Happy Birthday... to MANY! (and other... happenings)

4 birthdays may not sound like a lot, but it is! Yesterday was Sydney's, Cookies (friends mom), and Jerry's (friends dad) birthdays! Then on Thursday it was Sarah's (aunt... maybe favorite) birthday... age is confidential. Sydney had her 10th birthday party at the Sheridon Hotel in SF (Sioux Falls for non-locals). I couldn't go, I was busy:( Sarah (aunt... mybe favorite) had a SUPRISE birthday party at Phil and Judy's house, and I went to that. Fun, but I was tired at the end... a little late for me after getting up early that morning.
Why I was up that early, you ask? Well, I'd be happy to explain! I had a jazz band contest in Vermillion SD, and I played keyboard (electric piano) for that. I had a solo on that and apparently I got an 'Outstanding Solo Award' for that. That kinda suprised me... until I found out they give you an award if you do a solo anyway unless you were absolutely HORRIBLE (and trust me, I came close). It's harder (for me anyway) to make up something on the spot compared to reading music. Bus ride there and back is always fun though!
Today, I ran with Austin Renes THREE MILES! and walked THREE MILES!!! I wasn't forced to, but then I thought about how pained and tired I was after Monday's practices last year, so I thought I should run. It's more fun with some one else. We brought a dog with us (1/2 unwillingly), and that made it easier and harder. Harder to control him, but easier for him to drag you when your running (well, we were somewhat jogging).
Happy Birthdays! Glad you had fun with your Wisconsonite friends Becka! I WANT SUMMER!!!

Arg, track season

Oh, the pain! Oh, the horror! It's... TRACK SEASON!!! NO!

Well, I guess it's not that bad... i guess. Of course, I will get incredibly sore, and incredibly cold at times, and incredibly hot at times, and incredibly regret going out... but, i guess it'll be worth it. I'm trying to get into shape. That's always fun. Now, I'm looking at track shoes, stretching every morning and night, and groaning after EVERY single practice. Well, I guess it will be worth it... I'll be in shape for running errands for my dad around the farm. That's the icing on my cake? Ummmm, maybe I should rethink my decision of going out for track...

O man!

Well, our field trip WAS canceled! I got up at FIVE THIRTY for nothing!!!!!!!! Grrrrrr.
Well, I guess we'll have it another time. I think they said April 8. Des Moines, here we come... on April 8.

Summer Fever? Why yes, I DO have a HORRIBLE case of it!

SUMMER!!! WHY MUST YOU JUST ESCAPE MY GRASP! It is the last quarter of the school year. This is a time of heating up, thawing out, and WAITING! Whay might a schoolboy be waiting for? Well, one example would be SUMMER VACATION!!!!!!!!!! I canNOT wait!!!

Well, with how many snow days we've been having, I would guess school might go into June... let's hope not. That's why I like half days and 2 hour late starts, but don't like snow days. It prolongs my waiting of SUMMER!!!

I try not to think about how long it is until summer (bad karma, it'll make summer come even later), but its proving to be a very difficult task. I have summer fever... and BAD!

It................ is TIME!

The moment my mom's been cleaning for. EASTER!!!

Well, as I've said before, we are having the Trudeaus (mom's side) over for Easter. They're not as big as the Hooyers, but they're still a pretty big family... but very UNLIKE the Hooyers, the Trudeaus are a little less... whats the word... rambuctious. Mom sees that as good though, less clean-up!

GOOD LUCK NICK AT STATE!!

HAPPY EASTER!

Good Friday!!!

Happy Good Friday! BE GOOD!!!!

No meat:(
