Guess what??!!!??



Nastia's Dad on the left and Nastia on the right. Valeri Liukin is soooo proud of his daughter.


WE WON THE GOLD & SILVER!!!!!!!






Thursday night was the women's gymnastics all-round competition were Nastia Liukin 18 year old from Parker, Tx and 16 year old Shawn Johnson from West DesMoines, Iowa competed to keep the Gold medal in the United States. Carly Patterson one of my favorite gymnast who is also from North Texas won the the Gold medals in the 2004 Olympics in Athens 4 years ago for the first time since Mary Lou Retten in the 1992 Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia. Then comes Nastia Liukin, her dad and coach Valeri Liukin won 4 medals in the 1988 Seoul games and her mom Anna Liukin competed in Rhythmic gymnastics, so all the reporters are saying that its in Nastia blood to win gold. When Nastia and Shawn won the gold and silver medals that was the first time in history(i'm not sure if its just u.s. or if its olympic history) anyone has gone one and two in the Olympics. CONGRATULATION NASTIA & SHAWN!!

Sky Ranch!!!!

My very very stupid camera cord!!! aaaahhhhhh!!!

Okay so the reason I haven't posted any new pictures is because the cord to my camera has something wrong with the wire, so it now it won't connect to my computer. So until I get a new cord I'm going crazy, the card on my camera is getting full, and you aren't seeing any new pics, like the one i took at kids kamp, some pics I took of my sisters and I, and different things like that.

2008 Beijing Olympics!!

So I'm like totally obsessed with the Olympics!! I have been like counting down the days. I even have a sticker on my facebook that says, "can't wait for 08/08/08"

My favorite events are the swimming, Gymnastics and Volleyball.

My favorite athletes are Michael Phelps age 23,(swimming) who also has I think like 9or 10 Olympic medals. And like 6 of those are GOLD. Then there is Nastia Luikin(gymnastics) age 18 and she is from Parker, TEXAS!! and Nastia trains at a gym in Frisco. She is competing for a gold medal in the all-round finals tonight at 11:00 p.m., CAN'T WAIT!!! Also competing tonight in the all-round competition is another one of my favorites 16 year old Shawn Johnson from Iowa. Shawn Johnson and Nastia Luikin and the rest of the U.S.A team won the silver at the team finals Tuesday night, they lost to China by like 2 1/2 points. My other favorite gymnast is Johnathon Horton on the men's U.S. team and he is from Houston, TEXAS!! He finished 10th or 11th last night in the all-round competing.

So their you have it. You now know you I'm betting on for the Olympics. Just kidding I don't bet. But they are my favorites!!

Konosis Trip '07

Me on a rock in the same river we went white water rafting in. We had to walk on all of those stones just to get to the BIG rock and then had to jump on to it, and it was very slick.
All of the girls in my group including me. Layne, Tori, Victoria and Jordan (above)K's burgers.OMGsh the best burgers and strawberry malt on the planet!! Last summer I got to go on a retreat with the 8th grade girls leadership group at church. Me along with 4 other 8th grade girls, one high school Jr.counselor and three adult leaders were in two different cars for 18-19 hours heading to Buena Vista, Colorado. So these are a few of the pics of me and some of my friends. We went to the Noahs Ark White Water Rafting and camping grounds in Buena Vista, CO. Where we went White Water Rafting. We also climbed the Great Sand Dunes of CO and went horse back riding up into the mountains,we also just hung out in our tent after paying 50 cents for a cold shower. :( But we had a blast. :)
Me and my friend Layne Carter. We have been friends since 3rd grade.
Layne on the same rock I was on just from a different point of view. One night while everyone else was in the tent getting ready for bed, Layne and I layed out side on the picnic table and just talked and just looked at the stars, we hadn't had a chance to talk likle that in a long time.
