Piano Shopping

My mom and I went piano shopping the other day and yesterday it arrived! We chose a piano from the Piano Gallery store in Salt Lake. It was a beautiful brown color. It has a wonderful design on the legs and has a top that lifts up. I am excited to start playing and practicing more. I have been using a keyboard for two years so I am really ready for this. 

Swim Team

I recently joined the Nephi Recreation Swim Team. My second meet was in Delta Utah. The first event we raced in was the front crawl (freestyle). It was not my beat one because I didn't feel warmed up yet, but I still took second place. Next, was the back stroke. This was a close race and I could hear lots of yelling just before I touched the wall. I won!  Finally I did the breast stroke. This is my favorite and my best event. I won first place on that one too. Clearly, I had a good day at my swim meet. 

Sleeping on the trampoline

The third night of summer we slept out on the trampoline. It was the perfect night to spend outside. There was a breeze,but it didn't blow hard and it didn't rain. My mom, Ladd, Jack and I all slept right in the middle of the trampoline. We took turns telling stories and then just as we were about to fall asleep, our dog, Luke, jumped on to join us. He must have felt left out. In the middle of the night my mom woke up to find Jack and Luke having a conversation at our feet. I am not sure Jack ever really went to sleep. But I sure did! I loved every minute of it. 

Summer 2014

Now that school is out I can blog again! So far this summer has been both busy and fun. The first week we spent mostly doing yard work. I am finally old enough to plant flowers by myself. This year we planted more than any other year. I hope our yard brings in lots of bees. Planting flowers is my way of thanking them for all the honey I eat.
