Audrey's 6th Birthday
















Audrey's Birthday was a success! The theme was Hannah Montana Pop Star party. First as they arrived they all got a purse and had to put on their pop star disguise. Then they signed autograph's while each of them had a photo shoot. Then we played pin the microphone on to Hannah. They liked that a lot. We then got to decorate cupcakes and take one home as their masterpiece. Now it was concert time they sang to Hannah Music with their blow up microphone's and rocked out the show. Then it was the awards ceremony where Donovan and Shauna pasted out the trophy's. After that we headed outside where a pinata was waiting. Finally we ended the party with balloons falling on there heads because it was the best concert ever! We had a great time!

Shauna takes the ACT TEST




when I took the ACT I was so elated even though I did not finish any of the tests. I just thought of it as a test that I had to take to see how smart I was. When I got to Pineridge high school and was about to take the test I saw a couple of friends from school. I got to the knowings that I was not the only 4th grader there.when I got done I wanted to pass but I'll never know until 5 to 6 weeks after the test ended.

Junior Olympics











Ok this is Donovan's version of what happened at the Junior Olympics (Donovan is typing this not my mom). A couple weeks ago my coach, Kristin Locthe, asked mom if i could go to the Junior Olympics (i will call it J.Os) she said it would be good exposure. mom of course asked "will he be swimming?" Kristin said i would be swimming four relays. Then without hesitation mom said yes he will be going. This all happened when i was in the showers with my friends, go figure lol.











so maybe a week later me and my dad were going to J.Os but in order to get to Gainsville where it was held we had to wake up at four in the morning and boy could i not sleep. I think i woke up three times in the night one at 9, the next at 12, and finally the last one at 2. So i decided to stay up until we had to go. we then left to go pick up one of my relay teammates (the guy in the middle hanging from my arm like a monkey). we then got over to Gainsville at 7am granite we got lost..... a lot.






I then got on my swim suit that i just bought a couple days before and met all my team mates. I was so excited to do our first relay i think i nearly look like a giddy school girl lol. As you can see from the picture above taken by the oh masterful picture taker aka: dad you can see i was the tallest so that made me first. The guy that's mouth is open thinking (oh we're taking a picture?) ya that's will and he was our third man. the guy that I introduced before this paragraph he was our second man and his name is Raaef ( if you have watched Achmed the dead terrorist his name is pronounced like this Ra-a-a-f lol he hates that). and the guy that was looking away with the black head cap ya he was our last man in other words the anchor His name was john. well we had to do a i think it was a 200 free relay. i went first and i decreased my best time for a fifty free by 3 or 4 seconds. but as i was coming in to touch the wall Raaef decided to leave early so we got DQued. Then our next one for the day was a 400 medley i was pretty nervous because it was our first medley that we had ever done. i had to go first .... again doing the back stroke. fallowed by will doing his breaststroke and then john with his majestic butterfly and finally the moment we all were waiting for the screw up and his freestyle better known as Raaef. we decreased that relay time by 14 seconds which is a big deal when your talking swimming. then me and dad dropped of Raaef at his hotel and went to go see the movie push. it wasn't the greatest movie in the world but i liked it. then we waited until our Friend got home so we could sleep staying up for about a whole day with exercise kinda kills you. then the next day we went to the o' Connell center better known for the swimming pool for the gators sense i was at UF (university of Florida) home of the gators. raced the 200 medley and the 400 free. we got 3 and 4 in those races. which was good considering that there was four people in the first race and five people in the second race. then we went home after the big monster meet of nothing but girls. i think we were the only good looking guys there. lol but if you put your stuff down it Will get either barred or sat on. when we got home i practically fell asleep from all the swimming. but i couldn't because it was Auds B-day. hectic i have never seen so much Hana Montana. with that said i will get off of the computer and retire from typing for the rest of my life.
