This week I was asked to join a spring club ball team. I was really excited when I got asked because these are girls I haven’t played with. It was our first practice today and it was really intense! We ran some really hard drills and I got tired really fast. I guess I better get in shape It was really fun practicing with the girls and I’m looking forward to improving with them!

I’m also really excited for the summer because I’m going to lots of basketball camps with my friends.

I’ve got a lot of thing off this past few weeks and I am so happy!

Last week I got my CAST OFF! It felt really weird when it came off. It’s really weak! I put lots of lotion on it cause it was really dry! My arm is also really hairy! I’ve never seen it so skinny before! I’ve shot lots of baskets to get my form back. I’m so happy I got it off!

A few days ago I got my BRACES OFF! I got my braces Last March, so I’ve had them on for a year! My teeth feel way different. I’m really glad I got them because they’re really straight! Hopefully I wont have to get another cast or braces again!

On December 23 my dad took my brother Daxon and I snowboarding for the first time.

We got up at 6:00 and started getting ready. When we were done getting ready we waited for are friends to come pick us up.
We went with our friends Darren and his two boys Dustin and Rylin. When they got to our house we loaded our stuff in the vehicle and headed off.

 About the sixth run we all went up together. My brother and dad went on a different run and asked if I wanted to go with them. I said “no” ‘cause I wanted to go on a more difficult run. Then we started going… I was doing amazing, better than I ever thought I would do. At the end it gets really flat and if you fall it’s hard to get back up.  Close to the end I fell. It was pretty hard to get back up so I attempted a few times then pushed myself really hard and got up. I went about two feet then fell again. I landed on my right wrist. For a moment I was stunned to what just happened. Then there was a burst of pain. I’ve never been in so much pain in my life. Of course I didn’t cry… Well maybe a little. I started to cry and call for Darren who was already down the hill but he could see me easily. He ran up the hill and asked me what happened. I told him that I fell on my wrist and that it feels like it’s broken. He tried to take my glove off to see if it was fractured and bleeding, because my friend had a compound fracture earlier in November but that’s another story. While I was getting mad at him that he didn’t know how to loosen my glove my dad and brother skied down to see what was up.

 We told my dad what happened and they took my board off and headed down to the ski lodge. I was still in a lot of pain. Luckily, heroic Dr.Clarke was at the ski hill.

Dr.Clarke is a doctor from our town. He was at basketball when my friend Camrie fractured her arm. Haha what are the odds. My dad went to look for Dr.Clarke but couldn’t find him so we went to the first aid place. When we got there they looked at my arm and basically said it’s either broken or it’s not. So we went back to the lodge and my dad found Dr.Clarke. He looked over my arm and said it was broken.

My dad asked him if he should take me to the hospital in the nearest town, the hospital at home, or what we should do. Dr.Clarke laughed then said, his daughter had a friend that was skiing with them and she broke both of her arms and they just kept skiing and left her in the cabin, so that’s what they did. They left me in

the cabin with everything I could ask for. I watched T.V. then fell asleep. When they were done skiing they took me home and Dr. Clarke put a cast on me. (My Mom didn’t know yet) We then went home. Darren was still with us ‘cause he wanted to see my mom’s reaction. We walked in the door and down the hall and my mom was ironing clothes and had her back turned to us. She asked how our day was and my dad replied, “it was good for part of the day.” Then my mom turned around and saw my arm and she was sooooo stunned. Her face was ridiculous. She couldn’t believe I broke my arm. We explained what happened and she still hardly could believe it. We all had a good laugh about her reaction. Then Darren went home. After I called my friend Camrie and told her what happened and that now we both have broken arms for Christmas (I broke mine December 23) I took tons of medicine. It hurt for a few days but now it’s fine. I still have my cast and I’ve played two games of basketball and was in for most the time on both of the games!

 My brother Daxon has broke his foot, left arm, and femur! He breaks a lot of things.
