Whats Happnin?

Hey there friends
I just wanted to give you some quick updates on things that are going on for me right now. (does anybody actually care?)

1. State
In about 48 hours I will be on my way (a 5 hour drive) to Saint George for one of the most important meets of the year...STATE MEET! If I do well at state meet (get a certain all around score) then that means I qualify to go to regionals...which just so happens to be in LONG BEACH! Hell Heck Yes!!! (Are you happy Kalli?). Anywho I am suuuupper excited to go to the warm weather and poolside lemonades in saint george but I am also super nervous! I may or may not write a blog post about it but idk bro.

2. New Schedule/Training
If you don't know this (I don't know why you would) but I am no longer doing the same training schedule and I am not training with Tina anymore. Xcel Gold (Maggie, Kylie, Tasia and Brenna) are training with the level 6 girls now which is AWESOME!! The coaches are much better and I love getting to train more hours per week! The only thing that kinda sucks is that we don't get to train with Emery...single tear

3. Bye Tasia
Tasia has told us the extremely sad news that she isn't going to compete next year. She is going to finish out this competition season and then quit. She does have a good reason though. She is a pro ski racer and skiing and gymnastics just don't mesh very well. It sucks but it's better for her because she had a crazy insane athletic schedule. When she wasn't skiing she was at gym and when she wasn't at gym she was at school. She also gets a lot of injuries which sucks because injuries suck.

Well I guess that's all I have to say in this post. I really have no idea what to post so you guys should leave comments telling me what you want me to post about. Hey guess what...this is my last post of this quarter! Wow that went by really fast! If you didn't know already, we are required to have a link and a picture in all of our blog posts. I don't really know what to put a picture of so I'll just give you a picture of the hotel I'm staying at in St. George...

The hotel i'm staying at in St. George...can you tell
why I'm excited?!?! Creds

Team Dinners Part 2

Oh hello there friends. Welcome back

If you are cool then you probs read my post called team dinners and in that post I mentioned that I would be making "Team Dinners Part 2"...so here it is...

The Spaghetti and Salmon Dinner

The spaghetti and salmon dinner was hosted by Brenna and it was at her house (obviously). This one was very fun because Brenna is like super rich and so she has a huge basement and it has a beam, tumbling mats, and more! As you can imagine, a bunch of gymnasts with a huge basement and gymnastics equipment made for a very fun night. Another super fun thing we did was play twister... This may not sound super exciting but when you are a gymnast and you can do backbends and splits and such, it was very exciting and much more fun!

Quotes of the night:

"hold on one sec, I have to go fart in a pillow" -Brenna

Brenna: *farts*  ♫"oops I did it again"♫

(Playing twister) *Maggie pushes Kylie over* "I win!"

All in all the spaghetti and salmon dinner was a very fun night and one of my favorite team dinners so far!

Here are some pictures and videos from that night.

Twister!

Just to give you an idea of what our team dinners are like...

The Chinese Dinner

Now I bet you're wondering, why the heck did you have a Chinese dinner?? This dinner was hosted by Tasia. Her dad just so happens to be the Chinese teacher at Roland Hall so he decided to make us Chinese food.  Tasia lives right across the street from PCMR and also right across the street from A private pool.  It was super fun because it was just me Tasia and Brenna (everyone else was out of town) and we had so much fun running around the neighborhood and night swimming in the pool.   When we got back from the pool dinner was ready and let me just say it was delicious!

Storytime!  You can imagine in the middle of February it was quite cold outside and we happened to be walking around in our swimsuits so to stay warm, we wrapped our towels around our necks like capes and it was quite funny because we looked ridiculous and we were pretending that we were Buzz lightyear.

Another Story! When we were done swimming we decided to get showers at the pool.  As I mentioned earlier we walked there in our swimsuits so we didn't exactly have clothes with us. After our shower I used my towel as a skirt and Tasia's sweatshirt as a shirt and I looked very hysterically terrible!

Here are some of the pictures that we took that night! (we tried to be artsy in the picture of us jumping into the pool together... Shortly after taking that picture, tasia pretty much landed on me in the pool which was not a very fun time)

Gosh darn it I'm already at my word limit!

Guess that's it for this post

Team Dinners

Every Competition, we have a team dinner the night before. Every dinner has a specific theme, here are some stories of the team dinners this year.

The Spaghetti and Chicken Dinner
The first dinner was hosted by ME and it was the spaghetti and chicken dinner. It was christmas themed because the meet was christmas themed. When you walked into my house there was a little tree with presents that had fuzzy socks in them and they were freaking adorable. (It'll make sense later)

Aren't I such a good drawer?

So here are some stories from this dinner.

1. Emery passes out
At dinner we were telling funny stories from practice and we were all laughing so hard and I'm pretty sure someone spiked the apple cider...but anyways Emery was laughing really really hard and she started choking on her food and that just made her laugh more and she fell off her chair and passed out because she was laughing/choking so hard. It was great.

2. Slip N Slide
As I mentioned earlier, we all had fuzzy socks on. Now I happen to have hardwood floors in my house and things were just doomed from the beginning. First of all, Emery was running and then she stopped but not really because she slid for like 20 feet before she hit the edge of the carpet and flew forward and face planted onto my couch.  Next, Brenna slid on the floor and plowed down Tasia in the process. THEN being the idiots we are, we decided to do gymnastics on the hardwood floor. (I never said we were smart) Brenna did an aerial and when her feet landed on the floor they slid and she ended up in the splits!

The Pork and Penne Dinner
The pork and penne dinner was hosted by Kylie and it was before Bailies.

Here are some funny stories:
1. The swing room
Kylie has a room in her house that nobody uses so her parents installed swings and BOOM "the swing room". Anyways, we were all up in the swing room and it wasn't necessarily one thing that happened but we were basically all swinging into each other and the wall and we all ended up bruised and semi concussed.

I'm sure something really hilarious happened at that dinner that I don't remember but I seriously don't remember much from that dinner...maybe someone spiked the apple cider again...Thanks obama

That's all the words I have room for in this post so I guess I'll have to make a part 2!

Kylie.

Kylie. Farber.

My bae

Kylie didn't make it into my first post which just so happened to be about my team.  This is because Kylie wasn't even on the team yet.  But she is now sooooo...

By the way....

A history
Kylie was born on June 20th, 2002 in Utah. (does anybody actually care?)  Kylie used to be in the optional levels which pretty much means that she was REALLY good!  Unfortunately,  she broke her foot and couldn't do gymnastics for a year.  As you can imagine, Kylie lost a ton of skills from being away for so long.  When she came back, she joined the Xcel team.  (just so you know, Xcel Gold is about the equivalent of level 5/6).  So that's where we are now, months later, she's on the Gold team.

Funny Times
Here is a list of hilarious stories that have happened with Kylie.

1. One day, me and Kylie decided to race across the beams.  We were going to jump over each beam until we got to the end. Like this...
   

Anyways, we thought that we were GENIUS and that this would be great!! So we ran and started jumping over the beams. Kylie however, tripped over a beam and face planted into the ground...taking me with her.

2. One time (last weekend to be exact) the whole team was over at Kylie's house.  We were up in her room dancing and such (as girls do) and we noticed these boys were staring at us rather creepily (is that a word?) We watched them secretly and they went back to their house. But then, like 10 minutes later, they came back...with a cross bow.  They started hiking this mountain right behind Kylie's house.  We decided to follow them (and be spies). We got in all black clothes and started secretly hiking up the mountain behind them. At one point Brenna (in the back) whispers," Guys, guys...spy selfie" at that moment it was like the funniest thing ever because she was trying to hold out her phone and take a picture and Kylie was trying to push her down so she wouldn't give us away and she was like duck facing as she was trying to push her and it was one of the funniest things i've ever seen. Anyways the boys mysteriously disappeared and we ended up just hiking to the top of the mountain to watch the sun set. It was a good time.

So yeah! That's all you need to know about Kylie Farber. Did anybody actually read this entire post? That's all for now kids...
Bye Y'all

GO AWAY!

If you are reading this, STOP!

K go

But really you need to go away and read some other blogs

I am here to tell you of the other blogs that you should read because they're so hip.

Ella's Blog
Ella's Blog is one of the best ones out there. Its about a bunch of stupid stuff...hence every one of her blog titles.  I loooove her blog and I laugh so hard every time I read it.  If you aren't reading Ella's blog, I don't know what you're doing with your life.  She is so consistent with her posts (unlike me) and will not let you down! She blogs about the most random and relatable things ever and I highly recommend checking out her blog.

#SneakPeek

Zia's Blog
Sometimes when I read Zia's blog I have to contain myself and try not to laugh so hard that I pee my pants. Zia blogs about some of the funniest things and stories that I love reading.  She likes to make fun of her past self and rant about her satanic step mother.  If you have not yet read Zia's blog you should give up and go home (and also read her blog).

Some quotes from her blog:

"She's got all these connections because she's practically a goddess so I will use her to get in contact with the president of Bangladesh, Abdul Hamid, and convince him into adopting me."

"That was pretty much because before then I had absolutely no life and pretty much spent all of the time pretending I was a water buffalo"

"My dad broke up with {My step mom} because he finally realized what a psychotic bitch she was!"

Zia's Blog

Allie's Blog
Allie ain't cho ordinary gal...and neither is her blog.  Every other girl in 9th grade honors english blogs about the same thing...their life, beauty, and rants about everything.  Allie on the other hand blogs about scary stuff and the illuminati and conspiracy theories and such. BTW I get creds for Illumi-NAH-ti And even though she NEVER POSTS ANYTHING!!! she is still cool and so is her blog so...

Allie's Blog

Teia's Blog
So basically I don't read Teia's blog in public because I don't like publicly laughing like a donkey while falling off my chair and peeing my pants because her blog is so gosh darn funny!  She makes fun of everything in the best way possible and I just love it.  If you haven't read Teia's blog yet...I strongly recommend that you do because it's great.

Some quotes from Teia's Blog:

"Paris: Juliet is hot.
Mr. Capulet: Nah son, she's like 12.
Paris: Oh well she's hot, I'll probs marry her."

"It might just be me, but I feel like the president looks a lot like Barack Obama?? I think this could be the start of a revolution."

"Once my bra strap showed by accident when I was at school and police sirens started to sound and children started to cry and the government shut down and buildings blew up and I got suspended because nobody can know teenage girls wear bras."

Teia's Blog

AAAAAANNNNYWAY
That's all the blogs I can tell y'all about because i'm at my word limit. I'll probs make part 2.

K Bye
