Basketball

Right now I am trying out for the Sunset Junior High Basketball team. I am also on a comp team, the Salt Lakers, with my friend, Andrew. The Utah Jazz are also starting their season soon (right now they are in preseason). I am so excited!

Going to Scout Camp

I am going to go to Scout Camp this Wednesday through Saturday and I will be gone. But now I'm 13! Sorry I haven't written in awhile. You can do me a big favor by viewing this  video and telling your friends.

Forum

The TJed Family Forum was fun. I went both days with Ben. It was at the Salt Palace in Salt Lake City, Utah. We had so much fun exploring, eating, and messing around.

What is Coming

I am writing on a Tuesday. On Wednesday, I have a basketball game and young men. I have my classes on Thursday and a Recognition night that night. Then, I am going to my Grandma's House and going to a convention on Friday and Saturday.

We Finally Won!

The Sunset Junior High comp team finally won! The final score was 41-34, in our favor. Our other center, Ryan, wasn't there so I had to play basically the whole game. I finished with 10 points, around 5 rebounds, a steal, and 4 fouls. I was only out for part of the game because of my foul trouble. Also, I made this Youtube video of the NBA's top 10 dunks.

Brief Overview

I played a soccer game on Saturday and we tied, 4-4. I was going for the game winning goal but it was blocked, then the game ended. We had church on Sunday and didn't do much Monday. I went to my Mock Trial class on Tuesday.

Part 2 of This Week's Summary

You can also see our video on the video bar to your right. It is the one with the person sitting in a hole with a basket. Anyway, on Wednesday night our comp team had a basketball game and we lost, 58-14. The other team had a 6-2 dark-skinned 7th grader who could touch the rim (he almost dunked it once on a fast break). I didn't have a very good game either, because I shot 1-5 from the field and I was 0-2 from the line. The only shot I made was a lucky circus shot, and I also had my share of turnovers. Our team isn't very good; we have only won once this whole season (which is the whole time we have been a team). Once, we lost 82-12. On Thursday, I went with Ben to our classes. We have a American History and Government class and a Shakespeare Class. We are in a Romeo and Juliet play and if you want to come, you can watch the video on the video bar and it has the info for the play. I hung out with Ben after, but only for a short time. Our basement flooded and my mom picked me up from his house. My dad, me, and a couple of our neighbors worked on it for the rest of the night. I didn't really do anything on Friday. Actually, I just put the video right here! Please watch it!

An Overview of This Week Part 1

On Easter Saturday, our family went to the park, then a Japanese restaurant. I was surprised how good some of the food was (we didn't have any sushi though). I got the new movie, "The Making of Jimmer", candy, a tie, a belt, and some flip flops. I watched the movie that night and I loved it. On Sunday, we went to church and went on a walk and that was pretty much it (besides our elaborate Easter Dinner). We didn't do much on Monday and I had my Mock Trial class on Tuesday. It is fun because we do American History, Mock Trial, Debate, and Parliamentary Procedure. I had basketball practice that night. On Wednesday, Ben and I finished our movie, and it was really funny.

Days Before Easter

We went to a concert on Friday night at the Alpine Tabernacle called "The Lamb of God". It was cool. Then our family went to our grandma's house and went to bed. We woke up and we went to Salt Lake with our cousins. First we went to the Church History Museum and saw some paintings, Then we went to the Utah Capitol Building and took a tour. It was really cool. We had an Easter egg hunt when we got back and we watched the Jazz game later. (They won against the Warriors) Then we drove home. Me and Ben are making this funny movie to advertise the Romeo and Juliet Play we are doing in our Shakespeare Class. You can see it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=do-38H2oPfk

Trip to Grandma's House

We were at our Grandma's House from Saturday to Tuesday with our cousins. We had General Conference Saturday and Sunday. I went to the Hunger Games movie on Monday. It was good, but the book was way better. We also went to the new mall in Salt Lake. We pretty much chilled on Tuesday, watching movies and playing basketball. Then, we drove home. We are going back on Thursday.

General Conference

Today we watched the first two sessions of LDS General Conference. I also played NBA 2K10 with my 6-year old brother, Moses, and lost by two, because I missed a layup at the buzzer (I let him win). Then I went with my dad to the old LDS conference Center to watch the priesthood session with my Grandpa, Uncles, and Cousin, Dennis. We went to the Training Table afterwards and had some cheese fries with a root beer float and burger. We are staying with our cousins at our Grandma's house for the next couple of days.

Mock Trial Party

Yesterday I went to my grandma's house and did school (I am homeschooled). Then I came home and had a party with my mock trial team since we were the fifth best junior high school mock trial team in Utah. It was fun. We had a campfire, played games, and roasted marshmallows.

I would like to introduce my new blog to everyone. I will be posting about things I do.
