday and I caught three fish.  Then, on the last day, we went fishing one last time. Here's a piture of my fishing spot.  

I caught two blue gills.  Here is a picture of one. 

I REALLY like fishing.  I hope I can go again soon.  I was supposed to go today but we ended up not going.  I hope we can go soon.

I am so excited.  I get to go camping two weekends in a row.  First, I am going with my family and our friends.  We have campsites right next to each other.  We are going to do some fishing.  I can't wait.  This is our family tent.  We have lots of room in it.  We even keep the dogs in there with us. 

Then, the very next weekend.  I get to go camping again.  This time it's with my BoyScout troop.  It should be a blast.  I am really excited to go.  It will be only my second campout with scouts..

I love camping.  It is one of my favorite things to do, especially in the fall, when it's not as hot.  But, the nights can get pretty cold.  Last year, we went once when the nights got really cold.  My sleeping bag is really warm , though, so I was ok. 

See ya!

I hope this isn't pride but I thought this picture my mom took of me doing a double front flip off the diving board was kind of cool.  What do you think?  I love to do flips!!!

My mom got a video of it too.  I'll try to figure out how to put it up.  Thanks for coming to my page.

See ya, off to bed!

     Today me and my brother are going to the cardinals game in St. Louis with some friends.  They are playing the Pittsburgh Pirates.   I hope that the Cardinals win.  They still have a chance to go to the Playoffs. I Hope that they win the world series again.

    When I was at the store the other day I say a tv comercial that said the Olympics Starts August 8th, 2008. My favorite sports are Tennis, Diving, and Swimming. The Olympic swimmers are really, really good.  My favorite is Michael Phelps. When I grow up I want to go to the Olympics in either swimming Diving or Tennis. 

My new swim team starts this week.  I can't wait.  I am swimming 5 days a week.  I could swim 6 but I want to still go to Boy Scouts.  I still have to go get my own kick board, fins and tennis balls for team.  My other team I didn't have to have my own but this one I do. 

Boy Scouts starts this week too.  I finally earned my Tenderfoot.  I had to do a 30 day fitness with 1-mile run, standing long jump, situps, and pushups.  I finally finished.  I ran the mile in 7:51.57, did 20 pushups and 68 situps, and jumped 5'8".   Now I have to go on a couple campouts and I have my Second Class.  Can't wait!

      Well I'm back. Two of my friends just got blogs you should go check them out, there Monkeyman And Taterman And Fakelink ( It realy is a fake link ). 

Well My mom got an e-mail that said I got on the swim team and my first practice is on September 6 and I can't wait to start. My little brothers have already been on the team for a year I didn't try out when they did, because I played baseball and it would interfere with my swimming scedule. The group that I made swims Mon, Tue, Wed, Thur, Fri, And Saturday, but I'm taking Thursdays off for scouts. I'm missing my first scout meeting though because my first swim practice is on the same day. but from then on I will be taking Thursdays off. I only do have to swim 4 days a week but I'm swimming Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, And Saturday.

My fall baseball program ends soon. I haven't made my mind if I'm going to play spring ball or not because of swimming.  My team won our last game, the score was 10 To 4. We've only lost one game this year so far I  hope that we have a good season

Today was very fun.  First, we went "junking," (garage saling).  We got a microscope and some other stuff. 

Then, we went to the pool.  First, I went to the diving board and I learned how to do a 1 1/2 (a full flip ending in a dive so you go around 1 1/2 times).   Then, I went and played in the "lazy river" and went down the slide a few times.  Then, I went back to the diving board and did more 1 1/2's.  I tried a double flip but just kept landing on my back ---OUCH --so I went back to 1 1/2's. 

Then, when we came back to our house, we had dinner.  For dinner we had Pasta Bake and oranges.  For dessert, we had homemade oatmeal cookies.  While we ate, we watched Left Behind 2-tribulation Force, which is a movie we got this morning when we went junking.  After that, I wrote this entry. 

Now, I'm going to read for 30 minutes and go to bed. 

Good Night  :-)

Tonight was a blast.  We were at some friends house while my mom worked concession stand duty for my baseball.  Anyway, when they found out it was my mom's birthday, we all decided to surprise her with a little party.  We hung up streamers all over their house, put a tablecloth on the table with birthday plates,  we all made birthday cards for her, their mom took a picture of my brothers and I and put it in a frame.  Then  we made something that said Happy Birthday out of legos.  It was really cool.

When my mom got there, we all hid and surprised her.  She cried.  I think she was happy.

We had chicken and bean enchilades for dinner and cantaloupe with ice cream in it for dessert.  It was great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM (if you read this)

Well turns out we still have 1-2 more games to play.  This weekend.  I think we are still in 1st place in our league.  They're having a Tournament of Champions.  We play one game.  If we win that one, we play the second game.  If we win that, we get hats.  Hmmmmmmm

Here are some pictures of me warming up to pitch:  

 (sorry it's kind of blurry)

Swim team is over for the summer.  We have our final thing tonight.  They keep the pool open til 10pm for us.  It's fun swimming in the dark.  They also chuck cans of soda in the pool and we get to go diving for them.  IT's fun.

I tried out for another swim team for the fall and made the group I wanted.  I am so excited.  It's gonna be really hard though.  I was soooooo tired at tryouts after they made me swim a bunch of IM's in the meter pool.  I am gonna be swimming 5 times a week.  I can't wait.
