After an intense season of baseball I guess my advanced skills have finally payed off after all. I got chosen to be on the 13 year old Washington All- Star team. I had only dropped one fly ball in the outfield the whole season out of a bunch that came out to me. My pitching wasn't doing so hot this year tho... But I like center field a little more anyway. So far my practices have lasted 3 to 4 hours each. I have a bunch of pulled muscles and I'm kinda sore on my shoulder blades. But other than that I like being on the team. It's really fun.

Stolen!
As you may have read on the title of my post something was stolen. That thing which was stolen was my cell phone. So this is how it happened:
Me and my friend Jacee were at the Washington Rec. Center and we got a locker and put our stuff in it. I put my phone in my locker and we shut it and went swimming. When we came back my stuff in my locker was moved around and my phone was missing. There were about fifteen other people in the locker room so it could have been any of them. So me and Jacee went to the front desk to ask if someone had brought it over to them which I knew no one had because what would be the point in stealing a phone if you were just going to turn it into the front desk... But anyway the lady at the desk just said, "It's not our problem." and got some guy to go look for us. He was atleast a little bit nicer and told us no one had turned it in and when he went to look around he couldn't find it.
Now I have a new phone. It's my mom's old Razor cell phone. She liked her old cell phone better so she let me have hers. So now me and my mom will check back at the rec. center in another couple of days.

SCHOOL IS OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally! School is out for the summer! I've been waiting so long for summer break. It's good to get away from all the work and stuff. I had good grades so my mom bought me a new hat that I've been bugging her for. My grades and percentages in my classes were:
Science: B 85%
Shop/Tech: B+ 87%
Band:A 96%
Language Arts:A 98%
Pre-Algebra:B 84%
Keyboarding:A 110%
The second to last day of school I got an award for typing 128 words per minute or something like that. It was cool.
In other news, my baseball career is going pretty good. My team beat the Pine View Freshman team. Now that the season is over my team is doing an elimination tournament. It's gonna be fun. My first tournament game is tomorrow (wednesday) at 5:30 if you want to come. It's at the Washington Baseball fields. It's going to be intense, trust me.

Another Baseball Post. And Some Other Things
My baseball team is great. We weren't the best team to start out with, but we made improvements every game. And for those of who were wondering I am pitching this year I am. I pitched at one of my games and got 3 strikeouts. We also won one of our games 18 to 4! It was really fun crushing the other team. They were undefeated before we beat them.
Baseball is great and everything but I'll give some updates about school.
In my first period which is Science my friend's phone went off in the middle of class and Mrs. Goettsche didn't even hear it. I did and I was all the way on the other side of the room and Mrs. Goettsche was standing right next to him. In my second period class which is Tech we are making commercials. My group hasn't really decided what we're doing yet but it will be fun to do. In my third period class (band) we went to Desert Hills High School and competed against other schools. We got good ratings and walked out of there with a Superior. That's the highest rank you can get. In Language Arts we just mailed off business letters that we typed to a certain company saying how good a certain snack is that they make. I wrote to Kellogg's and said how good Rice Krispies Treats are. In Pre- Algebra I'm keeping up with my work so far. I have a B+ in that class I think. And in sixth period which is Keyboarding I'm the fastest typer in my class. My fastest typing speed is 128 GWAM. I don't exactly know what GWAM stands for but I know that how you measure the speed of your typing. Im also the fastest typer in the class and I am the farthest ahead in my lessons. So thats a little bit of whats going on lately. I'll try to update this more often but I have baseball every other night and a bunch of homework that its hard to get on my blog...

Baseball and Other Stuff
First of all I'm sorry I haven't put a post on here in awhile. I've been really busy lately with school work and what not. But good news is I'm on a baseball team now. Our team name is the Royals and I think we have a pretty good team. I'm in the Pony league. That's a step above Majors in the Washington City League. This year I have a 16 year old, two or three 15 year olds, a couple of 14 year olds and a few thirteen year olds. One of them would be me. My team might have to play a Pine View High School team later on in the season and we play a lot of hurricane teams this year. Yesterday I got a new baseball mitt and new batting gloves. I haven't completely broken in the baseball mitt yet but I'm working on it. But I'm gonna tell about some other stuff like how I know have unlimited texting on my phone, I have a visible mustache now, I'm keeping my grades up in school, I got sunburned when I went up to Brian Head a couple of days ago to go tubing with my Jacee and Kaden. It was Jacee's birthday at the time, I can play my trumpet pretty good now, I think twilight is dumb, I'm the fastest typer in my keyboarding class, and my favorite food is steak with spinach cooked inside with mashed taters.

Cell Phone + Klondike = :)
Yeah! I got a cell phone. Actually I got it a week ago I was just waiting till after the Klondike to write about it. After about the 4th day of having my cell phone I had used up half of my minutes.
My Mom and Dad are thinking about putting me on their T Mobile plan, and if I do get put on their plan I get a Razor. Now for the Klondike. When we got up to the camping place we dug out our little campsite. It was covered in a couple feet of snow. (not as much snow as last year though) Then we built our snow caves. Me and Kaden were sharing one but we made ours way too small and I got claustrophobic and Me and Kaden went to a giant pavilion place that's open all night for scouts that get cold and stuff. Doug and Chance followed behind us because their cave was too small too. So we all slept in this pavilion place on chairs. My back hurt when I woke up. The next morning we did a sled course that we started a fire on, went ice fishing, did a compass course, did a rope rescue, and a blindfolded maze type of thing. It was way funner than last year.

My Cousin: The Missionary
Me and my family went up to Grantsville to see my cousin give his farewell speach in church. He will soon be leaving for Switzerland for his mission. I'm going to miss him because he's one of my favorite cousins. But I'm glad he's going on a mission, and that just makes me want to go on one myself when I'm nineteen. I can't wait.

Four Wheeler
Due to the fact that my four wheeler couldn't start for a couple days I was delayed on riding it. But rest assured I have ridin it and it was FUN. My friend gave me his old helmet, chest protector, riding shirt, and goggles. Him and his dad took my out riding in Warner Valley on Friday. The next day my dad took me and my friend Jacee riding out to the southern end of Warner Valley and rode for about an hour, we would have kept riding but it was so dang cold. The wind was blowing and the temperature had to at least be below 30 degrees. Plus when your riding you have the wind blowing at you as you ride so we had 2 cold winds blowing at us. But it was fun anyways.

SNOW DAY!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, it's finally a snow day down here. Me and friends were having snow ball fights with some of our friends and carolling. Then when I got home and went to bed my friend calls and says "Tommorow's a snow day!" So I had to get onto my school's website to make sure. Sure enough he was telling the truth. But it's supposed to rain this afternoon which stinks...

Snowing!
I was suprised myself when I heard on the news: "Southern Utah will be getting 1-4 inches of snow in the next few days. That includes St. George." So I was all exited when it started snowing. It stopped the next day but it started snowing again today.

Campout + Basketball
I went on a campout with the scouts a couple days ago but I forgot to write about it. And just to tell you I didn't get burned this time. Anyways I went to Red Cliffs, which is out by Leeds, to go camping. My scout leader, Brother Hall, had saved us a campground the day before we went up there, but when we got up there someone had taken our spot and we had to find a new one. We ended up in this spot that had a cliff in the back of it, and on top of the cliff and back behind it was a little valley. We played capture the flag there. The next morning we went home and I had to get ready for my basketball game. We won our game and our score was 46 and the other team's score was 27.

Random Stuff Part 2
This is the sequel to my other post 'Random Stuff' that I wrote back in the good ol' days. Anyways I think I finally got on my band teacher's good side! And in my own opinion I think I'm the best trumpet player in my class. (No offense Jacee) I'm doin' pretty good in Pre- Algebra, I finally mastered the skill of riding all three of my bikes no- handed and I ride my bike to Wendy's with my friends sometimes. I have like 280 song on my iPod. I'm like 5 foot 7 and a quarter, maybe more. My basketball team is awesome. Me and my old scout leader share the same birth date. I don't like a lot of sauce on my spaghetti. I fall asleep in most of my classes. I play the trumpet. That's all I can think of at this particular moment in time.
